the Jew fears this

>>540637436
Only problem, you'll need to have a dry dock to constantly repaint underneath.
Otherwise your boat will rust quickly.
Simpler method is to just go into wilderness and live there.

>>540638785
wood boat + tar + paint every couple seasons and you're good

or just build ferro-cement like the old river rats did and laugh at corrosion

fresh water rivers are way kinder than salt anyway

You're not in wilderness then. I'm thinking 8 hours away from any civilization type of deal. Build a cabin, hunt local deer and rabits, you can even get fish from creeks.
You can start farming as well. One of those self contained potato pots.
>Bugs
True, but rivers also has them. Especially in spring

But boats are cool as well. If you can make it work, I'll root for you anon. If shit hits the fan, monastery is always an option

Heh nothin personnel kid

>>540638785
Make it out of plastic barrels like ops pic, a big plastic drainage pipe filled with foam. A few stainless steel bolts through the whole thing to anchor the structure on.

Or do a ferrocement barge. But cement isn't as cheap as it was so idk if its worth it.

Quite a few if you cuddle.

this is the only thing the jewish rat fears enough

That is a shed on water.
You can't go 5 feet without entering the kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom. Assuming it even has any of them.

no plumbing
no power
no HVAC
no floor stability

>>540640422
Even if you had that the mosquitos and commute would leave you in such disease you wouldn’t last a month

Notice the pictured one is literally empty

300 square feet, you could go bigger

>>540640357
yeah no shit it’s a shed on water
that’s the entire point
you’re not building a 40ft yacht with a salon and guest cabin

kitchen = hot plate and a cooler
bedroom = the same 8x10 space you cook in
bathroom = 5 gallon bucket or a composting toilet in the corner

it’s not about having separate rooms
it’s about having zero rent and the ability to untie anytime

you trade square footage and privacy for freedom and cost

some people can’t handle that and need their suburban 3bed 2bath cope

>>540640422

>no plumbing
bucket or composting toilet + lake for a bath

>no power
solar panels have existed for 70+ years

>no HVAC
open the window nigga or just run a small AC unit in your tiny cabin

>no floor stability
welcome to boats, anon. everything moves. that’s the tax

>>540640460
>screened windows + citronella + just dealing with it like every other outdoor poorfag

or live farther out where the wind keeps them down. people who live on land near bodies of water deal with mosquitoes too.

>>540640460
>commute

what commute
you’re already unemployed or remote or just fishing for food
the whole point is you don’t have a 9-5 to drive to
you paddle or motor to the nearest dock when you need supplies once a week
that’s not a commute, that’s a supply run
disease is cope
people lived on riverboats and barges for decades without dying of malaria

you’re just soft
shanty boat life is discomfort by design
if the idea of bugs and a little inconvenience makes you quit in your head already, you were never gonna last anyway

very nice.

>>540638785
Rusting isn't nearly as big of a problem in fresh water. Or am I wrong?

>>540638733
how do you drive this ? with the hut in the way you cant see where you are swimming when you steer the steerer ?

>>540640626
You live like a slave to have "freedom".
Ironic.

>>540637436
I watch that guy's channel a lot.

I'm in the process of getting a triple pontoon boat and building a house on it and going down the ohio and Mississippi rivers.
then go to tampa and chill with my friends for a few months and make a bunch of money working.
when i have enough saved up, I'd like to take it down to the panama canal, back up the west coast all the way to alaska.
it's gonna be amazing.

>>540641185
not ironic at all
you’re a slave to rent
a slave to a job that pays the rent
a slave to the HOA
a slave to the power company
a slave to the water bill
a slave to the neighbor who calls the cops because your grass is 0.4 inches too long
i’m a slave to the weather, the mosquitoes, and whether my solar panel charged enough
that’s a shorter chain
one of us needs permission from five different systems just to exist
the other just needs the boat to keep floating

>>540641315
That’s a solid itinerary.

A triple pontoon is the right call. It’s way more stable than a single or dual setup and much better for actually living on instead of just surviving.

Starting with the Ohio River down to the Mississippi is the smart training arc. Calm water, plenty of places to tie up, and you can work out all your systems without the risk of dying.
The Tampa money grind makes sense too. Build up the bankroll before you tackle the harder parts.

The Panama Canal and West Coast run up to Alaska is where it stops being a floating shed adventure and turns into real boat life. That stretch will test every weld, every seal, every solar panel, and your mental state. The weather on the Pacific side is no joke, and Alaska will freeze you out if you’re not properly prepared.
Do it right: overbuild the structure, set up redundant power and water systems, get proper navigation gear, and don’t cheap out on the engines.

Most people who talk about this never leave the driveway. If you actually make it past the Gulf, you’re already ahead of 99% of the dreamers.

>>540641151
You drive it from the front.

On boats like this the helm (steering wheel and controls) is almost always at the forward end of the cabin or right on the front deck. The “hut” is built so the driver sits at the leading edge and looks out through the front windows or from an open station on the bow.

Looking at the photo, you can see the front porch/deck area and the door/windows right there, that’s where the operator sits. The long box is behind or around the driving position, not blocking the view forward.

Same idea as a motorhome or a big RV: the living space is behind the driver’s seat. You’re not trying to steer from the back of the structure.

>>540641466
the ocean honestly scares me.
I live at the beginning of the ohio river, so I already know how crazy a river can be when it gets high and stormy. the ocean is so much worse. I'll probably just travel around on the rivers with the seasons for the first few years until I get a lot better at boat stuff before I try the ocean.
my friend is going to do the great loop with his wife in a few years when he retires. it sounds cool.
If I can afford it, I would like to fill the pontoons up with spray foam, so that I never sink, and I can put a lot more weight on them.

>>540641466
I definitely would rather build my own shantyboat than buy a houseboat because when things break, I'll know how to fix it because I built it. and everything will be new.
buying a used boat is like buying a hole in the water to throw money into.

>>540641315
>looks up triple pontoon prices*
HOLY FUCKING FUCK. WHY SO EXPENSIVE?!

>>540642442
nah dude. you don't buy a new one. I'm getting either a wrecked one or a hunk of shit. as long as the pontoons are intact.
I plan on tearing the top off and building my house on it anyways.

>>540642715
are you going to buy a new engine at least, or just drift aimlessly about?

>>540637436
>boat cops arrest you and seize the unregistered boathouse because you didn't pay $25,000/year in property taxes on a floating trashheap
