Two brothers float down a river in a homemade shack, catch catfish, tell bad jokes, and play good blugrass music. This is SO good! (Link sent me by Kevin Kelly.)
“There’s somethin’ about the smell of coffee perkin’,
and coal-oil lamps a-burnin’,
Just reminds me of when I was a kid.
I could come down here and turn the radio on, and light coal-oil lanterns, and build a fire in the stove,
And listen to the Grand Ol Opery on Saturday night.
Man, I’m tellin’ you, makes me feel like I was a kid again…”

About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
