Coincidently, I have just spent a couple of hours (and a few beers) in a cabin that a friend built in his 27acre woodland. To be fair, he felled with chainsaws and planked with a transportable bandsaw/mill. He had to fell the trees anyway (there was a desperate need to thin) and he wanted all the wood to come from his wood. He wanted a shelter that would last years and was secure (tools etc. left in). Like me, he's put a wood burner, basic cooking facilities, and LED lighting in. I think any type of temporary shelter would not have been suitable.
Bushcraft? definitely not - more pioneering craft.
His site is PAWS (plantation on ancient woodland site) and he is slowly reverting it to native deciduous (though it will take more than his lifetime).
