{"product_id":"9781626549913","title":"Your Cabin in the Woods","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe techniques of cabin building described here are derived and updated from the American pioneers, a spirit Conrad \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeinecke fully possessed. The cabins he outlines, from the simple framed tent and two-man squatter to the long house and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efive-room family cabin, are all built of natural building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Cabin in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e covers all aspects of cabin building: from where to build it and which direction to face \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eit, to furnishings, plumbing, and outdoor equipment. The measured diagrams, floor plans, and cross-sections are clear, well \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edetailed, and accompanied by directions. Meinecke explains the proper use of tools and how to avoid potential problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeinecke also elaborates on building fireplaces-from the simple outdoor campfire to the well-appointed indoor hearth. He \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprovides detail about fires for heat and cooking, describing the use of such implements as the cooking reflector and the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewash boiler. He even offers recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eYour Cabin in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e is lively and conversational. It is as if Meinecke is talking with you around a campfire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfused with an altruistic spirit, his philosophy is direct and homespun. He emphasizes communion with and respect for \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enature, and includes a section dispelling fears and myths about the elements, insects, and small animals. He sees nature as \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esacred and advocates a simple,contemplative life. What sets this book apart is its mix of practicality and philosophy. Even \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eif you don't use the exact building plans presented in \u003ci\u003eYour Cabin in the Woods\u003c\/i\u003e, you will come away with a deeper \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstanding of cabins. This will help you become a better builder, as well as give you a deeper appreciation of the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epleasures that cabins offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these crowded and hyper-paced times, a simple cabin offers a nest away from the bustle and expense of the city and \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esuburbs. Meinecke provides practical, affordable, and sane advice on how to make our own little heaven in the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echo Point Books \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062514303216,"sku":"9781626549913","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626549913_p0.jpg?v=1763862585","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626549913","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
