The Lighting Ceremony at Burning Man 2013.
September 22, 2013 By
Lighting ceremony at Burning Man 2013 Some people live a beautifully integrated life, they’ve always known what they wanted and the path was known. I have always known I love epic experiences so I have been all over the map for decades. Skills and knowledge I have acquired have more times than not been relegated to different corners of my life, with no integration. Learned skills and passions that lay dormant for too long take more time to stoke up into a roaring fire. Life is often a … [Read more...]

To see all that enthusiasm makes me want to get them up on stilts right now(!) so they can feel the thrill themselves. Our mission here is just that, to spread the accessibility of stilting to all who are interested. From the first time I saw stilters and was so thrilled by them but I had no outlet, it remained a mystery to me for another several years until I finally met a great … [Read more...]
How to make your own wood stilts
February 5, 2013 By
The video will show you how to construct a pair of wooden peg stilts. Our minimum requirement is a safe pair of stilts. Our maximum desire is to have a high level of joy! The skill level necessary is comparable to installing a new door lock. It might be helpful if I explain my approach. Ideally you are using a good grade of wood and not looking to save money here because you are going to rely on these stilts to carry your weight safely. I weigh 165 and find that these stilts held up well … [Read more...]

We video our outings and outings of other troupes. Not only is this great entertainment value but this is … [Read more...]
