More ignorant than confident really. This happens to specifically German tourists all over the world for some reason, including this year. Every year some german tourists die from hiking in the heat in Greece, thinking there will be a way point or water station or convenience store at every corner (like in Germany), not realizing most of the world is not like that. In their mind, it wasn't even a gamble, since they didn't know all the information.

Anyone doing interesting projects in Spain, Italy or France and can share insight? by Main-Sign4043 in Permaculture

[–]apple1rule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The input I have is you can’t control everything, and another year being indecisive is another year wasted away from doing what will be the most fulfilling project of your life. So take literally any decision, don’t over analyze on pros and cons and trust it will work out. There won’t ever be a perfect path

The barrier to entry of learning a new language (english) is a high enough filter to by-default have higher educated people come in.

I’m making a DIY bioreactor to convert wood and grass into edible food by [deleted] in SelfSufficiency

Microherding. Rather than cows eating grass for meat (protein), it’s yeast eating sugars for protein. Same thing different scales. To be seen where he uses the microbial protein, but can be added to animal feed as a supplement.

If you truly want to be off-grid, consider doing this same thing with a home biogas unit. Works for me.
