Still listening to this but so far it is resonating with me a lot. In 2016 I spent 3 months touring Australia and I spent most of it in areas where there very few people such as the outback and the Kimberley. I had a 4x4 with a tent on the roof and to be able to wake up with the light and literally climb down from my roof top tent into the wild and the peace and quiet was an absolute revelation. The environment was incredible and your idea of being in a low friction living space is brilliant. when i have finished the podcast I will comment again. Keep up the work you guys as it is very inspirational.
Sounds lovely! I've had some experiences like this as well, while traveling. Made me think: why can't I always live like this?
Well I said I would comment further after I finished your podcast. You have got me thinking and actually physically moving which is excellent. Yes your plans resonate a lot with me. Love the idea of low friction and changing one's enviroment to suit that purpose. Plus the idea of an 8 week course at Ikario HQ and under no pressure to do anything is very appealing indeed. Now to listen to the others.....
Happy to see that this was an inspiring episode for you, Chris. :)
One of the most exciting things I heard from you guys! In other words, you guys are building your own Whole Food Island! I'd really want to be part of this.
Yes, exactly! Whole Food Island doesn't exist, so we're gonna build it! :)

Thank you!
I've come across earthships in my research on green living. Looks like a really cool concept! I definitely want to build something that is economical as well as ecological. Crazy how wasteful our typical way of building and living is, really...
