Description

Now, everyone can have the refuge they want—a getaway beside a trout-filled stream, near a bass-laden lake, or by a mountain trail with a breathtaking view.

This ultimate resource includes photos, blueprints, and diagrams, and covers the steps to constructing the cabin you've always wanted such as:
 

  • Selecting a site
  • Gathering construction materials
  • Deciding on a design that is right for you
  • Managing your property
  • Building add-ons, including shooting ranges, an outhouse, or an outside fire ring
  • Installing cabin security
  • And more!

For generations, nature lovers, writers, and sportsmen have found an escape from their day-to-day world in living closer to nature. J. Wayne Fears offers a complete guide to building without the hassle of a construction crew or outrageous costs.
