The old ways are the best ways indeed. Homesteading is becoming very popular because more and more people are realizing this. RIP to this great man. The world needs more people like him.
He's a man to look up to indeed. He had so much spirit and personality, and was able to move really well at his age. He's gone now, and I won't go into the woods for him. That was his life. I'll go into the woods for me.
Look into the real story behind this. Burt was an old 'back to the land' movement hippie that never wanted a company or wealth. But the young ambitious hitchiker he struck up a relatinship back in the early 80's wanted it all. She basically took his likeness and core product hostage (small farm produced beeswax), ran with it, turned it into something he never intended, then forced him out of the company over "personal reasons" and eventaually sold it all to Clorox and shafted Burt out of millions. He was forced under contract to endorse the products much to his disdain in his later years. If you think these products today on the shelves of big box stores, now owned by a megabillion conglomerate chemical manufacturer are even remotely like they were originally intended (clean, natural, supporting local agriculture) you have been fooled.
He didn’t even benefit from that. His partner forced him to exit the company and then she did the acquisition and she made >$100 million whereas he didn’t make anywhere near that.

What an awesome man he was.

Rest in Peace Burt. You seemed like a fun guy. I wish I had the chance to meet you but I was to young.
RIP Burt! You were truly an inspiration to the world.
Let's hope the brand keeps his ideals in place!
You haven't watched the documentary...
so beautiful and touching....
I couldn't agree more
It's too bad things change to Clorox being the owner now. If it's a keeper leave it alone. And Burt's right land is everything.
This company is now owned by Clorox..........

Seems like the kind of guy who likely loved how his company was sold to Clorox /s
wasnt his, was his wife who sold who sued him out of the company because he fucked interns.
