This is a free workshop & community building tool that will help you learn to work with others to help each other build an underground shelter as you form a community based on mutual and global survival.
There will be a registry to help you connect with others in your area. Also a brief intro in forming a survival group/community (SGC) along with info papers for yourself and your group that will help you successfully organize, engage in and create a sustainable SCG.
The SID Project will also have Free Survival Workshops: basic and advance survival skills, which include learning how to build shelters indigenously, making primitive tools, finding foods and herbal medicines, healing sweat hut rites, woods first aid, building fires.

It is currently a project of the Tree of Life Collective.
Meaning of the word “SID”
S = Subterranean: Underground & in this case invisible from above ground.
I = Indigenous: It is made of free or cheap materials you find around you.
D = Domicile: These structures are livable shelters designed to survive almost any man-made or natural disaster.
You can also free of charge download the basic design here:

It has everything you need to know how to build one, except it is missing the ventilation system. It was left out by accident because the paper was rushed after there was an attempt to stop this info from getting out. The next edition as well as a video being made will be complete...

Additional classes will also be dropped and the focus will be on the SID and community building.
In the daytime we will have hands on building workshops and learn the technology involved in making these SIDs and at night we will have a "pot luck teach in" on building survival groups/communities.
If you want to learn wilderness skills I can do that separately in July.
