Living the Rustic Life in a Log Cabin Alone in the Wilderness – Hand-Built Roof

Living alone in a log cabin deep in the wilderness is a dream rooted in simplicity and self-reliance. Constructing my own roof from rough-hewn timber and hand-cut wooden shakes was both challenging and rewarding. Each beam, fitted with care, formed a sturdy shelter that blends seamlessly with nature. The rhythmic pounding of nails and scent of fresh lumber connected me to a timeless tradition of craftsmanship. This hand-built roof not only protects me from the elements but symbolizes independence and harmony with the land—an essential part of the rustic life I’ve chosen.
