Title: Fitting out a small cabin for self-sufficiency
Post by: Joesef on September 16, 2025, 05:56:43 AM
Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about building a small cabin or micro-cottage, and I'm wondering how you organize the space to make it really practical.
I'm mainly thinking about storage and managing supplies, so that I have enough to last a few days without having to run around everywhere. Even a small stock of long-life meals (like the ones you can find on freezedriedandco.com (https://www.freezedriedandco.com/)) can quickly become cumbersome if you don't think about it from the outset.
If you have any tips for optimizing space and keeping the place functional while maintaining a minimum of autonomy, I'm all ears!

I don't have a lot of advice for you, but try to think about having everything do multiple jobs.  Fold down table, table turns into bed, vertical custom cabinets, loft for storage or bed, building supplies under cabin, build a shed.  

Good luck

I would look at how RVs and travel trailers are laid out, they ar optimized for storage and utility space.
