  • Excellent videos. A truly professional approach to shelter building!

  • Top man, great approach. Inspires me to get out and give it a go, thanks for sharing.

  • Really nice work right there!

  • @AshleyCorvinRyder *style

  • I love camping and I've always wanted to go survival stye camping and seeing this has made me more determined to do so. Good job with these videos and thank you for them.

  • Nice shelter and excellent workmanship

    KUDOS

  • Now I can see why this guy doesn't post any more videos.. he post videos to show how he does his thing and some people get way off topic, and then right off deep end of sanity.

    If you people wanna fight and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE then take it to you own channels and talk down to each other

    Its not needed or wanted here really!!!!!

  • shelter is allright . ive built better when i was 12 years old.if he built this without any tools at all i might be a little enthused

  • what type of wood they used for those who love nice greeting when they reply: pierre

  • and again...

  • that looks so extremely cosy hehe werry nice looking

  • and again... and again... and again... and again... and again....

  • Good job on the shelter! It was great t watch the progress. keep up the awesome work. Cheers from california.

  • this guy is AMAZING!!! Love it! awesome shelter like Ritz!

  • god that brings back child hood memorys . thanks for that

  • fantastic series. best long term shelter on youtube by far. you put a lot of work into this movie and it not only shows but most of all it paid off!

  • excellent shelter but for long term survival would it not be better to build a medium A frame shelter?

  • that looks great.you did a great job on it.thank you for sharing your shelter.

  • thanks for sharing this, looks freaking awesome, learned a lot.

  • Awesome video man, ah simplicity is beautiful!

  • Nice job with the shelter thank you for sharing your knowledge and your ideas.

  • This guy sounds welsh

  • @HaggzBawse I'm guessing he a Scottie

  • @happy04346 welsh

  • I liked seeing.

  • I love this guys humble approach. No bravado crap here,just watch,learn and enjoy!Two thumbs up...WAAAAAY UP!!!

  • Its in a Welsh mans blood to live like this! :) Nice vids bud!

  • That is probably the best shelter I've ever seen made in one day

  • that is an amazing shelter

  • Excellent videos. Thank you Sir.

  • excellent,no bull sht straight to the point guy.

  • If the thatching dies will it ruin the whole thing

  • bushcraft > building primitive things using modern tools, like wtf? nice little camp though

  • @Maper555 this looks like bushcraft to me

  • @Kazekoge101 again, bushcraft = using modern tools to build primitive things, its retarded i dont git eetttttt

  • i'm thinking if you wanted to make this more of a weekend project at a campsite you wanted to revisit, you could make it like a double sided like an frame with a door and cut some cedar shakes for the roof and siding and if you put your fire in the edge where the roof is close to the ground you could even make a very nifty chimney with a bag of mortar and some rocks

  • A fantastic survival video and we enjoyed every segment! We’re now looking forward to implementing your techniques for surviving in the wilderness in comfort! All that’s needed is a power cord for the telly!

    Much appreciated

  • NICE...

  • He's GOOD !!!

  • Your videos were great! Just wondering though how long it took you to build the whole thing and what happened to it after you built it?

  • omg this is fucking awesome i want one XD

  • @doomsday8210: Can't you use a different word, we're all so tired of hearing that filthy word when there are so many others to choose from being considerably less offensive. But if you're ignorant and uneducated, I guess we'll have to tolerate your stupidity.

  • @1LonePuma look bud, i don't know where you come from, but where i'm from if you don't like a word you don't use it. you don't tell people what they can and can't say, and you don't get offended if someone says fuck or shit or piss or faggot or merry christmas for that matter. just like if you don't like cigarettes you don't use them. you don't go around telling everyone else that they're filthy and stupid for using them. mind your own damn business.

  • @FueledByTyeler: First off, as you say, I'm saying what I want, can and will!

    If you don't like it, then I guess you'll have to endure this suffering hardship!

    But it's easy to see you're of the same simple mind your defending!

  • @1LonePuma ha, if only you knew who you were calling simple. I've seen the world. I've been all over Europe, i lived in Holland and speak great dutch. I've seen Asia. mostly japan. I've seen way too much of the middle east. I've been to north Africa and seen the definition of poverty. I've had some of the greatest leadership training and character building that the world has to offer, and i passed calc 4 and 15th century lit. with 3.9s. step out of your self absorbed world and look around.

  • @FueledByTyeler: Try and keep my comment in the context it was meant. For being a world traveler, experiencing the things you have, you still have yet to learn humility. I make no apologies for my comment. I consider with a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) one full of himself. And that my friend is not meant to flatter you ass-wipe!

