Green University™ Campus: Silver Star, Montana

Green University™ Campus

Green University™ evolved out of Hollowtop Outdoor Primitive School, LLC. Our other businesses HOPS Press, LLC and Granny's Country Store are other enterprises that were originally formed as part of Hollowtop, but eventually split off to become separate entities.

      The Green University™ "campus" started out as an 18' tipi and a 1970 Blair mobile home next door to Granny's Country Store in the metropolis of Silver Star, Montana, population 60. In 2005 we tore apart and recycled the mobile home, and broke ground on a new passive solar stone house that, while still under construction, now serves as student housing and classroom space for Green University™.

      Campus is a bit lacking in accommodations since we are still finishing the building, but it is functionally livable. At least it has a roof on it now, which is more than we had when previous interns stayed with us!

      Silver Star is also awesome location for experiencing the great outdoors. Our campus is right next to the Jefferson River (part of the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail) in southwest Montana where we are surrounded by range after range of beautiful mountains and hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands to go exploring and camping--which is one thing we like to do a lot of!

Tom,

I have read some of your book, Primitive Living, Self-Sufficiency, and Survival Skills. As I started it, I felt angry because it conflicted with some of my beliefs and values. After a bit of digestion, talk, and thought I became grateful. Your views helped expand my perspective and enhance my understanding of life.
You seem to be developing most of your beliefs outside of labels, i.e. environmentalist, conservative, liberal. I feel excited because I want there to be more understanding and peace. I think that comes from people connecting with themselves and coming to their own understanding, instead of having beliefs aligned with a certain label. My views are constantly changing and your views have already helped me understand more. Thank You.
