Would You Live in a Treehouse?

Would you live in a treehouse? The appeal is obvious to any kid, but it can seem like a daunting idea for adults. Nevertheless, cultural interest has erupted in recent years. You can vacation at a "treesort," or watch a reality show about treetop architecture, or even rent a room in a treehouse on Airbnb.
In this short documentary, we interview people who build, live in, and love treehouses. These are far from the forts of childhood memory, though. They employ artificial limbs for support, boast both plumbing and running water, and wouldn't look out of place in luxury lifestyle magazines. "Treehouses are becoming more and more adult," says Michael Garnier, a treehouse building pioneer. "They're not just for kids anymore."

Can't seem to help but be bothered by the whole "Treehouses are becoming adult" and "they aren't just for kids anymore."... At the end, Mr. Garnier hits it on the head: "An adult is just an older kid... 15, or 45, you can still have a treehouse" Exactly. It's not like treehouses changed. Perhaps, we adults are just starting to "grow up" and we're realizing we take our lives too seriously.. Anyway, this was fun video and a great concept. Lovin it.

Work kills us. We didn't evolve to live most of our lives doing the exact same task in the exact same location, being obedient to bosses and bossing around others. The more time you spend not looking busy and serious at work, the less likely you are to get promoted. That behavior bleeds into our lives outside of work and we are too exhausted to have adventures, except on vacations, which are too brief and many can't afford to really go anywhere that exciting (most often it's used to see family).

I agree. I just turned 46 and I would definitely live in a tree house in a heartbeat...sometimes i do take myself a little too seriously when it comes to certain things but when it comes to stuff like this...no way. I love tree houses and just being cozy

A real house uses far more trees, plastic, metal, glass, fabric, etc.. I would think they have less impact on mother nature then even any average size home.

I love these houses, especially the bigger ones. Just tell me, please, what happens when there's a huge storm, thunderstorm, gale force winds, heavy rains, etc. What happens if thunder strikes the tree, does it set the house on fire? What precautions do you do to prevent the house from total destruction in a huge storm?

@martindithers9570 2 жыл бұрын

You mean Lightning strikes (not thunder)? and I think weather, lightning, fire, are just about as much a concern as with a regular house. It's just that with a tree as a base. Trees are very sturdy and they don't fall down unless there's something wrong with them even in "gale force winds" but I've seen in several videos about multi-tree treehouses they make a static attachment to one tree but make a flexible attachment on the other threes.
