We're looking for a large truck bed water tank for potable water, if anyone knows where we could borrow/rent/buy one.
Also, we're seeking high-capacity water filters, like the kind backcountry outfitters use.
Beyond that, please come with as much water and purification/filtration capacity as you're able!

Along with Colorado Street Medics (https://streetmedic.wordpress.com/), we have received and accepted an offer for medic support from the New Mexico Street Medics Collective (http://newmexicostreetmedics.blogspot.com).
As always, we're asking attendees (if you're able) to bring medical kits and supplies to donate to the medic tent. And of course, at the daily orientation circle we will review medical infrastructure and identify active medic team folx. Those with medical training are encouraged to step up, state their level of certification/training and availability, and join the medic team.
Thanks!

We're excited to announce that Colorado Street Medics will be facilitating a two-day Basic Street Medic Training this year at Wild Roots Feral Futures. The training will take place June 17th & 18th.
Who & What are Street Medics?
You’re among thousands at an antiwar demonstration when police start using pepper spray and firing tear-gas grenades. You’re choking and blinded. People around you are shouting and panicking. Ordinary fire and rescue services are standing idle–they are instructed never to enter areas until police declare them secured, and to tear-gas a crowd is to define it as insecure.
Who will help? The Street Medics. A band of volunteers with varying levels of medical credential but all specially trained in the treatment of the injuries most common at demonstrations. Street Medics walk purposefully alongside frightened crowds, urging them to “walk!”. They move in buddy pairs, carrying medical supplies and wearing eclectic uniforms–a fishing vest with MEDIC and a star of life emblazoned on the back or a jacket with a Red Cross made of duct tape.
Street Medics aren’t just at protests. We travel wherever we can to offer medical care. Be it an anti-war demonstration, a natural disaster or a war zone, the Street Medics will travel to help those in need.
Colorado Street Medics are one of the original street medic collectives organized to assert that healthcare is a human right. We band together as medical providers ranging from herbalists and paramedics to doctors and acupuncturists. We believe in participating in solidarity, not charity. We participate in events as community members, not saviors or heroes. We work to deconstruct oppression in ourselves and our communities as well as supporting social movements that work to do the same.

For the 2012 gathering, A location I immediately thought of is the Alta Lakes area, which fits all of the considerations accept possibly the large trees, though I'll bet many are big enough.

What about teens/young adults? Say 15-25 Activities or discussions specifically targeted tward them would greatly help, as I would expect many people of this age group to be attending. Many may want to participate in the general activities, but I'm saying some more targeted discussions would be useful.

If anyone could manage to bring out large jugs of water, or any jugs of water, and/or more filters, that would help out a lot! We also have access to a large water tank and just need a truck to transport it to the woods! We even have a well spigot we can fill it off of for free! Anyone?

We seem to have plenty of food but could always use more as our current supplies will dwindle! Basically anything is good. Thanks!
We're trying actually to do three communal meals a day or at least making food as folks express the need/desire to eat. But folks can always jump in there and cook something up if no one else is!

I help prep & cook for Portland, OR FNB. I was planning on helping out in the kitchen. What does the food situation look like? Is there enough food for 1 serving a day, more/less? Any bulk food people could bring to donate you'd recommend?  |

Here are places folks (anyone!) can hit up at any time and ask for donations for the communal Wild Roots Feral Futures kitchen being organized by Durango Food Not Bombs (to whom they regularly donate):
• Warren at Manna Soup Kitchen
• Bread (the actual name of the bakery)
• Homeslice Pizza
• Durango Farmers' Market (Saturdays in the First National Bank main branch parking lot between Main & Camino Del Rio on 8th St.)

If anyone wants to get on this too, it would be great:
"Water barrels" you can get cheap at Coca-Cola (phone book!). Their syrup comes in 33 gal. barrels and they sell them off cheap.
We have a great fresh water well on CR 234 and we could use it all we want. It would be a bit closer for us than Dgo if we need to keep filling up.
