<p>Hi DM and t - this is a fun topic for me, as well, though maybe without quite as advanced thinking and motivation about benefits for economy and world. But I may be moving in that direction.</p>
<p>A friend is now free-forming a little house on the back of a trailer - he's a pretty good craftsman and I'm curious what he will come up with - I haven't seen any of it yet.</p>
<p>For close to a year (and for shorter trips and events over decades as a mobile hang out) I lived in a 53 chevy van. I'll post some photos of it on the photo page, along with the cargo shipping container I lived predominantly in for a few years, until about a year ago.</p>
<p>I'm imagining the van experience isn't totally new to some of you. Space decisions and planning is big. By comparison the 160 sq' steel box is capacious, only a bit smaller than the studio apt that I live in now.</p>
<p>Two van pics will show a camping/surfing trip with friends and family. Another at a dying as a rite of passage retreat in Death Valley. The ability to cocoon as needed, while in great or daunting situations feels like a luxury, when one thinks about many people without homes or in families jammed into tiny places. There have been times in my past when I needed to log a lot of alone and closed-down-and-safe-feeling time. The van was a blessing.</p>
<p>To place the cargo shipping container into the mountainside, I had a hydraulic excavator dig a notch in the dirt and then insert the 20' box into it. Since I wanted it under the radar, it was outwardly simply a storage unit. Open the metal doors and I had built a wall half wood and half strong "hardware cloth", overlain with no-see-um mosquito netting. I hung a security screen door to give an initial barrier to bears, other wild animals, and potential rude humans. It was off grid even for cell phones. The refrigerator you'll see was used as storage and very slightly effective cool box.</p>
<p>You won't see in the photos, but later I made a storage loft by hanging tie-down straps above the bed and placing a hollow-core door on it, with small space-gaining outrigger boards beside it.</p>
<p>I could simply step out of the door and be on a ledge that overlooked some hillsides. Every season had its beauty, and the price was right. You'll see, if you like, some typical early morning, daytime, and moonlit views. In one, after a creek-exploration hike and camping jaunt, is a friend doing some yoga-like stretches in the clear-aired space.</p>
<p>There will be one photo of another container that makes good car storage.</p>
<p>Living small is good, especially if one doesn't have a family, eh. Some variations on the theme aren't always easy, eh. And, often, perfect, eh.</p>
<p>I'll try to post the photos in some order. ambo</p>
