Excellent job, serious graft using hand tools as well. My one nit pick is how the land is higher on the fire place side and it also looks to be on a slight slope which will shed water straight onto the side of the hut. I'd probably spend a bit more time and build up the floor so it's all higher than the surrounding ground level. Great hut and impressive using hand tools with the old timers techniques
@AlexDoes3 ай бұрын
@Antipodean33 yeah the ground is sloped. I did dig a drainage gutter around the base to avoid water ingress. Building the level up would have been better but much harder work.

Where are the best areas of land to do it and can I legally just walk into the bush and build a cabin out of the way without speaking to local councils? Be great if can get a response please

Hey mate, thanks for watching. In NSW, you're generally okay to do this in State Forests without asking permission. They allow camping anywhere so long as you don't cut down any standing wood or remove wood from the forest without a permit. You're not allowed to do this in any National Parks. Cheers, Alex.

Hi Bill5931. Thanks for watching the video. I built this in a state forest that is used for logging. You're okay to build something there as long as you don't cut down any trees even if they are dead. All materials I used I collected off the ground. You cannot do this legally in a National Park as far as I know. Cheers, Alex
