The target date for beginning is October 1st, 2007
To prepare I have:
- Learned to use only 2 gallons of water for bathing.
- Heated my bath and laundry water in pots on the stove (the electric stove for now)
- Washed all my laundry outdoors using a washtub and scrub board, the dried it all on a clothesline.
- Use only candles at night for preparing for bed and reading before sleep.
- Purchased equipment such as: flat irons for ironing clothes and a grill rack for cooking over an open fire
- Gathered all equipment that I already had and cleaned and prepared it for use.
- Began constructing my outdoor bath area
- Level area for tent.
I plan to use some borrowed outdoor canopy-type structures and some mosquito netting to fix up an area for food preparation, eating and relaxing.
I also need to improve my fire pit area.
