Nah, I still want to live in a community. Just not the fake community we have now.

Also, log cabin homes are bad. The one pictured has the internal space of an efficiency apartment, but uses far more logs of wood to get a much draftier result. You could get a lot of 2x4s out of this thing.

Yea but if a tree falls on it, its going to survive the impact. Which is kind of important in the woods.

Tree falls on your log cabin — now you just have more house.

Native Americans came up with plenty of dwellings using the same materials in the same environment. Most of those were far less wasteful. Trees falling are not that common.

Were they permanent dwellings? It's fascinating how different cultures come up with different construction techniques, if you have any links with more info could you please share them?

Funny enough, a tree just fell on my water tank at camp.

My case won't take money to fix so much as all the other pain points. Gotta clean the shed so I can drag the genny out, so I can dump the old gas, put it all back together again, get on a ladder with the electric chainsaw and go to work, in the Florida heat and humidity, hope I don't get crushed to death like my great uncle. LOL, just not motivated right now! It'll hold till fall.
