I really dig the editing, camera shots, and music for 13:23 - 14:05.

Spreading mulch, laughing with friends, feeling worn out but happy. Standing back and looking at the fruits of a long day's labor as the sun dips below the tree line and a peaceful cool breeze comes in. Heading home for a relaxing shower, a good meal, maybe a bit of reading then a night of deep sleep. Getting up at sunrise the next day to do it again. I've enjoyed your videos for a long time, but this one just happened to strike me in that unique nostalgia-triggering way.

I've really enjoyed a few bushcraft youtubers for a while, but never found their project even remotely approachable, even the "basic" ones. This was awesome, one because you guys make this stuff fun, and B, it totally seems like I could just go do that if I had a patch of woods around. Also, in less tame forest I think it might be a little easier then you might think, depending on the quality of leaf litter on the ground. Instead of mulch you might get lucky and just find a crapton of perfect leaves. Still a big chunk of the day, I bet, but you might even have some daylight left if things go well.

Fun fact: I'm a member of the Lakota souix tribe. And yes the number of sticks and type of construction does determine what you're building. Just like a house is a house, but technically that's not true. At the end of the day, it's all just a shelter.

If you bought more rope and heavy duty rope tent stakes you could throw the rope over top of the three big logs and stake it down making thin long "branches". Then weave leafy branches into the rope and cover it with debris and it would be a quicker way to make a tipi in the wilderness. Make sure you dig out a small hole where the 3 base logs are going into the ground so when you wrap the rope around the top and stake it tightly the 3 base logs become more securely rooted into the ground thus becoming more stable.

[@gonetoheck]

I just saw this shelter in the background of a vid you posted today (Oct. 30th). I made a teepee / tipi in my backyard 9 months ago but didn't have access to the nice cedar trees that you guys did. That cedar will last like forever since it's rot and insect resistant. It would be great against wind and snow...but not rain. The structure I built was made from lengths of 2x4 lumber screwed together to kinda form 4x4 beams (instead of using freshly cut trees like you had access to). I made the beams 20 feet long and the diameter of the base once complete was right at about 20 feet across as well (bigger than what I really need...but size matters !). I used a cheap Walmart polytarp...and after 9 months of being exposed to the elements, the west facing side blew out (sun damaged rot) during a windy Saturday evening. The rest of the tarp was fine...just gotta remember to keep the tarp out of the sun if it's going to be outside for months on end. Currently am replacing the tarp with a couple smaller ones that are more heavy duty and silver / reflective...which may hold up better when exposed to the sunshine (hopefully). It may look like a space ship from a distance...but can't always please the neighbors !! Cheers, Brad

[@hsadreamerofrlyeh7516]

Heres some info on building teepee shelters as you asked. All logs need to be roughly the same length. imagine a circle with a point in the middle. then add a line, and one next to it, ad one next to it, and one next to it, until the entire circle has been filled in. that would be the top-down view of a teepee type shelter. As for the knot on top, as you make the initial poles wider apart, and expand the circle, a loose knot should get tighter due to being stretched. For a semi-permanent shelter, pack on wet clay based mud, (or whatever you have, but clay based works best) over the top of all your logs and brush to fill in gaps, and cover the wood, adding waterproofing and a layer of insulation. Another tip for adding warmth is to dig a trench, about 6 inches deep by a foot wide, under where you would sleep, leading under the walls and outside the shelter. You can fight a fire on it, cover it with a clay or rock slabs, and build bedding of leaves, grass, and a sleeping bag over it. The smoke should vent out through the escape tunnel, and it will heat up the ground under you.

[@johnpoo4341]

I always look forward to getting a notification from this channel

[@Knifiac]

I was in boy scouts until I got Eagle and was at a summer camp doing the wilderness survival badge once. One of the requirements was to make a makeshift shelter out of only the things we could gather in the large Forest by the camp, and SLEEP IN IT FOR A NIGHT. I did sort of a triangular prism that was super long with branches leaning from each side held together by 2 central branches running the length of it lashed together on the top and bottom of the crossing areas with vines that grew in the area, then the entire too lashed the whole way round. Fortunately, it had rained heavily the day before so there was a lot of thick mud and wet leaves to seal off all the gaps. So the night rolls around and lo and behold another massive storm was rolling through. I was worried I was gonna get soaked but let me tell you that shit was WATER TIGHT. I was dry as a bone in the morning, most other people being a little wet, but we were all older scouts so nothing major. It something I'm still extremely proud of to this day and it was really fun watching this video! Tip though, I would have advised you gather mulch and dirt together and soak it with water, then let it air out a little, but not all the way. Mud/wet mulch, things of that kind, are excellent for sealing it really tightly. Overall great job though (even if you cheated :) )

[@DJFelixChester]

To answer your question about height: I was taught to stand up straight, put my arm straight up in the wait fingers to the sky, then bend my wrist at a right angle, this is your max shelter height. The two main reasons for this are; (a) that is the max height you can really maneuver something above your head comfortably without needing some additional tool (which is wasted time and calories in a survival situation, and (b) the larger your shelter the more "void" space it has inside it, and by extension more space your body heat or fire will have to warm for you to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Dear Modern Rogue, I have been watching your videos for years now and I would like to offer my advice as an Eagle Scout based in San Antonio. the best way to tie a tripod is to basically go over the first, under the second, over the third, back under the third, over the second, etc. I reccomend doing this at least 3-5 times to get a nice sturdy base to then put up. SIncerely, The Modern Eagle

[@Andres-xi7tw]

Watching Murphy chop trees brings me intense joy.

