What if I could design a set of playing cards that contained information about cheap and easy cooking, warming, cooling, and fire, stuff that is incredibly important and should be spread for awareness. Like the concept of a rocket stove, or other information that has evolved over time, that will not be available during a collapse due to lack of information. Basic survival tech, all the amazing innovations of the last 200 years, that could be lost otherwise.
Make it a pamphlet or something.
Toorcamp was in July, I'm writing this now.
With each Toorcamp my packing list gets better.
The NIGHTMRKT was a great idea. My "pop-up" selling random electronics and other goods was a success. I was advised of two things: don't give things away for free, and to have much better signage, potentially cutesy and pretty for people. Selling vodka tinctures was useless, many people didn't understand the concept, and two days in I was giving them away for free. Also, there's so much alcohol already available for free that no one was going to pay for some random drink. What did go well were the raspberry Pis and decaf teas. Caffeinated teas weren't popular because most people don't drink caffeine late. The population of Toorcamp is definitely aging, hackers are aging, there are more kids and earlier bedtimes.
Next time, have better signage, like a wooden sign with prices. Sell useful adaptation things and gadgets, like water filters or something. Consider leaning into perfumes. Use a regular propane tank and stove for tea due to better availability. I did make a lot less tea than expected. Definitely have more weed products available.
