This week we're talking seed starting because presently it's Fall, though the tips are seasonless. In the organic garden, seed starting takes some finesse. Moisture is key, as are soil and protection once the seeds sprout. Bailey talks you through her top tips, as well as provides a free resource with her Seed Starting Guide.

Today we have an episode that is going to get you ready to go take a walk, breathe in some fresh air, and experience mother nature. We wanted to come together for this episode just ahead of the start of June because June is Great Outdoors Month.

We also have a fun challenge that has a prize attached to it from our friends over at Eartheasy so you are going to want to stay tuned to the rest of the episode to learn all about that. In this episode we chat about: Our love of the outdoors and how "going tiny" spawned more of that lifestyle. How the pandemic encouraged more outside time. “Shinrin-yoku” aka forest bathing. Being more mindful while outdoors, less technology. How beneficial the outdoors can be, both physically and mentally.

Greg Seaman, the founder of EarthEasy.com, had the courage to live his values. He, his wife, and son moved to an island off the Pacific Northwest coast more than 30 years ago. They lived off-grid and raised a family in a home they built from recovered wood. The Seamans settled into a comfortably challenging existence living lightly on the Earth. In 2000, he launched EarthEasy.com to share his experience and offer island-tested sustainable products. Building his own community, both on the island and in business, Greg created an income for a dozen people. He talks with Mitch Ratcliffe of Earth911 about the transition to off-grid living, how rural practices can enliven and make cities sustainable, and the problem of educating people about the environment.

I’m much happier outdoors than I’ll ever be behind a desk. When I was asked if I’d be interested in reviewing the LifeStraw Go from Eartheasy, I instantly said yes. From the moment I first heard of the original LifeStraw I was intrigued. I’ve been backpacking and camping for years and know how important it is to filter your water. After my trip to Ghana in 2012, I had a new appreciation for the importance of clean drinking water when I traveled. My family bought me a LifeStraw for Christmas a few years ago and I carry it in my ruck whenever I’m out hiking as a backup to our standard water filter. The problem with the straw is I have to be at a water source to use it. It is great to stick in a cold mountain stream and suck water through, but later when I’m no where near water it isn’t helpful. The LifeStraw Go is a water bottle with a built in water filter. All the features of the original with the added value of being able to take the water with you. I first tried it out around the house. Thankfully it does not add any flavor to the water and it is easy to suck the water through the filter. It went with us on a family ruck  and performed great. Putting water into it and drinking it didn’t make me sick so I’m taking that as a good sign the filters work. The water bottle is slim at only 9.25” (235 mm) long and 3.14” (80 mm) in diameter so it fits into almost any outside pocket you might have on your bag. Holding 22oz is plenty since you can refill it from any water source you find. One small addition I’d like them to add is a fill line on the bottle so that you remember not to fill it up past that and splash water all over yourself when you stick the filter back in. The LifeStraw Go comes with an attached carabiner that is useful to clip onto your pack so you don’t lose the water bottle if you are going through rough terrain or suffer a fall. All in all, I was impressed with the product and know that I’ll bring it on my global adventures in the future and use it with confidence. Also, I’m a fan of the companies practice of donating water to children in need for every product purchased. Follow the liters here to learn more. Glad I got to try this out and I know it’ll get plenty of use this summer when I hit the trails. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a LifeStraw Go for free from Eartheasy as coordinated by Outdoor PR in consideration for review publication.
