There are a few different philosophies for changing the world, and most of them have been tried before. Which methods work depends on many different societal factors, but it’s clear that some methods just don’t work. History can tell us a lot about what we need to know, but our schools teach us a very limited history. Lost to the most recent generation is the history of the movements of the 60s and 70s and the lessons we could have learned from them.

Kyle’s Crazy House: Earthen Plaster on the Gnestle
Dancing Rabbit is the best place to see many examples of natural building first hand. We have over 30 natural buildings in one place built from mostly local, natural, and reclaimed materials. In this video, and the next few I post, I will be showcasing the buildings of Kyle Yoder, who’s lived at DR for several years and is known for the organic forms of his design. One of the great things about natural building is the freedom it gives builders to think beyond the 90 degree angle. Kyle’s just begun the finish plaster of his own home, the Gnestle, and we’re going to get a peek at his work and a little explanation from the builder himself.
Turning waste into food: Oyster mushrooms on old shitake logs
In this video I take some old shitake logs, along with some white oak beam cutoffs, and inoculate them with oyster mushroom spawn. I’d read about reusing old shitake logs to grow mushrooms in succession in a Paul Stamets book. I’m going to give them a jump by putting them in the microclimate of my hoop house. Grow your food locally for a more sustainable economy.
