I would love to practice and build natural shelters. Problem being feling tree's in UK. Since I return to my regular camp spots, over the years there would be no tree's left and now I would be stuck with a field rather than a bit of woods =(
 
After years of seriously heavy canvas, bought a True North Big Tarp just before Easter and on Good Friday, at the tender age of 54, spent my first night under a tarp.
Absolutely delighted with it and looking forward to the winter ...

Brilliant!

See folks, it just doesn't do to rush into these things.

I've still to try sleeping in a hammock yet.
 
normally use british issue sleep system with a lightweight tarp, did once sleep in a lean-to that i built in winter but the cross spar was rotten and collapsed under the weight of all the sphagnum at about 3am! love being rubbish at my hobby. ;)
 
I prefer the basha and bivy , or if there's trees aboot the hammock and basha... my loft is full of tents and i dont even use them , crazy or what ..
 
dd tarp and frontline or natural shelter
