wow, talk about too much bullshit. "gently reach down and feel the grass bundle with your writing hand while twisting, and really feel the grass, get to where your bundle is at, now using a serrated edge...by the way....yada yada yada."
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST MAN just say grab a bunch of grass and saw out. No need for the long fucking sentences about every single aspect. I guess this is what happens when you teach for a living. You forget how people learn
Can an interior fire be safely made in a thatch hut? I know to use dry,sparkless wood but still is it safe to make a fire and fall asleep in such a shelter?What other precautions should be taken?
Kenneth "Speedy" Raulerson is set to be released 2015. A criminal that took to the bush for 8 years there was a point where he stayed in the bush saw no humans for over 2 years.Reason I bring this up is had this man put this much work into the bush prior to becomming a criminal he would have never commited the crime.If you get a job save every cent you can OWN your land never pay rent in your life. Live near the job with these skills. I have never paid rent higher than $300 a month never will.
@cdltpx If people would taike to the bush or when rents get too high the rents would never get that high.When times were tough I took to the road on my 82 honda 500 it was fully dressed so I always had full camping gear on the bike. I could go anywhere in the country pop a tent get a job and a bank roll and go anywhere I chose. I had that freedom just from the fact that I would pitch a tent take an outdoor shower. Now I am even more proficient. I wash clothes in a bucket filter water etc.
Awesome video, I was curious as to how much insulation the thatched hut provides. In terms of variance from the outside temp how many degrees would you say it is? Thanks
@sneakyninja273 This years hut faired as well as the Augusta skating rink in that both suffered structural damage due to the excessive snow load. The debris hut is much stronger, an arch over a series of triangles, but a true survival shelter in that it's only purpose is to keep you warm and dry, no room for making snowshoes, etc. The added snow increases insulation and strength. Check out our "debris hut myths" video for an illustration of the structural integrity.
learned alot such as the lashings of cordage and how to apply grasses. have you ever tried taking smoking the shelter to get out spiders and bugs? you can do it with a tin can and some hay
@huntingsurvival Thanks! We smudge as well using a flat piece of barks and an ember on wet leaves to generat the smoke. It's pretty cool watching the spiders rappelling to safety!
that was fantastic!!! now is that for like 3 seasons? or would it work for winter also? I think adding pine branches to the outside may help for the winter???
Correct on the effectiveness of log structures in cool climates as the insulation of grasses is equal to or greater than wood, the heat retention is far less. This shelter is for seasonal migratory routes toward fishing areas in warmer weather. Tactical considerations make it a quicker, quieter shelter to build with far less signature on the landscape than a cabin. It is also easier to maintain a number of these for mobility rather than being a target at a fixed location.
wow very cool! looks cozy! how long did it take? and how many ppl helped? how long would it take to finish something like this as a single person? maybe 3-4 days??

Wouldn't it be easier to build your raised bed before placing all the grass?

how well does this "type of hut hold up against heavy snow? I dont mean the type with the grass, but rather with tree branches.

@KonstantinKuehn You are correct. It would take about four days at this time of year to make a two person shelter with one person doing the work.
