Personal Security


“Easy in Easy out”

In times of emergencies the ability to “get into or out of” a situation is your most valuable asset. Tree House Tribe is fortunate to be located in an area that has multiple roads coming in and going out. Also it is within walking distance of the border between Panama and Costa Rica.



Another factor that makes our location so special, is the Border Garrison located in our town. We enjoy the protection of these soldiers who patrol the border. When they are on my road, I often invite them in for coffee and thank them for their presence.








Energy Security


Retreat communities are generally offgrid and are NOT dependent upon others for their energy needs .

In fact, there is a phrase in Spanish “Trabajando con las uñas” that translates to a man working with no tools only with his finger nails. This was a perfect example for that phrase. Orangutan, started his ascent with a small plastic bag filled with stones and a string around it. His technique was to spin the sack of stones and fling it up over a branch. He reminded me of David vs Goliath. After the sack had cleared the branch and came back to Orangutan, he would attach a small string to a rope. He was now able to pull the rope up over the branch.  After the rope was firmly attached...

Phase 2: The Deck

Image
After completing the first portion of the substructure we returned to the Food Forest and collected many more poles of Amarillo. Amarillo is an extremely hard wood and perfectly suited for the deck. Many trips will be necessary because only a small number of logs can be transported in one trip. With great effort the crew precisely placed the poles on the substructure. We are creating a rustic feel in the tree house, as if it were taken from an adventure novel. The deck begins to take shape  With the help of a chainsaw all the poles are cut to exact dimensions. Some measurements needed A little siesta after a long day!
