Today I welcome advocate, teacher and speaker Jim Gale to The Alden Report. As an advocate for the decentralization of energy, money, education, medicine, food and water, Jim dreams of a world of abundance for all such pillar’s of society. Jim is a founder and Chief Story Teller for Food Forest Abundance which was established in 2020 as a way to help people grow their own food and has blossomed into a global movement to help people become more self-reliant. Since their official launch on Earth Day 2021, they have expanded throughout most of the United States and into 15 other countries. 

Join us this week as we discuss Jim's vision for his company and the possibility of saving the world by turning your yard into a food forest which is a diverse, perennial garden that mimics a forest ecosystem and patterns found in nature. Through layers of design, life extends in all directions producing food, medicine, sanctuary, and habitat.

Thank you very much to Jim Gale for joining us this week on The Alden Report.

So you like backcountry skiing and mountaineering? If you are a beginner you may stick to known routes but if you do like getting off the heavily traveled areas and find your way through new pow in the backcountry, are you sure you can find your way out? What can you do to ensure you make it out safe without spending a cold and wet night huddled under the shelter of some branches? Do you rely on a compass, an app on your cell phone or try to rely on your memory to find your way ? What if you dropped your phone or the battery dies?  What is your next move? 

John Godino is the unofficial guru of navigation of the Pacific Northwest. He is a former US Forest Service wilderness ranger and wildland firefighter  with  a Masters degree in geosciences / cartography.  While  contributing to the new edition of Freedom of the Hills, he is  active in the sport of competitive orienteering and have been a  volunteer climb leader, navigation and mountaineering instructor at the Mazamas for the past 20 years. He is here to tell you what you can do to ensure you never find yourself in a pickle.
