If you want a resilient heating source and avoid hyperdependence on the fragile grid for your home to be livable, you need a wood stove. Period.


Want to Learn How to Optimize Your Wood Heating System with Expert Guidance?

Join us once again for a detailed and conversational workshop on mastering wood heating systems. In this year's session, building on the insights of the highly regarded 2022 Wood Heat Intensive, Ben brings his latest developments in wood heating technology to the forefront.


This workshop showcases Ben's 4th generation wood heating system, providing an integrated and complete home heating solution meeting cooking, baking, and most crucially – hot water needs.

Get an up-close look at this resilient setup and learn how to apply these advancements to your own system.

Ben brings over two decades of experience and learning from his own journey into resilient land-based living. He has designed, developed, and lived with a dozen different iterations of these systems, including those with water heating applications and supplemental/backup solar DHW, propane, and oil. He has spent about $20,000 researching and testing these systems through 25 years of wood-powered living. 

This workshop is for those wanting to take advantage of this experience so that they can avoid making their own mistakes and achieve an optimal system early on in their journey or improve the one they’ve been using.

A note from Ben

Hello friends - The path toward a functional land-based lifestyle is not a quick one. And it’s not without countless small (and large) mistakes made along the way. 


We’ve made many of these ourselves in the 20+ years of our journey. Our online workshops leverage the decades of experience that Erica and I (along with the team we have cultivated) have accrued. The learning experiences below are led by myself or a member of my team with at least a decade or two of hands on daily experience in the subject matter.


With the recent and growing popularity of a more hands-on lifestyle, I have noticed that many of the programs in this space are led by people new to the lifestyle themselves but savvy with internet marketing.  I encourage you to vet your instructors carefully and if in doubt, save your money and try to assist a local old-timer who has done the work for a lifetime.


I welcome any questions you may have in vetting us as a source of guidance and sound information; do not hesitate to contact me.

In a few months, your home could be warmer and more resilient...
