Overview

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.
