I prefer the manner wherein you reduced this issue. down in to portions - it suddenly becomes not difficult to appreciate. In addition it honestly is entertaining to see. Carry on the very good work and carry on with the website. Loved the post. I prefer the manner wherein you reduced this issue. down in to portions

Of course, you should come up for a visit. I want to go super minimalist, but I thought of the solar oven - I'll check out the site. I was wondering how it would with the cooler temps in VT, but you just answered that question ! Thank you! See you, Tao Thanks so much for the love and ideas, Sami.

We are gonna missyou around here though. If you do need to do some cooking, consider making/buying a solar cooker - I#'ve been experimenting with mine in March, and have catagorically proven that it is possible to burn myself fairly painfully when it's only 60 degrees outside. https://www.sunoven.com/ Other zero carbon cooking options would include a small gassifier cookstove (though actually I believe they do require AA batteries for the fan) from Victory Gas Works http://gasifierstore.com/woodgas-campstoves/ And if you wanna cook and heat efficiently, then a rocket stove might make more sense than an open bonfire - check out make your own instructions here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=797446823830833401 Good luck!!!!!

Have you checked out Dan Price over at http://simpleshoes.typepad.com/wheresdan/ and he wrote a great book called Radical Simplicity. He writes and tells about his adventures and life living in a Hobbit Hole in Oregon. If you need the book he wrote, I will mail it to you to get your adventure underway.
