In my view, this is what treehouse building is all about. Never mind $100,000 mansions in the trees - just grab some wood and a hammer and get started!

The Korowai
Documentary of native peoples' treehouses. These are the most extreme and amazing treehouses you are likely to see! They cling up to 25 metres high in gravity defying perches on top of trees that seem barely able to carry their load. Yet the Korowai actually live and carry out their daily lives in these outstanding places. Make sure to click on 'Slideshow'. Across Indonesia organise tours to visit the Korowai.
