I recall we were traveling around europe backpacking with little money in the south of France. We always slept in the open. When the weather was poor at times often raining for days or longer at we used to make shelters etc. Even amongst the steep rock edges by the coast we were able to build weather proof shelter with materials found. We could stay in them for days without being disturbed and keeping warm ,dry and fed. I learnt these things playing as a child on open ground and farmland. People too soft and timid these days.

[@southronjr1570]

When I was a teenager, I went deep into the woods on my family farm and built a similar shelter. It's roof was no where near as elaborate or as neatly detailed. I simply dug a room into the side of a steep hillside with a steeped roof of clay soil that I reenforced with some old fence posts and a ridge pole. On one wall I had a bed shelf dug and opposite had a little fireplace dug into the wall with a chimney I dug down from the top with post hole diggers. It took me a few fires and redesigns and some research in the Foxfire books to figure out that directly above the fire has to be the narrowest part of the chimney. Ended up using a section of old 8 in stove pipe buried in the ground with a top to keep from setting the woods on fire. The outside wall I laid a bunch of pine logs vertically and then heaped leaf litter up on it to insulate it. Shortly after I got married I was able to convince my wife to spend a night in it with me but by that time it had been about 2 years and the log wall was begining to rot and it seems some coyotes had made it into theirs over the preceding summer. I cleaned it up and she stayed one night with me, doubt I could convince her to do it again, except maybe as a way to get away from the kids for a full nights sleep for a change.

It enhances the video when the Mic is on and you can hear what is being done as well as, if the person talks or mumbles to themselves or brushes a knuckle. The more real it is, in my opinion; the better the video is! The more you cover up the background noise with music...you take away the quality of the video! Remember, the type music you just LOVE, maybe offensive to the ear of someone trying to watch your video, so they turn off their sound, and then they can't hear what you say.

Simon Kenton and his two trapping companions actually made a similar structure in 1771, near present-day Charleston, WV. They spent two winters there. Needless to say, it wasn’t as luxurious as the permanent homes of the time with their shingles of painted wood. It also needed consistent tending to. However, it served these men seeking adventure and a lifestyle that could not be found elsewhere just fine. Good job, sir. “The three returned to the site and erected a primitive but highly satisfactory half-faced camp. Having located a huge fallen tree, they cleared a space twelve feet square in front of it for the floor area and at the outer corners sunk two large forked poles. Across the forks they placed a heavy pole and from this to the fallen tree they laid a series of smaller poles, finally covering this entire roof with a half-foot of dry grasses and leaves, upon which a layer of dirt and sod was packed. The two open sides were closed with a gradual buildup of heaped logs and more poles and branches, which were in turn covered with leaves, moss and dirt until they were effectively sealed. “Soft mosses and dry leaves were spread on the floor for bedding and a large fire area prepared in front of the open face of the shelter. Here they would cook their meals and, at night, wrap themselves in their blankets and sleep in remarkable comfort with their feet toward the warm coals.” Excerpt From The Frontiersmen Allan W. Eckert

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Just like we used to build when we were kids! Lovely little "fort" in the woods. For that roof to be able to shed rain, you need a plastic sheet or about three feet of debris, otherwise you just built a bathtub. Brings back memories of our small gang of ten year olds, making forts, cooking beans and hot dogs, and pretending we were out in the wild.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

@@ATHOSOutdoorProspector :- As long as you and your viewers know that it is a "play-time fort" in the woods for fun, not to be taken seriously as a shelter, for survival or bug out purposes. Just the amount of work involved is rediculous for a "pretend" temporary shelter. You use modern tools, wear modern clothing, cook on manufactured pots, pans and a steel surface...you have already "disturbed" the environment (as we all do in this modern world)...so a sheet of plastic, or a large garbage bag, or an oiled canvas tarp, would all go hand in hand with your shovel, knife, cooking utensils, etc.

