What's up guys! My name is Hugh Carnahan, and my background was industrial manufacturing. There's a whole science of doing as much as you can with the least amount of work or no work with as few resources as possible. During the covid days I had a 6 weeks headstart over the US as our plant in Shanghai was shutdown. I knew something bad was coming so started ordering seeds from online, and manually downloading all the videos for how to produce food. Cut down the decretive trees to make space for a garden. (Looking back that wasn't great but I only knew of Annuals at the time). I started applying the science of process to gardening and ran SMACK into Permaculture. I couldn't believe this existed, and no one was really paying attention. Since then, i've been hooked. I now function as a small crappy homestead near town, Chickens, Perenial Tree crops, planting in Guilds, Bees, Meat Rabbits etc. I tout myself as the Worst Homestead on Youtube. I also worked with Mark Shepperd to look at a RAD instillation on our property. And I've just leased our land to a rotational grazer who will move Cattle, Sheep, and Pigs through our property. We're also going to experiment with letting the Pigs clear all our underbrush, then open up the canopy to do Silvopasture by removal and let 30% light hit the floor and graze animals through there. Should be fun! I'm sure like most of you, I have no idea what i'm doing and am making it up as I go along. Excited to be in the group!

I converted this old chicken tractor to rabbit tractor by adding a floor. Seems okay, but if we ever need to get at the rabbits or kits it's always a pain cuz there's not out of a space for a human to get in there. So we're using sticks and other people to try to chase them out. What are your most successful ones?
