Imagine dropping a man into the middle of the wilderness with nothing but the shorts he’s wearing. Then imagine coming back in three months to find a small house complete with tiled roof and heated underfloor.

Well wait a minute, where's his loin cloth, did he get those shorts at REI, or did they just appear.

He's awful pale for being outside for this building project.

RancherThe answer is given right out of the gate. "Imagine"

They said the project took 102 days. But they didn't say he lived off the land while doing it.

Not much sun under the canopy of the thick Forrest right?

I see your point but the way I took it it was basically a experiment. Pretty cool one.
