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.

Drafty? You know they put isolation between the logs right?

By not opening the logs, you don't invite moisture to the wood either. If you made them into 2x4's and didn't treat them, you'd have rot within a few years. It's not exactly a coincidence that log cabins where the norm where you had enough wood to support them.

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.
