bushcraft survival long term wilderness shelter part 3 of 7 building the shelter.wmv

[@Vinnytrampolini]

finnaly some one with a step by step video to build this type of shelter, there are others, but not as detailed as this one, and this guy really knows what he's doing, thanks for the upload!

[@USMCRadioman]

Brilliant! Zip ties are light, very easy to pack & reusable. They are also strong.

[@Slimpickins71]

If you dont like his ways then dont watch his videos. There are a hundred ways and materials you could use.....get out there and experiment. Great video sir. Thank you for sharing.

[@northshorebushlore5902]

Great job, ignore the trolls, Great example of a long term shelter, calm patient building with a purpose is all it takes and I love the zip ties for ease of assembly. way better than lashings for a light framework example. I just wish you would post more

[@albooboo2669]

One of the best videos I've seen.

[@jbhix2691]

I like the zip ties. Quick and easy. 👍

[@jakeharrison2685]

I think even Gilligan would be impressed. Nice construction.

[@MrWalloping]

I love the bit when you walk over your shelter.keep up the good work

[@josephdube7968]

i do and zip ties are awsome half the time lol!!! awsome camp!!!

[@Yog3r]

great work sit, I respect people who could manage to live in wilderness

[@susaneaster6652]

Presuming you have just not got lost in the woods...zip ties seem like a good idea for loads of things...easy and light to carry..dont take up too much space ect.

[@edubassplayer2]

loved this video! i wish here in Brasil was possible of making such kind of shelter, unfortunatly i can't see myself sleeping in the jungle(yes jungle) without a hammock raised at least 2 meters of the ground.

[@2012Makumba]

Leave him alone with the zip ties and concentrate on the shelter, very well done! Kudos to him!!!

[@skinnydog131]

That forest has the perfect wood, very straight.

[@TheSamilyn]

Love these, thank you so much for posting sir, excellent builds!

[@RDPproject]

Blooming heck mate...that shelter is gonna last some time. Would be really nice to see it in action next winter when it starts to snow again. Rob.

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

I am enjoying this mini series

[@SirThunderPants]

OH ZIP TIES!!! I didn't think of those. They are deff going into my BOB. Thanks!

[@kenadk8823]

I thought the zip ties were clever and much faster. I'm gonna carry some in my bag now.

[@69Grunden]

Amazeing stuff, I never seen anyone do that before. Nice job...

[@amrasurvival5580]

very nice construction thanks for sharing

[@incognito2059]

Your work shows for itself. Very nice.

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

Great saw handle making techniques. I've seen antique saws that must have been made this way. Very helpful. Thanks

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

all you really need in the woods is a loin cloth and a cellphone lol great video sir!!!

[@Kboy_]

Nice. Iill be building one next weekend.

[@steinderbush]

Mr, that,s a goog idea with the zip ties!! nice video!!

[@mariaotero5601]

Great job done 👍!

[@VolunteerMinimum]

a raised bed with two socks!?! wow I wanna see that...LOL just playing with ya. Nice shelter.

[@SpectrumSurvivalist]

I used to do road work, I did all the silt fence. I hammered and put it in properly every time, but when I needed to repair it, I used zip ties. Zip ties hold up just fine and they are fast, however, they are not for very long term, since they degrade with the sun. For just getting it done though till you add more permanent solutions such as steel wire, they would work fine on a shelter.

[@twocrow]

I think the lesson here is to always carry a saw blade, a big axe and a lot of zip ties just in case, because you never know.

[@hk2200]

Awesome nice work, will bring zip ties as part of my gear now.. great idea 💡

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

When TSHTF I gotta remember to bring Zip-Ties....😁

[@1s1t1e1v1e1]

Everyone adds their two cents and criticisms but that is a great shelter

[@Shamwell15]

Zip ties are brilliant!

[@ihatepms]

if you are going out to survive on the land you bring items which will simplify certain things, such as the zipties, with you. Certain items which you can only use once, my zip-tie-tree is packed...

[@InstantAttraction1]

This guy is a CHAMPION!

[@saiaddict]

at the vary end did you hear that knocking sound i think that could be a sasquatch . it sound a lot like a wood knock

[@mindphlux24]

in a survival situation, if you built one of these there wouldnt be any forrest left to be lost in lol. i love it though, i'd love to build one of these :D

[@pdoutdoors7272]

Wow,,, you are the man!

[@MUDSTERmachine]

this is exactly the way i would like to live !

[@sgtboz9730]

I already have large zip ties in my ruck, and they are a good thing to have, especially if speed is needed. They are also excellent for replacing J clips on canteen covers, ammo pouches, etc.

[@mariaotero5601]

Awesome job kudos!

[@richard2mitchell]

i used to be in a group that would go out and make them shelters like this for people that was realy lost and to date (this was 13 years ago i did this) 18/25 are still up and we safed over 40+ people

[@pdoutdoors7272]

Man I miss your videos!!

