This past weekend I attended the MREA Energy Fair in Custer, WI. It was awesome! The workshops offered were so great, it was hard to pick which to attend at any given time. Check it out here:

My favorite workshop was titled "Ultimate Downsizing"... here's the little printed blurb, "Hear the stories of several Wisconsin folks who choose to live in tents, hunting shacks, camper trailers, and experimental shelters whether for a month, a season, or several years. Why they do it and practical advice to inspire your own minimal shelter." The workshop featured Amber Westerman from
