Kyle's Permie Bootcamp (BRK)

Hi everyone. I'm Kyle, one of the new boots at Wheaton Labs. I'm staying in the Tipi up on the lab.

I've been here since last Sunday and I'm just settling into the rhythm of the day. I am used to getting up early and hard physical work but it has been a huge change having a necessary rhythm of heating the Tipi and spending mornings and nights without internet. Honestly it has been nice waking and sleeping with the phases of the day.

I'm excited to post updates of the project I'm helping with but today's post is all about how my morning's start.

I'll have some design ideas for Tipi in the future.

Love the photos! We are so excited for your adventure - keep up posted.

First an update on boot projects.

Daniel and I started one of the roundwood timber gates at Allerton Abbey. Nothing worth a picture yet but I'll deliver one when its done.

In the afternoon a bunch of boots went up to Fred's plot and planted hundreds of seeds. I did oak acorns, maple seeds, peas, and persimmons. And I only fell on my ass once. And on my face once.

Really I wiped out 4 times today... Mixing ice, mud, and slopes together is pretty treacherous.

Okay now on to the cool design stuff. My ideas for improving the Tipi.

Awesome I love it

After doing some clean up this morning, everyone gets Saturday to themselves. So I took a trip over to Missoula and stocked up on some food and a pot and pan. It's time to tinker with Rocket Mass Heater cooking.
