Introducing “The Hermit” Plans
Joe Chipman who brought us the Little Bunk House in the Woods has just added a new plan based on the bunkhouse. It is called “The Hermit.”
The Hermit is a full function tiny house in 64 sq ft with a combination sawdust toilet and dry shower, twin bed, a desk area, a storage closet, a basic kitchen area and 32 sq ft of cover deck space.
Everything you need for that deep woods hunting cabin or the back yard get away, private space or guest cabin. The same basic construction techniques as the bunkhouse. Build it yourself and own it. The hermit may be the next project you were looking for. The Hermit plans include an additional 21 pages of plans in addition to the 39 pages of photos and illustrations of the bunkhouse plans.
For this week only get both sets of plans at the same low price of $17.00. Update, Joe has decided to keep the plans at the same low price. *Note all previous buyers of the bunkhouse plans will receive this update at no charge.

What is a dry shower?
This is a term I use for a shower stall without running water. A bucket shower would also apply. Set your bucket of warm water on toilet seat and use cup to pore water on yourself.
You can also rig up an overhead arrangement with one of those plastic solar shower jugs using water heated however you can. Get wet, turn off water, soap and shampoo (sparingly), turn on water to rinse. It’s especially nice to have a shower stall with grey water collection system so you don’t have to do the ‘bucket and chuck it” method using a washtub or make a huge soggy mess. It’s amazing how little water you need to keep clean though (even with washing long hair) if you just hand pour the water instead of letting it flow.
My mom was a medic in the army, and she would always po the guys in field training cause all she needed was one helmet full of water.
What does “Po” mean?
Pi** off, as in annoy.
Where are the windows in this design?
There are 4 windows in the hermit design, (1) kitchen area, (2) desk area, (1) bunk area. Also the door could have a window. If willing to sacrifice some shelving space the kitchen and (2) desk windows could up to 2′x 3′.
It looks like the shower is under the bunk. It doesn’t look like you would have room to stand up for a shower if you are more than about 4′ tall.
Clearance under bunk is 6′ 6″,leaving 2′ 3″ from bed rail to ceiling on lowest side. If floor in shower is raised for drainage that leaves about 6′ 4″ in shower stall, low but workable for most people. besides most work done in that room is done sitting down.
To obtain the needed height of 6′ 6″ under bunk I increased the pitch of the roof from 7 degrees as in the bunkhouse to 21 degrees.
I was wondering how easy it would be to make the plans a 10×10 and also make it 2-3 feet higher for extra storage space??
