Gary Bushcraft Shelter

[atlatlman]

These pictures are of the construction of the 1st bushcraft shelter we built.

This is the 1st day of builing, just finding the wood and planning the layout and location.

The first lean to we built another 2 were added to this.

This is when we started building the 2nd lean to.

These following pictures are of the finished project....................................

Us enjoying the finished project, took four days altogether.

Looks good and very comfortable. Mind you that was possibly because of the spirits summoned up by the dance in the first picture

Looks good - where on earth did you get all those straight sticks from though? Do you live in a cartoon forest?

Did you build the picnic table too??
Good project though.

How did it deal with rain and wind?

Was it waterproof? I was taught to aim for a good forearm's depth of cover if using loose leaf litter.

Looks like good fun.

what you cant see is the yew tree foliage underneath the leaf litter. it did settle down after a few days but originally it was forearms depth. very warm and dry once we got the fire going
