Andy Hamilton (author)

Andy Hamilton (b. 1974) is a British author. Born in Northampton, he now lives in Bristol.

Andy Hamilton is the co-founder of the website Selfsufficientish.com which he founded in April 2004 along with his brother Dave Hamilton. In April 2008 he released his first book, "The Selfsufficient-ish Bible", also written with his identical twin brother Dave, was published in the UK by Hodder and Stoughton. The website and book are hinged on a central philosophy of not going completely self-sufficient but just some of the way hence the 'ish'. This is perhaps best described taking the philosphy from their website - "The idea behind self-sufficientish-ism is although many of us would love to live on a farm, grow all our own food, brew pea pod wine, live the 'Good-Life'. Not all of us have the means the space or are perhaps unwilling to give it all up and suffer the highs and lows of going it alone on a smallholding.

Although total self-sufficiency is appealing the thought of giving up the little luxuries in life may not be. I grow a lot of my own food eat wild foods and when I have the money buy organic fruit and vegetables but I still enjoy beer in a pub and like to go to the cinema or eat out occasionally.

Self Sufficientish-ism has created for these reasons. It is for all those who have limited time, space or money but would like to have a go at growing their own food or brewing their own alcohol or want to know which wild foods are good to eat. We also aim to offer advice on a whole host of other subjects from a low-ecological impact perspective.
