It's been awhile since the last time I have posted. Several months ago I finished my 1st year of Herbal school at ACHS and bought a 24" RV (thank you all who donated to my RV fund via paypal).
I'm hoping next year to continue my herbal training at the School of Traditional Western Herbalism here in Portland. I'm hoping to have $6,000 (planned to do the full 3 years) saved up by next year for the school, so paypal donation are welcome. I been working on fixing up my RV. Right now I'm working on replacing all the bulbs with LED bulbs which use a lot less electricity. I'm also working on getting a small generator and in the future I hope to get a solar panel or two for the roof.
The RV has a nice new fridge and stove/oven and I love to cook. Everything works great and the engine runs strong. I am planning on changing all the hoses, belts, spark plugs and cables. Put in a bigger winter battery and replace the thermostat and fan clutch.
My newest hobby has been buying, reading books on wild foods and foraging. I highly recommend the books by Samuel Thayer. It only seem natural as a herbalist to expand my education into wild food foraging since my goal is to go completely off the grid.
Work has slacked off so am living tight through the winter. Hopefully by spring I'll be back to work. I'm a flagger and road construction will pick back up then. But I've also been looking for organic farming jobs as well.
Anyway I'm back and have time to write. So I will be blogging a lot cause I have a lot on my mind that is begging to be posted. lol So much has been happening and I can't wait to share it all with you. So till my next piece, have a good one!
