Logs last...A great many of these structures were built by men with absolutely NO formal education! Back then, you learned from those folks who knew how to do it and who Were Doing it. No classroom, no book...
Real knowledge and skills come from Doing something. Sure, you can learn a lot about something, but until You Do it, it's semi-useless knowledge. Read how to tie a fishing knot and then put the book aside, closed, and then try to tie that knot. Once you've tied it a few times, it becomes, YOUR knowledge and your skill level can then go up from there. We've Gotta Do things in life! Don't spend your life on a couch or in an easy chair. Well, that's one of my motto's anyway. :-)
I would love to see some kind of plan, where say, a group of poor folks build a handful of these older type structures out in the back 40 somewhere, on free Government owned land or a remote section of a vast park, just to prove it can all still be done...
Cheers!
