What do you need to be virtually self sustainable on a BOAT?

[warpus]

You'd need a fresh water collector of some sort, so that you can water the hops used to brew the beer, at least.

That is so awesome! I am going to begin building my own and join him!

How old is your girlfriend? and how old are you?

 

[Narz]

White Elk, that is the coolest thing I've seen on Youtube... well ever I think. I'm gonna look that guy up.

 

[Abaddon]

How old is your girlfriend? and how old are you?

I'm 23. Lizzie, is younger

This isnt a serious plan for my current stage in life, just a fantastical whimsy. Perhaps when I retire.

You'll need a urine drink machine like fish-man Kevin Costner had.

It wouldn't hurt to start saving urine jars now so that you'll have a large supply by the time you get around to doing this.

Don't worry if people think your crazy. Just explain why you collect urine jars and they will understand.

I thought WhiteElk's link was so cool I joined a Ning network about Spiral Islands & posted this there.

The two happiest days in a boat owners life are the day he buys his boat, followed by the day he sells it.

You'll need enough weapons to fend off the Israelis.

That island is sweet I want to live on one but it would need to big enough to have cattle. I don't believe I would be able to give up my BEEF!!

Just to note, that Island would be completely nonviable in international waters.

 

[Kilkakon]

Fire Extinguishers are a must. I'm recalling how Sealand had an explosion a while back.

Plus, foam is fun.

Steer clear of Gaza?

Just to note, that Island would be completely nonviable in international waters.

You are not allowed to live in international waters?

 

[Till]

You are not allowed to live in international waters?

I guess what Perfection meant is that the island is not very seaworthy. The first storm on open sea would probably sweep it clean and break it apart.

 

[Abaddon]

True. It only is viable in a lagoon. Still a nice idea tho.

 

[Abaddon]

No floating near Gaza!

I am still needing the internet. Whats the best way to get internet at sea? It is prohibitively expensive?

And that's just for the hardware needed. The connection charges are even more ludicrous.
