We’ve known eachother online for awhile in various contexts: internet stalker and stalkee, turned friends, turned online boyfriend and girlfriend.  Now you could consider us star-crossed lovers who because of our stubborn roots on opposite sides of the continent, have to settle for being creative business partners. You can read Scout’s verision of the story here: An Anarcho-Primitivist Romance, here: Week12: From Cave to Grave With Penny Scout, here: Whiskey in the Yarrow! and finally here: Week13: Smokin’ Peace With Penny. But really no blog can do the week justice. [...] [...] Another big thing that happened is Urban Scout came to visit me!

I'll betray my age and say I've had a similar desire to abondon modern society for the last 25 years. As a teen I was attracted to the whole right wing para-military bunker culture but never figured I could afford it so I just stayed a Gen X slacker. For over a decade I developed intrests that varied between neo-primitive and practical backwoods skills. I'm still a neophyte on the upward slope of the learning curve but I imagine I can overcome it in time. You shouldn't overlook resouces like dumpster diving and metal working. If things do collapse the remains of civilization should be reused. Primitive blacksmithing is an option. Nice tools can be made from old truck springs. I have enough metal working skills, that if I desired to attempt it I could make a fuctional flintlock musket. Anyway keep up the good work. Your blog is an ispiration to those of us who once sought a similar path but have lagged behind. Sincerely, some old fart in Texas Well Urban looks like you had a great adventure irregardless of the outcome.

You can also grow gourds to be used as ladles/spoons, and much more. You probably already know all this but just thought I would share! You can also grow gourds for your very own loofah sponge! http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.asp?item_no=S10743 http://www.amybond.com/definegourd.htm I also want to work on getting a group together to learn how to make baskets out of natural fibers like blackberry, honeysucle, and ivy vines! Any info on that?! -emily Hey there, I don’t know what you think about growing gourds for bowls, but just though I would let you know about it, since you are talking about gardening…
