Homesteading: Cabin In The Trees
kabri over at the Forest and Farm adventures blog, writes about homesteading on forest land, with plenty o’ pictures.
The July 8th post includes the image of their cabin in the trees (cropped here in reduced thumbnail):
When we first bought our forest land, we tried camping in our trailer. The trouble with that was - we would frequently have to haul the trailer down to town to fill up on water, and empty grey and black water tanks. It was a tiny trailer, no room for much and more than 2 people really cramped the space. The best thing it had going for it - it could be moved. So we sold it and had this tiny, 12 x 16′ 2 story cabin built. It has all the comforts of home, but smaller!
The post continues with a description of the cabin accommodations, water treatment, the propane refrigerator, and a noisy, hated generator that “spoils the ambiance.” Solar may be used for the small energy loads in the future.
