DESCRIPTION:
Most city folks seem always to rush things through. Ever dream of escaping to a cozy cabin in the great outdoors? This unique bind-up of Conrad Meinecke's classic works helps make that a reality, while imparting a deeper appreciation of nature and of building something with your own two hands.For 70 years, readers have been enjoying Meinecke's odes to the simple life, Your Cabin in the Woods and Cabin Craft and Outdoor Living. A number of sections focus on the best way to build fireplaces, both indoors and out. Throughout are Meinecke's thoughts on ways to enjoy your new-found space, from hearty fireplace recipes to the types of wood for a perfect fire and the beauty found in birdsong.Practical as it may be, the book's enduring appeal owes in large part to its warmly engaging tone and firm belief in the restorative power
"Love this book" according to Joshua G.. Inspirational starting point for getting ready to build a cabin, whatever size, in the woods. The author puts you in control, only gives you tips and inspiration, not a step by step guide, which I found even more helpful. The book is oversized, intentionally giving you space in the margins to make notes. I hope to have this book on the shelf of my cabin in the woods one day.. Maverick Prince said One of a Kind and Classic Instructional Book. This treasure is one of those OLD, but revisited classics that was republished in a second and third printing as well it should be. In my opinion it is THE standard for building cabins. A gifted architect, long before blueprints became unreadable to the average layman, Conrad illustrates his text richly with VERY well-laid out cabin designs and illustrations that transport the reader to the sacred backwoods. Superbly and concisely written for the common man with a dream of "getting away from it all," I believe the only work similar in significance is the ethereal "One Man's Wilderness" in its original over-sized version with those extra. cmmorty said Great book. Even if you just came back from the woods this book would make you want to return very soon. It is a great look at not only how to build a cabin but how to enjoy it. It gives simple instructions on how to build stable buildings and how to really enjoy your time while doing it. It is a good philosophy to live by as well. It talked about why the early settlers of the west enjoyed their time so much and risked so much to obtain it. I read the whole book in two sittings and loved it. I often had to put it down because the thoughts it puts into your mind make you lose track very easily of the book, which I think every book should do.It was a
