Moss it brother. Awesome shelter.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Good call 👍

[@shario7016]

Looking forward to watching this tonight🪵🔥

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

👍

[@loganfullerton5751]

Moss and then more leaves to keep it camouflage. I really like this shelter. Needs a fire pit for cooking and a wind wall.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks 👊

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

fire pit takes away from the stealthiness. A similar shelter to this was easy to find and was destroyed by punks

[@markcox8762]

You've reached 250,000 subscribers! Congratulations Dustin.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Yes! Thank you!

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Great shelter I would put moss then leafs atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@reginaschmid2657]

Nice little shelter! Add moss, then leaves to keep it stealthy. Great video! Have a nice day!😊

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Regina. Have a super weekend

[@gallopingg1]

GREAT VID, ROOF, CLAY, THEN MOSS, THEN LEAVES, HOPEFULLY THEN WATERPROOF!!

[@donaldnorth3714]

I agree…..moss then more leaves! The deer demonstrated how camouflaged the shelter is! I’d stick with the leaves on top, then some form of door. Great job.

[@donaldnorth3714]

and where’s Amber?

[@permatacamping]

Kerja bagus teman ,shelter yang hangat____salam

[@VANESSASVANLIFEJOURNEY]

Great job on the fire 🔥 I love wAtching these videos very interesting

[@NickGoldsmith776]

Enjoyed watching this , looking forward to a catch-up 🤝 Best Nick

[@thenaturesilence]

🙏🌹

[@Lightfur]

Moss. Also, seeing the deer. If one jumped on top or even stepped on top of the shelter, would it hold? Unlikely to happen I know, but not a nice way to wake up 😂 Maybe a venison stew for next time?

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely stunning presentation my friend, such a flawless presentation! Just stunning content 🎥🔥

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thank you kindly!

[@storbunlimitedbushcraft6996]

Don't forget to get your tickets for Wild in Us 🤙🏽💜

[@lathitanSurvival]

green moss and lots of leaves for camouflage I love this shelter it's amazing😊

[@DianeHox]

Well done. If I were still a child, I would dig one in the backyard and try to find leaves to make one like this! MOSS

[@jenshahn1971]

hi Dustin, thanks and regards Jens

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks Jens 👊

[@markcox8762]

Excellent video, thanks. It must have been a thrill to see those deer. I think they were roe deer. It also sounds like you have plenty of bird life in your wood. Here in NZ we have some unique bird species, but not the same variety as in the UK. But I have seen dolphins in Wellington harbour from my office window, and I saw some orca going home on the train the other night.

[@markcox8762]

haha, just to be clear, I was on the train going home, the orcas weren't.

[@wintron]

@@markcox8762 🤣😅😂

[@garybarnstable9569]

Keep it up doing a good job teaching the young guys

[@freddyoutdoors]

Ace stuff love this shelter use the clay on the roof then cover it with leaves and cool roe deer too what a legend

[@ringovision]

Nice one loving this one big up BushCraft 🫶🏾👊🏾

[@forendetta8164]

Woww perfect, thank for vidéo. Good job.

[@sanorojales2253]

oks idol, nice great shelter,🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👍👍♥️

[@jackiec9062]

Loved this, and the deer was the icing on cake .I thought Roe deer Luv UK 🇬🇧

[@BeMoreWild]

Awesome to see your creativity for video ideas but also you enjoying the outdoors.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

👊

[@leewaddell8561]

Yes do a camp over , that would be great.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Moss Dustin. Thanks for filming. 👍😁

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

No problem 👍

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

can you use the clay on top of the leaves, pack it down, then add moss for a more waterproof living roof? Stegt Flæsk , Haggis, Pasty, Pierogi, Cordon Bleu, Hassenpfeffer in your pressure cooker (you can fake it and use chicken if you can't get a rabbit). How long will this shelter survive?

[@bahozcraft]

So good to see you back and making videos. You make what is for the rest of us, very difficult - and you make it look easy. I love your calm tone, your skill in bushcraft, and the overall kick-ass way you tame the elements. Thanks for the upload sir. In a world of many YT wannabes, you are the real thing! 11/10.

[@kembaraalas]

Very simply. Good job bro

[@cyc0man]

The moss sounds good if it has the ability to root. I really enjoy your channel! Thank for your input on survival!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@ArielleViking]

A really kool shelter. A 2 or 3 day overnighter would be really legendary. Leaves as it blends in more with the forest there. Nice deer, way kool to see em that close. Food, a caveman steak? 👍

[@riverspondsandcampfires]

Great Shelter build

[@JasonMcCannLover]

Looks like a great little spot. You enjoyed every minute I can tell.

