David’s Ramblings

I was passing through Bastrop Texas this weekend on my way to an event in Anderson and I happened across this fellow in a parking lot. He was pulling in towing his survival home and stopping at the cell phone store.

This guy seems to have a lot of skills, talents and smarts in order to build adapt and maintain this mobile survival shelter. Something must be wrong in our society where people like him are homeless. I think it may be related to a statistic that 1 in 4 persons in USA are employed protecting the wealth of the rich. Here’s a link to that economists’ work.

Anyway he’s take two bicycles and welded them to a frame that enables fairly good mobility, added a platform that keeps him off the ground and looks to have a fold out roof for protection and there’s a propane heater on the back. When closed up provides a bit of protection for his belongings.
