It looks as though the shelter lacks some support but considering it has been up for three years, it seems strong.
I'm really missing the canoe and bushcraft camping videos. They seem very distantly original as though all of those earlier videos have passed away and are simply forgotten.

One issue you may be having with the greenery on the roof is the pine needles. There is a natural herbicide in them that the pines are immune to and is part of their competition strategy. Keeping the roof clear of fresh pine needles will promote more growth of green grass and moss. Nice build!

Scumbags that vandalise have no appreciation for the work that goes into project s like this. If I came across this I d take a few pictures out of appreciation for your work and on my way I really don t know what goes through people s idiotic minds.

Just a thought - and I m asking from ignorance - would an Icelandic house have been built in a pine forest? Would there have been more light so that a turf roof might have continued to grow?

1: 27 This guy is full of wisdom about forest land, real precious of humanity. He helps to balancing the eco system even though he cannot see the beauty of that little birch. Respect

So are you going to try to salvage it, or just let it keep falling apart? I imagine you ve gotten what you need from it, so I would understand not putting any more effort into it.

Enjoyed watching you build this one and the others. It's a shame people feel the need to cause damage like that. But for 3 years without being maintained I think it held up quite well

Please, go back to see what the medieval viking house you did 2 years ago also looks like. Over here in Canada, that bark roof would be in shambles just after 1 winter.

I am a fan of this series. It is useful to see how the structure fared. Followers will now know to add more support where necessary.

Unanticipated bushcraft problems: grazing deer falling through the roof. (and I thought our nesting starlings were a nuisance)