@@CryMeA_River8710 :- You could be correct on finding all of those items, if you had the time, but that doesn't address the issue of time spent on building such a labour intensive "fort in the woods" when much simpler shelter can be put together in minutes for overnight use. The idea of building a survival shelter is to protect you as you are on your journey to rescue...spending days on digging and scrounging is counter productive. And if a more permanent shelter is required...this mud hole will become a dirty bathtub in the first rain/snow melt. Why not use shelters already built, such as abandoned farm buildings, sheds, even post apocalyptic deserted homes etc. This toy fort doesn't fill the need for temporary shelter or for long term shelter...it is an armchair adventurer's fantasy...and dangerous to those who might take it seriously.

[@B-leafer]

Adapt and overcome. When you got nice soil, time, weather, materials on your side, why not. Looks cool. If you plan the entrance and floor correctly, it will drain out water no problem. This would be cool to build with your young son and let him enjoy it. Note: I agree with the other comments, the fireplace situation needs work due to significant fire hazard. Some sort of chimney with heat insulation around it would be much better, also would not allow so much rain and weather in. Otherwise, I like it.

[@teddysickels1857]

For everyone complaining about the pine needles used for the insulation didn't you see the green leaves still on the branches intertwined to make the 1st layer then the pine needles then the damp top rolled peat for the top layer which should help the pine needles safe. Also, he didn't build a blazing fire that was covered by a metal plate atleast 3/8ths" thick as a cooking surface and a spark arrestor, the majority of the heat per the design was directed to escape from the rear away from the shelters roof. And before someone says but what about the larger logs/branches being cut and stacked in the rear of the shelter. If I had to guess it was to help dry them out by being near the firebox cut into the ground to be used either outside of the shelter in a fire ring or campfire and if used inside the shelter again you don't need a blazing fire that metal cooking surface would be able to retain enough heat by slowly burning 1 log giving off plenty of stored heat by thermal dynamics and as a radiant source. If it rained remember the tarp he used to collect the leaves, needles in I bet that could be used to keep the water from getting directly in and putting it out without melting it.

Where on earth does one find such soft, diggable sand/dirt? Fine job tho...

[@mattpage7423]

My thoughts exactly and not a root or rock one. Not in Oklahoma

[@sourwes0001]

Not here in WV either; Just as much rock as dirt here. Always good to learn new bushcraft ideas though.

[@jaybruz.5688]

In Australia you'd need a jackhammer and a chop saw & god know's what you would be sticking on the roof Bark, branches and dead grass, lol

[@Scribe8472]

Not in New England for sure.

[@cyfr88]

@@Scribe8472 I am also watching this from New England thinking to myself "maybe I'll find a hill with a carve out in it already that I can build from" because after 20 seconds of digging you're bound to hit a root or large piece of granite haha

[@SH-kn7ut]

The partially underground construction if a good idea - warmer - but the roof (while providing insulation against the cold) is going to leak like a sieve.

[@ATHOSOutdoorProspector]

It's just to protect it from the rain

[@Horus2Osiris]

You just made a giant sponge on top of a death trap tinder box. Hilarious! At least use a tarp, and something besides jute, unless it's just for the summer. Patent denied, lol.

[@SH-kn7ut]

@@ATHOSOutdoorProspector It is a great design. And yes, as Horus suggests, a good Military Grade Tarp over the top - before adding the vegetation for insulation would make it waterproof - just make sure the water can run-off and away from the roof (and run-off and away all around the base of the shelter).

Oh suddenly I remember one thing. You can put those chestnut in dry sand and fry them.

[@petesmith9472]

I can't think of anywhere in Australia with soil like that.

[@OmniAtlantic]

Sand Dunes of Australia. Good luck with the beach sand.

[@samircelic6923]

In Bosnia is soil not so easy to dig to

[@tommyprevost1531]

Florida soil is pretty bad too. Mostly sand.

I know what you mean Pete that northern soil and those northern forests are mint, I wish we had biomes like that here in Aus.

it was a "dramatic shot" ...what was it about the mushrooms you wanted to know? seems you are the only one interested in mushrooms I guess..LOL

They looked like some of those blue bruiseing type mushrooms ive become fond of
