    One thing I would add, that would really help keep it nice and warm in a shelter like that, would be to find some rocks to kind of frame out half of your firepit. That way the rocks would be in between you and the fire, and as they heated it would keep the heat throughout the night.

    I'd like to now why you didn't start a fire FIRST. I'm a former wilderness / big game guide. I always get a fire going and collect ample wood. It keeps me warm as I build the shelter and should I injure myself I have a fire that can save my life. It's hard to collect wood with a twisted ankle or an ax injury to the body. Loved the video, but safety first. Get the fire going. In the wilderness "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it"

      ​@@mg13-r3syou're comparing apples to oranges.. a bush survivalist spot hopper vs combat stealth enemy puppy kicker.. hes not trained like you are.. you can't survive without fire, you'll die.. its him.. no chopper ready to extract.. no medic.. we're not training for missions.. we are just trying to survive.. you decide in the moment, can I stay warm for long enough to get shelter, or do I start my fire? Need water, must start fire to melt snow.. I really hope he doesn't have to dodge bullets while havin some warm tea.. but that's cool the army teaches you to go camping and expect hostiles in the area that you have to deprive your natural survival instincts.. apples to oranges.. you're shttn on OP who's not wrong.. but not perfect like you are.. you're kid goes in boy scouts and you go camping with them, you're liable to scare the sht out of them, cuz they're gonna thing someone's hunting them while they're sleeping with a small fire for chrst sakes

    Excellent thing to show having your roof also be a source of tinder. Forgaing extra materials before you need them and to serve more than one purpose to have right inside your shelter is always important and many times overlooked.

    My all-time favorite emergency shelter on UA-cam for two reasons. #1. Its ingenious two saw-horse construction technique allowed for plenty of space, while offering very good protection against the snow. #2. It looked like something a "normal" person could construct with a minimum of tools and no chain saws. I don't like those Taj Mahal-like dugout "emergency" shelters with perfectly cut 12 inch logs, rock and mortar fireplaces, etc. Nice job and thanks for posting.

    Camping in minus 5 degrees Celsius was an unforgettable experience-the coldest I’ve ever camped in, it rarely gets mutch colder where i live. But despite layering up in my warmest gear, the chill crept in, especially during the night, making me appreciate the simple luxury of a hot drink by the fire. It was challenging and didnt got mutch sleep that night, but the quiet beauty of the frost-covered landscape made it all worthwhile.

    @teddyb4957 Місяць тому +9

    Two comments/tips,
    1. When you make the roof rather than cutting the thinner top off to length, cut part of the way through and then fold down. This then forms your end wall that you can lay evergreen branches against, as you did with the side.
    2. when doing the side with evergreen branches a) do this BEFORE covering the roof with evergreen branches, and use last branch junction [bottom branch of a growing tree] to form a hook. This is then hung over your outer most roof pole. When you then put the evergreen branch roof on this stops the side from being blown/disturbed by the wind.The top won't be blown away as a) you have a lot of weighted branches on top of each other with gravity acting on them, and b) when it snows this will add more weight and form an air/water tight roof.

    This is incredible. Where is this and how long did it take you each day to build this?
