On the 18th episode of the Root Simple Podcast I talk to Wendy Tremayne and Mikey Sklar of the blog Holy Scrap Hot Springs. Wendy is the author of the book The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living. Wendy and Mikey are the ultimate “makers” and it was great to finally get a chance to talk to them and talk about their experiences in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. During the podcast we discuss:
- Mikey’s Battery Charger Kit
- Wendy’s wildcrafting
- Their adventures in biodiesel production
- 6x6x10 Remesh as a framework for shade cloth over vegetables
- What failure teaches
- Wild desert foods
- How they juice prickly pear fruit
- “Mad skills”
- Mikey’s temperature controller for fermentation and sous-vide
