My uncle saw me watching a bunch of these videos and he said that when he did bushcraft he always took a pencil sharpener. He said he would use it on sticks and then use the shavings for building up a fire.
So glad you’re back. Missed you and Amber terribly. I was worried about the demolition of the debris shelter knocked the wind out of your sails. So very happy to see new vids. You’re a genuine soul. A gentleman, and a true bushman. God speed Dustin. Much❤ from the States.
The dowels in the bed rails are a vast improvement over stakes in the ground. It will be more stable and last longer. Appreciate you always making Amber's comfort a priority. Good teaser for the mystery project in the next video. Looking forward to it. 👍
When I turned eleven my dad was transferred to Portsmouth, NH with the 509th BW of our Air Force. It was a brand new AFB built during the end of the Cold War. It had been a huge farm just West of Portsmouth with an included lake. We lived ther for five years. We built many small structures in the woods like these held together with vines and brambles.
Excellent build and it'll be awesome to watch it progress. Yep, extra wide bed is a great idea as Amber would rather sleep on top of you instead of on a separate bed. Hmmm, brand new, a folding table. "What would I build", maybe an indoor firepit for cooking and warmth in inclement weather. 👍
Great work and video as always Dustin. Where there's more snow, a shelter like this gains a lot of cold-weather insulation from snow cover. You could probably use a layer of leaves near the bottom of the walls/roof to retain some heat. As this is a smaller shelter, you might try for some removable or foldable furniture, maybe a table against the back wall. How about trying a greased paper window? It's good to see that Amber still enjoys watching you work!
I just found your channel and I love it!!!!! I definitely liked the video and subscribed to your channel by hitting the notification bell for any future uploads. This is truly amazing!!!!!
The fact that I was completely immersed and relaxed is what made the ouch all the more funny 😂 but if it makes you feel any better you’ve earned a new subscriber, great vid 👍
Were MY IDEAS miraculously melded with your skills, I would do much as you have done. I would NOT rely on the A-Frame shelter because of the hard-to-use space just under the eaves. Good Luck with having Amber snuggle in there! Going forward, I would make provisions for a safe stove and chimney stack. I'd LIKE to see a cedar shake roof. (I would buy in the shakes.)
Looks Fantastic and Truly Peaceful! Your Amber is My BabyElla ( Great Pyrenees Boxer Mix Girl) and My Boy Reagan- Golden Retriever. Truly Mans Best Friends!
I have a auger just like yours. One of the things a really appreciate about it is the handle design. It’s designed so that a stick can be pounded through it and it comes out the same diameter of the auger. Really cool design feature. Drill the hole and make a pin to fit it.
I had one single cat who took up so much room that I went from having a double bed to buying a queen sized bed so she'd have space. Many a cat has slept next to me since them, something multiple cats, and I have always had enough room so I highly recommend a big bed.
If you don't want the stakes and poles to decay fast, you should burn the ends of them before pounding them in the ground. It really stays a lot longer.
Excellent I like when people explain what's going on the silent videos is pretty much worthless to me do some cooking next time great video thanks for sharing
First of all let me say I love all your content, I've learned a lot. So my five year old daughter wants you to make a response video on why you use wooden dolls. 😆
Great video. FYI...Did you know that the handle end of your Scotch-eyed auger is designed to cut the pegs to the perfect size. Note one side of it is tapered to a sharp edge. It's so much harder to hand cut the pegs to the correct size, and you stand the chance of splitting the logs if you force them.
I'm pretty sure that the metal loop at the top of your scotch-eye auger is for cutting the pegs to the right size. The taper on one side of it is supposed to carve the stick down to the perfect size as its pounded through. Cheers.
Niiiice. Been waiting for new bushcraft shelter build! ✌️🤠 Can't wait to see more of it. Needs fireplace! 🔥 btw I wondered when I hear the "ouch" word when you hammered your finger 😂😂
Great video!! Dog is gorgeous. Somehow your hands are not banged up like my carpenter dad's hands 😂 fantastic video though. Very well done. Great for back ground entertainment while I work ..on computer ❤❤
The scotch eye is actually designed to make a dowel the size of the hole you drilled. That's why the eye is tapered on one end acts like a cutting edge to make the dowel
I'm heading out to build a longhouse soon. Perhaps with your build I might either build a large fireplace in the back wall or even extend it in that direction make a full kitchen. I'm hoping to build a bent wood longhouse and have a large fireplace directly across from the bed. A rack above the bed for storage and also drape blankets or tarps around the 4 sides and top for insulation, like a canopy bed. It would be great to smoke meats in the chimney. A rack up high is out of the way for storage and harder for mice to get to (No idea what your bear situation is). I'm planning a tiny greenhouse or solarium too, but looks like you're going with pure primitive.
Looking at the roof structure i can't help but think how much more space you'd have inside if those timbers were sat on a 3 or 4 foot high wattle wall. I know you'd then have to daub it and all the work that would cause but either way it is another interesting build.
My uncle saw me watching a bunch of these videos and he said that when he did bushcraft he always took a pencil sharpener. He said he would use it on sticks and then use the shavings for building up a fire.
My cabelas multi tool has a nice little wood shaver on it. Proper tinder is #1. I always carry fatwood with me.
And if you decided to write measurements on your hands with a bic pen, you can wash it off with milk if you have some in the woods.😊
@@raymondrodriguez5068what a crazy comment to make lmao
@@PapaVik1218I usually take birch bark with me very versatile stuff you can even make a cup out of the stuff
Get magnesium pencil sharpeners. You can spark the wood shavings a lot easier with a little bit of magnesium shaved in there as well
So glad you’re back. Missed you and Amber terribly. I was worried about the demolition of the debris shelter knocked the wind out of your sails.
So very happy to see new vids.
You’re a genuine soul. A gentleman, and a true bushman. God speed Dustin. Much❤ from the States.
I really like your axe and folding saw

