Beautiful, inspiring digital pics, Moth! That eco-village looks fantastic!
How has the weather been since you've been there? Have you had to brave any harsh storms?
What has been the best thing about your journey, so far?
And, what has been the hardest obstacle or struggle... if any?



Yes, I have been in some monsoon rains, multiple times, and a squall by the sea.  Sometimes my hammock tarp can't handle it and my sleeping bag gets soaking wet.  When this happens, I wake up, try to find a way to get dry/warm, and just have faith in impermanance. 

When I'm at the eco-village the rain is pretty much a non-issue.  But camping is more difficult when it pours.  Waipi'o is a very wet place so I had my most challenging moments so far in that valley.  I surrendered to being wet and cold for three days. 

The most important thing is to keep a positive attitude no matter what. 

The best thing about my journey are the inspiring people I meet and the amazingly beautiful plants I come across.  Being near the ocean all the time.  The great fruit.  Really there are too many awesome things to list...I love it here and enjoy this lifestyle.

could anyone join the commune?


You have to be a cool person, kind and cooperative.


if you have communications then, i assume you can get power and i hope you brought some nice music for your solitude, MOTH.

and good luck.

There isn't any internet in the ecovillage...I have to hitchhike to Pahoa to get internet access. 

And net access isn't possible in Waipio.  Honokaa is the nearest town up there and internet is hard to come by there too. 

I'm in Hilo for a few days however and wifi is plentiful.  It's so weird being in the city after being out in nature so long.  I can't wait to retreat back into the woods.

It seems way more freeing then my mundane life. What she is doing sounds like a dream to me...I think it would be amazing, but I know I'd never have the balls to do it.

Beats and waves will take me to my grave and when I go there I know that I won't be alone 'cause I've been spotted, blotted, many many times before.

I found it very freeing to live in the ecovillage for a bit...I could come and go as I pleased as long as I put in my 4 hours of work for the week. 

I also liked the cooperative nature of it...

But I really like adventuring and exploring more so that's why I left.  Communes are safe havens. 

Though I can always go back for a night if I feel like it and need a place to crash.  That's pretty cool. 

I like being more minimal though

there are 10,000 types of bondage.  Freedom is being able to say:  this is the one i want!

nothing comes free.

you've heard that saying before, i am sure.

it does sound more... fun to me, though.

sorry to mince words but... i mean, living like Moth is isn't exactly "easier" by any means... but i see what one is saying, in terms of wanting a less mundane indifference.

but hey... familiarity breeds contempt. :laugh:
can't say what freedom really is... unless it's on your own terms.

i hope moth is free... i'd love that.

go moth. go.

sounds like a sweet deal... 4 hours of work and a place to stay? nice.

Freedom could be seen in many different ways.
She's not tied down to the commune. She's roaming around in the wild yonder wherever her heart desires.
Also, she's free from the shackles of the everyday. She is no longer a wage slave.

a good point of view. but the shakles of everyday? i don't know if i agree with ya there. she is no longer "a wage slave" which is excellent. but that doesn't even account for... the shakles.

All the kids I see around here are so super-intelligent and self-aware it's almost scary.  Way more wild then the average youngster, especially Waipi'o valley kids. 

I also want to point out that this lifestyle is not all glamorous.  It's my preferred way to live right now so of course I will communicate all the positive experiences I have had.  But it can be draining in some ways.  Physically it's very demanding to be outside all the time in all weather conditions, hiking with a heavy backpack across rivers and up mountains, protecting your food and drugs from hungry sober hippies who will take all you can give, and can be emotionally isolating to never put down roots. 

I really like it though right now.  Whatever "it" is, it's working for me now to live like a feather in the wind.
