i`m with you brother! i started my tree house 10 yrs. ago when we were building are vacation home in the sierras. started out as a platform in the air about 6-12ft. on slope with are tent. then after the main cabin was finished i started my little cabin in the woods. grandkids love it ! and we feel more secure being off the ground with the bears.. (great job phil) keep it in the treetops!...
God Bless all of you people protecting the trees in Oregon, and California, now that the fires have raged through the forests, I hope you guys are safe
this guys must have some money. That's a hell of a job. Nobody helped him for free. Plumbing the entire trails leading to each treehouse is a lot of work. Not to mention the electrical work.
Kirsten: Do you worry about the health those trees? Phil: Yeah, always. ... Hm. Yeah. It's alive. It's live. ... Definitely, you know ... Give her a hug when you come in ... make sure she's alright. : )
As always Kirsten, Beautiful! Talking about moving and creaking wood on a boat; build a boat house in the trees and call it "the Ark". It can be big enough to have a mini observation Deck for star gazing. Just a idea. Love the woods, just Not all the spiders that might come with it. lol :-)
(I've spent over 20 years trimming trees and hedges.. so this is a topic I am an authority on..) Inside this video, you talk about ongoing sap dripping. Just so you know.. the reason your tree limb cuts are still emitting pitch is because you DIDN'T cut the limb right up against the branch "collar". Depending on the width of the branch at the collar, because these trees are either Fir or Pine (depending on the treehouse in the video.. regardless, because they are all LARGE conifers,) their limb cuts CAN take years to 'heal'.. ***BUT*** the ***ONLY*** way a branch-cut can heal over fully (and the sap to stop dripping) is for the branch to be cut off RIGHT at the collar. >>>>The "collar" is that ring of ruffled bark that surrounds the limb, right at the tree trunk. When cutting a limb on any tree, the way you do it so that the tree can self-heal the wound is to make the limb-cut as close to that collar as possible... and I do mean CLOSE! Any branch-protrusion will either greatly slow or *prevent* the bark from 'knowing' it should be trying to stretch itself around the wound opening. Cutting at the collar allows the tree's self-healing process to begin - where the bark can begin to creep across the open wound. It is slightly controversial as to whether or not you want to 'rough-up' the leading edge of the bark to 'wake-it-up' so-to-speak and make the tree realize the bark needs to close the wound. Professionally trained Arborists will **all** tell you to NOT cut into the collar. And some will tell you not to cut into it whatsoever, but I've found in many cases that gently roughing up (cutting into the collar by maybe a 1/16th of an inch.. but barely opening up the lighter inner bark color) will cause the healing process to become "alerted" and I think this works better.. but again, you shouldn't cut into the collar by more than about a 1/16th of an inch, or half the width of a panel saw blade. More than this will cause further injury.. and with that will also come greater sap-drip problems. Knowing there are two schools of thought about how close to make the cut to the collar, and that BOTH considerations still stick with the school of thought that you shouldn't cut deep into the collar, you decide. It's your call from here... just go back and re-cut these limb stubs off flush, and then in a few years, you'll begin to see the bark begin to close the wound. On large limbs, it could still take 20 years (depending on your climate there) for the wound to close - but it will never close at all with a stub sticking out. Another thing you could do with these is to build a small drip can -- shaped to fit close to the tree trunk, and then nailed into the branch to catch the drips instead of them oozing onto the floors or dripping down the trunk, where people's clothing can get caught on it. Lastly.. for that consideration..(when you get pitch on your skin or clothing..) The universal solvent for pitch removal is a two step process. 1st.. pitch dissolves in butter or margarine. Take a dab of butter/margarine that is only slightly larger than the same size as the pitch smudge, and rub it into the sticky area. 2nd.. once the pitch is removed (especially in clothing) then immediately wash out the butter (stain) with liquid dish soap, (and if it's a garment and not just cleaning your hands) then run the garment through the laundry as quickly as possible thereafter, and the butter stain should be taken care of as well.

Those tree houses are just stunning. Beautiful work, nice design, well thought out, really incredible. I'm just not sure I could be sleeping in a loft like that and have a locust be crawling on me! ;-) Seems like you could shove cotton or some kind of fiber in those holes to keep bugs out and yet still let the tree breathe and expand. What a great vision. Really love these videos, they are always so interesting and fun to watch .... really fire the imagination. What am I going to do to live in an interesting way?
these tree houses are amazing. my only issue would be the thought of waking up to bugs because it would be more of a frequent thing or so it would seem but other than that they are really nice.
Awesome but do you not worry about forest fires, my comment are made as I have lived in Australia for last 20 years including some massive fire devastation from 2 years ago, I know some parts of US also suffer in summer
please tell me this is not to far from Baltimore and he rents them out for a weekend or so I would love to at least take a tore please lol let me work for you!!!!!! I'm 23 male and I'm 6ft 4in tall and I'm strong I love the woods and o spend to much time there I would be the greatest help he would ever have willing to work my ass off!!!!!!
i told that maple syrup they move holes because heal shut so at some point should heal over. not sure if be inside house never thinks it winter if why hasn't healed over ?
`the city came down right away to let me know TO PAY everybody awful covinence.even in a forest ,what has the world come to...if one tree grows faster than the other um i guess it crumbles....eeekk
Very insparing! Thanks for organizing this beautiful meeting with Charles. Such a caracter!

