In any kind of off the grid life,DIY boats will be a central part of the survival plan, even if you aren’t directly on the water. This is because no matter what happens, rivers will remain a great highway of transportation for many.
If you plan on living off the grid on in any remote area that has access to water, owning your own boat is a must-have. In addition, making sure that your boat is safe and secure can go from being a nice extra to being a necessity when you live in a remote area where your boat is your primary mode of transportation. That is why it is important to know not only the basics that go into the making of a boat whether you make it yourself or not, but also how to repair it and keep it secure.
A boat that is not secure or not water tight because of weathering can be a true liability to anyone looking to survive in a remote location.
A good place to start would be with the basic ship guide to get the basics of how a ship or boat works. Even if you never build a boat yourself, you may need to jury-rig a DIY boat setup at some point, especially if you find yourself in the middle of an emergency where a boat that is not completely seaworthy is your only mode of escape. Familiarity with the workings could make the difference.