The still of you and Amber is so compelling! She’s a luv, isn’t she? What a beautiful picture that makes!❤
Can’t wait to see the finish product.
I started watching you with husband. We really enjoy your videos. And we love Amber.
Amber is a beautiful dog the coloring on her is gorgeous!
Heck, Yes. That is exactly what I asked for. You're awesome. I love A-frame shelters. They are easy to build and very sturdy. Thank you.
👊👍
Am excited for this build series
I am thankful for your work. You make the best bushcraft videos and explain things well and correct.
I like your videos. I especially like your explanations of what you’re doing😊
Great start. Looking forward to following along.
Excellent video can't wait to see the shelter finished. Atb Stuart
Clicked immediately, I love these bushcraft shelter videos, and isn't Amber a wonderful dog? ❤️
Legend 👊

This is a fun hut. Nice you made the bed bigger.
Great wee build. I just love seeing Amber in these vids!

May God bless you and God loves you! John 3:16-18! Amen!!
That noise is just a UFO. Don't bother. Good video again Dustin. Thank you. 👍😁
Amber steals the show!
11:11 great 💪 salam kenal dari Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩👉🔔
Love your videos and can't forget Amber ❤️ 💕 💗
Definitely keep out all in coming weather warmth is ur friend

So nice to see another traditional build being done!

I just built my first bushcraft shelter at 16!
Legend
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS yh but i abandoned it cuz i was just chilling on the long inside and a snake slithered in, i was not having that
The noise at the end sounded like a deer caller that hunters use. Could have just been a duck or goose though. Great vid again 😊
Good job looks pretty good
🙂Witty contrast between you and Amber as to wood processing!
Awesome build and video.
Even the pros catch their thumb everynow and then 😅
👍ouch
The fact that I was completely immersed and relaxed is what made the ouch all the more funny 😂 but if it makes you feel any better you’ve earned a new subscriber, great vid 👍
That's insane how sharp your tools are.
Yep
It’s good to see a build again. Looking forward to the next bit 🍺
Eu amo vídeos com cachorros.❤
Love the way you joined them with the pegs definitely more sturdy. I want to be able to stand up even if it’s on just one side.
I’m still looking forward to my biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast next time! I know Amber agrees with me!
🤣🤣🤣
I've been waiting for one of you to build a clay woodstove or mass heater in one of the buildings. :D
The production value of your videos is always top notch.

So far so good. Can't wait for more. I wanna build it 😁
Love to watch you! (2nd only to you King RAFA)

Helo you did very well
Might you post the longer versions of these videos mate? Always great to see the process Dustin.
Yes mate, full build will be out in December. 👍
love all ur videos...God bless
small stone fire place.. not quite sure how cold it gets there cheers from northern canada
another great quick video from ya a good start haven't seen a live from you in a while.
I had one single cat who took up so much room that I went from having a double bed to buying a queen sized bed so she'd have space. Many a cat has slept next to me since them, something multiple cats, and I have always had enough room so I highly recommend a big bed.
sick
Would love to see a cook and catch, possibly pheasant now they're in season or even wood pigeon maybe.
Thanks for the video! 🌀💚🌀
Great build! Love your dog, too 😍
If you don't want the stakes and poles to decay fast, you should burn the ends of them before pounding them in the ground. It really stays a lot longer.
Yeah, I agree. This is just a short term (up to 12 months) shelter. Thank you
Top shelf video .
Cheers
Excellent I like when people explain what's going on the silent videos is pretty much worthless to me do some cooking next time great video thanks for sharing
I love your content. Can you provide the measurements of the woods etc? I want to build my own here on my land in the country
Thank you for watching 🙏
That dog Amber wagging her tail sitting on the bed hehe. She was thinking you built all of that for her.
Looking good!!! curious to know what you are putting in there LOL
Awesome work man
Great build❤️
Ow low! 🦉👍 Wonderful!!! Sorry bout the thumb. Quite a whack and all you could muster was a simple "ow"?! Good Man!! ✌️😎✝️🙏
😁😁😁😁👍
Excellent and entertaining as always. Thanks for sharing!
Keep up with the good work like the build
Thanks mandy

good see you puting good vid out thanks lee
Thanks Lee 👊
Great video and great build Dustin. Anymore builds planned with Mike??
i would like to see a hillside dugout shelter
This is cool
Good video, cool channel. Thank you for video
creative 👍

That's a settlers tool, a modified scotch eye. A regular scotch eye is just flat metal on the handle, although you can sharpen the hole I suppose.

That sound is magpie (bird) - I hear it whole day long around here. They can make a wide range of different sounds.
mega, very nice build. as for the noise, is that not the noise lee makes every time he finds another chanterelle
Nice one 👊🏾🫶🏾
Little Sapling: “Ah, I think I’ll just have a nice stretch here on the forest floor.”
Amber: “Oh no you don’t!”

The squirles around here make that noise all the time. I used to think it was a bird, but nope. Saw the darned thing on a branch.
In Germany we call it Eichelhäher (Garrulus glandarius)
The noise was a Jay Bird. Like a QUARK sound
Could you also build some commodities? For examplea char and a table?
Sounded like a muntjac deer to me.
Good suggestion
That noise at the end was most defiantly a baby Sasquatch.
relaxed to your vlog after a hard days work loved it mate be be well and safe !
i would build in a heatsource for warmth and cooking..
