Living In A Fire Lookout: Tiny Home Tour | Zillow

- What is it like living in a fire lookout home? A Dallas couple rented several fire lookouts before purchasing 160 acres of meadow and forest land in rural Oregon, known as Summit Prairie. With the help of a local builder and engineer, their “treehouse without the tree” was completed in 2010.

And now I feel an irrepressible urge to play the game "Firewatch".
+Kiido11 I Searched up: exploring a lookout tower! Because of the game: Firewatch xD
I am here because of that game
Kiido11 yup
Do it it's a good game
I beat that game it was cool
I wonder what the toilet situation is. I'd hate to have to climb down all those stairs to use an outhouse.
+DevilMaskMedia the answer to your question is here! th-cam.com/video/oDaudbGtdfo/w-d-xo.html
Jay Thompson : D Thanks!!
They're men. They pee off the deck.
WAS GONA SAY THE SAME FUCKING THING~!
JustinLodes real men don't make immature hate comments on a TH-cam video.
ole dude is right. home is anywhere. it's what you make of it.
Marvelous story. Makes me want to build one.
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
You can build some amazing things when money is no object.
so very very true
You can build some amazing things when you work your ass off. Sure doesn't look like they inherited it.
This house doesn't look particularly expensive to me, quite the opposite actually. It's pretty basic, although I hope they invested in some dang good insulation, I bet that thing gets friggin cold on windy winter nights!
Truth.
Money is important when doing anything in this life.
But if you kept all the money that you waste in day to day life you would be amazed how much you could have.
Most people like to spend money for the sake of spending money?????????????
If something is important to you.
You will find a way to achieve it.
If you are positive in your life.
Life will be positive.
People are very quick to give up on something when it gets to hard.
The people who push through are the ones who realize there hopes and dreams
If Your Dreams Do Not Scare You Then You Are Not Dreaming Big Enough.
What a home. These guys are so lucky to be able to live here.
Correct. It was hard work that did it.
Your hate defines you
soopahsoopah not hate here
Soopahsoopah what do you mean? I'm getting pretty tired of lazy turds that feel entitled to their dreams with no effort on their own part. If you want an awesome house, you'd better work your butt off and start saving/planning!
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
I'm just here because of Firewatch. I didn't even know this was a thing.
lol
lol same
Haha so I'm not the only one...
Lol because of fire watch I'm actually really interested in this stuff now. I'm trying to convince my dad to rent one of these so we could head out one summer. Ps they still have lookout jobs.
There are a lot of job posts for fire watch at the government web site RIGHT now (Feb 2017).
Running water, cell service, and wine.
I've met them. Very nice people.
That is really nice but I'd feel better if the supporting frame work was made of steel vs. wood!
Ohhh... yeah. It's a FIRE lookout, lol.
Yes. Easy to sabotage.
If there would be fire, steel frame would deform faster making it less safe actually. On a flip side, the fire will climb up if wood frame is used....
It's hard to say, a heavy I-Beam can endure a lot of heat before deformation and it would take a very long and continuous fire to do so which doesn't happen in Forest fires because they are continuously moving.
9/11 changed EVERYTHING
Firewatch really inspired me to become a fire lookout.
+Thom -A293 Watch out for Ned then.
Lol, sure will.
Wanting to become a Lookout observer AND THEN finding out about Firewatch, made me obsessed with the idea now....
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
Wth I need more of these two, ASAP! Y'all appeal to me in so many ways. Living in nature, living with someone you love and respect, getting away from consumer culture, etc. Awesome vid
THIS!!
They have not only built a breathtakingly beautiful home, but the way in which they describe the evolution of their relationship shows how they simultaneously built a stronger and natural life together.
What a beautiful story ❤️
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
Very true. I spoke with a married couple who have worked/lived in a Fire Tower Lookout for the past 3 decades and there is also a correlation between the lookout tower and the evolution of their life together.
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. they're gay... unfortunately
@@TheDenimJacket Unfortunately? They're living a happy life in a nice environment. That's not unfortunate.
@@tito_jan It's unnatural.
"we give each other the right to be different"... we could all benefit from that idea. Bravo Zillow for telling a different story. BTW.. that pie crust looks awesome. Mmmm Mmmmm!
Amen to that!
I think I'd want an elevator so when I got older I could enjoy it. I wonder what it cost to build?
At least a zip-line aimed for the outhouse.
Haha, imagine crashing into an outhouse as 60 mph.
I just lol'ed at that thought haha thanks
@@joellouiseize same hahah
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
I wonder if they ever have issues with lightning, or wind. Those are my biggest concerns but those slide-rule engineers have all that figured out I'm sure.
These guys are one of the richest people i know. Its never always about the money. I envy them
What did you just say? It's "never always" about the money? What the hell does that mean? The sentence is contradictory.
What did they buy the land with
@@danielt.4330 Next time I'll have it explained to you in
caveman speaks so you can understand.
