    elspru replied to the topic Any actually currently happening yet? in the forum Active Seasteading Projects 6 days, 21 hours ago

    There are multiple ways of increasing “Drama”,
    for instance by making a play or narrative fiction,
    about Seasteading and it’s benefits,
    and then acting it out, and
    putting it on youtube.

    In terms of “sibling rivalry” while Tupac and Biggy Smalls were popular,
    they both ended up dieing due to their constant feuding and threats made real.
    On the Contrary, we can co-operate with the Zeitgeist […]

    Hey ya, so yesterday I put a deck onto the barrel catamaran,
    used an old hollow closet door salvaged from recycling,
    sawed it in half, so there is half to cover each barrel,
    they are attached to the mahogany […]

    Ya resource-management is communism, or better known as totalitarian centralized dictatorship.

    this led to many useless […]

    oh ya, and when I made the ferro-cement dinghy,
    based on calculations it displaced around 2 tons,
    it cost around $200 for the hull itself,
    and about $150-200 for anchor’s, oars, life jacket etc.

    Ya it’s true. In Canada it’s already extremely difficult to have a floating home, since lots of people say “not on my beach”.
    That’s why Phi Boats aims to make submersible boats, which can be “out of sight, out […]

    Jeff you’re right, I looked up the definition of “semi-submersible” it was totally-different from what I was intending to say.

    What I meant was a fully-submersible craft, with a large amount of reserve […]

    I don’t understand. I’ve never heard of your company before. Who are you exactly?
    Do you have a website or any kind of submarines or anything, in Europe for instance?
    Also are you implying you’re somehow related […]

    Hey, so I already had time to make the first boat of the year, it’s two 208L barrels tied together, with a mahogany backbone, it’s a 1-2 person flotation device, can displace 400kg.

    It’s actually possible to have lots and lots of reserve buoyancy, and still be submersible.

    Can have separate water-tight rooms, as recommended by SOLAS. In case there is large reserve boyancy, and low […]

    So if you get less than $25,000 in pledges,
    then you get nothing, am I correct?
    Anyways you say open for business,
    yet I don’t see any products available.

    could also do ship-repair, and offer retrieval and man-over-board services,
    if for instance someone has sank and is now on a lifeboat,
    or if someone has dis-masted and would like to be towed.
    Mostly though, any […]
