UPDATE!! (HD) HAND DRILL WORKSHOP - SUNDAY 06/21/2026

Raquel (my wife) & I used to work alongside Patrick Kenyon in the old Tracker Office Trailer on the old Tracker Farm in Asbury, NJ from about 1997-2005...

Anyway, Patrick just messaged me that he has a place in GILBERT, PA and he has a field of large MULLEIN (Verbascum Thapsus) that he has to mow down and asked if I would want to try to harvest them before he mows. I said YES! I asked if Sunday was OK and he said Yes.

So, we're doing a field trip driving out to Gilbert, PA. Harvesting MULLEIN and seeing if there is anything else of educational importance for PhyreKeeping and then we will do lunch somewhere and then we will drive back stopping many, many times along the way when I spot (HD) Hand Drill plants for us to look at.

So, we'll leave 10AM SHARP because its about a 45 min drive out to Gilbert, PA from my house.

We may not have time for actual practice by the time we get back, but the experience of seeing up close and personal a majority of (HD) Hand Drill plants out in the wild all at one time is definitely worth it.

Simply said, - No Materials, No PhyreKeeping...
