Building a Carving Shack Off Grid Woodland Workshop at The Bushcraft Camp

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
We start work on building a woodland workshop and off grid carving shack using simple hand tools. Part 1 sees us build a simple lean-to style bushcraft shelter using a basic roundwood timber frame structure. We burn the ends of the logs to make them more rot resistant as they are buried in the ground. The carving shack is adapted from an adirondack style cabin, but with much simpler materials and building techniques. Part 2 coming soon

So you have probably answered these questions before but I tend to shy away from the comments sections of videos. Is this your land? If so do you plan on moving to it in the future? If it s not your land is it just public forest? If it is public forest is there not issue with building on it? Don t take these wrong I am just curious.

Did you use pegs or screws on those corner braces?
Inquiring minds want to know: )
Nice to see another building project.
Still would like to see a review of all your past projects, to see how they are surviving the years.
Yes, I remember the hunting fort. Loved it.
Too bad you took it down.
Thanks for all the work.

How much land do you own for doing this? In Canada everything that isn t privately owned is owned by the government and it s a federal crime to chop trees, build structures and be self sufficient or do survival stuff like this. Only thing you can do is camping for max of 21 days and you can t DO any real wilderness skills

instead of a middle support on the front, you could double up the crosspiece. fit it directly beneath the existing one, or you could fit it to clamp down on the rafters and line up with the main support beam, then lash it together into a solid piece. That should be more than enough to support the weight of what ever you put on it.

You could make a viking pole lathe for in there and a lockable shavehorse two things to seriously consider I can provide pictures of them both are relatively easy to make with both of your skills would be nice and very interesting to see videos of you turning bowls and cups the ancient way getting back to nature

G'day Mike, Greame, still dont get why you poms dont generally go for verandahs/pergolas on your dwellings, lol. So, very pleased to see an undercover, multi-functional space added to the village. Great stuff guys! and yeah I learnt both systems, but logically metric is the go.
Cheers Duke.

Every minute I watch you use that draw knife, I can't help but think it's time to build a primitive lathe.
Funny you mention hitting bed rock for those of us across the pond. I was doing a project in Michigan years ago. Dug down about 1/2 meter & hit a bed of fossilized coral.

love the idea and design! I have been watching your videos for about 4 years since the first camp update videos came out, and to see the amount of growth within that small time frame is just mind-blowing and extremely inspiring! Don't ever stop what your doing Mike its incredible

I love these videos. They are so comforting to me. I asked my husband if he wanted to go build a bushcraft shelter and he looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head. oh well, I ll just watch more videos, I guess! Keep em coming please!

Here in Austin, we've got a variety of chocolate-flavored tea called Chocolate Pu-erh available from the Numi brand: if something similar is available in the UK, it might solve your flask-tea problem.
