Bushcraft Shelter - Building the Floor / Fireplace & Campfire Steak

[@camping-k]

Oh, my friend built a nice log house. That's great. That's a great challenge. Thanks for inviting me to your friend's nice log house.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

A GREAT VIDEO: This style of shelter was prevalent and popular and practical in the New England States of America, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. In New England, the front log/flooring was humorously called a 'deacons' bench.' The old campers would 'preach' to the young ones about bushcraft while comfortably seated by the fire! We did not have 'living roofs' on those constructions. Later, they were built about two logs higher, giving more room inside at the back. The overhangs were a bit extended: the back included the feature you built at the side: a raised log store under cover. There was more cover at the front for sitting under shelter. THIS HAS BEEN A FINE PROJECT!

[@declanflaherty8958]

And Finland. Called Laavu

[@1970boobear]

@James Ellsworth as a New Englander I concur... side note, when I was watching him hog out & chisel the logs I was also reminded of the "Alone in the Wilderness" videos 👍

[@torrentius1]

It is a thing of beauty. This design never really caught on in England, because commoners weren't allowed to fell mature trees. They could only take the things they could get 'by hook, or by crook'

[@MaineOffGrid.]

The lean-to shelters here in Maine along the Appalachian trail are built exactly as James described. I’ve stayed in quite a few. Great times.

[@timinatort8007]

Hi Andy, do you still go to this woodland? Haven't seen this structure for a while

[@kevinvaughn3715]

I have lived in the shadows of the Adirondacks most of my life, yet I didn't recognize your cabin. Probably because yours is such a work of art. Nice one Andy.

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you Kevin for such nice words :) cant wait for a night in it now.. shame i wont be looking out at the adirondacks haha

[@salvatorebaleno9807]

They are all over the ADKs along the trail system

[@vincentgibbons3028]

Sad

[@UAPJedi]

Love the no talking ones, get a real sense of the peace, quiet and solitude of the woods. Just hearing wind through the trees and birds signing is so relaxing.👍

[@helbergreen]

This style of wooden shelter is one of the best. Congratulations ! Your project turned out amazing.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks very much :) canbt wait to spend the night

[@boppo8782]

It will be great to make a community where people live like this.

[@tlopeyton9275]

Watching you build that house from scratch in 1 min is pretty wild

[@CM-tj1fg]

You are living the dream Andy!

[@KentSurvival]

:D

[@Dazzzzzzzzzzzzz]

If you could describe a moment of happiness its looking at what you’ve achieved. Nothing short of spectacular. Amazing job Andy.

[@nareshbalgobin8101]

Winter going to be wonderful dey

[@KentSurvival]

I cant wait :)

[@timwilson2435]

You've come a long way from that lean to that you spent a snowy night in, many years ago. Incidentally, that's also around the time I started watching your channel. And I still reckon, that along with Foresty Forest, that you have the best produced outdoor content on KZbin.

[@KentSurvival]

haha, youre not wrong, its nice having the freedom on this land. thanks tim, much appreciated

[@jonwest776]

Brilliant stuff. You've got a good foot of storage under that floor.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Jon, I did plan on a trap door.. maybe a later addition

[@rubywest6080]

Great work Andy. Very impressive. It needs a lot of patience to build,all that measuring,sawing and hammering. A huge task. You must be so proud ❤️👩🏻‍🦳🇬🇧🇦🇺

[@andybrowne7544]

Looking good! Did I notice the floor magically appear then disappear again? Must be the wood-elves at work!

[@andrewforrest8938]

Excellent video thanks Andy for sharing your hard workmanship on your shelter cheers Andy enjoyed watching your videos on the shelter build 😀 👍

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Andrew.. just to stay the night now :)

[@barbiechase]

[@sandyNichols-l5g]

And here's another video I haven't seen yet.. yay!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@claudelabelle7099]

Great work, looks awesome and bomb proof. I like what you've done with the roof. As usual, the steak was done to perfection.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Claude :)

[@Cannabishealz]

WOW what a nice little spot to get away from it all. Perfect!!!!! looking forward to seeing what to do with the spot in the future.

[@KentSurvival]

cant wait to spend the night :)

[@hendrikarqitekt6286]

Very good building technique, Andy. Well done. Do not cut you on the skeleton head.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers buddy, haha, banged my head several times already

[@pekkakoski6595]

Well that is a "laavu" as we finns call it. Cool!

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Pekka :) Laavu, dano hut, adirondack, lean to.. so many names.. im thinking skull camp haha

[@pleasedontcommentbeerguy5450]

mix up a bit of charcoal and Turps for the Skully Skully Chunky chaat Potato Sleeper ! 🤓

[@markweaver5872]

I'm impressed by your skills and work ethic. Many you-tubers roll out a tent or sleep in their bus, you actually build complete shelter-buildings from scratch, And very well.

[@miniwetwegrow8564]

Piękne schronienie i przemyślane pomysły. Bardzo to lubię. Pozdrawiam z Polski, Michał /A beautiful shelter and thoughtful ideas. I like it very much. Regards from Poland, Michael

[@bigkev7349]

[@williamcruz3590]

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers William

[@davidstenton4365]

Thoroughly enjoying watching this project come together Andy....

