live aboard boat

[hancocs]

I'm in the process of selling my house in order to down size and get out of debt. I thought today what the advantages and disadvantages are of living on a 30 to 50 foot boat. The thing that is keeping me from it, is where do I put all my prep stuff? Maybe a storage unit, but when a collapse happens will I be able to get to it? And it is hard to grow a garden when the water is your backyard. I'm single and it just me, so that's why I'm considering this. What do you think??? Ideas, suggestions, do it don't do it?? Maybe a small house with a good place for a garden is better.

A 50 ft. boat? That could come in handy in the near future.

I would do this:

Keep house and rent it out. (You might want to move back)

Rent a boat for a two week vacation. (You might hate boat living after two weeks)

Then make your decision.

Yup. I am use to living on a boat. I'm medical officer on a 376 foot Factory Trawler( F/t Alaska Ocean) . We fish in the Bering sea. Boat life would not be new to me, given I live on the water 6 months out of the year already. But you did not know that, and that was a good suggestion.

Container storage near a port facility would have to be way cheaper and easier to maintain and secure than a house that is vacant for six months of the year.  Then you could live in light housekeeping or even find someone on an alternate schedule to share accommodation with. 

Depending on where you would like to live in the future; buy a tractor trailor and lease it out, so you would own something to transport your preps container should you need to do so; or keep enough hard currency to ship the container to where you want it latter.

Interesting idea Dame
