Forget That Tiny House and Get a Tiny Houseboat Instead

Woodworker Builds The Perfect Tiny House Boat for Life on the Water

First, we had tiny houses, then we had tiny cabins, then we had tiny travel trailers, and now we have tiny houseboats. Yes, my friends, there exists a company that creates tiny houseboats that you can add to your already large stable of tiny homes and automobiles.

Not satisfied with a floating tent or a simple pontoon, Canadian design company Daigno took it upon itself to create Le Koroc, a pontoon boat with a solid wood cabin placed right on top of it. The cabin itself is built from laminated white cedar beams and ultra-light (but strong) plywood and sits on three 50/52H32 marine grade aluminum/magnesium alloy tubes that contain four-feet of sealed chambers, meaning this baby isn’t going down unless all three pontoons are punctures.

Le Koroc comes in two designs: the Fishing Series and the Holiday Series. Both options offer kitchens with a stove, sink, fridge, table, and storage, along with a bathroom that contains both a toilet and a shower. Both also offer a rear bedroom that doubles as seating and storage when not in use for sleeping. Where the two styles differ, however, comes down to their intent. Le Koroc Fishing Series is designed for just that: fishing. With accessories and add-ons that help to hold fishnets and poles, and an included fish tank for keeping your catch alive until grill time, which leads us to the best feature of the Fishing Series: the onboard barbecue. Yes, on Le Koroc you can catch your fish and grill it too.

KOROC

The Holiday Series is a little more relaxing in its accommodations. Gone is the fish tank and in its place is extra seating with plenty of cupholder for day drinking on the lake, as well as smaller barbecue and more space to move around.

Both series come with standard marine operating equipment, which you can check out here. Pricing for Le Koroc comes in at around $80,000 CAD, or USD $60, 500.

If a glorified pontoon isn’t up to snuff for your nautical nonsense, why not check out this luxurious super yacht? Or better yet, this super villain submarine.

The Manual's Must-Haves Cigars
The first sampler you can pick up is the Olivia. These folks are a pretty big staple of the cigar world and have been making cigars since the 1800s. The 10-cigar sampler usually goes for $97 and includes a nice selection from Connecticut Reserve Toro to Serie O Maduro Robusto. Another bundle from an old-school Cigar maker is the La Aurora pack, which comes with a lot of classic flavors like La Aurora Preferidos 1903 and La Aurora 115 Anniversario. The 10-pack usually goes for $105, so it's pretty high-end, but this deal knocks it down to $20, so it's perfect if you've been wanting to try it out.

Even as Netflix is raising prices on consumers, the company has also announced that it will be introducing couch co-op and party games for subscribers. The company has offered cloud gaming as a "beta" to a subset of its subscribers since 2023, and the move into co-op games suggests that the streamer will continue to invest in this area.

Co-CEO Greg Peters made the announcement as part of the company's Q4 earnings report, but he didn't detail what games might be available through this new platform. “We think of this as a successor to family board game night or an evolution of what the game show on TV used to be," he explained.

The best adventure movies: The films that keep you on the edge of your seat
These adventure movies will take you to new parts of the world
Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark

The idea of an adventure movie is pretty specialized. These are movies that exist broadly within the world of action cinema, but they are just one small corner of that world. These movies typically involve exotic locations, traps, and tunnels. Sometimes, they're set in the jungle or the desert, and sometimes they're set on the high seas.

Personally, I'm partial to sea-faring movies, maybe in part because I have no desire to live my life on the water. In my own life, these movies have often represented a chance to understand the world, and to appreciate its vastness, splendor, and danger.
