How to have world-wide mobility in a self-sufficient habitat,
By Jeremy Marshall (budbaybk@turbotek.net (Olympia, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sailing the Farm: A Survival Guide to Homesteading on the Ocean (Paperback)
Back in the 1970's with the new homesteading and back-to-the-land movement, there was a small and brief interest in "seasteading", a maritime equivalent. This book, along with The Solar Boat Book, is the best how-to book addressing this issue. Read it along with Annie Hill's Voyaging on a Small Income. Neumeyer discusses topics I've not seen elsewhere, such as food production at sea, trade goods, diet for maximum nutrition WITH minimum weight and space, weapons, etc. Right now there is a colony of sailors that live by this book intentionally adrift in the Sargasso.

Ingenius Lo-Tech Ideas to Achieving Self-Sufficientcy,
By "eriktheread" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sailing the Farm: A Survival Guide to Homesteading on the Ocean (Paperback)
What I especially liked about this book was the ingenius ideas the author came up with, ie, a simple solar still to convert salt water to fresh using just the sun's energy. He even has plans for a portable still that can be rolled up when not in use. A couple of my seakayaking friends are using them as a backup for freshwater needs. He also has a great plan for setting up a mini-greenhouse up in the bow of the sailboat to ensure a supply of fresh vegetables. Also ideas to use the time at sea to make in-demand items to sell whenever or if you pull into a port. All ideas can be folded down for portability and easy storage. Could work well in a hot, dry land environment as well as on the water.

A good but incomplete book.,
This review is from: Sailing the Farm: A Survival Guide to Homesteading on the Ocean (Paperback)
An interesting book, but one wonders after reading if any of this every happened. It's mostly just a collection of recipes. A better and more complete vision is in "Sea-steading" by Jerome FitzGerald.
I'd recommend both!
