Wow, that video had me riveted – so many low-tech, high-ingenuity solutions I would have never thought possible! Thanks for posting – this was truly inspiring. Obviously not a lifestyle that would work for everyone – I can’t imagine one would be able to raise a family this way. But what an empowering alternative to handouts and public shelters for the homeless! If setups like this were made available to those without the means to make the initial investment, I imagine it would appeal to a lot of people, even if only as a transitional phase on their way to something more desirable.

People like Aaron Fletcher give me hope that humans will find a way to cope with the inevitable collapse of industrialized growth- and consumption-oriented civilization. I think it will be creative and innovative people like him, developing new systems for alternative ways of living with the land, that will help us reinvent society – not top-down one-size-fits-all mandates from technocradic elites in Davos.
