And if you flip through those things, I mean, that's exactly what it is. voice-verified

You can today YouTube, okay, I want to set up a composting toilet, or you can open up your whole earth catalog and look in the index composting toilets, how to set them up. voice-verified

And there's the page with, and it's also includes all the places you can buy one. voice-verified

Yeah, and I mean, it's just this marvelous coffee table almost size book that covers every dimension of moving on to life. voice-verified

the landscape and building a house and setting up a septic system and setting up solar panels and everything you can imagine, what sort of animals if you want to have animals, you know, how to try to restore nature. voice-verified

And it becomes this kind of guide for what is a rediscovery really of Powell's bioregional vision voice-verified

from 1890. voice-verified

And so for about three decades, really, and basically up until the time when the battle over wolf recovery sort of steps on everything else. voice-verified

But through the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s, when I was first at the University of Montana in the 1990s, bioregional speakers were showing up voice-verified

like two or three times a semester. voice-verified

I mean, I went to hear Gary Snyder speak in the Wilma Theater in about 1995, and it was an absolute overflow crowd of people, people standing in the aisles in the Wilma, upstairs and downstairs to hear Gary Snyder talk about bioregionalism and settling the land. voice-verified

And then in the early 20th century, it kind of dwindles away over new battles in the West. voice-verified

But as I point out in this episode, we now have 16 million people who are living the way you and I do. voice-verified

I mean, you live this way too. voice-verified

It's not off the grid, although I did that for a while. voice-verified

But in these rural places where you're down a dirt road and you have neighbors maybe in view and most of them actually are pretty far away. voice-verified

and you have a piece of land of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 acres, and you're deciding how to settle on it. voice-verified

And so the bioregional idea is to, as it's been resurrected, is to think of yourself in terms of being a native, not necessarily as I'm a native of Montana, I'm a native of Wyoming, but in your case, I'm a native of, voice-verified

the Paradise Valley and the Yellowstone River Corridor. voice-verified

And so what I talk about in the episode, obviously, is the three places where I've done that same thing. voice-verified