[@kennymcormick6610]

I MISS HIS VIDEOS AS WELL

[@chadallen9140]

I guess you could use cordage instead of zip ties. But I like the idea of using them for a long term type shelter.

[@AdDiCtEdToWiNd]

rain drainage is missing!!! Seems to be pretty stable ;-) stands a heavy load of snow probably

[@bradwatson7324]

This is interesting because we here in modern times are so separated from nature. But, the odds of needing to know this are remote in the extreme.

[@XxEPICxRHINOxX]

lol twiss ties lol thats vary handy to have when your in the wilderness sure hope they have a place there that sells them ha

[@Preetzole]

Nice job you made stairs... now make the actual SHELTER!!!

[@Redshift313]

Nice work yeah... only thing... I would NOT have built on a slope... or I'd of made the opening facing down hill. Nice build though !!!

[@Wolfzarie]

It looks damn solid man. What about heavy rainfall, is it steep enough?

[@jeffroy3262]

nice jump :) good work

[@daveyboy3628]

Whoa whoa....HOLD ON your cheating. You heard the trolls you can't use zip ties. Or an axe or a knives or anything made after the medieval times. No, no....your supposed to chew that wood apart and tie it together with vines. And a real man doesnt need an axe he just punches those trees down. Yeah that's right. That's what a real man does........ I guess he was supposed to make a 4 1/2 hr video tying everything together with string. Grow up idiots. Your gonna give him cap because he used zip ties, even though his shelter will last for years and your little shelter would probably fall down if a bird flew by it. I'm sick of trolls. This guy has forgotten more about bushcraft than most of you will ever know.

[@acebinko1]

May I redirect you to a channel that provides a counterexample to your arguement? Primitive Technology, I highly suggest you watch a few videos and then restate an arguement.

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

Everybody watching knows the guy can tie knots. They gotta blow BS about something cause they are armchair experts. That's what they do. I've built similar shelters. It's not an easy task. Finding material and prep is the hardest part in my opinion. I wish he would have spent more time on this.

[@MrScott8449]

Same thing here in Southern AZ. You'd have to use Yucca stalks, and those aren't very sturdy.

[@alexpoz09]

great vid 5/5

[@jmg1957]

peace from mississippi.

[@VenturiLife]

Cable ties... great idea..

[@stafski7]

The people who critisize are usually the 1s who have never sampled the outdoors.they talk a good game but when push comes to shove,i know who i'd rather be with...

[@joshuanichols199]

I agree zip ties are a good idea

[@DarkMoonDroid]

What about rain on the ground? Do you just pick a nice high spot that won't flood out?

[@audacyspectrum3612]

2019: Legend has it, the zip ties are still holding 😁

[@opmdevil]

One could propably make this kind of shelter without a zip ties and without too much rope. Anyhows, zip ties are a good idea, strong and secure and reusable, depending on the zip tie of course.

[@IKUIKUgogo555]

I was wondering what kind of knot are you using for building this?? But then based on the action and sound, are you using zip tie?

[@ianrsigel]

Add a sauna and I Might be impressed...Seriously, Well Done. }:-)

[@thaiguysabu]

are you using heavy duty zip ties, or just regular?

[@kinzuaBrian]

nice work

[@Maartenn100]

How do you bind the sticks together. You don't use any ropes. What are these materials?

[@ryandean360]

isnt paracord not that cheap? wouldnt twine or something work just as good?

[@starblazer64]

You can use spruce roots instead of zip ties but try to limit it to two per tree.

[@BackcountryPatriot]

Thats why you have camps prebuild and concealed in different bug out locations so you don't have to worry about it. If you want a fast shelter just go with some bungee cords, tent states, 550 cord and a tarp. You can thrown the thing up in a couple minutes and have it down in 30 seconds. This is a long term shelter.

[@DangerDad29]

@greenhorns99 i would hope most going out into any wilderness would at least bring a useful knife and some cord. paracord is nice but just a roll of twine is good too. think the cable ties were just to hold everything in place for the demo

[@werewolf212001]

what length are your zip ties or cable ties that you use i am trying to find the right ones for this shelter and would really like to know which size i should use and how many i should use for it

[@ClearAdventure]

You can get 1,000 of them from Walmart for $14. I am sure they ship everywhere. And they come in many sizes/lengths in that tall plastic jar.

[@WSRandSurvival]

where are you getting all of this straight wood?