  • @1LonePuma the context in which your comment was meant was to badger someone for no reason, so i thought i'd badger you for a while and see how you like it. i didn't ask for your apology, you never offended me. also, though i'm sure you minored in psych, keep the diagnostics to yourself. you were off by a few letters, they call what i have PTSD. the chip on my shoulder just comes from the military. lastly, that's a filthy word. i guess we'll just have to tolerate your ignorance...

  • @FueledByTyeler: It's all good, bring it on! Your PTSD is nothing but a weak-kneeded cop-out! You knew what you were getting into, and you still joined, guess the jokes on you...dumbass! If you were going to cry about it, you should have never went to the military, it's for men and children! I too was in the military, but never once complained, I love it and I don't suffer from any such excuses for my behavior--in or out of combat sonny!!

    What A PUSSY!!!

  • @1LonePuma ptsd isn't for pussies, it just happens. i love my country and would join all over again in a heartbeat. what did you do in the service anyway? push paper? you sound soft... i wouldn't say you were even infantry let alone something really rigorous. your hardest training other than boot camp was probably in running the copy machine. i didn't complain about my ptsd, i just said you misdiagnosed me. again with the filthy ignorant language.... what kind of a hyprocrite are you anyway?

  • @FueledByTyeler: I'm sorry, I just don't have time to educate you or do I owe you an explanation of my military history, but suffice it to say, it wasn't as easy as you had it and we didn't end up with your PTSD! Nevertheless, I hope you get over your inabilities to cope with what you signed up for...that's life!

  • @1LonePuma ha, and you said I have NPD. what do you think ptsd is? i don't drink or wake up screaming or go nuts when i hear gunshots. its just an inability to come back and deal with ignorant pussies (not you) who're crushed when they lose a pet or people who sit around and complain about the 'real problems in the world' or bitch about the war they're not fighting. at any rate, i hope you never have to see anything worse than i've seen and if you have, i hope you never see it again. good luck

  • @FueledByTyeler: That's what people do, they bitch about everything, but now you have more to be thankful for, that is apart of growing up. There is only one solution to getting rid of the annoying ptsd, salvation. When we go before God, and accept his forgiveness, while forgiving ourselves, the heals the ptsd. And nothing else can do that.

    People take all kinds of pills and advises, but God is the only healer of all things.

  • absolutely class shelter. and the spitting on 0:58 made me laugh

  • also, you know what you need? a log to serve as a table

  • did you do this in one day?

  • this was a wonderful series, i learned a lot. thank you verry much.

  • This is the best shelter iv seen on youtube.

  • anyone know how long that thatching would last? is it still going to work when the needles turn brown and brittle?

  • This guy is cool, i wish he wouldnt have stopped making videos, he was probably one of the best on yt for bushcraft.

  • Does anyone know where the fuck this awesome dude has gone to? Does he have another channel or something? He havent made new uploads for ages man! its pissing me off! Please Mike Wezolowski, come back to me!!

  • @Danishbushcrafter He is triying to make a reliable wifi conection in the woods with branches, stones, and powered with potatoes.

  • great shelter

  • 0:58 Spitttooo! LOL

    Now I got to go look at all the other videos in this series. Good job.

  • This guy is good

  • @ichargeyou1 I agree, one of the most knowledgeable folks I have seen.

  • Pay attention, people. This guy knows his stuff.

  • one of the best shelters ive seen made. i make mine quite similar to yours... never used sacks or cable ties ill try that next time what a time saver cheers mate....

  • Does any one know if he has another channel

  • it is the most educational video on youtube when it comes to outdoor life, and I hope you make more like that video, so that we can learn more from you!

    FANTASTIC!

  • I like your Shelter series. I'm planing to make a semi permanent shelter myself. Your videos and ideas motivated me to improve my personal camp spot. Thanks and I will appreciate any comments you might have

  • your awsome

    

  • big luggei @59 lol

  • Great Video , SEMPER FI!! 

  • how long does this take to build?

  • that is EXCELLENT ! LOOKS LIKE A GREAT NIGHTS SLEEP !

  • I really wish you could make more vids. You are the real thing. All the best from Isrsel.

  • Dude, where the hell are you? No videos for over a year? WTF?

  • HEATED WILDERNESS SHED (NICE) : )

  • Why haven't you made more videos I really like them but there's only like 13 do you have another channel

  • This guys survival shelter is nicer than my apartment. That's a depressing thought.

