Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The Den Building Diaries follows three people and a dog who create their own Natural Shelter and 'Den' using basic Bushcraft skills. In this episode, Mike Pullen shows you how he builds a natural woodland shelter using an 'A' frame technique. Emmy is working on building the barriers and walls to the Den, and Beth is giving a helping hand with Emmy and Mike. The aim of this series is to help get children off computers and games and get them outside to experience the REAL world. We want them to experience the woodlands, mother nature in all its beauty. Hopefully along the way you might learn some bushcraft tips, from natural shelter building to fire lighting and more. But our aim is to have fun building our Den and to make a story of our Journey into the natural world. We hope you enjoy the series: ) - Mike, Emmy, Beth and Barney (the dog

Greetings Young Friend: Another suggestion, that we have seen not too many folk paying attention to for their shelters and the other A Frames we've seen. Water and rain do not only effect the top of a shelter. Especially on a thick peated surfaces like yours or a deep woodland with old growth or heavy Pine coverage. water will flow and pool. So in a dry season you won't see where the water flows are but look and learn where pooling occurs. More moss, more lichens, more soaked ground. Lookout the base of the trees serif Theresa concentration of Salts. But here is what we don't see. Trenching Even if just overnighting a trench assist the flow of water away from your shelter and camp.

Fully annoying how people my age don't have the same interests as the older generations did. I'd totally be happy with going with a bunch of friends to the woods to build a shelter, but being 15, everyone my age is into all this boring stuff like staying in and playing on consoles after school. I honestly wish that our generation wasn't so filled with technology these days. I'm not saying technology is bad, because it has improved the world greatly, but as far as childhood is concerned, well, the word childhood shouldn't exist. This is no childhood.

That takes me back How many hundreds of those did my friends, siblings and I build as kids? We would quite literally cry when our parents made us come back inside It's kind of a shame that nowadays adults have to show kids how to do these things. We called them forts not dens. Of course, we did have quite an armoury of wooden guns at our disposal, so they were forts lol

In the early 1970's all kids went out and built dens. I always built one next to a railway line cos I loved watching the trains whizz by. I also built tree houses as well. They probably weren't as safe as yours but I was only 12 years old and just did what I thought was right. Plus I'm still here 45 years later watching your stuff.

That last bit when you were asking (assuming your daughter) your daughter about what you were going to do next Sunday. return to the den, have lunch and whatever else inspires you. totally inspired me fully. I have a 3 year boy and I dream of teaching him about the wilderness and the wonderful skill of bushcraft.

I would love to see what you would do in a terrain like the Texas scrub. where all the trees (mesquite) have thorns on them. I'm sure you would figure something out, but it would be an entirely different challenge.

I can already tell this is going to be a series that I'm going to follow. Keep up the totally awesome videos. Also do you do any sort of hunting because that looks like a good hunting spot for small game? I think

Beth is such a cutie can't wait to have kids and expose them to the natural way of life. Is it just me that finds women extremely attractive when helping out in camp? Awesome video, thank you for sharing: )

Nice video I am also in (N) Oxfordshire and have a small location I can go on. I try to get out with my 8yr old son for the same reasons, to have an adventure outdoors, with a camp out and a little fire. Awesome

Beautiful family doing things outdoors together. Couldn't want anything more than that. Your little one will grow up with a greater appreciation for nature. Good shelter builds.
