Low Cost Shelter Project Proposal:

Here's another project I want to work on in parallel with the retreat center: From the feedback I got with forum members, there are many that have limited funds. So this project addresses those people specifically: It is a project to build low lost bunker shelters that would have the best chance to survive the changes, including the shift. The idea is to take a shelter concept like a camping tent or Indian tepee, and ruggedized it. Here's the proposal outline:

Concrete bunkers of cylindrical shape (pill box shape) for strength, re-enforced with steel (rebar mesh) 20 feet in diameter.
Each shelter compartmentised into 4 rooms (floor area is 1/4 of a circle).
Insulated for winter, integrated wood stove for heating
Includes right to limited land access for growing food.
To be used for camping (year round) before the shift, shared revenue generation stream.
Designed to be integrated with Green house in the future, community utilities as it becomes available.


Initial applicants limited to people participating in Basic Food project.

Basic Food Project Proposal:

The purpose of this project is to gain experience in growing food. Looking for people that have interest and/or experience in growing food/ vegetable gardens. The food will be divided between the people that grow the food and the community.

Interest parties can contact me for comments/questions/ further details. I would also be interested in people's opinion if they would prefer an "insulated tepee" semi-permanent structure as opposed to the concrete bunker concept.