  • @Robert01854 lol, get outside then, and build one ;)

  • Thats a fantastic ! But sadly i cant build such a complex thing as the local walkers / hikers / kids, tend to find it funny distroying it. It's happend so many times in the past so now i dont bother and just make somthing simple

  • Now all he needs is a hot mamma in her knickers to show up for a fire lit dinner of smoked deer meat

  • I'd just make a awning of a wall like he did for everything else to replace that tarp. Fold it down and it would be perfect.

  • OK HOLD ON LEMMY SAW SOME WOOD...

  • what do u do about animals?

  • man if i only had bamboo around here this shelter would go up super fast and no one would get made about the trees. great shelter.

  • What are you eating?

  • excellent design, but if i were to build it, i would've brought some tarpaulin just for some more weather proofing.(yeah, i know thats cheating) lol :P

  • Thatsba s

  • fantastic

  • you are good for a lod dude like you

  • Enjoyed this series loads, thanks

  • I sort of wish you would have used your shelter not just sit and talk about it. Show how it fits and how you adjust it at night.

  • Great spot to survive..

  • I'm realy interested in seeing how well the shelter with stands some winter months. Could you post a video of how the shelter is holding up with snow?

  • That would make a great BOL

  • Wezo, as others have said, very nicely done. I have learned alot from you and I appreciate your efforts. Please continue and make some more videos. your fans are waiting.

  • wow, nice vids man!

    (cant wait 4 retirement XD)

  • Wow! What more can I say? Your brilliant WEZ, a great attitude towards your bushskill/craft and a great teacher!!! You and Ray Mears should consider coming to Canada and doing some multi day work shops as I would love to be your student! Cheers sir!!!

  • your videos are some of the most informative on the web

    I have seen your influence in many other video although they don't

    give you credit for it!!! my question is what is your back ground ????

    military or just bright !!!!

  • hello there Mate how are you

    this shelter is by far the best ive seen on you tube. you explain everything to a "T"

    i still cant over the cable tie idea, its fantastic! furthermore no loud heavy metal music

    perfect, just the sounds of nature the best way to make an instructional video and far enough away from a road (no traffic sound). I wish there was a rating for videos on you tube i would give yours 500%. as i said before the cable tie idea is the best.

  • Great series! thanks for posting!

  • This is great stuff for just going out and camping especially if you want to just live off the bush for few days and live comfortably. but while some of the principles are valid these are pretty extreme and in a real survival situation avoid big elaborate shelters as well keep the fire much closer to the shelter and use as much of that heat as possible. he is losing alot of the heat of that fire and in the it will eat alot of the fire/fuel.

  • looks cool

  • @WEZO24522164 do you have a welsh accent

    iff so what part of wales are you from im from

    cardiff

  • i hope everyone that needs to survive in the wild has a big ass saw on them at all times...

  • can you make avideo om how you made your cot.

  • Most videos show shelters which, although effective, make me cringe at wanting to spend more than the minimal time in them. Yours actually looks cozier and more elegant than most tents I've been in. I'll be practicing your shelter next time I'm up at camp. Great job on your video and thanks for sharing and inspiring!

  • @TheAdironDoc I would make the roof a little steeper if you are expecting rain or bad weather, that thing will leak otherwise. I like this style of shelter the best though, with a nice long fire in front of it to keep you nice and warm.

  • Wish you would make more vids. I really enjoy them.

  • All of the videos in this series are brilliant. You did a terrific job. Well done.

  • Nice vid !!! I liked ur speech at the end

  • well done good sir.

  • good job like a house

  • trinidadian at some point?

  • excellent video very well thought out thank you!

  • kick ass shelter

  • great video royroy cant wait to try this out! question...can i build the shelter to extend further out from the bed for more protection from rain?

  • Fantastic channel and series.I have really enjoyed watching your videos.

    Well done.

    Sandy

  • very cool sereies of videos ! thanks a lot !

  • Yep I've watched your videos for a while and thought " this guy is alright " but now like the others I can see that you really know your stuff.

  • Very nice video ..really enjoyed it.

    Thank you,

  • the one thing if u came bck u would have to replace the pine baws. but dude u rock and keep up the amazi ng work i will probably make one for my huntng camp jst for the fun of it. thanks

  • Thank you, I subscribed.

  • Do you do any long term, a week or more, hiking? Would love to see you wit these skills in action over the long term. Here in America, a lot of areas forbid this sort of woodcraft but there are many things here you could put to good use on the trail, staying someplace differernt every night. Hope you do some videos on packing into the wild country this summer. Would be a pleasure to see. Thanks partner.

  • nice job, cheers

  • you could build a wall oposite the shelter to make a reflector for the fire and would keep you much warmer.

