It definitely grounds the kids to be familiar and comfortable with the outdoors.
My land is in the middle of the National Forest and we estimate that we have about 1 million trees including fir, pines, oak, madrone and more. We can't sell our logs and we don't want to but we can use all we want for building on our own property. My first cabin will be small. I am planning on getting at least an Alaska mill to cut planks and would eventually like to get a Lucas mill and make some serious lumber for a major cabin. I should be able to get the post and pile floor started this spring but when growing season starts most of my time is dedicated to that.
Most of the summer I am alone on my land so my plants keep me thoroughly busy. It is honest work and does keep me in great shape. Just having to camp all the time is work with chopping firewood, cooking and cleaning and such. But I should be able to complete the cabin by early summer. I will send pics later this spring.
