    Is the Jamboree novice friendly and can a 17 year old attend with an accompanied adult?

    Yes and yes It's a great opportunity for learning, with no experience required, and you can practically immerse yourself as much or as little as you like.  With such a variety of tracks available, there will be something that will appeal to both of you I'm sure.  We look forward to seeing you both next year!

    The 2023 PTJ saw a new shaded area to help keep attendees cool!  Meet Bob!  The new sun shade solution at Wheaton Labs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUcg__3k-IE

    So you'll be shaded from that summer sun when you attend the 2024 PTJ!

    For those under than 18yr we follow the principles laid out in our thistle program.

    The key points for an event:
    1. Work next to your parent
    2. Be respectful
    3. Obey

    We had a parent this year who left (the parent was respectful and left without being asked) because their child wasn't respectful.

    I'm a professional photographer & videographer, would you have a need for any pro-level photography or video? I'm a commercial photographer now, and I have a successful business, since 2013...thanks to God, being in Oregon. Paul Wheaton or crew, if you need some really incredible imagery I would be THRILLED to assist. You can see my work at https://lingmesser.com & you can reach me via the website

    We have had problems when we have hired "professional" videographers in the past.

    Last year we had much better luck with the participants taking video.

    If you want to purchase a ticket, you are encouraged to submit video you take.

    The Kickstarter Video Deal:
    For each minute of video you take and submit, that we use in a kickstarter movie, we will provide for you:

    - $50 (or $100, or $200 - see below)
    - 2 gift codes for the final product
    - $50 worth of digital market moichendize (PW)
    - $50 off a ticket(s) to future jamborees

    So if you set us up with 30 minutes of video that make it into a final kickstarter movie:

    - $1500 (or $3000, or $6000 - see below)
    - 60 gift codes for the final product
    - $1500 worth of digital market moichendize (PW)
    - $1500 off a ticket(s) to future jamborees

    Fine print:

    - for a kickstarter movie that brings in more than $50,000

      o $50 per minute if the kickstarter brings in $50k to $99K
      o $100 per minute if the kickstarter brings in $100k to $199K
      o $200 per minute if the kickstarter brings in more than $200K

    - prorated, so if we use 22 seconds you get 22/60 of a minute of this dealio

    - we might try to use your video for other stuff, but there is no compensation for that

      o "full event", "bonus video" or "stuff that didn't get into the movie"
      o stuff on youtube
      o etc.

    - we are considering if the next Low Tech movie is from a single event or combining the next two.

    Speaking of shade...I was planning to camp on the grounds in my tent, but I read that there are only a few tent pads and it may be too rocky otherwise. How can I be sure to get a tent pad? Other advice for tent campers? Will there be mostly tent campers or do most people stay at outside hotels?

    The tent pads are on a "first come, first serve" basis.  Many folks rent the cabins on site or stay in local hotels.

    Hi there!

    There are many places you can tent at the Basecamp outside the tent pads, so no worries if all the tent pad spots are reserved when you arrive!

    Up in the Lab there are no tent pads, but there are plenty of meadow-like or grassy spots to pitch a tent. Tenting is quite popular during the summer events.

    Advice for tent campers.. Nothing special comes to mind at this point.

    For everyone's excitement, here's a short clip from my project last year:


    And they actually turned it into a full length movie

    So come out to the PTJ and you can build epic stuff and maybe get paid to gather footage for a future movie :)

    I am in a vintage travel trailer (with a small dog)...what campgrounds are close - being that things get stared early I want to be as close as possible? And I'm asking for a friend who can live with someone in Missoula, is that too far?

    Thanks

    Hello Heidi!  Welcome to permies!

    We have lots of space to pitch a tent or park a travel trailer in the shade.  We will definitely find you a good spot!


    We do have other people wanting to come with dogs!  

    Here is the link, we can chat about dogs over there:
    https://permies.com/t/248667/Special-Request-Proposal-PTJ#2303050


    Missoula is just under an hour away.  If you drive like I do (gawking at the scenery) it can take longer.

    There is a campground about 10 minutes away too but I would stay onsite myself.    

    Wheaton Labs is a wild place full of nature.  It is a special experience, sleeping out in the quiet mountains, something modern folks don't often get.

    I am afraid it does not look like I am going to be able to attend the 2024 Permaculture Technology Jamboree.  I would like to donate my ticket to a Permies Fan.  I assume that is cool with the admins of the PTJ.  If so, I will post that I have one available and call for an eligible Permie that would like it and I choose a lucky person.

    thanks

    I added a post in meaningless drivel for my free ticket.  One of the staffers recommended that forum.  I am not sure that is the best place to get eyeballs.  I am thinking the maybe the SKIP or PEP area might be better.  I guess we will see...

    I was off-line-ish for a bit ...

    Rob,

    If you are cool with selling it for what you paid for it, I would be glad to have a mention run in the dailyish.

    For me, I have feelings about resentments.  If you are giving it away, then all the people that bought tickets might have some feels that they got fucked - because they paid real monies, but could have gotten it for free.

    I think it is possible that there will be people that now wanna bring a buddy to the PTJ, or they couldn't get their ducks in a row in time or something like that.

    Paul,
    I wasn't looking at it that way.  It was just my misfortune that I could not attend and am willing to give my ticket away, like a scholarship thing.   But if you think people will resent that, I will defer to you.  You can resell the ticket if you want, but I don't really care about the money.  I look at is as my little (very little) contribution to Permaculture.  Can I set up a boot love account with what ever you get and redistribute to Permaculture that way?

    I like the way your mind thinks.  

    I know you watch the BRK threads.  

    The BRK is getting a bit of an overhaul.  How about the funds go into the BRK?

    You know I see that BRK acronym all the time and I for the life of me cannot come up with what it means, but am too lazy to do an exhausted search to find out.  Sure, I am cool with throwing it to something that helps the boots.

    I got you covered, Rob!  Thanks for your care for the boots and your investment in the future of permaculture!

    BRK stands for Biological Reverse Kickstarter.  There is a whole story there, which I will spare you, because we might be about to change the name.

    Hello everyone!

    There's a wizard at Wheaton Labs that's going to be offering 2 healing and recovery experiences during the events, discounts available for pre-scheduling All times are minimum times, some sessions will run longer as needed.

    Both sessions utilize energetic practices like Reiki & Quantum Touch, along with gentle bodywork and Taoist acupressure to realign your structure and destress your soul

    "The Reset" = A 20-minute session designed to relax, align, and open up. Great for shaking off a long day and continuing to have a good time!
    $15 when scheduled

    "Deep Dive" = A 60-minute session of deep work. We'll work on whatever your needs are (manifestation/reality empowerment, opening, communication, centering and calming, etc...). Attunements and training are also available during this time!
    $50

    Who is this wizard? Brian the Boot!!
    I've been learning and practicing different kinds of energy work for over 20 years, attuned as a Reiki Master/Teacher for the last decade & creator of Radiant Amplified Healing.

    In short, my hands are good hands to be in!

    Most sessions will be on Saturday, a few session times will be available during the week.

    Prices listed are for reservations confirmed by June 30th, prices go up $10 for sessions booked during the PTJ. SKIP reservations are able to be made until July 14th before price increase.

    Ask your questions here or PM to reserve a spot!
