too fucken rad.
i think there should be a treehouse city. where you zipline to get from house to house. and i just thought of the scene from the original Hook movie with the lost boys or whatever they were called. they had a sick set up. random but just thought of it. id love to do this.
im so down.

im gonna start working on a self sufficient woods community starting this spring in Wisconsin. On lake superior. Beautiful area in the warm months. Cold as fuck for the winter months. Ill let all you know what i come up with once this summer comes around. In the future it will definately be open to visitors, and a midwest crust fest would definately be on the to do list as well. =p Wish me luck.

I think i know the perfect land to rent to do this as well. One of my dads friends has a piece of property he hardly uses anymore near the apple/berry fields and such. He used to use it as an old hippie type commune before he got somewhat rich and bought property in Hawaii. Theres a mess hall, and 2 houses atm, but no electricity. Getting electricity in there is my number one priority once i find out if i can use the land. Im thinking D.I.Y. Solar. Put the solar on One building each fall for cost reasons. Couldnt afford to do it all at once.

Everything in here sounds incredible! Would love to do this sort of thing.

who wants to start one?
in the middle of the woods, in the middle of nowhere. no capitalism, no authority. we'll grow fruits and vegetables, hunt, gather, steal shit from the nearest town occasionally. brew our own beer, grow our own weed. trade shit for other shit.

im completely serious

count my girlfriedn and i in, we are in Cali for a few months

i see a lot of enthusiasm and hopeful people to start this, i myself would like to do this,
we need to get a location picked out and then we can start from there,
dispersed camping is allowed in national forest for up to 14 days. but you just have to move to a different spot.

Yup! Totally down and totally for the California idea. Is this still in progress?

Nice idea. I'd like to check it out after it's well established. I can't imagine how hard it'd be to live in a treehouse in central Canada during the winter. I think I was 14 or 15 when I last worked on treehouses. I built one in a really old suburb, and the neighbors tried complaining about it, because although it wasn't uflly enclosed, I had already built 4 levels/platforms on two adjacent trees. Then we found out that we were the owners of the trees between us, and so it was never an issue.

I think a treehouse would be a great addition to the community rather than making it the main area.
Get your shit right on the ground before you start diving into building a treehouse.

I've definitely always wanted to do this and you can count me in depending on the location.

this is fucking awesome. i'd love to take part if i can, (depends on where and when, both for myself and the treehouse commune, but yerrr.)

I'd say you could use my woods but theirs pros and cons to this.
con-1 its not in cali its in central oklahoma
con-2 you need a vehicle to get to town to get supplies and spange, you could try to hitch but I dont think the rednecks out here will pick up a dirty crust kid
con-3 the treehouse idea might not work to good since every couple of years we get a really bad ice storm that does major damage to the trees (just had one in jan.)
con-4 cottonmouth snakes (mean little venomous sons of bitches) but I have a poison sucking kit
pro-1 only police you have to worry about out here in the sheriff and he cant do anything if I'm giving you permission to be on my land
pro-2 my neighbor has a pond (think its spring feed) just on the other side of the fence that drains under the fence onto my property and created a huge ravine running thru the woods
pro-3 already have a fire pit/stove/grill set up as well as one shitter dug
pro-4 currently working on starting some crops
pro-5 also have a half demolished house that still has 4 rooms (just needs a little cleaning and not a bad squat)

Hey could you give a gps to that location? PM me. What is the closest Indian reservation?

So what's up with this now, is it still in the works? I'd defiantly be down to put work in if it's in Cali, or somewhere else too doesn't matter, it would just take less time in California sense I'm already here. I have a close friend who used to build houses, unfortunately he's sorta stuck slave waging and paying bills and has no interest in doing anything else.

This sounds really fuckin' awesome.

 

[Nagrom]

sounds like an awesome idea, really hope it works out.

Where in San Diego will that take place? I'll be there towards the end of summer and would love to get involved.

 

[LeeevinKansas]

none of this will happen until ppl actually take action to make it happen. as in get off your butts and meet up. bc this thread sbeen around for awhile, sure sure people will get on from time to time saying it looks fun and lets do it gung ho attitude but aint gonna happen till u start moving.

 

[nivoldoog]

I am heading back to san diego at the end of the month, and would like to grab up at much rope I can find and head out to one of the nation parks, I dont know the area very well so not sure where one can/if be built.

Step One, Scope the Woods
Step Two, Get ALOT of Rope
Step Three, Drag a bunch of shit into the trees...
