Someone asked me what I meant by 'traveling ecovillage'.

Ecovillage - a community whose inhabitants seek to live according to ecological principles, causing as little impact on the environment as possible.

Intentional Community - An intentional community is a planned residential community designed from the start to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork. The members of an intentional community typically hold a common social, political, religious, or spiritual vision and often follow an alternative lifestyle.

Think of the Basecamp as a traveling Bed & Breakfast on a circuit between Renaissance Fairs, craft shows and other geekish events. Or a gypsy caravan or a bunch of over educated burned out potheads trying to make a living out of our own creativity. Whichever works best for you. 

It's pretty simple; high tech nomads. Solar power, composting toilets, solar hot water showers. I might personally experiment with a mobile garden with some potato, carrot and onion tubs. I like raising chickens and they are one of the most efficient and easiest to travel with stock animals so I might add a mobile chicken pen and a dozen layers. 

By the beginning of 2017 I plan to have phone, vehicle insurance, satellite and a few other fixed basics paid for the year. I can provide the basic amenities; water, power, satellite, limited internet access (possibly), sanitation, etc. I have a small (but growing) income from my books and online semi businesses that I can also allocate to expenses.

My current plan is a 3/4 ton pickup with a cargo trailer which houses my solar panels and golf cart batteries and a few other things. I'll be putting a board up on Pinterest with specifics.

I plan to have communal meals Rainbow style and there will probably be a $50 per week (or so) grocery/maintenance fee for community members + a small override from show sales. Temporary members or guests might have a slightly different fee structure. Specifics like that will probably be worked out among members as we form the group.

What *I* want out of this in particular; interesting people to travel with, help with my booth at fairs and events, help with camp maintenance, etc.

I'll put up some more links and ideas soon. I invite comments and discussions. I like brainstorming.
