Building a stone and wood survival bushcraft shelter in the woods

  • This video features my construction of a stone-cum-wood shelter in a beautiful far-off forest. The biggest challenge in building this shelter was to collect stones from a seasonal creek a short distance away. It took me a great deal of time; it was time consuming and labour-intensive.
    What’s more, there was a tree-dwelling squirrel which not only walked away with my food-stuffs from time to time but also disturbed my sleep in the night. Typically feeding on nuts and seeds, it had sensed edibles down in my camp and couldn't resist. Whenever I would go to collect stones or bring logs, I would have been apprehensive about the squirrel.
    Once the walls were completed, I cut logs from fallen trees and then put the roof on the shelter. I used pebbles to cover the small gaps between logs; mortared, and then spread dried leaves of pine on it. Next, I put a tarpaulin and covered it with leaves of spruce tree. After that, I put mud on the leaves and gave the shelter a flat surface.
    Meanwhile, the weather turned bad and it began to snow. I made a door for the shelter in haste; it wasn't perfect and substantial, I think. While I was putting a door bolt, a snowstorm hit out of nowhere. A seemingly unending stream of snowfalls started and disrupted my work. I was not only to make some necessary works inside the shelter but to build a second roof on it as well.
    Moreover, I was running low on food because some of it had been stolen by squirrels. So I reached a decision to leave for now. Once the snow clears, I will go back and carry out the remaining work.

    I live in Colorado and I have been watching these videos and you have the best one yet. The use of wood and rock is fantastic. Yes time consuming but you have done a great job. My thing is no one makes the structures large enough for me. I'm don't like small spaces. But I hope you enjoy your house for a very long time.

    Love the overall design. Making me think of dwarves; "rock and stone" and all that . . .
    BTW, I am a bit concerned about the slope of your roof; it may be too shallow. Would hate for all that stone and wood to collapse on your head during a heavy snowstorm.

    • @thinkwilderness
      @thinkwilderness  Před 2 měsíci +3

      Thanks for your concern, I appreciate it. However, the walls and roof are solid enough to withstand heavy snowfalls and storms. The slopes are that way because I plan to put a second roof on the shelter in coming days.
