A Classic Vintage Handbook Log Cabin Lifestyle, Construction, and Furnishing!
This deluxe unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of cabin master Oliver Kemp's classic manual Wilderness Homes is full of classic tips and methods for making your own cozy escape cabin in the wilderness. Originally published in 1908, this vintage book is a great addition to the library of any camper or outdoorsperson, as well as hunters, fishers, wilderness regulars, and bushcrafters!
True frontier cabins used to be simple one- or two-room buildings that could be constructed by one or two people! Learn some of the timeless tips of wilderness living from Kemp, sharing his experience of hand making cabins and furnishings. Kemp's old-time discussions in this book include how to make plans for building your cabin in the wilds, designing a fireplace, how to use axes and woods tools, how to construct cabins by hand, common roof and floor construction methods, and how create a great environment for your cabin through decor.
Also included are layouts for cabins of many types, full-page plate photographs from 1908, and gorgeous line-art illustrations of cabins and plans for design.
Decorate your cabin space or hunting lodge in the traditional way, with rustic furniture and decor fit for your wilderness escape.
This vintage book includes timeless knowledge about cabin lore, which has largely been lost to time, but never forgotten by the old masters. Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of wilderness cabin life, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today!

About the Doublebit Press Legacy Editions
Sometimes we need to remember our history to move forward. Sometimes, remembering our heritage is just fun or inspirational. With technology playing a major role in everyday life, sometimes we need to take a step back in time to find those basic building blocks used for gaining mastery - the things that we have luckily not completely lost and has been recorded in books over the last two centuries. These skills aren't forgotten, they've just been shelved. It's time to unshelve them once again and reclaim the lost knowledge of self-sufficiency!
As a part of the Doublebit Press Legacy Edition Collection, this unabridged volume is reprinted in the exact form as it was presented in the original publication. Both important and minor details have equally both been accounted for by our publishing staff, down to the cover, font, layout, and images. It is the goal of Doublebit Legacy Edition series to preserve outdoors heritage, but also be cherished as collectible pieces, worthy of collection in any handcrafter's or outdoorsperson's library and that can be passed to future generations.
