Dwelling portably
One enterprising couple has been living in the mountains of Oregon by choice, in temporary shelters, for years without being detected or run out of their habitat. They have been editing a newsletter for almost 30 years about their experiences. Pay $20 for the back issues, if for no other reason than to set your fears free.
These people have not only survived, they have thrived. And they have shared the secrets of how to set up a shelter that is not disturbed by hunters, or wardens, or anybody else, on public lands. They take simple ideas, like solar ovens, and tweak it until it works for them. They share exactly how to make the most efficient rocket stoves with simple materials on hand, or build a heater in the earth, and angle the smoke so that it will not be easily detected.
They share specifics of a food storage program under the most daunting of conditions. They'll make you think about basics with down-to-earth clarity that will convince you that it can be done. On the smallest of budgets. With specifics.
Most of us would not choose to live such simple lives, unless it became a matter of survival. Bert and Holly's Newsletter is part of my survival gear.
Dwelling Portably, POB 190, Philomath, OR 97370 $20 cash for (30??) back issues plus I'd send $5. for postage. They don't ask for it, but everything else has gone up, so I'd include it as a donation.
