He’s carrying a duck I bought at Costco ($15), which we cooked for dinner. Every time I ride across the river on the cable, my heart’s in my mouth. The river is high and rushing right now.
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:
My gosh..Truly it sounds wonderful…but I could not do it…I am a scardy cat..
Is there another way into his place, or is this cable it?
Wait, what? A 500 foot cable is his driveway? More info please!
Louie's cabin is across a river. In winter, when water is high, only access is on a bosun's chair on the cable. You take off from a 30' high tower and go by gravity to the other side. There is another cable for the return trip.
There are a few videos of Lloyd riding the cable on youtube.
