Title: Hand made log Cabin with grass roof...
Post by: nrob on June 30, 2011
Not quite sure if it's bushcaft?

However it's a log cabin, built for the boys. Its been entirely saddle notched by hammer, chisel and axe!

Materials, only timber, nails, and unfortunately in the absence of birch bark, roofing felt prior to the grass/turf roof.

Here is a link to the Youtube Vids...
