Mulfinger, a noted architect who specializes in rural getaways, explains the basics of what he calls "cabinology," which is the skills needed to plan, build and equip a viable cabin in the middle of the woods. The author provides several approaches to the building of cabins based upon their intended purpose (fishing, hunting, skiing) and the level of comfort required by the residents (plumbing, electricity, space). Considerations for building materials are explained, as are provisions for septic tanks, wells, stoves and fireplaces. The author also explains the practical skills needed to survive in cabins, such as the ability to build a fire, live off the land, commune with nature and even make a decent crepe.
