About the Book

Full of information about living without a permanent residence, this complete collection contains helpful and informative tips for living far outside of cities and bereft of technology. All of the tips and advice have been edited down to what remains relevant in a technologically changing world, and it is crammed full of informative tips for biking, tents, showering, cooking, and living. Whether camping on the edges, living simply, or getting by on the road and loving it, this book is for modern nomads choosing alternative lifestyles to working 9-5 in the same place.

About the Author :
Bert Davis and Holly Davis have been nomads for more than 30 years. They edit the monthly journal, "Dwelling Portably." They live in the vicinity of Philomath, Oregon.

Review :
"[...] 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 . . . 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" "From an overly simplistic view, this book is mostly a guide to living off the grid. If you expand from there, you see that the tips being given in this book can be used from anyone from the hardcore survivalist to the urban apartment dweller looking to live a little more cheaply and simply." --Maximumrocknroll "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" "This is a dense compendium of information you can use to go camping safely and simply, to augment your home with natural, eco-friendly strategies and devices, and/or make yourself more self-sufficient in sometimes surprising ways. Want to live in a tent? Here's how. What about a van? Okay, here's how to rig electricity for your van safely, and how to care for the engine to boot. [...] If you want to simplify your life, get this book. It is amazing." --Clint Johns, "Zine World"
