    Log cabins

    Anyone on here love to live on one aye a real one not the type they sell in the caravan parks .

    I would love to live on one ..
    If not what kind of house would you like to live in. I like my house just now it's a mock Tudor house they call them problem being plenty of rooms but none of them very big..

    Was looking at buying some land and building one 2 years ago of in the sticks with the wildlife around how good would that be .

    The Mrs has went cool on the idea as both the daughters now live in the brig of don.

    Edit for this wow eh.

    You should give this book a bash. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. He lived there from '68 until '99 when his health deteriorated.

    The book is basically the journals he kept while he was in Alaska and the whole building of his log cabin and the initial set up etc. There are bears and wolves too

    I'm not a book reader due to dyslexia but I can read of course .
    Will speak to my wife about it as she's a massive book reader I'm sure reading about wildlife living would be down her street.
    Thanks for sharing that info with me.

    Finally got my 75 inch 4k TV great for the film's off the firestick .
