Freedom Road by Harold Hough Loompanics Unlimited / PO Box 1197, Port Townsend, WA 98368 Ever had the urge to give up your settled lifestyle and hit the road, for good? Tired of rents, mortgages, home repair, noisy neighbors, landlords, and looking at the same view through the windows every day? Tired of the same old "secure" job? Feel the need to live a nomadic existence? If you're thinking about switching to living in an RV (recreational vehicle), than this book is for you. Hough's book is filled with practical advice for a person or couple who live on the road. The book opens with an examination of the strengths of RV- living. Hough argues that RVs are the key to living a life that is more free of government interference, community standards, and financial worries. The rhetoric in this part of the book would sound familiar to many anarchists. Living a life free of government interference is a concept that appeals to many. Hough's approach to this desire is to live life on the road. Most of this book is filled with practical advice for the person who decides to take up residence on "Freedom Road." How does one choose the right RV? How does one earn money if one lives on the road? How do you choose your state of residence? Where should one get a drivers license? Where does one stay overnight? For several months? Hough answers these questions and provides many more practical tips for those living the RV lifestyle. As a person with no intention of hitting the road, I nonetheless found this book to be very interesting. It makes one think about the things we take for granted when we put down roots. It also gives a glimpse of a lifestyle that few of us lead. Another fine practical book from Loompanics. ******** Most government laws and actions are based on the premise that all people live in fixed residences. Thinking this, they tax your real esate, fix its use through zoning, and control your behavior through silly laws. Without a fixed residence you can avoid most governments and many of their laws. ******** --Chuck Munson
