How is this wood treated afterwards? I've seen a lot of long term shelters been done with untreated wood buried in the earth and so on but I've always been told that this wood deteriorate rapidly if left untreated.

@Honken i think its because many cabins survived for a long time because they are located in the nothern area. bugs dont like the cold weather; therefore, they die and woods last longer

Are there any information of how and when did the trees were cut down? For the wooden constructs were far more resistent than the ones now a days . I´ve seen roof queen post 60ft long and more dating 900 year … take care all
