It’s hard to decide. Of
course wofatis have to
be nice, and of course I want to live in a hobbit hole!—but the plastic is what really bothers me, and the damp that would probably result from leaving it out is just awful. (Some have suggested layered birch bark and clay though, which might be better. I think the
native people of the plains use a thick layer of thatch to hold up their earthen roofs, but how that would hold up in the wet Vermont climate (where every single hole or dip fills up with
water by spring). But a tree house sounds a lot more dangerous and less harder to keep warm.
