Want to Meet Paul Wheaton in Person? Host or Join a Potluck!

Hi Paul,

Since you're coming this direction, how about visiting Alaska?? We'd love to have you here! Rocket Mass Stove Heaters would be a great topic.

Luetta

When do you expect to be in Utah? And which part?

How about north west Montana? Libby in Lincoln county perhaps? I don’t know permies here but there are many people who are concerned about the environment. My home is earth sheltered and I garden on the roof. I am working toward sustainability for my children, grandchildren, and their children as the environment, social and physical, changers.

Are you willing to organize something, Randy? Maybe suggest same dates, and we’ll go from there!

Beautiful garden, Roberta! Hopefully, you wish to show it off?

Same question for you: are you willing to organize a little event, maybe at your place?

Alaska, as good as it sounds, is a little far. Paul is willing to drive 7 or 8 hours from his Montana home.

Let’s see what he has to say about it, though!

Hey y’all! We’re up for some good times here in Eugene, OR, and dates are pretty flexible. Any idea when this tour might start? Also willing to host Paul overnight if needed!

Paul we would love to host you on our small offgrid Earthstead here in southern Colorado. FairlyOddFowlMouthedFarmer@gmail.com

At the moment, I do not have "real id" nor do i have a passport.  Therefore, I am not allowed on planes, trains or boats.  Nor am I allowed across the canadian border.  So I cannot go to alaska.

Randy Eggert wrote:When do you expect to be in Utah? And which part?

Nobody has invited me yet.  

My current thinking is the northern bit is on the edge of my range.  Of course, if I am in the northern bit of utah, and somebody wants me to go 3 hours further, i would maybe be good with that.

That's a bit outside of my range. Although I have been wanting to see a thing in denver https://meowwolf.com/visit/denver

I wonder if there could be a series of potlucks there and a different series to come back.

Just a thought, what about a Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, etc. series? Start in one state then do a circle back to the beginning. Living in Kansas there is the Kansas Permaculture Institute doing projects throughout the state. It would just be a matter of getting things set up in each state.

I'm thinking Paul might be keen on something like this if people do the organizing. I know he's usually overworked with too many things on his plate and note enough hours in the day. But, if people get everything set up, that makes it a lot easier and probably more feasible.

Good point! Overworking is no good and is stressful. Maybe someone will in the next few months start a thread about another hosting or potluck event.

I could host a bbq or something in Salt Lake, but we don't have much of any permies related stuff going on at our house. I've got some earthen building stuff going on down in Escalante area, but that's pretty far outside your range.

You could start a thread fishing for SLC interest.  You could say that you would be glad to host, but are hoping for bigger hosts (or something).  Basically, get the discussion started, share a link in this thread, and we will see what we can get going.

Hello Paul,

I would be willing to host a potluck in Sedro Woolley, WA.  If you have potential interest in coming to the area.  I could also post to the Regenerate Cascadia group and see level of interest.  

What are the approximate dates of the trip?

Larry

With regard to Libby, I have a guest room and could host two or three people. Calendar here is pretty open although I may have family here for a week or so in September.

hmmm ...   i am gonna be in portland on sep 6

https://permies.com/t/282327/portland-oregon-september

Would it be okay to be a bit mid-week-ish, say, sep 9?  A bit of a dinner potluck sort of thing?  If so, I could head that way after portland.

My name is Mark ludeman. I own a forty-acre farm and forest halfway between Portland and the Oregon coast, Cannon Beach, Seaside
I can provide rooms and a space for a gathering and a potluck
I have Paul twice. I hosted him a number of years ago when he did his bus tour  at my   store in Beaverton, oregon
I first met him when Sepp Holzer came to Oregon and Washington and spent several days with them, which was life-changing

mark,

have you seen this thread?

https://permies.com/t/282327/portland-oregon-september

I exchanged some emails with julia.  What if i pop over to your place on sunday, the 7th?

