In Siberia, there are some indigenous peoples who continue to live as they have for hundreds or thousands of years.  One such is the Evenks, who are nomadic and live off reindeer (both domesticated and wild) and they build a teepee-shaped houses out of wood and cover it in skins.  When they move on they take the skins with them.  They also have other clever innovations with could provide inspiration for the British woodland owner, such as a “fridge” built high up so as to be out of reach of animals, and they have clever animal traps made with logs.  Some of these seem to be intended to crush the animal and others to trap it (images below).

One tradition they have is that instead of burning their dead or cremating them they leave them on high platforms so that the corpse can be eaten by birds.  This particular idea may be less useful to the British woodsman and might even be frowned upon, especially in the Home Counties.  The traditions of carving in birch have been retained by the Siberians and many birch gifts are available at stalls and shops for tourists.  The Evenks or Evenki are now mostly living in Russia and China and a few groups still maintain the old way of life.

In Mongolia two out of three million people are nomadic, living in gers (yurts) and they have developed many ways of using timber.  The most important is to make the trellis-like walls for the ger which need to be strong and foldable but not so heavy that moving is difficult.  They also have roof slats and pillars to support the ring as the top which is used as a chimney and vent.  Typically a Mongolian will move his Ger four times each year.
Recent shortages of trees and the desire to increase tree-cover has caused the Mongolians to introduce laws which stop the nomads from cutting trees for firewood, though they can still use fallen branches.