@@disturbedone8731 Sure, please explain it to me.
@@richardschoenmakers6457 exactly
Thank you for sharing. Its great to see folks enjoying life and living their dream.
Two happy men living together . what's wrong with that...
Love that panoramic view. It just makes the place pop.
I avoid stairs like the plague. So really nice but not for me.
I guess a fireplace is out of the question
damn those pine forests are beautiful
ultimate hunting stand
This is awesome! What beautiful scenery! I think I would have to have a dumb wader to haul stuff up, and a spiral slide to go down though :) My hubby and I would love something like that, however the 5 kids might disagree after a bit ;)
You could make a dumb waiter with a garage door opener but would need the electricity for it.
Just a winch would do, if gearing is good you can lift stuff by hand no prob.
A corkscrew slide or a fireman's pole would be awesome!
they have a winch to move stuff vertically. it is visible at 1:1. It is mounted on the deck railing on the left side of the deck.
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
Ah, I am truly delighted to have watched this. I wish my life partner of twenty-six years had lived long enough for us to have enjoyed something similar to this. Unfortunately hepatic cancer took him from me far too soon at only fifty-two.
+Russell Leaming Condolences.
+shay daversa - Thank you. It's been a pretty lonely sixteen years since his passing, and there hasn't been a day gone by when I haven't thought of him.
+Russell Leaming And that's the how and why of his living on. Keep those memories and stay strong. As e.e. cummings says, "Let a joy kill you. Keep away from the little deaths".
Russell Leaming sorry for your loss xx
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
It warms my heart to see that almost NO ONE has anything to say about them being a couple. It's a rare thing to see these days. Bravo to this perfect couple.
I was kinda waiting for (dreading) that too. Wouldn't surprise me if Zillow staff were rightfully vigilant in deleting those as hate speech. 🏳️🌈
It's 2022 gay is a normal thing only people who think it is where born before the 80s boomers
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
That's because we no longer have free speech on these woke platforms.
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV.
You're not funny nor clever.
God I’m over here bitching about hauling groceries up my ONE flight of porch stairs.. couldn’t imagine that 😅
Looks like Sweet Charlie and Bobby bottom.
I'm so jelly
me too
Jealousy - Fear or resentment of threat of losing something you consider your own.
Envy - Discontent or resentful longing of someone else's possession, status, or achievement.
You are envious not jealous.
PrideDefiler ok mr smart person
anyone know the song thats playing at 0:40??
Great. I could imagine, that this kind of a habitat also supports a more resourceful and less wasteful living style.
that place is gorgeous!! you guys are blessed to be able to live I a place such as that. enjoy. :)
Nice video, but you don't say anything about health care. Or maybe I missed it. What about if you need an ambulance, for example?
I would have to assume they would be life flighted via a helicopter
they have access to the same ambulance service the folks living in a conventional (built on the ground) cabin a mile down the road.
My house is wood and therefore it's made from trees... I have a TREEHOUSE!
No info on the bathroom. It's an intriguing home, no question. Enjoyed the clip.
That is really cool, I want to do this one day with me and my wife. How much was that plot of land?
I couldn't hack living with another person like that. There's nowhere to go to be alone unless you want to wander around the mountain. I adored my late wife, but we would drive each other crazy in that place. It's not that it's such a small space, but that everything is in one room. You're always on top of each other (no, not literally :0).
Loved this video, 10/10, will watch again
I ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE IN ONE ! ALMOST HAD A JOB MANNING ONE YEARS AGO AND THEN THE FOREST SERVICE SLOWED DOWN THE PROGRAM OH WELL
It’s beautiful got to have good knees to even make it up there-lol
My husband used these from woodprix and he's very satisfied. However. I love Yours !
*cough* Firewatch
I'd like to know what their annual expenses look like. I'm curious to know if they're higher or lower than average. Anyone know?
Awesome video guys. I am envious of your views. Don't suppose you would like to publish the plans... I will build something like this eventually. Would like to be able to see what I am getting into sooner rather than later.
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
This is amazing! It is my dream to live like that.
FREAKING GORGEOUS. Being on a fire look out I'd be inclined to build it from steel.
This is literally the meme from StoneToss comics of the interracial couple in a fast food advertisement. "How will this help us sell more burgers?" "Burgers?"
This is my dream house. I want to build it as soon as possible :)
I also wanted to build a house like this but the gov made sure to make it impossible (building code)
Think you will have to install an elevator for the golden years!!
Just beautiful, and you appreciate it which is lovely
This gives me firewatch vibes
this is my dream
Holy fuck. Perfect.
How did they buy that if it was in state land how did they get that land
so they have water....why can they not fit a large soil pipe to the inside of one of the main support legs, that runs down and away to a soak away or reid bed filter system downhill 20metres plus from the base. Gravity is a great assist, and you can get a dual flush to use 1.5 litres a flush or less for a number 1. E.g a simple elegant toilet, weights not a massive issue - once you've pumped x amount if you siphon from source it will draw the water up to the height required. Alternatively put in a grey water tank, as you use water anyway, get a second rinse out of it.