Amazing! I would absolutely love to live in one of those things now that retirement is happening, surrounded by woods and beauty day after day.
It looks pretty amazing I like it! Especially with the big tree in the inside. I can nearly smell the inside of the tree house.
Kirsten, your channel is one of the most interesting on RUclips. This is awesome.
That's a Mormon Cricket with the upswept "tail".
Neat tree houses.
Very nice. Like being a kid again.
Great little tree house!

Fantastic; thanks for sharing this on RUclips!

I love them but Those had to be pretty pricey. What happens if one of the trees dies or gets diseased?
i would think that he would build some sort of support so it could keep the cabins standing
Please show me your plumbing system, for the additional knowledge. 😊
The best of Oregon, maybe the planet.

I know Im quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Gianni Jerry I watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Luka Larry Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
@Luka Larry thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!
@Gianni Jerry Happy to help :)
MARAVILLOSO VIDEO....MUY ILUSTRATIVO....TE FELICITO KIRSTEN....THANK YOU.
Where are these in Oregon? If I make a trip out there, I'd love to stay in one! But the locusts.....oh, those would freak me out!
Increíble, felicitaciones !!

I just need the right Kitty Cat..that wouldn't use your support beam as a scratching post.
if you dont like living with bugs, living in a tree house would not be for you.
per sebra
Based on the area he lives in. And my experience where I live. *which is similar*. It don't matter. the damn bugs come in anyways..lol
this is so cool!
What a nice place!
nice nice nice. i can only dream about it for now
Really neat.
Amazing! What kind of wood is that, used in the bathroom's wall, behind the toilet bowl, at 6:37?
I wouldn't like how 'connected' it is if you're going to have a tree house might as well make it off the grid. But these really are cool!
Love their styles but wouldn't like to be there in a thunder storm in the middle of those tall tress Lol.
really nice
KIRSTEN ....Una pregunta....como funciona el sistema de desague ?
as the drainage system work? thanks.
these tree houses are amazing. my only issue would be the thought of waking up to bugs because it would be more of a frequent thing or so it would seem but other than that they are really nice.
There are herbs you can put in the tree house growing that can help with that. Or there is education to learn to like bugs
how much do your rent these out for?
Do you have any issues with water pipes freezing?
My husband's a landscaper, he says put mud on the sap spots... it lasts longer than a year.
So I'm assuming they are renting these out then ? Does anyone know any more about this place and where it is ?
Better hope they do not get a bad ice storm .Those pines will load up and break .
WOW LOVE IT LOVE TO LIVE IN IT AND NEVER LIVE
amazing
The tree wouldn't weep as bad if they had resined it right after cutting it, or painted it.
When it gets really windy or stormy the whole house must move,
So, does he own that land or did he just go out into the woods and build it? How does that work O_o
lol nvm
how do all of them got electricity in the middle of nowhere? xD
im refering also to the zen house
can you stay in these?
Awesome but do you not worry about forest fires, my comment are made as I have lived in Australia for last 20 years including some massive fire devastation from 2 years ago, I know some parts of US also suffer in summer
I want to help build the sky pilot!!
Why not span a platform between trees instead of a tree inside the house.
Any bigfoot sightings in those woods?
Could someone please answer everyone's questions?
Can't really hear it, but nevertheless I'd love to have it.
please tell me this is not to far from Baltimore and he rents them out for a weekend or so I would love to at least take a tore please lol let me work for you!!!!!! I'm 23 male and I'm 6ft 4in tall and I'm strong I love the woods and o spend to much time there I would be the greatest help he would ever have willing to work my ass off!!!!!!
lol make maple sirup. think if paint it or glue bird over it should stop it dripping sape
i told that maple syrup they move holes because heal shut so at some point should heal over. not sure if be inside house never thinks it winter if why hasn't healed over ?
E idea gor hotel rooms in the forest :3♡♡♥♥♡♡♥♥
床下は鉄骨も使ってるんですね
素晴らしい家です （＾◇＾）
I bet in the summer the mosquitoes are awful.
radical
I don't like how he caught the locust
I don't either. He should have killed it... it's a bug.
like but rather have it dug into solid ground
Ewok`s come to mind
An Woody Woodpecker House.
It's nice but there are better ones out there
I "got trees"
ça donne de méditer et de se recueillir loin de la civilisation agressive
The trees may live now, but they will be dead in 10-15 years...
You ever see Bigfoot
:)
it will fall !!!! sad
lol
minecraft
meh
`the city came down right away to let me know TO PAY everybody awful covinence.even in a forest ,what has the world come to...if one tree grows faster than the other um i guess it crumbles....eeekk
