I thought that maybe before posting about my experiences here at Paul Wheaton’s place I should post a bit about who Paul is, so here it is.

For those of you who don’t know Paul Wheaton, he is an iconic figure in the world of permaculture. He has done so many things to help advance, teach, and spread the word of permaculture to the masses.

He’s probably best known for permies.com, likely the world’s most informative place on the internet for anything you need to know regarding permaculture, homesteading, wild crafting, animal husbandry, gardening, and a whole bunch more. In a time when most forums have died, permies is still going strong, with hundreds, if not thousands of active users.

Pro tip: If you want to find the best info about the topics above, go to google and type site:permies “search term here”
Example: site:permies.com high desert

Paul, along with Ernie and Erica Wisner and others, are also known for their work with rocket mass heaters (RMH) RMHs are an innovate type of wood burning stove that when properly constructed and operated, can heat a home using 10% of the wood that a conventional stove uses with virtually no air pollution.

Building off the work of Mike Oehler Paul has designed and built several in ground homes that he calls Woodland Oehler Freaky-Cheap Annualized Therman Inertia structures or WOFATI for short. This is another amazing and innovative design that pictures can not do justice. Read all about WOFATIs here

Paul is responsible for popularizing Sepp Holzer’s hugelkultur. Hugelkulturs are a type of wood filled raised garden mound that when built properly can greatly reduce the amount of irrigation needed to grow plants. Read all about hugelkulturs here.

In addition to the research and development of natural systems Paul has also been developing an intentional community of like minded individuals to help realize his dream of a permaculture paradise outside of Missoula Montana. Paul has made great progress in creating a mutually beneficial community on his properties through his various residency programs.

If you’re not sure if you have any of the qualities above then ask a good friend to be brutally honest with you. If you don’t have a good friend then chances are that you need to do some work on yourself.

I think that was a decent introduction to who Paul Wheaton is. He is a man who is bonkers about permaculture. He is a human and has flaws like the rest of us. He is not a super hero but he has done more super hero things than most of us have.

In conclusion I would highly recommend that you click on all the links above and immerse yourself into this world of permaculture, learn as much as you can and help us make the world a better place.