Hi Paul, yes, I saw that thread. That is where I found out about you traveling. Yes, Sunday, the 7th, will work; it is on our calendar. My phone is 503 709 0706. Please confirm so I can put the work out and start gathering others

I will be there on the 7th.  

If you post to the portland thread the time, and a few particulars, we will make sure it is properly announced.

Hi Paul,
This is such a fun idea! If you are still looking for more stops on your trip, we would be wiling to host a potluck at our home. It would be nice to connect with more people who are interested in permaculture in our local area. We live in Salkum WA. Its just outside Chehalis/Centralia WA and only about 2 hours from Portland. We have 7 acres and a creek and swimming hole that's gorgeous this time of year. We have some homestead projects like a small orchard, garden, foraging on our land, and chickens, but are relatively new to homesteading/permaculture. We'd love to have a conversation and share inspiration for simple and bountiful living!

I can make a really good pie! But I also love cooking "food as medicine" style.

We are available anytime August 10th-Sept 2nd.

Best,
Emily and Jared

Certainly I could get a group together in Libby, any date that is convenient for Mr Wheaton. Again, I have a guest room and could provide accommodations in two bedrooms with separate bath. I have a “no steps” entrance option and am aging in place. The rooftop garden is a bit of an uphill hike, needs grandson muscle to neaten it up. Dogs and cats live here.

I will try to make Sandpoint but would enjoy putting something together here in Libby.

Good morning, Mark Ludeman here.  My wife and I are hosting Paul on September 7
We live half way between portland and Cannon Beach Seaside just before The Vernonia turn off on why 26 above a community called Buxton
We have a forty-acre farm and homestead with pasture and forest, and cows, goats, sheep, Rabbits, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and geese
We also have fruit and nut trees, berries, and of course, a garden and greenhouses
We are a couple in our Seventies
I first met Paul when Sepp holzer came to to our part of the world that prompted me to get a exvachtor and put in some hugelbeds
I also hosted Paul when he did his bus tour when I had a retail store in Beaverton
Besides our Farm I do fireplace work which I have done for forty years
And I have a healing practice with some unique abilities I have Which my wife is involved in also

please letting us know if you are coming so we can start making a list and plan
thanks everyone we are excited to host paul and all you coming

Paul, we are one hour from Cannon Beach, and seaside. We often have people stay here who are going to the coast, as it is cheaper and much quieter
Let us know how we can assist you, and what time you are coming Yes, we can provide a room just let us know what you need  thanks

I was going to say that maybe this is something i could add into my early september trip ...   but it looks like our schedules don't quite meet.

On september 26 I need to be in spokane.  Maybe something around september 27?

I am a part of a group in Missoula, MT that is exploring shared living and communal ownership situations. We are currently meeting monthly to share a meal and learn together.

I'd previously met Paul at Dr. Vicki Watson's in Missoula a few years ago, and would love to host him for a potluck and discussion.

get a thread started in the missoula forum

https://permies.com/f/47/missoula

and we will hammer out a date and time!

Hi Paul, Sorry for the delay I was checking my September calendar. We had some plans cancel - What dates in early September are good for you?

I was hoping for good weather, since our outdoor space for hosting is bigger than our indoor space…. But that’s ok, if not. I can do Sept 27th/28th, but if we do early September the weather might be better


We have a guest room with a comfortable pull out bed, that you are welcome to. If you don’t mind a house full of kids. We’ve got 4 kids. They are 7, 5, 3, and 4 months. You’d have your own room. Bathroom is shared with kids.

-Emily

Mid October would be probably work for Libby. Weather gets a little iffy after that.

I will be doing a potluck west of portland on september 7.    So maybe september 8?  Since that is a monday, perhaps it could start at 5:30 in the evening?

saturday october 11?

Seems your schedule is filling quickly Paul, but if next spring you want a Bitterroot visit, we would be glad to host in Victor--give a tour of the property and the builds/growies here.