[@guyfarran3356]

I think what he's done is brilliant and I don't see why he's getting so much shit over using cable ties.. If you're going to go wandering around a forest you don't know very well then you bring a kit with you.. simple. you don't go empty handed unless you're a complete fool or know the area well and are some sort of bush craft master. (Even though I carry para cord in my kit I will be putting cable ties in my kit as well after watching this! If you need to built a shelter in a hurry and you have freezing cold hands you aren't going to want to be messing around tying knots + I'm sure there are hundreds of uses for zip ties in a survival situation e.g clamping a severed artery or if you have thick ones then I reckon you could carve a fishing hook out of one without too much trouble! The possibilities are endless as long as you use your imagination!) Plus this is just giving people a rough idea (you can build exactly the same without using zip ties, axes and saws! You can use roots, vines or thin strips of young tree bark if you have too!) and he's using them to save time instead of us having to wait for him to tie every knot then cut the cord and then seal it 50 times over. Although if you are in a real survival situation you should try to avoid cutting wood and try collecting it off the ground to save your much needed calories. Please ignore the ignorant unprepared people. They obviously lack imagination and the mindset to survive if they cannot think for themselves to just use something other than zip ties.. You sir shall be receiving my like and I hope you have more videos I can check out, Keep up the good work!

[@delgado3736]

What are you tieing the wood with?? Rubber bands

[@chicken4247]

lol he destroyed the skeptics lmao well done

[@williampytte1530]

use baling twine, cheap, strong, and if you go to any farm they have tons.

[@jkd185]

good stuff.

[@ZackLemonShow]

what season is this that he is making the shelter ?

[@Epidermis60]

Sorry, but what exactly is a zip tie and where can I find it?

[@RandomTorok]

8:15 why cut off the tail pieces?

[@UTK16]

You sir, are a fucking genius! Here in norway it's an Island where people can camp, i'm going to set up the same frame there and just take my tarp with me whenever i'm going there to fish etc.. Thanks!

[@johnwan75146]

hardware store. think of it as a plastic 'hand cuff' w/ a one way ratchet. they can make fast work puttin stuff together, but when startin a zip tie you cant undo it, you have to cut it.

[@ClearAdventure]

You can undo them. Just stick the tip of a knife blade flat against the pin in the hole that catches the tie, and it will slide right out.

[@pozionmynd]

zip ties are cheating, i hope you take all rubish home with you, ie:zip ties... Anyway nice video and great shelter :)

[@ClearAdventure]

The best survival tool to add to your gear is cheating?? What are you, 5??

[@ciferific]

Also known as a cable tie. Just do a google search and you'll find them. Personally I like using cordage, because I like tying knots. But to each their own.

[@jraybu09]

cable ties would be ideal for a good shelter....dont know why you expect anyone to question that....now what i would like to see is for you to build a similar shelter with only what is around you....give me something that strong

[@MTNGEARKING]

Who is using the chain saws in the background??

[@buenodacostarb]

muito bom...

[@chrisbyars4422]

Strip bark from greenwood poles, then cut them into strips and lash the structure together. I bet the camera operator was very careful NOT to show his truck with tool box.

[@MrFoleyloaded]

tie wire,,or even hemp string would be more my flavor.. but plastic zip ties?? maybe police grade =P.... oh and the roof angle should be shorter and steeper.. just saying or water will build up and roof repair looks certain.. and the rain does blow up,down,left,right, anyways just saying i kinda do this on the normal so i had to comment. .. nice attempt thow at saving time and calories haha .

[@shamasi1968]

I see your point, but as this video is not "lost in woods" but is instead, "building long term shelter" I am assuming that you would go in prepared. Plus, between my DH, sons, and I there are 5 vehicles and in each there is a pack of multi-sized zip ties. Along with two survival blankets, two regular blankets, 20 tea light candles, 4 tea light candle holders made of Veinna Sausage cans, one small sauce pan, nut rolls, sunflower seeds, and bottled water. This is my idea of survival just in case.

[@raybin2086]

I watched this video when it came out . hope to hear from this gentleman at some point in the future. Hope he is doing well.

[@nicko978]

People don't get it. Use whatever resources you have. If you a pocket full of lightweight reusable plastic ties... use them. Look how much time he saved. He also said he was going to tighten it down later. Ties are a wonderful universal tool they always have a place in my pack too.

[@polanmi]

" when your done playing outside can u come in and fix the sink!!!"

[@LUCKYB.]

did he zip ties come from wall mart or did you find a zip tie tree ?

[@Mutlap]

where's your screws, drill, sheetrock and hammer ?

[@pyrodownhiller]

what tree grow these "zip ties"?

[@Fusionfreakdrummer]

did he say he would go around it later with his pot of gold???? he was like " i will go around it later with pot of gold,tighten it all up"

[@ghillisniper300]

I don't have a million but I have a couple hundred. They go camping with me just in case, along with duct tape, electrical tape, jute twine, cotton twine, 550 cord, and random shoe strings. There is a lot of usefulness in all of that for very little weight.

[@supremeruler1968]

Nice shelter but I hate the Zipties

[@ClearAdventure]

Then you hate survival.
