About Me
- Name: Stuart Hickox
- Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
In 1994 I fell in love with a 10-acre clear-cut in Prince Edward Island. It had been raped of its trees and was waist-deep in debris. The price was right, though, and the view of rolling PEI farmland was incredible (and unobstructed). I had the land cleared and replanted. Everyone I know donated trees. Then I decided I needed a simple cabin where I could "get out of the rain" on my land. I consulted a local architect, Carter Jeffrey, and selected plans of an old PEI out building (small carriage house) as my cabin. People thought I was nuts. I loved that. Other people said my tiny cabin on the clearcut was "very Thoreau." I had no idea what they meant. Then I discovered Henry David Thoreau and his classic philosophical treatise "Walden, Or; Life in the Woods" and was blown away at how my little place accidentally reflected his world-view and spirit. Walden Cabin was reborn, in PEI.
