Dwelling Portably has been around since 1980, which proves it has something worthwhile to say. This is really an incredible publication written by the editor(s?) and letter contributions sent in by the people experiencing it. This is all about living out of the grid - camping, alternative housing, RV or campers, and many tips on self-sustaining. The people involved call it shared, mobile, improved, underground, hidden, and floating. This is not your average zine, writing staff, or dwellers. In this issue the contributors cover experienced camping in BC, how one couple chooses and prepares seasonal base-camps, a lengthy tip section on solar cooking, and harvesting wild herbs and plants. My favorite was the story of a man working as a carpenter and living underground on Nantucket Island. There was some major controversy once his home was found and it was an odd backlash.
D.P. has years worth of back issues and summaries if you need help deciding which ones you will get the most from. This is an important resource for anyone that camps or is/may live portably, but is also a very informative read for anyone that may not be able to commit to it yet is still interested in learning more about this alternative lifestyle. This is the definitive guide and everyone should be inspired by it.
I cannot read the name. Is it Bert?
