I just rediscovered a link to a great book, Dolly Freed’s classic ‘Possum living: How to live well without a job and with (almost) no money’. It’s an interesting read, lots of useful tips and hints. You can read the whole thing online here.
In other news, I’m nearly done writing a book(let), a collection of essays and endangered skills. It will hopefully be on paper in the next month, once I figure out how to do that, and available for folks to buy (gasp!). I am really excited about it, it’s somewhat a distillation of the most pertinent ideas and skills I have to share at the moment, that I can fit into a smallish booklet. Some stuff has appeared here, much of it is fresh.

Thanks for Possum Living
My favorite posts on here seem to be missing, guessing they’re included in your book? I’m excited for it too, I love your blog.

it’s true, i’ve taken down several posts that are going to be in the book, since what was going to be a self published booklet has evolved into a book, and I might have a publisher that’s interested……!
