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!!!!!
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.
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 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.
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. 😆
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 😂😂
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.
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 ❤❤
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.
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.
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
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.
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

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
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.

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.
👊👍

I am thankful for your work. You make the best bushcraft videos and explain things well and correct.
Amber is a beautiful dog the coloring on her is gorgeous!
Clicked immediately, I love these bushcraft shelter videos, and isn't Amber a wonderful dog? ❤️

That's insane how sharp your tools are.
Yep
The still of you and Amber is so compelling! She’s a luv, isn’t she? What a beautiful picture that makes!❤
I started watching you with husband. We really enjoy your videos. And we love Amber.
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 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!!!!!
So nice to see another traditional build being done!
That noise is just a UFO. Don't bother. Good video again Dustin. Thank you. 👍😁
🙂Witty contrast between you and Amber as to wood processing!
I like your videos. I especially like your explanations of what you’re doing😊
Love your videos and can't forget Amber ❤️ 💕 💗
Can’t wait to see the finish product.

Definitely keep out all in coming weather warmth is ur friend
Am excited for this build series
Great wee build. I just love seeing Amber in these vids!
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 👍
Excellent video can't wait to see the shelter finished. Atb Stuart
This is a fun hut. Nice you made the bed bigger.
It’s good to see a build again. Looking forward to the next bit 🍺
Great to see amber and you in the forest. Cheers mate
May God bless you and God loves you! John 3:16-18! Amen!!

Great start. Looking forward to following along.
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 😊
I’m still looking forward to my biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast next time! I know Amber agrees with me!
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome build and video.
Even the pros catch their thumb everynow and then 😅
👍ouch
So far so good. Can't wait for more. I wanna build it 😁
small stone fire place.. not quite sure how cold it gets there cheers from northern canada
Good job looks pretty good
I've been waiting for one of you to build a clay woodstove or mass heater in one of the buildings. :D
11:11 great 💪 salam kenal dari Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩👉🔔
The production value of your videos is always top notch.
sick
Amber steals the show!
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!

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. 👍
I really like your axe and folding saw
Helo you did very well

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love to watch you! (2nd only to you King RAFA)
Ow low! 🦉👍 Wonderful!!! Sorry bout the thumb. Quite a whack and all you could muster was a simple "ow"?! Good Man!! ✌️😎✝️🙏
😁😁😁😁👍
Thanks for the video! 🌀💚🌀
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, can’t wait to see the end result. Have missed your content.
Would love to see a cook and catch, possibly pheasant now they're in season or even wood pigeon maybe.
Great build! Love your dog, too 😍
love all ur videos...God bless
Little Sapling: “Ah, I think I’ll just have a nice stretch here on the forest floor.”
Amber: “Oh no you don’t!”
That dog Amber wagging her tail sitting on the bed hehe. She was thinking you built all of that for her.
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
WOW! Vilken skönhet igen, min vän 👍
good see you puting good vid out thanks lee
Thanks Lee 👊
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 ❤❤
great bro, hope to be with you🎉🎉🎉

i would build in a heatsource for warmth and cooking..
Excellent and entertaining as always. Thanks for sharing!
Top shelf video .

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 🙏
In Germany we call it Eichelhäher (Garrulus glandarius)
The noise was a Jay Bird. Like a QUARK sound
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
That sound is magpie (bird) - I hear it whole day long around here. They can make a wide range of different sounds.
❤❤❤❤❤
nice
another great quick video from ya a good start haven't seen a live from you in a while.

Hallo sobat, salam kenal 🙏
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
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.
Great video and great build Dustin. Anymore builds planned with Mike??
Great build❤️
Amazing
Keep up with the good work like the build
Thanks mandy
creative 👍
Nice one 👊🏾🫶🏾
Good video, cool channel. Thank you for video
Cool
mega, very nice build. as for the noise, is that not the noise lee makes every time he finds another chanterelle
Só pra ganhar um laik
This is cool
Loving already doing a awesome job on it so far mate
Legend 👊
Awesome work man
i would like to see a hillside dugout shelter
Amber's treating that stick like it's a t-bone steak LOL
Hello.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello 😊
Looking good!!! curious to know what you are putting in there LOL
Mate this looks so nice. Where did you get that axe from? It looks very good.
