	Description:	A complete 'do-it-yourself' guide on how to plan, build and enjoy your small cabin - in simple terms. A collection of personal experience and useful resources - cabin construction, off-grid living, heating, solar power, nature and picture gallery.
	Details:	We love outdoors. We had many camping and nature exploration trips, trail hiking, and just short visits to the nature conservation areas and wilderness parks. Building a small cabin in the wilderness was really a natural extension of our outdoor pursuits. When I started to build my small cabin I searched for various bits of information, but could not find a one concise, clear and complete guide on how to build a small cabin or a small cottage using my own skills and resources. This web site aims to be such guide. The main objectives when building a small cabin were: - Easy to build yourself - no special skill required - Use of easily available building materials - Low cost - Simplicity of cabin design and structure - Short construction time - No building permit required (optional). - To have a feel of great outdoor living and wilderness experience. I do not promote any cabin building kit, material supplier, construction business or service provider, but I will mention particular things I used. I built my small cabin from scratch, using materials easily available from local building material suppliers, and without any special skills or training. But I did my research homework!
