Hi Folks, Just wanted to put in a plug for Primitive Pursuits day tomorrow. This is an excellent opportunity to see how hands-on sustainable living, low (I prefer "ancestral") technology solutions can be useful, rewarding, fun, and natural. Primitive Pursuits gives a huge gift to our community every year they operate, and I hope some will take the time to come out and support their vision and their enthusiasm for the outdoors and simple living. Not to mention building a community of folks who have real skills for adapting to a lower energy density lifestyle.
Technology is only a tool, adapting our thinking is the solution. Primitive Pursuits day is an excellent way to step out of the box, and have some fun too!
