“Aaron Fletcher has grazed his sheep and lived off the land as a traveling shepherd for 12 years. He calls it guerrilla grazing (a step above guerrilla gardening, he says) and he lets his sheep graze – with permission- public parks and side lots. Homeless by choice, he offers his services to small farms in exchange for food or a place to stay (though half his calories come from his sheeps’ milk). With a tiny metal cart home pulled by his sheep he has a bed, a refrigerator/evaporative cooler, a shower (he uses a pesticide sprayer to pump up the water pressure), power (solar panel), sun oven, a mailbox stove for heat, bicycle tire wheels and a corrugated plastic roof. Fletcher makes cheese and butter from his sheep milk and forages for seeds, fruits, vegetables and herbs. He’s created a map for foragers in his region. He makes some money with his scythe business – cutting noxious weeds for locals -, but he insists he’s not interested in making money and just hopes to serve as an example for other homeless interested in guerrilla grazing. https://www.youtube.com/user/123Homefree“ I’m not crazy about a few of these things [going to the bathroom through/under the cart?]…but I’ve been eyeballing solar stoves like that, for a while… …I’ve also used a clean [never before used] pesticide sprayer as a make shift shower…They do work…perhaps not amazingly…but it’s better than nothing. I don’t know how much I’d really trust some of the food he’s just keeping around like that. For a homeless guy, he’s got a fairly decent thing going on there. I presume he’s not in one of the states with more brutal winters. |
