The thought of a weekend Cabin isn’t necessarily about the weekend, or cabins. It’s about the longing for a sense of place, for shelter set in a landscape…for something that speaks to distance from the everyday. Nostalgic and wistful, it’s about how people create structure in ways to consider the earth and sky and their place in them. It’s not concerned with ownership and property, but what people build to fulfil their dreams of escape. The very short-time idea of “weekend” reminds that it’s a temporary respite.
“I am a hunter and love all things hunting,” Jac writes. “If you don’t like hunting, that’s your right. I do. It’s my hobby. Men all over the world have hobby rooms. This is the one I like. I read, listen to the radio, clean guns, sharpen knives, make things at the table, play numerous games with my kids, snooze (there’s a vintage folding cot in there), relax, talk to friends and family etc.”

The total materials cost? $107. Some of the wood came from a packing crate, some from an old barn. The “fireplace” rocks were found on the side of the road.
We at Wildman Adventures love this!
