Has anyone ever built something like this? And how?
>>789604
Looking at the photo I'd say apparantly yes.
Make a frame, in the second picture you can see how the supporting logs hold up the rectangular roof. Strip the bark off some logs and cut them to stack around the frame and fit snugly together. Build a fire place from rocks and clay and attach a chimney. Pile dirt and debris onto your hut, for insulation and build a fire pit from rocks and. Wait for grass and moss to grow on top of it.
What would one do to slow/minimize the decay of the wood in the structure caused by the humid climate in the soil? Is using a layer of plastic the only real solution or would a thick layer of soil and vegetation be dry closest to the planks, given that some sort of oven or stove is used frequently to drive out the moisture?
Btw. interesting thread OP

I think the guy who built the one in the picture built one, but maybe it's a photo shop

Given that the walls are really steeply sloped, they probably drain pretty okay. You could perhaps increase the drainage by having a rocky underlayer, maybe? Also using rot resistant wood like cedar might help. Also, there is treated wood, but again the chemicals used to treat the wood is not great if you are health-minded.

Reading this post I probably need to clarify that I mean a rocky underlayer under the sod part of the walls/roof.

These look fucking neat, OP. Just checked out their website and I think I know what my gf and I are gonna do for a weekend this summer.
Wait peeps will pay money to sleep in a shelter. Are any of you hipster goofs willing to pay money to come to my wood lot n build a bunch of these. Il even supply the saws n axes. Now I need to learn how to write a business plan n get a government grant. Imagine the money I could pull in with all the hipster woodsman wanna bees supplying free labour.

Honestly I bet you could get a business like this set up if you do it somewhere picturesque and use the right instagram filters when photographing the huts.
Hell, I'm tempted to build one of these little things for myself. I'm definitely gonna visit the area in OP's picture though

These are coalers huts. As the charring coal pile needed near constant tending for days on end, these were built adjacent so the coalers could work in shifts.
You often find remains of the hearths scattered troughout the forrests of mid and south sweden, usually with a crater nearby from the pile. Tar - a byproduct from making charcoal primarily from pine - was once swedens biggest source of income in terms of exported goods
>pic related, one in construction for some open air museum
