Did not actually use it but......did canoe to it.

This looks more like a branch team hug than a shelter!

Does this count. We had a storm blow by early this summer . Big cider at the front of my house they are just leaning good shade under them and on a hot day nice and cool they got to go soon dam it also makes the house cool inside

It was on the beach down form Killin, Loch Tay. Enough to throw a tarp around, DD one, to make a wee tipi.

Do you think a Mod could have a go at resizing some of these pics.

It takes about 3 weeks to download this thread, and thats on broadband !

Unfortunately my photos are too chubby for BcUK but if you're on facebook I've
added some of the shelters we built at Woodsmoke to one of the ethnobotany
groups.

Liked the 'branch team hug'

Couple of my shelters.....

Only have photos of two debris huts my students built this past summer.

one is a small, one person shelter:

The other is a large, three person shelter, with much more insulative material put onto it:

My 8 year old cousin wanted to try her hand at sheltermaking, but we couldn't get hold of any leaves or pine needles (open field). But we did have a couple bales of hay, so here was her try at it;

All were warm, dry and secure.

Nice little dog kennel.
Was that warm?

And,with all that wood why didn't you make a lean-to with a raised bed and a long log fire?

Meant to be small - that way your body heat is all that is needed. Maybe you cannot make a fire, maybe you do not have time or materials to make a larger "dog kennel".

BTW in my area winter typically gets down to minus 30F or thereabouts. This kind of shelter can save you in those conditions.

5 star shelter luxury, mind it took a while to build.

Resizing some of those pictures would allow some of us without a ten foot wide monitor to see them! Some nice shelters there, but sort the photos out!