[@peteaskme8926]

Okay... So a few tips: one) try to keep the height below you're height. This helps the thatching process and allows more heat condensing. two) if the base poles are too long causing you to shorten but spread too far outward for the space available, break/saw them off at just over your height, that should allow for a comfortable laying space. three) Build up insulation from the ground, think nesting. This makes a "bubble of shelter" insulating from the ground and the seeping rainwater. Other than that a great first attempt and always cheat if you have the option! Bushcraft isn't about the purity of the art... It's about doing what needs done to survive. Loved this video, it reminded me of my youth in Washington state. Sequoia Forrest shelters and playing cowboys and indians and mountainman.

[@ShadowardVZ]

Back in middle school, some friends and I built a shelter beneath a tree in the nearby woods. We stood up branches and tied them together using vines to make walls, and used leafy branches and large fronds to make overhead cover. We actually stayed in it for a bit when a short but sudden storm came through and we were completely dry when it passed. Not too bad for a bunch of kids just goofing off and having fun.

[@dreamingwolf8382]

[@KalRandom]

Hey Guys, When you first tie them together go about a foot and a half down from the ends to give yourself a larger crows mouth to set the other logs in, next you set 1 log in each opening around and keep going around the structure like that till you fill in all area as much as you can, minus the opening ofc.

[@TheStrangerous]

Kal Random Thank you! That’s helpful.

[@Thomas-jc3bv]

tfw Jason's haphazard worry knots end up being a semi-correct tripod lash

[@Rilagooma]

For makeshift shelters, a smaller one just for sleeping in is usually a better way to spend your calories. A shelter made out of an A-frame that slopes towards the ground that allows you to lay down in it is a good option and not too hard to make. Plus, you use less materials, and your body heat doesn't have to fill up such a large space. Easier to waterproof too as you can easily reach the top of it to lay leaves and brush so that the water runs off. A bigger shelter is a fine choice if you want somewhere to spend time out of the elements, but they require a lot more pre-prep to make well. The Teepee design is a good choice, though obviously some better knot tying is in order. Next time try to find large broad plants to lay on it like shingles and in such a way that water can run down the sides. If you're expecting heavy rain, a small irrigation ditch around the edge and draining away from the inside is something to consider. Also, there usually isn't much of a reason to make it tall enough to stand in, some upright sitting space and room for your camping gear is all you really need (and obviously enough room to lay down). Also, maybe digging holes for the main posts to sit in so that they don't slide out and fall on you in your sleep like a three legged gymnast doing the splits. Just remember that the lower your shelter is the less effected by wind it will be and the less material you'll have to use, saving time and energy, and putting less weight on the structure overall.

Nice tee-wam-yurt... I read in a book once about how a tribe made their shelters out of freshly cut turf/sod. First they erected the wooden frames, got them study, and then stacked the squares of dirt and grass and roots around like bricks (almost Minecraft-esque). It occurred to me during phase three that you guys might have just as well dug a cave into the mulch pile and lived there, it might have been easier... (By the way, the outro with the camera guy showing the aftermath of the shelter was a nice touch... and a testament to the build.)

At 2:45 you should have lashed them together, there is a specific lashing to make a tripod. It's great to know how to do. Just remember to use at least 3 fraps (the rotations around the poles) and 2 tight wraps (wrapping the rope around the rope). It starts and ends with a clove hitch. I'd attempt to write down exactly how to do it but it'd be easier if you had images to work off of the first time so just look up a tripod lashing. -Your friendly neighborhood eagle scout.

if you had a short stout log 2 feet wide 2 feet long you could stand on it and lash it with it standing up or if you have branches with a Y at one end then you can rest the other two in the Y and stand it up often where i live near the coast you can find people myself included build them on the beach for reference in live in California. 8:00 you can use large flat sections of bar off redwood trees although i really depends on where your are location wise. large chunks of moss and grass help with filling gaps and preventing water from getting through fine root systems with dirt helps prevent water from going through.

[@befuddled2010]

I love how at around 14:00 they say it's a 1 day affair to build it, then when they water test it the thing leaks like a sieve. Good thing they had all that mulch so readily available because without it they would have never gotten off the ground. If it had not been there, it would have taken them forever. While the results with the readily available mulch were not great, just imagine what the results would have been without it. I've been in modern tents in an August late summer sierra rain and gotten completely soaked, and that took 12 hours of steady down pour! Think of what 12 hours of rain in this thing would feel like. What they just constructed is a joke, but not funny if you were inside it expecting protection from the elements.

"It's getting cold..." I work outside, and I'm jealous. Edit: and then, I find out, that was 2 and a half months ago.

It's not knots that you needed to learn for this episode, but lashings (which could be an episode of their own -- there are probably fewer lashings to teach, but each will take longer than a knot). Knots are for tying rope together or to things, such as making loops or tying the rope to a branch, but lashings are for tying things together, such as two or more logs. I don't know if these are called different things elsewhere, but these are the two lashings I remember from Boy Scouts: the shear lashing will tie together parallel logs so it's good for making tripods (like in this video), and the square lashing will tie together perpendicular logs.

Good job guys. It's nice to see that you built a structure that doesn't have day light showing threw it.
