{"product_id":"your-cabin-in-the-woods-9781626549708","title":"Your Cabin in the Woods","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe techniques of cabin building described here are derived and updated from the American pioneers, a spirit Conrad Meinecke fully possessed. The cabins he outlines, from the simple framed tent and two-man squatter to the long house and five-room family cabin, are all built of natural building.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Cabin in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e covers all aspects of cabin building: from where to build it and which direction to face it, to furnishings, plumbing, and outdoor equipment. The measured diagrams, floor plans, and cross-sections are clear, well detailed, and accompanied by directions. Meinecke explains the proper use of tools and how to avoid potential problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeinecke also elaborates on building fireplaces-from the simple outdoor campfire to the well-appointed indoor hearth. He provides detail about fires for heat and cooking, describing the use of such implements as the cooking reflector and the wash boiler. He even offers recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Cabin in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e is lively and conversational. It is as if Meinecke is talking with you around a campfire. Infused with an altruistic spirit, his philosophy is direct and homespun. He emphasizes communion with and respect for nature, and includes a section dispelling fears and myths about the elements, insects, and small animals. He sees nature as sacred and advocates a simple, contemplative life. What sets this book apart is its mix of practicality and philosophy. Even if you don't use the exact building plans presented in \u003ci\u003eYour Cabin in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, you will come away with a deeper understanding of cabins. This will help you become a better builder, as well as give you a deeper appreciation of the pleasures that cabins offer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn these crowded and hyper-paced times, a simple cabin offers a nest away from the bustle and expense of the city and suburbs. Meinecke provides practical, affordable, and sane advice on how to make our own little heaven in the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Echo Point Books \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50361025233170,"sku":"9781626549708","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_49538ff4-39d2-49c7-ace8-0e35531bb550.jpg?v=1737068947","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/your-cabin-in-the-woods-9781626549708","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
