No $300 boots, $600 Falkraven pants, or $1,000 Jacket or $200 knife. Just old jeans, kicks, a coat and basic tools. 😊 Just lot of inspiration to get out there!

[@jacobhald1377]

I also thought about that. First video i see of this guy, and he just looks so... "dad" - but like, in a good way. This is just some dude that uses what he has makes it work. No fancy stuff. This could be anyone.

Bushcraft videos did/have gotten out of a hand a bit. Over an hour long, pushing products and unreasonably expensive. This is just right. Not over produced, no self promotion, no product promotion, no sponsors, just a guy quietly building a massive shelter by hand!

Stumbled into this channel. I really like it, no weird music...just 100% the great outdoors...thank you for your video.

[@robertgoss4842]

Excellent video. No jabbering, no music, just the nitty-gritry work, and the proud owner, kneeling in the doorway. One of the very best videos I've seen in the bush craft arena. Well done.

[@NatureBound]

Thank you very much!

[@lorisoich7098]

This is what my sister and I grew up learning! We built a smaller version of this to show Dad we paid attention. 😉 Forwarded this to my youngest son who seems to think he knows it all and could go up the mountain and stay if shtf.

The last night of star gazing was spectacular. I have never seen so many shooting stars. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Congratulations on your marriage. May you and aerin have a long happy life.

[@scotland.is.magical528]

Made similar in scotland. Used willow woven in lateral bands to give extra strength. Still standing 3 years on.

[@davidgraham2673]

We used to make these when I was a boy. The pine needles made a thick mat on the ground, and we'd carefully scoop up thick layers to cover the tee-pee with. We never put a fire inside though. Any fire pit was outside, in a cleared out area with nothing but dirt around it. Great way to spend some time in the pine woods.

One amber off that fire and it’s party on. I’d never sleep in that. No way. I couldn’t. Highly flammable.

[@randybugger3006]

I'm a little jealous of these guys with open woodlands to play in. The woods locally are so thick with underbrush that in some places it's impassable. It's a miracle if I can find a 5'x5' patch that's plant-free to put a tent down.

[@stevemac8956]

This looks like a plantation. They have plenty of open space to build things in.

[@kevinsmith4814]

I'm using them for inspiration. I shall make something out of my family 30 acres of trees.

[@alph8654]

[@richardjones2006]

Underbrush equals biodiversity, the monoculture plantation here has little of that due to acidified soil and little light getting in.

[@Juliabushcraft]

I suffer from anxiety, watching this was so peaceful and relaxing. I subscribed. Love from The Blue Mountains in Australia.

[@user-be4fm7zy1r]

Когда у меня были панические атаки , смотрела " лесные" , там ребята вдвоем с собакой строили в разных местах тайги разные домики( из камней , дерева, землянки). Это очень лечебные видео. Подключается память выживания, спокойный ритм, природа. Наедине с землей чувствуешь защиту от нее. И еще люблю ставить звуки огня в камине или костра в лесу. Удачи вам , далекий друг из Австралии. Держите эмоциональное равновесие и любовь. Это помогает Земле и тому месту, где вы живете быть спокойным в стихиях❤

Is there anyone who doesn't "suffer from anxiety"? At this point I'm thinking it's just part of being a human being. Maybe we don't need to constantly be telling everyone we encounter about it

When watching building campsites,I often wonder whose land they're building on.Quite often,imaginning confrontations happening from those claiming land ownership.

The southern hemisphere winter is the best time to camp. No rain or freezing temps. As a kid I had my bed on the ground not too near the fire & I was in the land of nod in no time. If this teepee had been built for our family our camping trip would have been outstanding!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Any fella who is Canadian and looks a bit like Doug Linker has my attention right away! This is a fine style of shelter and I'm looking forward to seeing its performance over time.

[@phild8095]

Y'all got some nice poles growing there. Look at that woods, no underbrush. I've slept on ground like that, that ground is perfect. cushioned, somewhat insulated.

