And I started yet another blog that's a bit more personal and adds the technomad element.
Here's a link to the details.
I'm happy to let anyone who wants to help the SD Origin Skills Community materialize to be a poster here!

Let's go to the forest on or before May 2.
I'm planning to be headed to the forest by May 2--with the plan of staying up to two weeks.
By forest, I'm thinking of going into Los Padres National Forest probably at Ojai. But I'm open to other forests too. Pine Creek Wilderness (within 100 mi of San Diego) is another one I've already been in.
The skills I'm thinking of working on: net-making, fire-making, and botanizing.
The other part of the trip for me is testing out some non-origin skills: seeing what the cellphone reception is, testing out a portable solar charger for recharging an old pda I have with ebooks on it + the cellphone.
The vision I'm testing/ further exploring is of living in the forest while still being contactable so that people can come visit and so that I could still accept occasional work--say with http://www.naturalists-at-large.com/ or other outdoor ed companies.
If you'd like to go, but will only stay for a weekend, I'll work with that! I don't want to be a hermit out there--I'd like set an example for wilderness living in community that others could follow and participate in without needing tons of $$ or land ownership.
So let me know if you're interested!
Peace,
Colin
