Shangralaska Rainforest Treehouse

This video was made to give to the guy who lived in a treehouse in the rainforest just outside of town in a paradise oasis of giant trees locals call Shangralaska... Indeed it is the Shangrala of Alaska. This video takes us there for a brief visit to hear some wisdom from its occupant, then we journey on toward Ragged-top Mountain, a majestic, craggy peak seemingly only a short distance away. We did not make it this trip nor after several more attempts.

But after this video was made the treehouse became vacant and I move-in and lived there for the summer through fall 'til December. It was the best home I"ve ever had, and I had just come from a two million-dollar mansion in Hawaii.

Enjoy your exploration of this enchanted forest.

Namaste.

Hoka-hey

I keep watching this, it's wonderful. Does anyone know the music? Sounds like Chinese folk music. I've been into self sustaining design and love the tree house idea.

"Chinese folk music"? That's funny. The flute is my first-ever recording. I was playing an old, broken bamboo flute on a very expensive microphone. Thanks for watchin' and commenting.

Well done. The Devil's Club is always an interesting plant to see. More folks need to live simply. It clears and strengthens the mind.
