>>1220621I'm a fisherman year round all over the west coast but plan on building my own house on mainland Alaska or Kodiak island before I buy my own seiner.
It is for hipsters and faggots right now, but I'm not. Building my house will teach me things I can teach my kids one day, and I may be 20 years old but I'm making 6 figures a year and could easily afford to buy a house in some bugmen cockpit but I'd rather die than bring life into a place like that.
I want my kids to have a creek for fishing, want them to cut down a tree using an axe, or go hunting with me only a few miles from where we sleep.
Hippy faggots go green in the woods because they think it makes them men, same reason they grow disgusting beards for fun.
Going rustic isn't hard if you're experienced in common sense, everything else you need to know about building a house can be found in a library or online.
Life isn't about being comfortable, you cannot be happy without sadness, and having adversity every day is an essential part of happiness, which is why a rustic lifestyle is perfect for a traditional family atmosphere.