[@fiskedrag]

Love your videos,I missed Amber 🐕 Looking forward to the next one,stay safe n well. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@richardp1471]

Excellent video thanks 👍

[@tojeles]

Great bushcraft video✌nice video super👍👍👍

[@williamhiggins1803]

thank you for an excellent video

[@ElementalcraftStudios]

I would suggest both MOSS and LEAVES but LEAVES ON TOP. It'll preserve the stealth.

[@GleeChan]

"What did you do this weekend, Dustin?" "Oh. I dug a hole, made fire from a mushroom, and jump-scared two deer." Also, I think the next appropriate meal here should be venison... obviously.

[@nxesr]

Another suggestion is to dig a trench just outside when it rains the water can channel down outwards👍

[@thesteakdetective]

Jolly Splendid transmission Dustin Old chap! See you at The Wild In Us Festival or before ♨️

[@carolbulmer8253]

Very cool stealth shelter!

[@niknack666]

Why not have both Moss and Leaves.

[@Breanna7]

👍❤️

[@yuriy_kondor]

great stealth shelter, nice fire starting, and the deer were the cherry on top! leaves on top is great for camouflage

[@czechbushcraftman]

Good job, I like the shelter, maybe I'll build one too

[@guerrillapress7343]

Moss yes absorbs water 💘😎💥🏁

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Golden_Patriot]

MAN YOU GOTTA LOVE THE DEER JUST STOPPING BY LIKE HI NEIGHBOR

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Dustin 👍. Definitely a layer of moss & more leaves, as for cooking. Rabbit, chicken, fish 🤔. Definitely no venison 😉, cos you won't see those hanging around anymore 🤣. How is Amber's ear doing? Hope to see her on the next episode 👍

[@rickmcright5815]

Great stealth shelter. I wonder what happens if it rains heavily. The place would surely be a pool full of water.

[@fossil-freak_tom]

I think leaves are better than moss. People roaming the forest find spots with moss more interesting than plain foliage, so they're more likely to go to that spot and look. consequently, a canopy of leaves is better, offers more camouflage

King video.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks 👍

[@Juber777]

Really cool, it's too wet here in WA 😅👍

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

😯

[@Nverinder716]

I’m not from the UK, and I’ve never seen one in real life, but I’m nearly 100% positive those were a couple of female Roe deer. Common in your area, and the lighter, reddish coat is more indicative of females, whereas the males are really dark brown! Awesome experience to see them so close! Hunting Whitetail here at home last year, I had a small male come right under my tree stand and laid down to bask in the sun for a good 20 minutes!

[@natureisallpowerful]

Yes roe deer are the most common here and the red deer are in herds mostly and there's another one fallow deer

[@thenaturesilence]

[@thenaturesilence]

@carmine redd 🌹

[@thenaturesilence]

@carmine redd 🌹❤️

[@angelmonroe1750]

Nice one. Maybe you should have put some clay onto the branches to waterproof it, then add ferns & leaves

[@joanntucker2742]

Like the video thanks for sharing 😊👍

[@gkeyman565]

at least the deer didn't crash though the roof!!! you'll have to move the deer crossing signs !!! ;)

[@marieouellet8946]

Moss as the top layer would be less prone to be blown thinner or away by a windy day.

[@jh13202]

Leaves, for now to keep it stealthy. Moss maybe later when forest floor gets greener. 👍

[@gkeyman565]

nice place to visit ;) have a great day, it's the 4th of July here, i doubt you celebrate it ;)

[@danielirvine3109]

Love the video.

[@OG29]

Freshly done, I would spot it in an instant. Dead leaves on the forest floor have a dark and a light side. You will only see the dark side if they have been disturbed.

[@mal334455]

Great video

[@jeffthompson2218]

Moss, and you should do a dutch oven camp jambalaya!