Yes they could definitly use shower and washing water for a toilet.
one big issues it the soil pipe would freeze. the other is that a soil pipe is made of segmented pipe. The structure does shift around on top of the stilts. This could cause the soil stack to break.
I wonder how many other homes and storage buildings they have off site.
+Eckhard Koehler They actually have one other small 1bd structure on the property (no bathroom either). They go back and fourth between the two as they rent the Fire Lookout out in the summer months. The other structure is a few hundred yards away in the trees.
Cool. That's seems much more practical. Beautiful structure, just not a reality as a stand alone for the modern person.
+Zillow How do you rent their lookout in the summer??!
Yes...I've watched that many times! Those are great as long as you're a couple without children; or, an older couple who has children who've moved on. They're awesome!
i do not get it?......are these guys business partners?....where are there wives and kids?.......
Wow i envy you all that space. My partner and i have 4acres, we grow and raise our own food. But both of us prefer nature to city life and the city keeps getting closer. Your story is great, thank you for sharing
😉Home is not just a place it's also a feeling. I wish I could afford & have a simular set up, not gonna give up the dream, cheers😁
Best zombie proof house
What a beautiful home!
Looks absolutely fantastic
That's the life! Amazing!
That breakfast they were making looked delicious
Do u mean "Firewatch lookout house in real life"?
Over 700,000 views. Not bad. But,...change the title to “Worlds Best Deer Stand” and get 7 Million views.
this is SO BEAUTIFUL!
I’m in Thailand and there’s a small patch of land I can build on…your idea looks great…because we have mountains all around us. Thanks for your video..I’ll show it to my brother in law
I really love the concept. Those stairs would get exhausting overtime.
Nexttime i love to cooperate with you guys, the whole stair section you should make a greenhouse of it! All year around you can grow food and have even your vit D in the winter! Nexttime you should design round isntead of squared. Send me a p.m. if you love to cooperate! Congratz with making the dream come truth! cheers
Great home, lots of stairs though, what happens when you get old and your knees start to go??
Danny O. are you still a fire watcher? Havn't heard from you in years. Neighborhood hasn't changed at all. You know the #.
If anyone knows these guys ir where I can purchase the architectural plans for this home, please PM me.
I think most people with money waste it on useless bullshit like expensive cars and mansions. I'll take this place any day. Lots of land and a beautiful house. Not fancy but everything they need. Looks like a place where you could create great memories.
I would love to have a place up in the mountains, as well as in the forest and on a tropical island
Really beautiful!!!
I'm stupidly jealous!!!
I think it's nice for them now cuz their not that old ,but in 15 or 20 years this house will be to impractical. What old person is going to walk up all them stairs
So beautiful place. You are lucky guys!
I would do this if I won the lottery.
Having to carry all your groceries up there, is a good way to keep from eating too much, lol.
Not a tree house. It is a house on stilts. My house is off the ground and most certainly is not a tree house. Ask a 4 year old what a tree house is and stop making such claims.
Nice place but more of a summer camp than a house. No obvious source of heat and do you really want to trudge up and down those stairs in the snow to go to the bathroom. No secondary escape route either, a death trap in a fire. Sorry to be practical. But it is a gorgeous camp.
Are they married by any chance like this is what they actually wanted to live together for ?
What a dream home amazing wouldn't want to carry the shopping up thouse stairs though
Incredible, what a place to live.
This is the type of life i really wish too have in the future.
2023. years old. said out
absolutely anazing, i would live there in a second
I'm wondering if this Fire Lookout home is vulnerable to high winds. I realize much of the wind would just pass through the rafters or whatever you call it. How much of that land is theirs, I wonder.
There is a website that has some information. same name as this with Zillow in it also.
They bought 160 acres.
similar structures stood the test of time for over a century. Today's modern materials would mean theirs is better than the older versions
man when they seat to take the tea outside look what decception the eye cannot see the horizon because of the bancade.
Is your poop pipe just a long drop or how else do you manage utilities?
The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!
Very nice, but what about the security, because they're in the middle of nowhere.
in a way, it is its own type of security. Bumping into someone is unlikely, then the chance that they will actually do something, the chances are slim to none. But still worth investing into
Zombie proof house... cool
Gramps is Gonna need an elevator before long.
Amazing place.
Beautiful but where is the cr
I envy it .. sadly, I can't imagine being so close to someone , to live in the middle of nowhere with em ! and goin up and down that many stairs every time I want to go anywhere !! what must it be like I will never know ! pass lol the views AMAZING !!
I would have a garage FULL of rv toys , 4 wheelers , motor cycles , snow mobiles and such !
I bet 15 jelly babies were birth in this thing..
I would rather be on a mountain top lookout
