How Victor Davis Hanson Gave My DIY A-Frame Tiny Cabin Purpose

In this segment I talk about why a tiny cabin building project makes life better. Drawing on the wisdom of people like Victor Davis Hanson and Jordan B. Peterson, I talk about how an extended, challenging DIY project – complete with pitfalls and setbacks to overcome – creates a framework for meaning and happiness.

My DIY tiny cabin construction project is the start of what I hope to further develop into a self-sufficient backyard homestead, including a sustenance / survival garden, as well as composting and rainwater collection systems... Maybe a chicken coop and bees too – because you can never be too prepared.
