Wild Foods/Earthskills camp at Rainbow Nationals, Arkansas

Hey y’all- a bunch of feral folk have decided to create a new earthskills camp at the National Rainbow Gathering in Arkansas this year, which has already started and peaks on the 4th of july then winds down. (welcomehome.org has directions) Its going to combine wild foods, fermentation and sprouting, and primitive skills. the organizing is very organic and decentralized and what happens with depend on what projects and materials people bring. discussion has been very informal, but we hope to inspire people to just bring whatever supplies they think will be useful. some particular needs include:
-large tarps and rope
-cooking pots and skillets we can use on fire
-food grade plastic buckets
-fresh produce
-primitive skills tools and raw materials
-any ideas for discussions or workshops you want to teach

we’re kind of on our way there now so it won’t really work to contact me… but just use your imagination and your inspiration… look for any signs at the gathering to the “earthskills camp” or the green path kitchen"…

the site woodnettle mentions was a little tricky to navigate. here’s a more direct link to the information about the gathering in Fallsville, Arkansas.

You going to the rainbow gathering rix? I don’t think your name feels rainbowy enough. You may want to ponder a name such as “Moonbeam Humanure?”

I would really like to go. I might try to swing down there this weekend.

The full moon rises on Saturday, so the name you suggested might fit well as I cop a squat over a ditch.
