ler totalmente The New Age Traveller Way of Life: Part 3 - Sustenance

This book is one part of a trilogy I am producing on The New Age Traveller Way of Life. The three books will be:

• Part 1 – Legal Aspects
• Part 2 – Building Homes
• Part 3 – Sustenance

Part 1 and 2 are published (see Dread 2025a, Dread 2025b in the Bibliography), and this is Part 3. Each part can be read as a standalone, though there will be some minor cross-referencing.
These books are mainly aimed at those who want to live on the road. That could mean daily travellers, or those who only move when the old bill tells them to fuck off in no uncertain terms. The point is, this isn’t just a guide to off-grid living – it’s focused on those living in vehicles or trailers, whether constantly moving or parked up on a permanent site. That said, many of the themes take years to put into practice, so this book is mainly aimed at those with more permanent plots. The principles, skills, tools and good practice are similar, if not the same.
Though the focus is on New Age Travellers, the content should be just as helpful to anyone setting up and living on a plot of land. Hell, it might even help the odd folk who live in houses – maybe save them a bit of dosh or stop them handing it all over to a bunch of money-making tossers.
I’ve used all the up-to-date resources I could find, but this book is mostly based on what I’ve learned by doing it myself. Others may have different ideas, shortcuts or better methods – and I’d love to hear them. Technology moves faster than I can keep up. The methods here work, but there might already be better ones. I’m sure we’ll soon have AI robots doing everything for us – but in my very humble opinion, fuck that.
Now, a controversial bit. I’m vegan (they call me the “worst vegan in the village” – though I’m also the only one, so technically the best). I could bang on about health, ethics and the environment, but really, I’m vegan because I want to be. I’m not militant and don’t give a fuck what you eat. That said, I’d feel weird writing non-vegan recipes. A lot of travellers eat meat – some only eat roadkill. I’m not judging; I just don’t feel qualified to write about it. So all the foraging and recipe advice here is vegan. Give it a butchers (no pun intended) – you might like it.
The whole point of this book is to show you how to sustain yourself on a low budget, using your own hands and noggin. To some, that might sound daft, but for me, the buzz of foraging, growing food, cooking it, avoiding the shops and telling the capitalist cunts to piss off – that’s real satisfaction. I’m too old to stand on protest lines and I don’t follow the chaos in the world. My protest is doing it all myself and putting as little as possible into their system.
In some places, I haven’t gone into loads of detail – I can’t cover every plant or creature in the UK. Whole books exist for that. And loads of us (me included) don’t have formal training. So do your own research and consult experts when needed. The knowledge is out there – ask around. But be careful – get it wrong and you could do real damage. Fry up the wrong shrooms, and you could wipe out your whole site!
I’ve not included flower or shrub gardening – not essential for sustenance (though good for the soul), and there are already loads of books and videos on that.
You don’t need to read this book cover to cover – but I hope it becomes a handy reference on your shelf.
If you spot anything I’ve got wrong, misinterpreted or missed, I’d be happy to hear from you.
I’ve included a comprehensive Bibliography but skipped websites – they go out of date fast. I’m sure you can find them yourself, but shout if you struggle.
