bushcraft survival long term wilderness shelter part 2 of 7 building the shelter.wmv

[MrPdante]

I'm going to add zip ties to my kit...

[mcgoo721]

"every time you add a bit of wood, it tightens right up."

[heatedhonda1]

i had to use the trypods to make a small fens around my camp today becas the cows loved my seater tree shelter haha

[leongaines]

Great video. At 6:39 what are you using to tie the side beams to the center beam? Para Cord or plastic zip lock cords? Thank you.

[XxxFlameBoy651xxX]

Only if we could do a survival weekend just me and you god that would be awesome !

[ZombifyIt]

Well I bought my tarps, working gloves, sand paper, foam, crank led lamp, wire and my ZIP TIES today, I'm ready! :D

(yeah I'll buy the other stuff when I'm actually there since I can't fly with knives on board :P)

[MrMelonMonkey]

@ZombifyIt you can easily smuggle a knife-blade in your belt-closing (? in german "Gürtelschnalle") onboard a plane and of course offboard :P but perhaps it is indeed better to buy it where you want to go when youre there because you dont want to use the knife on the plane and the risk of being caught isnt worth the 12€/$/(I have no key for Pound on my keyboard) for a new knife... i wish you good luck where ever you go to now... if you do so. maybe you were just joking :D

[heatedhonda1]

@ZombifyIt make a knife out of bone lolz

[stxrobstar]

Zip ties?

Brilliant!

So simple yet I never made the leap to that use for them.

Great Video series.

[Ivanredsun]

Ребята, какие узлы он использует для соединения жердей?!



[Honken]

Won't the wood driven into the ground rot after a while? How long is the lifetime of a shelter such as this? I've lived in cities throughout my life, my knowledge in these things are limited.

[XxxFlameBoy651xxX]

@Honken A long time ! It depends on how well and how you build it ! If you build it right it will stay up and last a respectable amount of time

[AwakenedBuddhist]

I like the tripod idea, good vids thank you.

[palehorseridder]

Looks like the Swiss Family Robertson's neighboor

[jmaizels]

The first ridge pole should be on the other side of the tree (the far side from the video perspective). This enables much of the force to be taken off of the tie mechanism, and pushed up against the tree. Great video though. Love the "real action".

[mryellow123]

Simple builders trick for trigonometry of a right angle without sin/cos/tan, if you measure out a triangle on 2 walls, of lengths 3 and 4, then if the angle is 90deg the hypotenuse will be 5.

[nonsinse2]

Hello there,

Your video is really great. But I have one question. Would it be better to use two standing trees for the opening. Instead of one tree plus tripod? Why would you use a tripod?

[Bawdog4]

why is he using tools.... i was looking for a survival shelter in a survival situation

[vaguer75]

@Bawdog4 IF you prepare you NEED basic tools and a pack.. I've done this before....

a knife, fishing line, a swiss knive for example.... take lots of notes and advise.. and research.

[heatedhonda1]

@vaguer75 all i need is a knife and my shoe strings

[Bawdog4]

dang i wish i had that kind of lumber

[MooseHunter911]

Nice shelter, I wish I had a forrest like that in my surroundings, it's so much vegetation on the forrest floors where I live and almost only pinetrees, mosquitos is a big problem during summer aswell so it's tough to go out and do something like this, you'd have to wait until early autum to get the right weather, or spring maybe.. during winter it gets really hostile.. 1 meter + of snow and and down to -25 celsius

[xbox360ownerdaperdan]

cool shelter structure

[Andythecat11]

Forgive me for being a little pedantic but arent using unrecyclable cable ties a bit out of kilter with forest dwelling?

Otherwise great vids

[ieatpilgrimsto]

@Andythecat11 Sounds to me like he's only using them in this video to save time due to the limited video length that he has on youtube

[Izaana030505]

What kind of tree/wood are you using or what would you suggest...I am in Michigan/USA

[jramirez27]

know i can see why the sun never set on the british empire your jungle skills made you guys bad asses

[Seabeaux13]

Are you using zipties for the lashings?

[RUFFMIN]

@Seabeaux13 he is indeed young one :D

[mistermarijn]

zipties, you can heer it

[jrdudedj]

@mistermarijn If you watch his older videos, he explains why they're good for these kinds of things. I've been doing that as well, makes things alot easier, and they're light weight, small and take up little room. I'm not sure why i didn't think of doing that before.

[47trea]

awesome work

[greenhorns99]

too much of a perfectionist. and also, what can you use if you don't have a poncha, tarp, or etc?

[MrGwatson111]

@greenhorns99 You can use evergreen branches as roof materials. Shingle it like you would a house starting on the bottom from left to right or right to left. with a nice overlap. building one level at a time until you reach the top. This will water proof your shelter. Or if your in a area with palm leaves they work well too. You might have to change them out if its an extended stay

[kwguk]

I've subscribed, excellent stuff and you make it look so easy Thanks

[kajayer2]

i mean whats the forest's name?

[kajayer2]

where is the forest at ?

[whatwhatyep]

Thats what I like to see, good ol fashion british army poncho, none of these monster tarpaulins the americans like to use.

[fordboy899]

u are the MAN. where did u learn to do this stuff?

[AJCospa]

Am I the only one who noticed that the background sounds are the same throughout the ENTIRE video?

[GuruzGT]

@AJCospa yes, i suppose they are called birds. they tend do to quite periodic noises.

[emilshere]

I never liked the lean to style of shelter,. I want to be covered on all sides... makes me feel safer and cozier at nite. I dont want to be visible and just be under a canopy, Know what I mean? I like being fully surrounded by walls.

[StickInc1]

I've learned so much from this. Im subscribing great shelter

[SurvivalWithBushcraf]

Great stuff!  You have a new sub!

[MrVoiceofreason123]

I thought he was going to start doing gymnastics at 1:34 lol

[69Grunden]

Your shelter is looking good so far. I still like how your saw turned out.

[jkd185]

good stuff.

[20351MA]

Superior.

[RDPproject]

I would love to know where your doing this.

Is it private land or crown land? cos I can hear kids in the distance.

[bearpatch1]

7-STAR, one of my favorite uses wire ties,thank you ---JC

[bushcraftbartons]

EXCELLENT!!!!
