Thanks for this great group writing project, quite timely if I may add, this was a great opportunity to envision my dream home in details…

Hi Jarko, if you go to that link I have listed in my post, you can purchase that video. there is also a couple follow up videos. I highly recommend that book. Watching him make kitchen tools out of scrap wood, building his own stone fireplace, making blueberry syrup and canoeing across the lake to get the appropriate wood for his roof and then insulating w/ moss - is just so extraordinary in my opinion.

Hi Shelley, and thanks for the information that really saved my day. Now I just have to figure out how to get my hands on it.

It ain’t hard to live in self-sufficient way, but it is hard to live that way for years. Most of us are not willing to give up our electronics, warm water and other stuff that we now consider necessities, even they probably weren’t invented twenty years ago. Like the old joke goes, if we wouldn’t have electricity, we’d have to watch TV in candle light.

Wally & Jarko,
The movie documentary you are talking about is called “Alone in the Wilderness.” It is the story of Dick Proenneke who built a log cabin from hand in ALASKA and lived there for over 20 years, totally self sufficient. I have watched this documentary over 10 times and never tire of it!

No, thank you. You are the first participant and as time is running out your chances to win the prize will get better and better. Really like the points you made in your post. Looks like I have to pick up your RSS, because I don’t know nearly enough what’s going on in that part of the world.

Hi Wally, can’t really connect the dots with this movie, though I’d like to watch it. Anyone who knows this flick, feel free to join conversation and post the name of the movie.

Green technology really is something that should be obligatory with every new home. I guess that day is still quite far… but we’ll live to see it (hopefully). I don’t have any photos of green log homes (what does that tell about log home people). I should go and get them.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by Wally.

Love log cabins great blog! you ever see a movie about a dude in Canada that builds a cabin in mountains there and lives there about i guess 20 yrs or more? would you know name of film. I know at end it said the cabin stayed behind as a monument. a log cabin with solar roofs are a great sell do you have any?
