[@kurts64]

Loved that bazza raid theme music! Way to leave us on a cliffhanger too...👍👍

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers Kurt, I really was tempted to use the theme music from Mission Impossible but didn't want the copyright strike lol

[@kurts64]

@@AlexDoes haha I was thinking the same thing

[@Thenocturnalstitcher]

Awesome progress Alex. Loved the Bazza part, he's quick, little buggar.

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers Karen, yes he is indeed a cunning adversary, and still a welcomed visitor.

[@forestwarrior4542]

Excelente, cada vez más cerca de terminar tu refugio. Y ese cuervo llegó para quedarse que barbaridad. Saludos cordiales 👋🏻

[@AlexDoes]

Gracias mi amigo. Sí, el pájaro es un visitante bienvenido y muy astuto para robar comida.

[@nemoooooooo13]

Bazza’s got some balls on him. The walls are certainly closing in…. In a good way 😅 !

[@AlexDoes]

Yeah I recon if he keeps stealing food he might end up being food! lol. Cheers mate

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Alex, love see'n that mud go on mate, nearly there on the outside, still looks a robust mix, great stuff.. No doubt Bazza is gonna pinch things, hahaha. the music worked well too. Cheers Duke.

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers Duke, 2 more episodes and all external walls will be done!

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

Walls are looking awesome Alex. Keep up the good work. 😃

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers mate, glad you approve, I'm really happy with how it's looking.

[@johnsaucerhunter]

I checked and there was indeed a section of the Bushcraft Shelter manifesto on Wheelchair access, so congrats... looks like your one of the first to include, well done! Seriously though, walls looking real good and a poster mentioned the insulating properties and he is correct on mud/clay walls. Have really enjoyed your channel Alex and can't wait to see how it continues to evolve, Cheers!

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers John, yes I've definitely noticed a difference with temperature holding inside the shelter. Thanks for your ongoing support and valuable commentary mate.

[@paulbeckwith2685]

Grest days work mate, love the ramp easy access commiserations about the sleep pad, time for an upgrade lol stay safe mate

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers Paul, I've got a new sleep pad waiting at the Post Office! lol

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Wow Alex, hut is looking fantastic

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers, yeah I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming along, glad you approve.

[@CDPOutdoors]

It's coming along good mate All the best Clive

[@AlexDoes]

Thanks Clive.

Great clip Alex. Been using self inflating mats for about 25 years. Never had a puncture. My solution has always been to use a ground sheet under the tent. $10 dollar investment. Get around 10 years use from each cheap blue tarp. Looking to get the Alton Goods tub groundsheet. Will still put cheap tarp underneath to increase lifespan.

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers Brad, actually for most of the year I have been using a ground sheet under the tent also. I think I get most punctures while the pad is rolled up in my bag. I've never tried the self inflating mats as they always seem a bit bulky. I have ordered the Alton Goods insulated pad so you'll see that in the new year.

[@shelliinthewild]

Channels doing well Alex, making good content for sure.

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers Shelli, how have you been, have you camped much lately?

[@HaydenWilsonOutdoors]

Dude, this is one of the most amazing bushcraft shelters on KZbin! I'm jealous as heck! Will you do a door that opens and closes?

[@HaydenWilsonOutdoors]

@Master Yoshi How good would it be 👌 Then he can make his own door sign, make a plank of wood and burn Alex's Shack or something into it, hang it from the door with twine

[@AlexDoes]

Cheers dude, yes 100% doing a door. Not sure how but it will happen. It wont be high security but the door will help keep the heat in during summer and the wildlife out when I'm not there. Have you had a chance to get back to your build?

[@HaydenWilsonOutdoors]

@@AlexDoes If anyone can do it, it's you 💪 Keen to see more progress. Well that's true, do any get in there and make a mess other than sneaky birds? Do you find you get cobwebs in there often? I have actually, recently had my GoPro replaced because it broke so now I've started recording again but now it's bloody raining here 🙃

[@AlexDoes]

@@HaydenWilsonOutdoors nah no cobwebs, there's a few bugs slowly eating their way through the wood though lol. Mate I'm really keen to see you upload some more shelter content.

[@66srsen66]

dude, dont tell me Bazza has gone to the Camp Currawong in the sky. that would really suck. Your shelter certainly doesnt suck though, what did i say before you even started building this thing? that your shelter will be amazing. call me Craigstradamus

[@AlexDoes]

If you are the true Craigstradamus perhaps you can tell me what happened to Bazza? Lol....cheers for your kind review as always dude.

[@normrathmann9487]

Looking great there Alex,will you have a disability toilet mate (hand rails) joke.Na doing a great job mate.

[@AlexDoes]

lol...wait till I do the short bus parking spaces! Cheers Norm.

[@bobbysaint6969]

Love the video man do you think you going to live there at one point

[@AlexDoes]

Yeah nah, maybe if society collapses I could move in but the area is a bit short of food sources unfortunately. Totally stoked you're enjoying the content.

[@holdenbrougham1056]

Is this hut on private land or public land and is it OK to stay , once built a fairly good hut on forestry property and they eventually found it and burnt it down , not sure if it was forestry people or just some prick arsenist

[@AlexDoes]

It's on forestry land. I completely expect them to bulldoze it next time the log the area there .

[@holdenbrougham1056]

@@AlexDoes maybe they might spare it and leave it, but think they take them down to stop trespassing
