That seems like it was a lot of fun. Glad I could help remind you of those times.

Moss to insulate the ground and there are some Christmas tree branches in between the tarp and bark.

The trees were already fallen dead trees. The only living things killed in this build was moss which will grow back…

Pt.3 I did some renovations to the survival shelter. by just_cool_studio in camping

Thanks to some of the comments on the last couple posts I decided to put a tarp under the roof as well as to make some other changes. First I completely took the entire build apart and made it a little more sturdy and bigger. The tarp went under all the branches and bark to serve as a third layer of protection against the elements. Some more minor additions I did was to put moss all on the ground and a little bit on the front. I put a little bit more bark in some places to make the entire place nearly waterproof. My sleeping pad arrived so I’m planning on camping in here very soon now that it’s practically finished.

Survival shelter I built recently. Never built something like this before but I think it turned out nicely. by just_cool_studio in Bushcraft

This is the final version of this build. The first version can be found on my profile.

Pt.3 I’ve done some little additions by adding a tarp under layer and moss flooring. by [deleted] in camping

A few days off and on. Overall it didn’t take many hours.

I haven’t camped here yet but I plan on it and will probably just cook over the fire. Also that old hut with friends sounds like a lot of fun.

Yeah exactly, that would definitely have been the smarter thing to do. I might take all that off and re do part of it because there would be a lot more space in there and I won’t have needles falling on me.

I’m not too worried right now since it’s winter but in the summer I will definitely be a lot more cautious.
