The Whole Earth Catalog was indeed the internet of its day. I lived in a tipi bought from a supplier in TWEC. Bought tools via mail order from suppliers in TWEC. Bought homesteading books from booksellers listed in TWEC. Dreamed of peace, love, staying high... alas, alcohol/drug use claimed a lot of us--achieving sobriety did not mesh with TWEC ideals--35 yrs later I'm embracing them again, glad for sobriety, children, grandchildren, health, but sad for the world. Let's remake it. I'm in.

Lloyd Kahn is right when he says that they could live on 20$ a month and that they had plenty of tieme That's not something possible today, but still, it was a courageous endeavor. We have much to learn from their worldview. They were truly building something, not just chairs and tables and houses, but a way of living in the world. May this inspire us to build a better world. Thank you for the great video.

The Whole Earth Catalogue and Shelter were a huge inspiration and influence on my life as the last of the Baby Boomers. Born 1959 . I am an American expat Jazz pianist living in Copenhagen Dk. off the grid. We were the Captain Kangaroo not Howdy Doody gen. We all had 60s envy but were lucky to have all the successful land based communities and Co-op's and Anti-nuclear Support groups to cushion our wrestles search for America and community belonging.

I had a Whole Earth Catalog 1970 in the 70s when I was in my teens and twenties, and it was an inspiration. It really opened my eyes as a young man to see that you could do a lot for yourself and didn't have to depend on others for a whole range of things, including your happiness. It helped me discover that the more you do for yourself, the happier you *can* -- not necessarily *will* -- be...but at least your chances are better. I think the reason a lot of people are depressed these days is we no longer do things like grow our own food, build our own shelter, make our own clothes, etc. Plus, the work many people get paid to do these days is meaningless and not rewarding -- it only provides an income while someone else profits handsomely. I agree that it's not possible to be totally independent and self-sustaining, but the more you can do for yourself, I believe the better your chances of being a well-adjusted person. Get some tools and build something. Start really small and keep it simple. I did, and eventually ended up taking down and relocating an old barn. I'd never done any real carpentry before that and because I worked with an experienced carpenter, everything turned out great. It gave me the confidence to try a lot of other projects since then. Have fun and don't be afraid to try.

I can't tell you how delighted I am to see this. The Whole Earth Catalog, CoEvolution Quarterly, Whole Earth Review were incredibly ground-breaking publications that need to be revisited and studied. I have the complete set of CoEvolution Quarterly/WER, and I still find great ideas and penetrating insights on their pages. I only have a few of the Catalogs, which I treasure. Thank you for giving these marvelous publications public exposure. We need their ideas as much now as we did when they first appeared--maybe even moreso.

This sort of lifestyle is something I so desperately want. Being able to live simply. Self-sufficiency with time to put energy into the things you want and the people you love. I feel the generation I am growing up in is based upon the idea of demand and supply. Things cheap and cheerful without enough emphasis on quality and workmanship :( University applications are coming up for me but I wonder.. it just seems like a commitment to society, working tirelessly to survive and pay off dept

It was the single most influential element (the Whole Earth Catalog) (aside from jazz) in my early autodidactic evolution. It's impossible to convey the complex modulation of memories you've set in motion. All of those lost people and influences Bucky,The Tao of Physics, Alan Watts, this mans work and all those alternative communities associated with that antinuclear movement ready to welcome all us post hippie pilgrims in that very different pre-internet world. Yeah thanks for this.

Wow! An original Fall 1968 copy of the Whole Earth Catalog! I have never seen a copy of that issue offered, be it eBay or AbeBooks, never mind any used book store. I own two issues of the WEC, the Fall 1969 issue, and the super-thick The Last Whole Earth Catalog from 1971. They show their age, but all the pages and covers are intact. Lloyd Kahn's copy of the 1968 WEC sure got a lot of use, I hate to see what a copy goes for these days, especially one in better shape. I was born in 1972 so the WEC is before my time, but that never stopped me from getting info on that era and getting a couple used copies of the WEC.

Country side is very nice, but I think urban tiny homes are more challenging in a way that you (most of the time) can't build your home, you need to convert an already existing place!

