Gaining Experiential Capital

Look at the color patern on this log, it reminds me of a wild horse!

We had a CRAZY weekend, moving from Brooklyn to No Man's Land Extravaganza...

Because we live life a little on the cheap side, we didn't want to have a rental truck for too many days. So we hustled hard!!!

We packed our house, loaded the truck with only the help of a couple friends (here and there through the day), four flights of stairs.

Now the Real fun can begin!

For my wife (me too, a little) it's about having a new space to decorate and unpack into!

For our little human, it's about RE-WILDING... or maybe it's about continuing to be wild in order not to lose it, you know, through Human Domestication!

For me, well, it's about finally being out here in the woods and learning a whole new set of skills. Though I have one more week of work before coming back to No Man's Land full time, I am happy as can be (rain or shine...and we've had a RAINY weekend).

In a previous post about preparing for our move Off-Grid, I mentioned something about The 8 Forms of Capital. This weekend, I stocked up on EXPERIENTIAL CAPITAL! I had my share of choping wood. I'm not affraid to say I don't have all that much experience with the axe! There hasn't been too many times where chopping wood was necessary in Brooklyn! If we didn't break palettes apart for a small illegal bonfire, we'de just buy fire wood.

I can still count my hours of chopping wood on one hand!

That was just the beginning....

The fire we never lit! During a short stunt without rain, I kept chopping.

But as time goes on, like they say: practice makes perfect! And next I'll have to learn how to stack fire wood properly...

The previous owners left me nice little stacks (sometimes piles!) of logs from having cut down some trees, half a decade ago... Now we have to collect it all to save what's left of them. We have enough wood for years. They turned Natural Capital into Material Capital for us to use, thanks!

Here's another fire (our DiY BBQ) that wouldn't start. Figured it was because they were moist to the core from being uncovered for so mamy years

Well there it is, we made it to our future Homestead. Even though we're doing one more week in the big city, to clean up the apartment and work a little more, we are happy as can be!

Proof-of-me

The pages turn... It's a new chapter in our book!!!