[@toryalaihart1882]

Man... That's got to be the most fantastic implementation of a tipi that I've seen -- the perfect balance of engineering, art, eco design, practicality, simplicity, level-of-effort to end-result efficacy -- and last but not least, adds a hobbit mound coziness to the tipi concept. Many thanks for taking the time to document and share your "savoir-faire" with the world beyond 😊

Laying here in my bed on a Saturday morning alone watching this wonderful video inspired me to make my own tent

[@BL-no7jp]

The man is doing it the right way, in a pine forest. My ancestors built Tipi’s in the Eastern states. It was the most practical shelter back in the day. This Tipi is awesome! I think he could used a stronger cord, around the top, but his knowledge and skills were outstanding and impressive.

[@gomezgomez7759]

What knots were those?

[@dsonyay]

Reminds me how we constructed our annual new year’s eve bonfire.. rhat thing is a perfect bonfire.. ready to go. Just add a good fire.

[@BiNumLi]

A Teepee has to be the best survival structure. Wind resistant. Max floor space. Good height for walking. Easy construction if you have straight saplings nearby. In terms of work load there is no hauling logs or heavy stones. Just need an axe and some heavy cordage. Great.

[@mattbrown837]

Looks warm, be careful of sparks.

[@varealestate77]

lot of work and skill It would take me a full day or more to build that looks like at least 25 poles.. it works well for the location. in a pine forest. in many places you cannot find all those pine needles and moss. or the space to build one that big

[@keithfaulk1354]

Big enough for two people would be fine with me!! His and hers!! ❤❤

[@SnowTiger45]

I'd use a smaller version of this for a temporary shelter but not for long term. Once those needles dry out, one spark and that wigwam is going to go up like it was Gasoline. I would want a much sturdier structure for long term use. Meanwhile, this will be much warmer and dryer than your average Lean-Too.

[@tripbreaker]

The fact that you did all this without breaking into song once is what amazed me. No Creedence? No Eagles, man? Great job, man.

[@alexanderp7207]

Definitely a good temporary shelter and easy enough to build in a few hours by oneself or quicker with a couple buddies. Unfortunately not being secured in the ground, plus all those pine needles: it's susceptible to rain, strong winds, fire, and a lot of bugs. Good for a new nights in fair weather (be careful of sparks from the fire!). Whats good though is after it eventually topples over, it's all natural and will be home for some forest critters for years before it decomposes :)

[@burniejarvis9298]

I slightly disagree with you on the pine needles. If you have a blanket to lay over them they make for a very good bed. I have done it before. But that's about all.

[@elzaaltmann]

Attach here and there to the Pine trees, giving it more stability

[@robholloway749]

This guy sure not lazy

[@BacktoRootsPermaculture]

If he used sod as an underlayer to the needles and then mud as an over layer it would be waterproof and relatively fire retardant. He could use a door but a pretty bad ass build.

[@kennethboston8301]

One of the things that I always put in my backpack are those heavy duty construction grade black plastic bags. That tee pee was very cool, but I would have taken one of those bags I carry and placed it over the entrance. You can take another bag and use it for a ground cloth to lay on. One of those emergency blanket's with the foil on one side. Makes a great sleeping bag to roll up in. That tee pee looks pretty cozy dude. It has plenty of room, blocks out the wind and even a rain storm. Good job bro.✌️👍

A single spark from that fireplace will set the whole thing on fire. Besides that was great to watch.

[@Davewutsup]

It will be a tinder box. The more you have a campfire inside that thing it will start to dry out the thatching and become even more ignitable. There'd be no way to put it out because it would be deep and smoldering you need a damn fire hose 😵,, plus that debris would slowly fall into your bedding and into your food and coffee. Not to mention the Lyme disease ticks coming right at you ✨🤠✨ you got to have bug spray or some kind of like mint oil peppermint oil and clove oil on your skin to help keep ticks off of you because they hate fumes.
