Wow, check the photos.

It took months to find the right tree to build on, and when he did the spot was on public land looking down on a row of multi-million dollar homes.

But that didn't stop Joel Allen - he just built this incredible egg-shaped treehouse in Canada anyway, without telling anyone.

The computer technician-turned-carpenter started off by creating a scale model of his design to test its strength and durability, before beginning the months-long quest to find the perfect tree.

The way he attached the house to the tree is not healthy for the tree. Driving spikes into a tree is never good for the tree. Then he built this egg shape that will not allow enough room for the tree to grow (thicken).

Its a nice idea, but poorly rendered. Worse, he spends all of these thousands on something he can't own and most likely is breaking several laws to build.

Stupid really.

Personaly I don't give a flying fuck about the Queen or her property. You stupid fucking yank, you should know better. You stole a whole country from that drug dealing bitch.

Then you made the mistake of replacing her with your own version of "the crown." Not too smart yank. So fuck off and keep your lickspittle opinions to yourself.

Very nice, is it safe for the tree. This reminds me of Ewok village.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

It was built on crown property. If you think the crownshould own the land then we are at odds.

Re: 'Squatter' secretly builds incredible (but thoroughly illegal) treehouse hidden in Canada's Whistler forest just yards from multi-mill

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address

Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

Like so many wonderful accomplishments, the HemLoft sprang from broken dreams. Joel Allen was in his mid 20s, working for a social media startup in Whistler, B.C., when the company went out of business. Dream one, dead. He decided to retire at age 26 by crowdsourcing the funding for his new life of leisure, but that didn’t work out, either. Dream two, dead.

In the space that was left, he became a carpenter, found a friend and mentor in an aging hippie named Old Man John, and tramped the woods around Whistler until he knew them intimately. His story is long (and beautifully told at thehemloft.com), but the short version is that these threads came together as inspiration to build a treehouse — but not just any treehouse, a house that meshed organically with the environment and was a thing of beauty to the eye and spirit.

Putting it on Youtube when you're on someone else's property probably wasn't the best idea in the world.

The word "discrete" springs to mind.