  • the only thing i would have done is made the fire longer and less circular and put a heat reflector up made with logs to get the heat circulating round me

  • Those rocks stay warm for 20 mins only moron. What are you gonna do change rocks every 20 mins all night? Lol

  • @loosertubesucks moron must be a big word for you your just a smart arse teenager hiding behind a computer screen you dont know anything about bushcraft you low life loser

  • @loosertubesucks until you can prove your a better survivalist than him, youre the moron.

  • @loosertubesucks there's always one prick on Y-T and you're the real deal buddy

  • @loosertubesucks what next going postal?

  • you should have your own tv show

  • the only thing it needs is a rain catch witch is just a garbage bag attached to your roof

  • Wow! I just got done watching these, that is amazing! I'm going to try this some time, I've seen Surviviorman do something like this except he didn't have a roof, A+ for the roof top! that was awsome work! I subscribed.

  • get a nikon d700... youll be set! Awsome videos!

  • Very gooood! :) Thumb up for you! It's amazing!!!

  • Just pure awesomeness... Can't wait to get out in the woods and try out some of these ideas! Hope you have more videos on the way!

  • You are officially my new Hero lol

  • shitshit idee with that stones.

    you dont feel that. 1degree more perhaps.

  • Hi, great vids butt, I'm guessing i'm not so far from you judging by your accent...

    Love the wood your in, your lucky to have that sort of access and freedom to do that scale of woodcraft. If you ever want a bit of company when you are out then PM me... I'd love the opportunity and i'm guessing were around the same age, but I'm more of a born again bushcrafter after a 30 yr break for family, work etc...so learning all over again...!

  • and again?

  • Simply OUTSTANDING! Please make some more videos when you have the chance. Thanks so much; very educational!

  • With this i can live in the woods and make my own town

  • you rule. this was a excellent series.

  • Great videos. Thanks for passing along the knowledge.

    What kind of knots were you using to attach the

    shelter's cross-members? Clove Hitch with paracord?

  • I also love your videos, it seems like the making of the shelters is what keeps you going , but after there made and you have relaxed what do you do then, also how long will the green bows last, at what point do they loose there water proofness. show us how you pass the time once your shelters are done. Do you enjoy cooking are wood carving? I am still new to your site so some of these may be aready explained. See ya around the campfire Dave

  • Great videos! I especially liked the series on long term wilderness shelter. You make it look so easy. Thanks for explaining each step as you went along.

  • Awesome shelter! + good craftsmanship!

  • what is that sack called he uses for the bed i cant find one like that the only ones i can fined are for dogs lol ty.

  • Please post more videos sir we really love all your bushcraft videos and I was thinking if u could show us on making a shelter above the ground which can be used as shelter for a longer period .... And god bless you sir for sharing your knowledge

  • Great vid, im going to make one just lik that with another one in the front, four "A" chairs, two in each side to form a circle, a big fire in the middle to warm everybody up..... THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge you are a 5*stars bushmaster

  • Nice! at first i was wondering whats with cable ties. but it just makes sense. quick and easy with no knots. I love the leanto but will never make one again, unless its summer. i live in the rockies where weather can turn below freezing at most times of the year. getting up off the floor is such a nice feature of any shelter for sure!

  • Brother you rock!!!

  • Be prepared for a visit from the taxation department.

  • You just sawed off the roof for the bathroom and guest room.

  • Nice shelter! I'm going to make a long-term shelter too, and this is a nice one! I think I gonna make one like that!

  • I really loved this! But I think we could all put our heads together and learn from each other. One thing I would like to add is; 'I never latch to standing timber. If this is going to be a long long term shelter. I've found that the force of the trees moving constantly, tends to loosen everything. No latching can stand up to the the force of a tree. So I use tripods only. It is completely independent. That way doesn't matter what the trees do. But still an awesome video. Thanks for listening.

  • Great teacher! Well done! I really enjoy the attitude you have. I have learned a lot. Thank you so much for your time and for you sharing your knowledge and yourself. God bless!

  • That is awesome!! looks like a very relaxing camp! You build some great things! serious respect!

  • excellent series. 5 stars each= 35 stars

  • Where are you located.

  • great series of videos. :) Something that I may try and do next year.

  • thats the spirit! best regards sir

  • I woke up at 4 am and started watching your videos I love them they are great thank you sir for your time and hard work ... We need more people like you sharing their wisdom , once agin thank you and may God bless ...

  • Sir, I hope I run into someone like you, when the you-know-what hits the fan. Great Video, I was AMAZED!!!
