Can somebody tell me more about this event? I might be able to go.
I'll be going to the MAPS (Mid-Atlantic Primitive Skills) Meet May 22-25 in Conowingo, MD to teach workshops. There is still room to register for this fun, workshop-packed reasonably priced event. They have great food, sweet people and lots of fun...

- Hey Jeff this is getting funny,
I'm not sure if you got my email from the other day...but in it it says that Dave Holiday sent me your way, then Robin from Earthknack gave me your contact info when I told her I'm from LI and I wouldn't be interning with her this year...
THEN I find you here when I'm looking through my only friend's friends! I just found this website like yesterday...
anyway, how are you?

Candi Huber said… - That's a great idea Jeff. I'll start a new discussion called "Trade Blanket". I'm glad you like the site. Once the Worcester Expo is over, I'm going to get the MPSSer's to be more active on here. I'm happy to see it growing and people sharing. That's awesome. Do you have any tutorials or videos? You're welcome to add them here and a link to your website if you have one!

- Jeff, Welcome to our group. I wanted to let you know that just missed you leaving the gathering. I had a bowl of super spicy habaneros for you but when I went to find you, you were gone. :( Sorry about that.
Hope you've had more of that strawberry rhubarb pie, I haven't perfected my version of it yet but Mark and I have perfected a mean wild berry rhubarb crisp. And By the way, I can't stop dreaming about black walnut syrup. I keep reminding Mark that we need to tap some trees this spring. I don't care how far we have to hike to do it. That was a lovely taste experience, I appreciate you sharing.
I hope you share some of your expertise with us. Please post links to your books so we can find them.
