Building A Beautiful Treehouse In The Forest Alone - Part 1

In this series I build an off grid treehouse cabin in the forest. I build in a sustainable and ecological way in the wilderness and nature.

I’m Ruud. I am a designer and filmmaker from The Netherlands. I build and make things. This is the first episode of The Treehouse Experiment on my channel Building in Nature.

The treehouse is built in a big beautiful oak tree. In this episode I also make the tree connection. I feel the available solutions are expensive so I designed an affordable solution for a DIY treehouse TAB (Treehouse Attachment Bolt) and install it in the tree. This design has no negative impact on the health of the tree.

I hope you enjoy the building process! Have a nice day!
