Free online seminars this week. There are a few sessions that are about homesteading and self-sufficiency with speakers like Paul Wheaton and Marjory Wildcraft.

There are a few courses there I'd be interested in, but the glossy marketing, "Cosmo style" intro to the courses is very offputting. Not someplace I'd want to register with, spam4life.

Let me know what you think after going thru a few courses.

Not sure if these links work...

Day 2 has talks on biodiesel, urban foraging, and food preservation.

----------

Day 1 was ok. Tess Pennington's talk was the most useful. Wheaton's was his usual talk, so good if you've never heard him but not much new. Wildcraft's was ok if you're looking to move and have more of a prepper mindset.

They are running this again starting March 7th ... http://www.homegrownfoodsummit.com/

This year's summit focuses on growing food and related topics like bee keeping.
