how do you keep the smoke out of the shelter, did you leave the tops of the shelter uncovered by the moss? Even with an open door it seems like it would be too smoky. I like this shelter tho. It seems wider than your other one with the fireplace on one end. Not all areas have such nice rocks unfortunately. So glad to see alternative heat for those of living with no decent rocks. We have boulders the size of cars, but none you can lift ha ha.
I really enjoy your videos Freddee, you are really talented making stuff. I love the pipe you made. P.s. Why did somebody wreck your first shelter, love the chimney you had. Keep up good work, Happy Holidays.
Thanks for showing the finished sheltet... looks like it's getting cold now,we are going to get about 3 inches of rain in the next few days,have a great day.
Very cool! Your winters seem to be very cold and dry. Our winters are very wet and rainy so everything gets cold and wet. Even when it snows it doesnt last long and it turns to slush so it is hard to stay dry. Really like your shelter!
i can tell you, it is very very wet here, really short days, and lots of rain, and around -0C all the time, its a bad winter, no snow or real cold, just wet,
So cool Fredde, ...your shelter get One with nature! ...very good, this time the hunters will not destroy it, because they don´t see it ; )) ...hopefully! ...great handdrill, good with the iso mat! Thanks for your video and the great response to bushcraftus. All the best, my friend. Sepp
Great and solid looking! Looks like an ewok shelter!
Have you used that Mora much? I don't have a wood handled one yet but am probably gonna turn one of my expensive knives that never gets used into about a dozen different Moras. The wood is on my list.
Looks good. Simple and strong. First I've seen done this way and it makes sense. My favorite is still your hut for two with fireplace, yet that took more time and the right stones. Who knows, perhaps I'll end up there someday and need that. Currently the NW corner of Montana has been experiencing a 2-3 month long heat wave, so it there is also most no snow in the mountains and we are still barbequing in our T-shirts. No need for winter shelters anymore. :O)
I was going to ask if you made that hand drill kit on the trip or did you hike it in with you. Then you answered my questions. Friction fire Tuesday in the wild!
Fredde you are hardcore in the best of ways!! I so want to build a winter shelter. I want to den up like a bear only warmer. Cheers!

Your shelter looked nice and toasty Fredde. Maybe some flowers will grow on it in the spring.
Loved your hand drill, I imagine that your hands are pretty warm before the fire is going.
Thanks a bunch and Happy New Year! : )

I guess you have a whole at the apex of the shelter, it's too dark and grainy to tell. If yes, does rain effect it?...Dash Riprock
