Reviews
"More great DIY dosage courtesy of Microcosm Publishing, who've helped compile a whopping thirty years worth of hand-typed, hard-won knowledge of life on the road originally published as Message Post . 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, shared by the Davises as well as by their loyal readers (and fellow portable dwellers). 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, "More great DIY dosage courtesy of Microcosm Publishing, who've helped compile a whopping thirty years worth of hand-typed, hard-won knowledge of life on the road originally published as Message Post .

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. Need to know the law governing yurt usage in your area? Or how to lift a bicycle over a fence? Also includes lots of review of products like effective self-defense tools, food for camping, and the like. This is all capped with a very handy, helpful index (Faucet milk jug, p. 42). If you want to simplify your life, get this book. It is amazing. And for only $7, why wouldn't you get it?"  -Clint Johns, Zine World
Synopsis
Full of information about living without a permanent residence, this collection contains helpful and informative tips for biking, tents, showering, and cooking. These zines from 1990 to 1999 show how to live the lifestyle far outside of cities and bereft of technology., 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', readers will find diagrams and notes on how to make tools, portable showers, find seasonal jobs and stay warm at night while Winter camping. Hitchhiking suggestions are given by people who live in their car, in tents, yurts, tipis or nowhere at all., "For the past 30 years, Bert and Holly have been cranking this out on a manual typewriter in their yurt. You'll find diagrams and notes on how to make tools, portable showers, find seasonal jobs, stay warm at night while Winter camping; hitchhiking and freight train hopping guides; suggestions from people who live in their car, in tents, yurts, tipis, or nowhere at all. And perhaps my favorite thing about "Dwelling Portably" are the personal stories that surround the helpful information." -Print Fetish
