¶How it works
* People living & hacking in portable architecture (tents, etc)
* Deployed:
in nature, or in cities
in and around hacker festivals / camps
* Financed with use contributions, and (cash, equipment) donations
* Stored or sold away after use:
parts left in different places, recomposing, adding up
* Moved into place for next deployments

¶Contents (What's in the boxes)
Full subsistence infrastructure.
Standard CHT #boxes.
See 🔗stuff, also 🔗ordering.
* http://twitter.com/chtotalism/status/708048605513445376 (like image above)
The equipment is sorted and stored in plastic impermeable storage boxes.
Ties to 🔗tech-tree, 🔗graph-index, 🔗roles, ...!

¶ Others
* Nomadic peoples around the world:
"It is estimated that there are about 30-40 million nomads around the world." *
* Hacker camps attract thousands of people yearly, with hundreds of crews:
→ 🔗calendar
* People interested in survivalism, high-performance camping, bushcraft, etc:
→ 🔗camping
_______________
However:
These setups are not hackbases.
They do not invite open participation, etc.

¶ * Move boxes to location (Logistics)
Reference shipment quote:
via http://www.pallet2ship.co.uk
* Europallet = 100x100x100cm, 100kg
* Berlin -> Guildford (UK), location of EMF camp
* = ~200€ + VAT
looks that's too much
Some equipment would better be not shipped, but bought on site:
* very heavy/big stuff (like: batteries)
* very breakable stuff (like: solar panels?)
Perhaps logistics in itself is a mistake:
* "Always strive for replication, not for transportation"
* The end tab should be picked up by local people, and so a new "hackbase seed" started
* This would need a unique system of funding
<--- #subfinance
Alternative ways:
* People already going there, helping to transport ("hitch-hiking logistics")
* [...] !!!

¶ * Storage
"Where boxes are during downtime".
It's currently an annoying and recurring problem for the CHT base in Lanzarote, as well.
This ties to #vaults.
Options:
* buy a van:
(what CHT did with 🔗trucko)
* weather-proof + bury boxes underground
* separate into parts / modules (boxed up anyway), and disperse around different people
* deploy as a local hackerspace ("active storage" pattern)
* #vaults, an european network
* [...]
Storage is simpler, as the base prototype/model is improved:
* WEATHER-PROOF:
capacity to be stored outside or buried underground:
(this now supposedly almost works, since #cht4c)
* more compact, lighter, etc:
(needing less space, easier to move around by anybody on the ground)
* better appearance:
(so it can be stored in somebody's living room)
And also as:
* the network improves (#vaults)
* [...]

¶*** GENERAL GOVERNANCE
Open questions:
* How to make decisions about where the base goes next, etc?
* What constitutes deciding power?
* [...]
Protections for stewardship-transfer:
* The model must not be a "no-profit pre-assembled & optimized all you need pack" ending up in the hands of bourgie campers
* New stewards must commit to maintaining the openness:
in some way, a GPL-like transitivity
* so: bases should not be bought and sold as "speculative commodities" !
I guess this opens the space for a "hackbases foundation".

#typology
so:
(int):
* these are modes of hacker being
* based on actual things you can do on the side (~10-20h/week)
* that are cool ("agree with you")
* sensible, agreable work
* ... that you need to be on the land for
(ext):
* cleaning up trash (plastic, construction leftovers, hunter bullets, etc)
* herding ("hacker cowboys") would be good for the land
* "forestry": cleaning up wood, invasive species control, etc
* terraforming: planting trees, terrain modifications, etc
* water + aquifier management: canals, aljibes, etc
* biology & other field science research
---------------------------------
#meta
this typology, as all, needs:
* a WORKFLOW with tactical tools
* totalist awareness of complete environment ("don't pick a random valley")
* totalist (complete) environment awareness:
* location selection
* contingencies
