The TWO of you have been beacons for me personally. Barry cuz you hail from the same 401 hwy I grew up near and show us everyday blokes what anyone is capable of if they just share their passion and fire because I live in India and would love to share your work with others and try to learn from your example. I manage @ecoknowme but this is my personal account. Random for the Two of you: Eucommia Bark.... it's a chinese herb used for healing injuries. I can look up where you could get it each (Canada vs India) But you don't need to read it, but I wrote this regarding the creation of a network of gardeners to help provide plant medicines for the community here: https://steemit.com/gardening/@ecoknowme/steemit-community-do-you-garden-help-the-ecoknowme-help-you-help-others-while-growing-your-own-medicine-business
Then my buddy @stortebeker wrote this gem that got my gears turning: https://steemit.com/challenge/@stortebeker/homesteaders-steem-around-the-world-challenge-preparation-2

Anyway if either or any of you would like to start expanding the potential on here into the offline.... I could (for example) send you some coffee from the Hills here and we could start a pay-it-forward wave of generosity to ripple out from Steemit. Just a few ideas I'd share since both of you share so many that helped me since starting on here.
Thank you both for who you are and what you do! And a special congrats to YOU @firepower ! The Maharaj of Steemit! Cheers @wuji
