For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

Hi all, I'm new to all this.

I'm writing because I went to a seminar last weekend held by the Sea-Steading Institute. My interest was in sailing, but a lot of their information involved surviving peak oil. So, here I am, in a panic, getting all the information I can.

I really have to recommend Jerome FitzGerald's book "Sea-Steading". I was aboard his boat last weekend and it's the real deal. It's achievable, and a number of people are living independent lives where they'll just laugh at us land based people fighting it out.

Anybody else ought there considering the oceans as an excape?

I've considered this as one possible escape for awhile now.

PM me if you want to discuss it in further detail.

We're talking about it under "planning for the future" I'm new to the whole thing and dont really have much to offer yet. Do you have sailing experience?

FitzGerald says a boat should cost between a dollar and two dollars a pound.
