I do this is Mitch were the native survival school say working on a long-term shelter

first off here's my bed you'll see it's the same design I always use I just lay a log down I lay logs across keep doing that I get to the height that I want log cabin style no notching then I pile it up with leaves use your least a foot that's good to go okay says the back of my bed with the fireplace right in front to be in the side of the structure side wall so there's the the opening to the fireplace my structure is very simple I have a ridgepole which goes into a fork stick fork stick has to fork sticks going off in each direction so you can see it's bracing I lash them so they don't slide I also have one brace fork stick brace in the back as well what kind of shape did you call it yep and you know what kind of plant it is what is that so the shanty is starting to come along you can see so that wall is all set has the rafters started the wall in the opposite side just have to you can see right there check out what she did for my bed those leaves you put down on my bed are beautiful sweetheart all lined up it's like a big painting beautiful yeah

so now all I need to do is do the wall on the opposite side of the a-frame I need to do the half wall and I'm going to put over the fireplace and the roof will be finished the Raptor side of it anyways then I have to just cover it with leaves okay so we'll just give you a quick tour is the outline of the back wall going to go right up there right down here is the outline one of the sidewalls

the beds in the middle right now once I get this wall up I'll take the bed and slide it over so rests against that that back wall of the shelter and that way I'll have the full open middle of the shanty underneath the ridgepole that can stand up completely under there no problem right now I can stand on both sides of my bed underneath the tall spot is a little one by one section at each end of my bed so once it's good and set I'm going to slide that over put my bed against the back wall have all that floor space well of course I built the bed first because you always want to build your shelter around your bed I want to make sure that you have a good comfortable bed I've already slept in that bed a couple nights ago I see you're a really good climber you've always been a good climber all right so here's the foot the foot plan right there so there's a ridge pole to halfway mark to the shelter and send move the bed over there Oh even more room just a fireplace and of course the walls

you

so this wall is pretty much finished I just have to put the logs that are going to go from the top of the mantel on the fireplace it's a large stone up front I'm going to put them right up to the ridge pull there Wow look at you climbing I am taking a picture Wow you're way up there good job yeah so right here is a rock the mantel the fireplace they'll have right there some more parts of the roof going straight up that little gap as the fireplace from this angle just a quick hack and pack fireplace just threw it together

should get the job done just perfect I've already used it so a long-term shanty is on its way and this will definitely a shelter that can be lived in through many many seasons fireplace as a good bed as good living space that's not too big where the fireplace can't heat it that's all you need comfort shelter womp and rest all right school my little climber Sophie girl yeah little chipmunk squirrel I'm so just doing some work on the long-term shelter I've got a bed in place I don't have a lot of things in place at the fireplace as well and the roof of the middle of the roof started so it's coming along

it takes quite a bit of work to put a long-term shelter together this is a a frame shanty they were building today and it's a lot of fun to make it's really simple really you know it's really pretty simple it's just an a-frame itself you know you throw a bed in here and a fireplace really starts kind of spruce into place well we appreciate your views and know your comments and support we'll see you on the next one I'm going to take off the outer box you can chew on the inner bark of the pine doing apart
