  • In this video, I begin building a bushcraft woodland shelter using the left-over materials from my previous 'lean-to' shelter. The tools used in this build consist of; a saw, axe, knife and a scotch-eyed auger (available from www.bushcrafttools.com).
    Having read through all of your comments, I decided to go with the majority vote and choose to re-use the materials, without any need for sourcing extra wood. Amber usually takes up 'most' of my bed, so I'm hoping the new bed will be big enough for us now! What do you think?

    My uncle saw me watching a bunch of these videos and he said that when he did bushcraft he always took a pencil sharpener. He said he would use it on sticks and then use the shavings for building up a fire.

      My cabelas multi tool has a nice little wood shaver on it. Proper tinder is #1. I always carry fatwood with me.

      And if you decided to write measurements on your hands with a bic pen, you can wash it off with milk if you have some in the woods.😊

    The dowels in the bed rails are a vast improvement over stakes in the ground. It will be more stable and last longer. Appreciate you always making Amber's comfort a priority. Good teaser for the mystery project in the next video. Looking forward to it. 👍

      When I turned eleven my dad was transferred to Portsmouth, NH with the 509th BW of our Air Force. It was a brand new AFB built during the end of the Cold War. It had been a huge farm just West of Portsmouth with an included lake. We lived ther for five years.
      We built many small structures in the woods like these held together with vines and brambles.

  • @steveowens398

    Great work and video as always Dustin. Where there's more snow, a shelter like this gains a lot of cold-weather insulation from snow cover. You could probably use a layer of leaves near the bottom of the walls/roof to retain some heat. As this is a smaller shelter, you might try for some removable or foldable furniture, maybe a table against the back wall. How about trying a greased paper window? It's good to see that Amber still enjoys watching you work!

  • @ArielleViking
    @ArielleViking Před rokem +3

    Excellent build and it'll be awesome to watch it progress. Yep, extra wide bed is a great idea as Amber would rather sleep on top of you instead of on a separate bed. Hmmm, brand new, a folding table. "What would I build", maybe an indoor firepit for cooking and warmth in inclement weather. 👍

    So glad you’re back. Missed you and Amber terribly. I was worried about the demolition of the debris shelter knocked the wind out of your sails.
    So very happy to see new vids.
    You’re a genuine soul. A gentleman, and a true bushman. God speed Dustin. Much❤ from the States.

    I have a auger just like yours. One of the things a really appreciate about it is the handle design. It’s designed so that a stick can be pounded through it and it comes out the same diameter of the auger. Really cool design feature. Drill the hole and make a pin to fit it.

  • @adamcantrell6373
    @adamcantrell6373 Před 7 měsíci

    The scotch eye is actually designed to make a dowel the size of the hole you drilled. That's why the eye is tapered on one end acts like a cutting edge to make the dowel

    • @user-mj4zy4kn1c
      @user-mj4zy4kn1c Před 3 měsíci

      That's a settlers tool, a modified scotch eye. A regular scotch eye is just flat metal on the handle, although you can sharpen the hole I suppose.

    If you don't want the stakes and poles to decay fast, you should burn the ends of them before pounding them in the ground. It really stays a lot longer.

    Were MY IDEAS miraculously melded with your skills, I would do much as you have done. I would NOT rely on the A-Frame shelter because of the hard-to-use space just under the eaves. Good Luck with having Amber snuggle in there! Going forward, I would make provisions for a safe stove and chimney stack. I'd LIKE to see a cedar shake roof. (I would buy in the shakes.)

    I'm pretty sure that the metal loop at the top of your scotch-eye auger is for cutting the pegs to the right size. The taper on one side of it is supposed to carve the stick down to the perfect size as its pounded through. Cheers.

    I had one single cat who took up so much room that I went from having a double bed to buying a queen sized bed so she'd have space. Many a cat has slept next to me since them, something multiple cats, and I have always had enough room so I highly recommend a big bed.

    @garypeterson3628 Před rokem

    Great video. FYI...Did you know that the handle end of your Scotch-eyed auger is designed to cut the pegs to the perfect size. Note one side of it is tapered to a sharp edge.
    It's so much harder to hand cut the pegs to the correct size, and you stand the chance of splitting the logs if you force them.

  • @shakescan

    I'm heading out to build a longhouse soon. Perhaps with your build I might either build a large fireplace in the back wall or even extend it in that direction make a full kitchen.
    I'm hoping to build a bent wood longhouse and have a large fireplace directly across from the bed. A rack above the bed for storage and also drape blankets or tarps around the 4 sides and top for insulation, like a canopy bed.
    It would be great to smoke meats in the chimney.
    A rack up high is out of the way for storage and harder for mice to get to
    (No idea what your bear situation is).
    I'm planning a tiny greenhouse or solarium too, but looks like you're going with pure primitive.

    Looking at the roof structure i can't help but think how much more space you'd have inside if those timbers were sat on a 3 or 4 foot high wattle wall. I know you'd then have to daub it and all the work that would cause but either way it is another interesting build.
