/diy/ - Do It Yourself

How much money would it cost to:

1. Buy land somewhere remote like the Alaskan wilderness

2. Build a fully equipped, liveable log cabin there

Sounds cool, but Dick Proenneke did all that (including filming it) by himself.

tips would be cool :\

"Dick Proenneke built his cabin using only hand tools, no backhoes, no chainsaws, no electric drill, just hand powered tools. Dick even made many of his tools himself.

Dick's cabin measured 11' by 14'. It had a gravel floor, windows, a dutch door, a fireplace, and a moss covered waterproof roof. He had to build all his own furniture too, chairs, tables, desk and his bunk. He also built a cache to store his food out of the reach of the animals."

Oh, and he started this project at 51, and only moved out at the age of 82 because the -50 degree winters were becoming too much for him.
