Log Cabin Secrets

Posts Tagged ‘wilderness’

What I mean is… the idea of chopping down a few trees and building a log cabin near a stream. And taming the wilderness. It’s all been done. There is no manly things to do anymore. I love the idea of a simple log cabin, 12 hours behind a plow, and a wife and ten kids, a hot stove, and respect in the community, and no commute. How can the normal man trained for a city job, on an average level, become a traditional farmer type? all the land is worth millions now. Its ruined. It’s all out of kilter. I wish I was born a long time ago. I’d be prepared to risk typhus just for even one year of the traditional life. Men are so emasculated these days. There’s nothing to conserve, let alone be conservative about. There’s no dignity in the rat race. None at all. People don’t even have time to stay fit. Everything gives you cancer these days. All the women have had so many sexual partners. I’m dying here. I hate this century. The internets the only good thing.

There was this guy named Richard Proenneke, in the late 1960’s he moved to Alaska. He trekked into the wilderness miles away from civilization and built himself a log Cabin by hand. He lived there for 35 years in peace, alone, in the wilderness without having any interactions with civilization with the exception of a pilot who brought him supplies. I’ve been told that this is illegal by today’s laws and regulations in Alaska – and that you can be fined big time if they catch you doing it. Does anyone know if this is true?

Here is another addition for the videos to what is taking place..A few more looks at different things involved, mostly with the chainsaw. It was taken a little over a week ago. The job is slow and it takes time to do it right. It can be a costly mistake, if the log is damaged.