[@davidmack7018]

Great shelter I military they'd call it a hide. Really low profile plus it will return to nature with minimal disturbance to the area good for a season or two, How about pulling back leaves then putting on thatch reed roof moss and some leaves to blend it in if you were to roll some camo tarp and some second hand blankets you'd have good bedding bring your pooch along and a Colman 2 burner propane you'd have a couple fun videos and a good time to be had pulling some or a blanket or even a canvas or tarp and it be a decent shelter like a bivy or a bivouac. Maybe set up a game cam and harvest a meal not necessarily a deer but maybe a rabbit or a bird of sort pack in a chicken make a feast of it along with your best buddy.. awesome. Best David If you're going through rain cut drainage maybe some tarp to send rain off from roof rather then a clay filled trench complete with mud; that be not so fun but pull back roof to sticks add arms full of reeds after a tarp moss then leaves cut in drainage taking care that it doesn't weep into your clay ground beneath it could be cozy and a sight to behold

[@jerridcook8811]

As well as the shelter blends into the forest floor it's hard to argue that the leaves wouldn't be best for camouflage. Maybe do moss then leaves on top?

[@christinemcfarland4066]

Please use moss, and seeing the dear was so cool.

[@Toxicmindset]

Great video!! Love the appearance of those deer, they're like a cherry on top of this wild video haha. Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome adventure! x

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thank you too!

[@thenaturesilence]

🌹

[@PurelyPatriotic1st]

definitely Whitetail Deer!

[@anthonyvento33]

Well a leaf roof works good in that environment. Food wise lamb shish kebabs!

[@denishrovat3464]

Best video

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Moss. I think moss will be more of a stable roof. Your food always looks good no matter what you cook.

[@utubeape]

Can you build a shelter from living saplings bending them over into a kind of tunnel and constantly manipulating them, just as the support framework and then when you need it you can just throw a tarp over or clingfilm it for the night. I know it would take a few seasons but could be a good project. I saw a fallen ash tree that still had a root system and new branches were growing all along the trunk straight up, so thats what made me think of this, if 2 trees were down next to each other with a gap it would maybe happen naturally

[@ritabowles8930]

Looks like your entrance would allow Water to funnel into dugout If so you would need a diversion ridge to turn water around it It is well camouflaged. Those deer may walk through your roof Neat shack

[@thenaturesilence]

❤️🌹

[@angelapadgette9258]

That wasn't really a question. Mostly just a question in my mind. Works great as a blind. I still want you to know that I will be watching more of your videos.❤

[@owbyoutdoors]

Nice video mate, you've definitely inspired me to start thinking about trying some builds myself

[@Chris-wf1ot]

Yes miss 😊

[@mozzogonewild5378]

Congratulations on 250k buddy 👍🏼

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks 👍

[@Wrhuff71]

You may have already done this, not sure, but I would like to see an instructional video on weaving a fish trap. Then you could cook the fish you catch!

[@adamcarfield7201]

Pheasant stew sounds good

[@seanbeardy7929]

Some nice prawn and chorizo kebabs 🍺

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Ohhh....that sounds tasty 😋

[@Pengrajinsemak]

keren

[@Chris-wf1ot]

Yes moss😊

[@vksumi9728]

Interesting bro

[@FGB_Production]

Chill

[@chrisaddottasmith9943]

Roof: leaves Food: pork & apples Seeing the deer was a thrill! Amber would have loved to have been with you for that! I’m really glad that you’re back in the field. Missed you. Can’t wait to see what you do with this space next. What will you do if rain floods it? Are you off the ground enough to stay dry?

[@cee8mee]

Be careful you're not too camouflaged, lest a deer hoof or two come crashing through your roof.

[@guerrillapress7343]

Heheh that would be MY luck 🍀😆

[@davethabushcrafter]

awesome catch of the deer on the camera mate, well done. but yeah you have to moss the roof, every hobbit, needs a hobbit house hahahha

[@budc865]

Add moss. Use like asphalt shingles.

[@castleman7300fx]

Moss 👍

[@quanvansu1977]

👍👍👍❤❤

[@angelapadgette9258]

Really good video but one important question, you may not need protection from bears in the UK, however in the US , you would be a sitting duck

[@angelswithdirtyfaces1]

Brilliant video and I love your smock, any details would be appreciated 😊

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Moss OR more leaves? It's NOT just a matter of opinion. Moss is really good at soaking up moisture but it will stand out on the leafy forest floor in your location. Moss is a good insulator in comparison to leaves, which seem to endlessly compact over time. Moss tends to stay in place, while leaves blow in the wind. YOU are the man who has done this stuff for years: what would you say to a layer of moss with leaves on top for camouflage?

[@joeyt684]

Been a while. Just sending well wishes

[@jimrandall9113]

Leaves with moss on very top.

[@FishingwithWalter]

Man, I'm loving that long jacket you're wearing. What is it called and where can I find one?

[@angelswithdirtyfaces1]

👋 👋 👋

[@bethgruenewald7463]

Leaves. My first impression of the deer is that they were Roe deer.
