You don't have to be Paul Bunyan to build a wilderness home. In fact,
you don't even need an ax, and nails are not an absolute necessity. What
you'll need is Wilderness Shelters, the definitive guide to building log
cabins, camping shelters, blockhouses, and more. Here are illustrated
instructions for everything from felling trees to splitting logs, from
laying foundations to insulating roofs. This book also shows you how to
fashion indoor and outdoor furniture for your rustic retreat, including
tables, benches, bookcases, beds, and ice chambers. And it teaches you
to obtain food from nature and dine in comfort. With its wealth of
ideas, Wilderness Shelters shows that wilderness living can be more
efficient than gadget-ridden urban lifestyles.
