Sweden: Giving you a new way to “sleep in the woods”

Written by megadestructo / January 27, 2012 4:07 pm / 7 Comments

How does one reconnect with nature while enjoying the comforts of modern living? Treehotel in Harads, a small village in northern Sweden, has the answer.

First opened in July 2010, the hotel is made up of five tree-rooms with the expectation to build to 24 by the end of 2012. Owners Britta and Kent Lindvall have set to blend the rooms perfectly into their natural environment while making a minimal ecological footprint. This is certainly very cool and has put the village of 600 on the tourism map, bringing in some high-end business for those who wish to be with nature but avoid the bugs and pine needles and such. I wonder if the guests all say they “going camping.” Either way, they’re truly a triumph of modern design and are certainly very cool.

There was a time when the VHS recorder was likened to a serial killer and the American public its victim.

Seems like so much hogwash now as how else would we have bought, rented, and enjoyed so many movies and shows at home? Prepare for round 2 as two new bills under contest, PIPA and SOPA, are looking to do the same to the internet and all its content. Things like this blog and its comments would be shut down because of potential “intellectual property violation.” Call your local representative and let them know you aren’t a thief and that you don’t like to be treated as one.

There’s a great video after the break that explains in detail.

This is what happens when Seattle gets snow…

I will say that everyone around here seems to lose their marbles at the first snowfall, like they all forgot that the sky did the exact same thing last year.
