Spiritfest

I attended the Spirits of the Earth Festival that went from the 1st to the 6th. It is now July 8th and I am just starting to recover. I did 5 workshops (4 of mine and I helped Tovah do the Massage for couples workshop). The 4 I did was Introduction to Tai Chi,solar collectors and solar arrays, worm composting and organic gardening and I did one on juggling just for fun. I learned a lot there ( aside from learning how to belly dance) about how a group of people can come together to do something great. I had so many different conversations on such a diverse set of topics I don't even know where to begin. I got a small taste of what it would be like to live out of a trailer that had no electricity hook up. The owner of the trailer did have a couple solar panels and a battery and inverter set up so we could have some music and a couple of other things but that was just the icing on the cake and was not really needed. if we had no fuel for the fridge, things may have been a little different, but not much. The one problem with using this as a sample of what it could be like off grid was the fact that people would run into town for a timmie's run or just to grab a pack of smokes or what not. The fact that there is still gas flowing and a town still operating close by meant the psychological impact was lacking. For me, I just pretended we where cut off. Any chance I get to practice any prep work I will take. Leave a comment and tell me what you have been up to in your preps.
