I’m 32. I’d totally build a tree house.
Happy cake day!
Wish I could afford land with a view like that. But I can’t afford a maserati either.
Those poorly driven nails are going to come back to haunt him. And by haunt, I mean tetanus in the foot.
Chill and wholesome until “dating a 29 year old” was compared to buying a Maserati.
Full body ick.
The treehouse thing is good though.
Maybe the point is that to both of these are status symbols even though deplorable (both actually but the dating a 29 year old moreso)
It’s a common trope of the male midlife crisis.
You either buy an expensive car, get a young girlfriend, get body work and party, alternative lifestyle and fitness or go hippie.
I prefer the other Maserati, if you know who I mean
As someone looking for a beanbag chair as of yesterday, I would love input from anyone here for a new one. I had been looking at Lovesac but i feel like it’s mostly hype, and i just don’t know if i can swallow that high of a cost for a beanbag chair… Advice?
My partner and I have an ultimate sack beanbag. They’re very comfy and also very affordable. Highly recommend.
Idk if this is good advice, but I’ve bought refill for beanbags for my kids a few times. It’s pretty messy, but I genuinely don’t think there’s much you can do to make them last longer. Just add more beans.
While this is great, and I vastly prefer it over a Maserati. Maserati’s do not hold value, even a 5 or 6 year old one is well within an average budget, they are awesome cars (i think) for a project vehicle if thats your thing.
I am so fucking sick of media encouraging people to build permanent structures in forests. It’s incredibly destructive to the ecosystem and almost guaranteed to be illegal. We have so little nature left, stop using it to replace therapy.
I would have assumed he owned the land. Probably cheaper than the car, but not exactly cheap.
Eh, I wish the guy had someone to watch the sunrise/sunset with. I’d sit with him.
I had the luck of being fortunate/privileged, on a “good track,” and being acquainted with a lot of fortunate people… once.
Sports cars suck if you only drive places you dread, alone.
A younger SO can be draining and awful if they aren’t your friend too. I’ve only witnessed that (not lived it), but I witnessed it a. Lot. Up close.
Having lost friends too, I’d rather have them back than my car, or a lopsided date, or a lonely treehouse. Hell, my life would be halfway together if I had actually leaned on friends.
Realizing that myself, ouch.
As much as it is valid to poke fun at preppers, I’m sure a lot of them just want an excuse to build the treehouse they couldn’t when they were kids, and I can respect that.
This artist gives me emotional whiplash. I can never tell if it’s going to be something sublimely wholesome and introspective, or like… a dead dog hanging on a noose.
Most accessible public land in the US allows you to camp in any one spot for a max of 14 days and forbids you from doing stuff like hammering a bunch of nails into a tree that will likely end up in a sawmill. Either this dude privately owns a nice big tract of undeveloped forest (Actually possible, 10 acres costs less than a Maserati in some places) or some BLM ranger is gonna be real pissed.
10 acres is also a lot more than you need for a treehouse! UK here, smaller woodland you could get for under £50k. Unfortunately you can’t legally live in it, I would rather be doing that instead of paying a mortgage.
I read that as black lives matter-ranger. I now learned that it stands for bureau of land management.
I love that this comment gets made every time I see the Bureau of Land Management mentioned somewhere.
Guess it was my turn as part of the lucky 10000
I know a lot of people make an effort to use ropes instead of nails for the initial framework so that you don’t nail anything to the tree. With that in mind, if you’re good at it, you can legally build a pretty cool treehouse in a short while in a public forest, and just move it to a different tree within 14 days.
Yeah I think that would actually be completely legal, because I know there are campers who make spiderweb-style treenets for camping off the ground. Same concept: Lots of ropes and nothing permanently secured to the tree.
Nice to know that I shouldn’t try to identify with the harmless man just trying to make his own fun.
That’s a thousand times better than a car. I wish I was this guys friend.
The Maserati falls apart the moment you’d drive off the lot. So a tree house is a million times better than a Maserati.
Not if he doesn’t change that ladder. A, it can kill the tree to nail into it like that, and B, those nails can also work themselves out, especially wet, windy, or even dry. Basically anything that stresses the tree.
Anyway, the board usually doesn’t fall out on its own. The most common time for it to give out is suddenly and unpredictably while someone is climbing on it.
Wonderful.
