Floating Flock House

Accompanied by Kammy Booth, Tyler draws A floating Flock House. His work informed by his Eagle Scout study. His design reflects his scout camping experience. It includes a “Trap for rain fly outside”, “three shelves,” a “removable hammock,” “clothes line,” plant containers, “Potty with waste bucket,” “camp stove,” “catch bucket to store water,” and “water turbine” as energy source for a light bulb.

Recycled materials he would use include: “heavy net materials, buckets, fence post, reclaimed wood, and bot motor propeller.” On a design team, his contributions are “camping and wilderness survival” skills.

Tyler is not attracted to a Flock House gathering. “No, I wouldn’t want to be around lots of people.”

A Flock House idea might address population displacement.  “It would be a back up plan. It would help with populations in 3rd world countries.”
