For the past 30 years, Bert and Holly David have been cranking out DWELLING PORTABLY on a manual typewriter in their yurt. In this indispensible guide to living 'outside the box', written from 2000-2008, readers will find diagrams and notes on how to make tools, portable showers, find seasonal jobs and stay war at night while Winter camping. Hitchhiking suggestions are given by people who live in their car, in tents, yurts, tipis or nowhere at all.
Industry Reviews
"More great DIY dosage courtesy of Microcosm Publishing, who've helped compile a whopping thirty years worth of hand-typed, hard-won knowledge of life on the road originally published as "Message Post." How to hop a freight train, how to build a solar cooker, how to keep mobile chickens, and how to build a yurt are some of the back-to-basics, practical tips you'll find here, shared by the Davises as well as by their loyal readers (and fellow portable dwellers). Forget the cupboard of canned soup and those survivalist scare pamphlets--when the big upheaval hits, "Dwelling Portably" is the resource you'll want to have by your side." --"Lime"
"Lots and lots about things such as where in the wilds to put your poop in any given season, using a venom extractor to remove a tick, and how to recycle damaged plastic buckets with new uses. Also, if you're into camping (I mean into REAL camping, not living off of Ding Dongs stowed in the trunk) I'm sure that this would be a great mag." --"Razorcake"
"One of the finest publications we have ever come across. This is a guide by homeless folks for homeless folks. Holly and Bert Davis have been putting this collection of tips and anecdotes out for decades. Content ranges from cooking and bathing out of your car, to edible weeds, to improvised bicycle panniers, to musings on 12 volt microfiche readers and the practicalities of nudism." --"Home Grown Evolution"
