-15 degrees with a windchill of -30 and I sure am happy that #earlybird isn’t my only home these days...#vermont

@rafaela221 enjoying some #leftovers on her snow-throne part of the way up Mt. Abraham in the Green Mountain National Forrest. Big thanks to the farmers at #ICF in #Burlington for growing the most delicious #Delicata squash ive ever had. #optoutside

When I rode my motorcycle across the country I stealth camped the entire way. I would set up my hammock after #sunset, and be moving again before dawn; paying for camp sites just wasn't in my budget. When I met up with @ne1son.klein he was in the same boat. So one night in northern #California we stumbled upon one of the most #peaceful places I've ever been. It's overlooks the largest remaining patch of #oldgrowth #redwoods, and the #pacific ocean. #magic P.S. for any friends around California - my motorcycle is at a friends place in Humboldt Country and I'm willing to give her (Maggie) away to anyone who can convince me that they can give her a good life aka ride her around and have lots of fun!!

Thanks to some rain that passed through, we spent as much time hanging out drinking #coffee well into the after noon as we did #climbing; this amounted to a steady flow of good times from sun-up to sun-down. @climbaholics101 drinking his second (third?) ☕️ #squamish (at Stawamus Chief Provincial Park)

Ohhh Canada 🇨🇦 (at Stawamus Chief Provincial Park)

[vincentmorano]

A few days hanging with some of the best friends and best granite around made the drive to Canada well worth it. Henry happened to be real photogenic on our way up Skywalker - thanks for the rad times @ne1son.klein @tippedoutadventures @climbaholics101 #squamish #bc #maytheforcebewithyou (at Squamish, British Columbia)

I usually scroll through Instagram during my morning 💩. This morning was almost no different. I pulled out my phone and just as Instagram was opening, I realized where I was - in the forest, squatting, pooping. Just as humans have done for millions and millions of years. I quickly put away my phone and took in the majesty and lushness of this mossy forest. And perhaps by no coincidence I had one of the best poops of recent memory. And of course because I'm a slave to the Internet I took a photo before I left - this is where I pooped (in a 6 inch deep hole, at least 200 feet from a water source #leavenotrace) #squamish #bc #canada (at Squamish, British Columbia)

We had just driven six hours north and ended up at a quiet little cove that @coraliris had recommended. We stretched our legs walking on the slippery rocks and squishy sand while our minds filed with wonder of the vastness before us. 'Do you think there are different species that evolved in isolation on those islands?' I wondered out loud as we perched upon that rock, gazing into the freshness of the North Atlantic. 'No, now give me a kiss'

We got 16 inches of rain during June in the Mad River Valley, and at the @wholesystemsdesign PDC all that precipitation lent itself to some good learning opportunities. Redirecting run-off at a 1% grade with a sheet flow dispersement at then end. It was amazing to see how fast this got done with such a big group of people. And best of all, it actually worked...

@hobogreg raps at #rogersrock on #lakegeorge last week. Now for a couple weeks of #NewEngland adventuring before heading to the #northwest...

I usually have a tough time handling the power dynamic with teachers, but sometimes things click. Learning about bowl turning from Johannes Michelsen has really cut down on the learning curve. He had some #spalted wood laying around and we turned it into this. Maybe I'd still rather be climbing rocks but this is a shaping up to be exciting in its own right.

I've recently stumbled upon a #portal to another dimension. A dimension where perfection exists as a state of mind, where the process is the vessel. And I've made some sweet little bowls too! #woodturning #bowlturning #lathe

Today, I wanted a day off to work on a phot project in Burlington, i asked my boss two days ago and she was stoked. No questions asked, just told me to take the day(s) that i needed. Just down the road, and all across the state/country, there are farm workers who live in a very different world. When most #dairy farm workers in #VT want a day off, they've got to get out and march. When these men and woman want to get paid minimum wage for the strenuous work they do so there is ice cream on the shelf they've got to fight for it, and are still for the most part ignored. Next time a conversation comes up about immigration, ask yourself if you know where your last meal came from. Who picked that fruit from the northwest , or those vegetables from Florida, where did that cheese come from? Chances are better than not a migrant worker had a hand in it and was not fairly compensated. A dairy worker during the #MigrantJustice march from Montpelier to Waterbury in June.

Ian experimenting with new #Kombucha flavors. Here he strains and bottles #spirulina & #kale. It smelled like swamp water but the taste was far most pleasant. It's been great to work on a farm and have plenty of free time to be creative. More photos to come from the #pottery studio, #woodturning on the lathe, #silkscreening and #baking adventures on #earthskytimefarm #vermont #fermentation

Had my first bout with #foraging the other day. We got about 6 pounds of #chickenofthewoods and about the same amount of #scapes. The #acorn flour that we made was finally ready so it felt natural to fry it all in an acorn flour batter. I usually don't seek out foods that replicate the #taste or #texture of meat but this #mushroom looks like chicken meat (from the inside) and has a similar texture. It was incredibly filling, and satisfying to know that a #meal made with that high of quality ingredients, all grown right here in this #forest didn't cost a thing(save for time spent and fuel to cook with) 🐿🍽🌱#Vermont (at Rochester, Vermont)

#burlington has been a great place to #getinvolved, it seems like each week I learn of a new person or organization that is doing something to try and make the #community a better place. I've helped out a bit with @oldspokeshome and definitely look forward to spending more time helping these guys get affordable #bicycles into the community. #vt #communityworkshop #ridemoredriveless #commuterbike (at Old Spokes Home Community Workshop)
