permaculture bootcamp at wheaton labs - paul wheaton's permaculture bootcamp

https://wheaton-labs.com/bootcamp I’m Paul Wheaton and here’s a video which gives insight of the permaculture bootcamp at Wheaton Labs featuring Fred Tyler & Cliff Ponder. Fred Tyler (land manager and bootcamp coordinator for Wheaton Labs) explains what the permaculture bootcamp at Wheaton Labs is and benefits for the participants. The Bootcamp program in a nutshell: work on permaculture and homesteading projects, get a bunk and some basic food staples. You pay $100, work, and then receive tickets to our events or even an acre of land. Participants get experience with:
using a variety of rocket mass heaters
harvesting wood for building, burning, hugelkultur, mulch, etc.
building furniture and structures from roundwood
building fences
building with cob
earthworks, ponds, hugelkultur
permaculture gardening
cooking
cooking with wood fired stuff
wildcrafting
solving homesteading issues
scything

Fred points out how people come and build skills and exchange skills. Fred went through the program and now has two acres. A recent project included a lot of roundwood timber framing. In the video we see Michelle and Tuesday harvesting sunchokes with Fred.

Cliff Ponder, a bootcamp participant talks about his experiences in bootcamp learning round wood timber framing with master artisan Bear Paw and Nick Fouch. Cliff was here for a couple of months and then attended the permaculture design course and appropriate technology course for free - as a sort of work trade. Cliff talks about building paddocks with our junkpole fence style and rock jacks (above-ground fence posts used in rocky terrain).
