I'm working on a project called Sustainable Howe Sound with the David Suzuki Foundation (sustainablehowesound.ca/).
From the website we're building... "Life in the waters of Howe Sound is rebounding after decades of harm from industrial activity. Planning for the future is the best way to protect the sound’s wildlife and communities. Sustainable Howe Sound is a platform for individuals and groups who share a commitment to protect Howe Sound. The end goal is a plan for land and marine environments guided by public and expert input.".
Our first visit was to Camp Firmcom (fircom.ca/) on Gambier Island. Check out the interview and photos! :)

The internet unravelled. Systems collapsed. Within days, the digital world vanished—no signals, no power, no fuel. Money, wages, pensions: gone. Transport ground to a halt. Yet, in the chaos, people endured. This series captures the resilience of those left to navigate a world stripped bare of technology

Well, a blizzard hit last night and dumped 8 inches of snow on my camper in the forest. My batteries were drained so no heat and light. Read all about it here: www.thediyworld.com/blog/?p=1152
It got down to 40 degrees during the night inside the camper. The snow covered my solar panels so there is not charging today. I swept them off, but they were immediately covered with snow within minutes.
If I do not get power, there will be no heat again tonight. My fireplace has a built in water boiler which needs to have a water pump running and a couple fans to blow the heat. So I had to shut it all down last night and tough it out.

We were after a large, open communal workspace. The kitchen had to go. The cabinetry was charming but ultimately not practical for an office environment. Luckily, we were able to find good homes for most of the cabinetry, shower stall, etc., courtesy of our friends at the Spartan Trailer Yahoo Group.

Here she is in Summer 2005 @ Armory NW. Note that there's no windows. Also note our ingenious "security" system on the '49M in the background. We began operating full-time out of these trailers in July 05 (without windows). We created these primitive wooden locking boards to to seal up every window opening, each night, for security. Yep, we're pretty hardcore.

A nice way to spend a Friday evening. Lobsta Truck, a Sisig taco, and half a Creme Brûlée from the eponymous cart. Followed this up with a nice night ride home through the Presidio.