[@mikeks8181]

Starting From the end!? You have my mouth watering for a campfire Steak! In 2022!? How many people Could do this build Using What Our Forefathers Had? How Long Would it Take? History is being Taught every Build YOU Make! Love This Build as Much Your Silent Cooking Episodes! Thank You Andy For us the Viewers that Live through Your Experiences!

[@iaingodfrey9877]

I think the sheep skull adds a certain je ne sais quoi! You were lucky to find one with the horns still attached. Great looking steak. Not too rare. Fantastic cabin. I love the green roof.

[@mphigham1963]

Loved the series on this build Andy but I`m more looking forward to seeing you drag a lawn mower onto the roof to cut the grass 🤣🤣

[@SatriaChannel_08]

The forest is still very well preserved... the trees are still very lush... Very cool....the bushcraft shelter...

[@mendyviola]

Loving the log cabin build videos. It’s taking me back to my early childhood with my dad building something even more primitive in the woods behind our house when I was a kid to play in. I haven’t thought of those days in decades. Good times. ❤

[@Chucky-b7v]

What a great camp you have created, Andy.

[@stevefodor4269]

Andy! Un freaking real! Great job buddy! WOW!

[@aynsleycooper365]

Andy, we wish we were there, sharing the work and cooking. Keep it up.

[@chrisellerton1199]

Someone's been a busy boy,Looking fantastic!

[@st4y-c4lm44]

Lovely, lovely little camping area. Love it.

[@sueelphick9060]

Beautiful ...I hope you enjoy using it for many happy years in the woods

[@markhopo9335]

Well done Sir, you should be proud of that fantastic shelter. You should scatter some wild flower seed over the roof, tart the place up a bit

[@pleasedontcommentbeerguy5450]

i reckon, put some fruity shit

[@gloriahohman2790]

Well that is an impressive bushcraft shelter. I love it.

[@mawmawvee]

Love the shelter and that's a nice saw! My dad was good with hand tools and he would buy the best ones he could afford. I would follow him around as he worked in the basement of our home and he would explain the different tools and what they were used for and why. He had a lathe that would turn wood, or metal and, when I was very little, I would play with the shiny metal curls from his metal working. I would get fragments of the metal stuck in my hands and fingers, but that happened less and less as I learned to be more careful. Dad never got impatient with me, even though I must have gotten in his way at times.

[@Mikes_carnivore_journey]

That's one cool shelter! It will be especially nice with a proper snowfall ❄️🌨️🔥

[@lisalynch5537]

You must have been proud of yourself after that achievement 👏 well Done Andy 😀

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Super setup mate, look forward to many more with the cabin.

[@SamoyedMoms]

Bushcrafting vicariously through your videos, Andy, thank you for the diversions!. Looking forward to upcoming videos -- especially the cooking ones -- at your new shelter. This also is making me look even more forward to my upcoming camping trips (decidedly less rustic but cooking outdoors is the best!).

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :D glad youve enjoyed the build... cant wait to spend the night there now. Hope you have some cool camp trips over the summer !

[@oldtimer9879]

Feeling the same, thanks for the inspiration Andy.

[@4001002606]

Andy you have some serious bushcraft skills. Awesome build.

[@andyrr30]

When you popping the shelter on Air B&B lol, what a great escape and set up! I hope you walked Simon up there for a viewing

[@kingrafa3938]

What an amazing bushcraft camp Andy. Looking forward to your future overnighter or two on that fantastic shelter.

[@marianfrances4959]

Shaping up to be an awesome camp! I'm sure you're delighted! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲🔥🐏

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you Marian, im so happy with it, really looking forward to my first night there

[@douglafferty7688]

Stunning...simply stunning!!

[@ghostofkadesh9041]

Very nice 👍😃👍

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers :)

[@MountainMoonAdventures.]

Hi Andy!( Jon's wife commenting) I saw a video a while back,about the struggles of not being able to go to work as usual and being a care giver to a family member.I know how hard that can be.So the best way I can help is to play your entire playlist over and over😊As it is we are at 5 days straight,24/7.😊I hope this helps you get thru and we will continue to watch your videos everyday.I love your sense of humor and upbeat attitude,plus you and Simon together are a hoot!😆Stay strong,people love you.......Hamilton Anderson💕👍

[@stevemorris3710]

Wow, what an amazing achievement!

[@louel9272]

Wow! 2 things i envy from Northern countries are the evergreens and the seasons. I'm in the tropics and long straight logs are practically non-existent here, though bamboo is plentiful. But the weather is either very hot or very wet!

[@kawaiisakura7245]

Fascinating to see how you built the shelter.

[@melissabenoit9641]

The Shelter looks awesome Andy!! And what’s better then a Steak 🥩 in the Campfire?? Great video and as always make me hungry hahaha 😃😃🤟

[@KentSurvival]

[@cjdesign5700]