I once had an a Whole Earth Catalog. I joined the Army. I dragged my catalog to England where the U.S. Army sent me. The paper of my catalog went to mush. in the U.K. climate. To me it was better than any bible I ever owned. I don't know why they have not published a new catalog for 2021. Maybe they had too many law suits against them. Maybe everyone just got so rich they just retired.

I also needed to add on, $5 for a copy of the Fall 1968 Whole Earth Catalog, that's a lot of money for 1968. I just used an online inflation calculator, it's about $36 in today's money (2017). So you're paying $36 in today's money, or $5 in 1968, to get a brand new copy of the first WEC back in '68.

I appreciate that he talks about living a partially self-sustaining lifestyle-- not a completely reject modern culture but look at it critically and see if we can do/create something ourselves. I've had people tell me that gardening and canning do not save money (considering the labor involved). It's not about saving $. The Creeds and your filming explain this so well. Thank you!

Working hard for yourself rather than routing your effort though a monterey system is a personal aim but as this guy says you still need a little money for something. The hardest part is getting enough money to buy a plot of land. This is especially hard in the U.K. as suitable plots are so expensive.

@Ariebingo I couldn't agree with you more. I feel an inherent need to avoid debt at all costs, and one day i realized that it's not so different now as it was in the 60s, it just depends on how much you're willing to give up. You could probably live a comfortably life on minimum wage. The problem is people want everything all at once, i think in a few years this diy ethic will start to resonate and really take hold of our society. People change when their actions start to hurt their pockets.

I guess you could say it all with three words: Repair, Reuse & Recycle. Although, let's face it, the hippie mottoes of days gone by will not cure you of cancer, or take us to the stars or pacify your kids. Everything changes and nothing stays the same. Nostalgia can be fun and even interesting to discover, yet one should never get stuck in the past but live life today :)

Yep, I grew up with the WEC lying around and a funky home-made home, chickens, on an acreage my folks bought for $80 an acre, paid it all off in five years including the house they built. We also grew a lot of food. Like Kahn, my folks figured things out, how to not work for the man, and be self-reliant to such a larger degree than my friends and their families who lived in town, had cable t.v. and ate Pop Tarts. It's just sad now how enslaved so many people are.

史蒂夫·乔布斯的60年代谷歌:重新审视《全球概览》(一位前编辑的家园之旅) 史蒂夫·乔布斯称《全球概览》(Whole Earth Catalog)是 "我们这一代的圣经之一"。他在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲中继续解释说:“它有点像谷歌的平装版,比谷歌出现的时间早35年:它是理想主义的,充满了整洁的工具和伟大的概念。” 《全球概览》是一种 "反主流文化的非官方手册"。在互联网出现之前,它是任何地方的人进入全球经济的一种方式。创始人和编辑斯图尔特·布兰德(Stewart Brand)开始创建一个目录--就像当时非常实用的通用目录L.L. Bean--它将展示世界上所有伟大的工具,以帮助任何人为自己做事或了解大的想法。 劳埃德·卡恩(Lloyd Kahn)是该目录的编辑。卡恩,一个从保险经纪人转行的建筑师,利用他在《全球概览》的经验,开始出版自己的书。首先,他写了非常受欢迎的关于穹顶建筑的书。卡恩已经成为 "反主流穹顶文化的代言人"(the spokesman for the counterculture on domes)(他的穹顶住宅甚至出现在《生活》杂志上),但当他认为这种建筑风格并不实用,"我不想在我的大地上再出现任何穹顶"时,他将这些书停印了。 1974年,卡恩拆掉了他的穹顶,取而代之的是更传统的手工制作的房屋。"用回收的木材、门、窗建造了螺柱结构的房子,"他在2004年的《家庭工作》(Home Work)一书中写道,"以某种方式救济,发现旧的方式可以发挥最好的作用。" 今天,劳埃德和他的妻子莱斯利·克里德(Lesley Creed)在加利福尼亚的博利纳斯经营着自己的家园,他们在那里照料一个广泛的有机花园和小鸡,研磨自己的小麦,制作自己的酸面团,纺自己的羊毛,并继续建造自己的结构(最近,一个带活屋顶的鸡舍)。
