Woodsmen have traditionally, from time to time, become resident in woodlands, for example, as when they tended charcoal heaps or as bodgers producing parts for Windsor Chairs.

The hut historically employed by shepherds might provide a nice modern day woodland base.

These are rarely available to buy second hand

Image

however new facismile versions can still be purchased today.

Image

If the roof were fitted with gutters then rainwater could be harvested

Image

The interior can be simple and functional or quite luxurious or even fitted with a stove to facilitate overnight stays.

An alternative to the Shepherds Hut is an early wooden caravan.

These tend to have been made for Victorian upper class use in country settings and were equipped with interior cooking facilities.
