Parked on a street in San Rafael last week. There’s a mother of a thick-plate steel front bumper with neatly-mounted winch (it’s great to be able to pull people’s cars out of ditches). How about taking off for a 6-month trip to Baja, camping for weeks or more at a time? Mileage probably ain’t grand, but how about all resources you’ll save by living in the desert? Just a thought spurred by seeing this competent machine.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
