Dark Mountain Homesteaders
Dark Mountain Homesteaders is a place where we can gather and share real world skills, talents, stories and traditions of how to live on this Good Earth. While it is fine to contemplate our survival with poem and prose, let's also share what works to keep us fed, warm, and sheltered.

The Guild idea and some responses are here... http://uncivilisation.ning.com/profiles/blogs/guild-of-the-midsummer-rose

Things got a little confused and off-track, so Dougie Strang has suggested we try and get more organised via email or something, awaiting further info on this. In the meantime here are some of the mountaineers you might like to befriend, many of whom are interested in the Guild proposal...
