@Honken i think its because many cabins survived for a long time because they are located in the nothern area. bugs dont like the cold weather; therefore, they die and woods last longer
and present day. There is no such thing as time, only change.
wood takes a long time to weaken. You'll be good for a long time.
well do it in your country and make yours' cool!
Are there any information of how and when did the trees were cut down? For the wooden constructs were far more resistent than the ones now a days . I´ve seen roof queen post 60ft long and more dating 900 year … take care all
An interesting video, thanks
The dude in the white shirt looks like he's going to open up his leg with that axe!!!!!!
You should setup a charity to teach this in Africa
Great video! Thank you!
How is this wood treated afterwards? I've seen a lot of long term shelters been done with untreated wood buried in the earth and so on but I've always been told that this wood deteriorate rapidly if left untreated.
