Isn;t there a fire hazard with the stove and chimney running thru the branches without any safety measures? Just wondering....

[@upnorthof60]

@@andyfee6125 it’s definitely something you need to keep eye but for the most part it’s not an issue. The entire structure was built with live green wood, which is quite difficult to ignite and would require more radiant heat than what the stove is capable of producing, in its current set up. Most of the heat radiates from the base of woodstove, and not so much from the chimney, especially the upper part that’s going through the shelter. The upper stove pipe is actually warm to the touch and will not burn your skin. For a long-term shelter I would’ve built something completely different. This is a quick wick up which works well for my intended use.

Bonjour, beaucoup d'arbres abattu pour faire une vidéo ! Dommage avec les arbres morts vous auriez pu faire un tipi aussi bien réussi , que celui que vous avez fait. Sinon très beau vidéo qui nous fait rêver tellement la nature est magnifique, belle, silencieux, apaisant. Vôtre courage vous honore pour nous faire gentiment participer à votre aventure tout en sachant que nous n'irons pas plus loin que du salon à la cuisine pour nous préparer un thé chaud, mais ça nous permet de nous évadés en rêve en vous regardant. Merci et gratitude pour les efforts que vous faites pour nous faire plaisir. ❤🎉

In the late 50"s my Dad and I were hunting near little Goose Creek in the Big Horn Mts, Wyoming when we were hit by a sudden storm with about 2.5 feet of snow. My Dad was a survivor of WWII and a great guy. We got under a blue spruce and he made a small fire which kept us warm since the snow made a blanket covering the tree. We stayed there 2 days, we had water and snacks and we were able to walk out after the wind abated.

[@sparkynate91]

Blue spruce are some of the best trees to find shelter under. They are so thick and usually are dry underneath even in rain. I have 5 on my property and they've always been dry in winter or rain

God gave you that day to be remembered for the rest of your life and your father got to spend a day with one of the people he loved most in life. Sounds like a wonderful couple of days. 😊

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

Absolutely fantastic! If it were me I’d collect the heaps and heaps of branches he cut off and layer them around the base of the tree house. Obviously you can’t make it weather tight, but you could put a few more layers between you and the snow.

[@billparrish4385]

Always loved the tipi design for a good and fast bushcraft shelter. A tip for standing up such long primary poles alone is to have the middle pole sticking back in the opposite direction on the ground when you tie them togther. Then when you walk up the other two, that third one will drag along behind you, propping the others as you go when you need a rest or when setting the two poles' ends apart. Plus, this will serve to further tighten the wrapping/frapping of the rope tie, as the third pole rotates through its over-90 degrees of arc.

[@tdog4240]

I don't understand pine needles and branches under the stove though?

[@billparrish4385]

@@tdog4240 I'm not following the question?

[@tdog4240]

@billparrish4385 I was just wondering why the branches were put under the stove? Safety wise, I was thinking you'd need to clear it and just have it dirt. Thinking of sparking as you put wood in an? Is it safe sitting on the branches is where my question was going. Sincere question.

[@RandyPToribio]

The combination of stunning winter landscapes, the challenges of -33°C temperatures, and the cozy yet rugged shelter of the treehouse creates a compelling narrative of endurance, nature, and adventure. Despite the freezing conditions, the video showcases the rewards of connecting with nature and pushing personal limits in one of the harshest environments imaginable.

[@helendowney8709]

I would've put more pine branchs around to insulate it better, and some sort of makeshift door.

All due respect Dave, but please remind your viewers of how dangeous this can be at -33C if you do not have the experience and knowledge that you have.

[@tracywegers7694]

The bears are asleep but the cats and coyotes aren't. A campfire in front of the shelter with a backslash of rock will reflect heat and deter critters

[@Wordsmyth8]

There are so many open spaces in the shelter. Why didn’t you fill those in a bit better? Wouldn’t it have made it warmer and kept the breezes out?

[@upnorthof60]

@wordsmth8 there’s a fine balance with determining how many calories you should expend building a shelter versus how many are required to keep you warm. This understanding comes from experience in these conditions and knowing your personal limitations. This shelter was more than adequate for what I needed. My primary shelter, which are the clothes I’m wearing and my secondary shelter, which is my sleep system is what provides me the warmth and shelter that I need. The tipi was just a bonus.

Personally, id be removing a few lower branches on one the larger trees,weaving them and some limbs from deadfalls to cozy up a shelter. Ive done it in my past and it takes less time and energy.
