In May 2013 we had an idea to build a woodland shelter, as a base to practice bushcraft. We found a great secluded woodland which we'd visited a few times before and began the build. The design was just improvised on the day, and it turned out to be quite a large shelter. Over the months we added bits and pieces on each visit, including table and chairs, and this video takes us right up to a couple days before Christmas. It has been a great place to visit, and feels like a little home-from-home. Dead, fallen trees were used for the entire build. Some green thatching was added, but we harvested very small amounts from numerous areas around the forest. Over the year, we only saw a man and his dog nearby, and then a group of like-minded wild campers, who spent the night nearby! Other than that...just foxes, deer, owls and other birds. We've put together a video of how it all came about...
