Congratulations and I hope to sell out as well as you have in the near future!

Sprouting seeds are very cheap, 1 teaspoon will completely fill a quart mason jar. And there's nothing to spill, you do an initial soak of your seeds for a few hours and then afterwards you just rinse 2 times per days, they do very well in cold weather. They're eaten raw (no cooking) need...

Some aspects of raw food diets might help you find some more options, things like sprouting, adding sources of omega 3 like hemp seeds, adding in some other nuts/seeds to get a variety of nutrients. Of course (and sadly), the raw food universe is full of crazies, but Dr. Gabriel Cousens has a...

I've studied and successfully used homeopathics (and many herbs as well) for over 20 years, and had very good results personally and so I feel confident in having the required knowledge to use them correctly. Homeopathic remedies are nothing like herbal supplements, and both require skillful use...

Up until the time that I started actively researching nomadic living, a van was just a large vehicle. Van drivers were in bands and carried lots of equipment or they didn't care about gas mileage (I chuckle loudly at myself for that one!) or they got it cheap, etc. It never occurred to me that...

I've cut my own hair for over 20 years, I have longish hair usually and I usually wear it up so if it isn't perfect it won't matter. I found a technique called Feye's Self Trimming instructions and it's just the same as I've been doing! Here's the link http://feyeselftrim.livejournal.com/ Scroll...

Welcome Techdog, I'll probably be saving for years too, it's giving me time to really hone my vision of how I want to live, which can only be a good thing :)

What a sleek camper you have! very nice!

Not sure if you're wanting raw materials to work with or if they're usable for you in their current form, but I always send my silver scrap to Rio Grande to be recycled, you get credit for it, depending on the current silver price. I always get more wire and sheet, but I'm pretty sure you can...

I've been dreaming of a cob house since I first read about them, one is definitely in my future! I'm getting rid of most of my books, but my beloved copy of Hand Sculpted House is staying in my library.

I've found jobs where I'm on my feet and moving around all day to be far less stressful than any sort of office/cubicle job. Sore feet is nothing, and once you figure out your particular job, you're fine. Can't do much for the boredom and tedium, but it seems like it pays pretty well, so that...

What is it about dudes riding bikes in a g string? There was one in San Antonio and several in Austin when I lived there! I'm looking forward to being there at some point and doing some trading!

I just realized something, I might be closer to my dream than I realized! I have a 2005 Toyota Matrix that has low mileage and is in pretty good condition, I might be able to finagle a trade for a class c! What kind of odds would that be??! At any rate, it's not a good tow car (I don't think I...

Honestly, I have too many ideas for things to make! I do ok selling online, but I've thought about gearing some creations toward selling in person as I travel. I'll have to wait til I get out there and get a feeling for those I meet :)

Nice to meet you too Sunny :)
