Paul is with Bo, Fred, Dez and Steven doing a fundraiser for BEL (Bootcamp Experience Log), a rolling fund which pays out to boots who make 100 posts in their BEL thread, while also discussing the new GAMCOD programme and a new big prize for a new boot that shows up and sticks around.

Paul and Katie continue to talk about Hawaii and how it’s different from Montana, such as the year-round growing season, (although there are ways to extend it if need be) and potential for massive 10″ rainfall in a night. And the lack of parasites in Montana. That’s a big plus.
