Building Bushcraft Shelter and crafting survival traps

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
I build a survival shelter using dead wood and simple hand tools. The fire pit I built using sand from the bunker nearby. I built a retractable roof which I can open and close and I harvested some hazel from my woods and crafted a simple primitive fish trap.

When you were building your fire pit I could not figure out what you were doing. It looks like a raised bed garden, but in the woods - no. I was so glad when you explained what it was and why you did it that way. Kudos for you. I always like seeing someone express concern for the wilderness and wildlife. Thank you for showing me a way to protect the forest floor. I always learn from you

Idea: nail one end of a length of paracord to the midpoint of the log at the front edge of the tarp roof. Roll the tarp down to the back of the roof, allowing the cordage to wind up with it. Leave enough tag end to reach up and hang just over the front edge of the roof, cut it off and tie a knot. By pulling, or releasing, the cord you should be able to adjust the roof by yourself.

Back to the basics of TA Outdoors: LOVE IT! The traditional hearth makes a fine addition to your buildings. The new shelter is coming along very well. Of course, a fella has to eat, but I would have made a fire reflector first and the fish trap next. I would count on getting the fish from your Father!

Hi Mike - Fab video as usual - What is your honest appraisal of the Flextail mini-insect repelling device - I've bought one - but haven't had the chance to test it out in the field yet

You've proved you can make a traditional roof from all natural materials. Using a tarp for THIS camp is practical, smart, and useful. I salute your pragmatism.

, Brilliant, as allways, tie two small ropes to the top log on the tarp roof, so when it rolls back you can pull the ropes and unwind it back up again bud

I like the layout of your camp, it looks rather cozy. You could build a smithing area to add to your camp, a forge, a furnace and a smelter.
reply

Just a small suggestion, for your tarp roof, use some rope that is water resistant, or proof, that you can pull to bring the trap up.

Yay, another awesome video on TA Outdoors!
I'm really excited to see the increasing progress on the new bushcraft camp.

You got water close By should have soked those Twigs in water B4 You Started Weaving Your Fish trap. Where is your Lid at?

Don't forget to cover it with lead blanket - make you invisible to thermal imaging military tech and some other mil-tec toys.

You want to tie some string to the front roller that will wind up with the tarp and allow you to unroll it when you want.
