Hey guys! cool forum; I really feel welcome. This summer, once I graduate from college, Im planning on going out to my dads camp in the country of central canada (ontario) and building a shelter to experiment with all sorts of projects. Stuff like, making clay pottery, attempting to create a self sustainable type garden (hopefully gravity watering? or something like that?).. My goal is to ultimately build a shelter, and a sweat lodge. I am going to film it as a documentary of some sort, but I want to just re-uinite with my old self before the grip of post secondary school re-directed my thoughts and ideas arty:. Anyways, Im Wondering about how I can go about this garden. Im considering constructing a small pond to gravity feed water down to my garden if I need it. Does anyone have any cool ideas or guidelines of how I can set up my garden? What kind of projects would you enjoy to see in a documentary like this? Here are some ideas I have: Make my own rope Clay pots and cooking ware Wood utensels and bowls sweat lodge grow a garden (and tabacco and sweetgrass perhaps) create a few foraged teas and other medicines make my own candles (sap) food drying process build a fish trap compost Make my own flute clay rocket stove make a home made hammock make a fire from a bow drill make a chair Make flat bread Natural soap Cheers!
