BUSHCRAFT SKILLS: Build a Debris Hut #WithMe

Hey guys how you doing? Joe and Tripper out in the bush today. We've decided to come back to the old debris shelter, the shelter that I started the other day and we did that overnight at. Well, Tripper and I keep coming back here because it's just a cool spot to hike to. Every time I keep coming back here I keep throwing little odds and ends onto the shelter and I keep saying to myself I gotta stop, I gotta film. I told these guys I'd film it and show them. So that's what we're going to do today. Today's going to be a quick video. I'm going to finish up this shelter out here. So on that last video you saw us build the framework of the shelter. Saw us gather a bunch of materials and stuff and build half the shelter, camp out in it at night and that was pretty fun. Today we're going to finish it off. You peeing on my shelter bro? You peeing on the shelter? Nice and sunny. It's homely. It's a good spot. Again with the peeing. Your dog. Here's a really nice building material piece but it's got a really big stalk on it and it would be a lot to try to pull down. It's kind of hung up so I think I'll just trim off what I need. need. I use my saw on this one because it's about wrist thick. It's half stuck in the snow most of them are but it's not too hard to get out. There you go. Just warming up man. Doing some work. Sun's coming out. I'm not going to lay my coat on the ground because the dog will probably pee on it. I'm not going to wear my hat. A little warm but I will wear my glasses now because the sun keeps coming out and I have protection for my eyes. We've got a bunch more pieces we have to go get. It's a beautiful day out here. It's almost Easter. It's almost Easter guys. Right after I say that Wind kicks up. That's all right. I'm going to try and pull this right down, which will be good. Topping it like that first made it really easy to cut through without getting bound up in this weird situation. Bounce up that under there. He's sniffing like crazy. It's a success. What did you find? Everyone wave hi to my plane. Wouldn't be a Joe vid. All right, let's check out vid. I hate that vid. Nice vid, man. Anyway, sorry. Let's check out the progress so far on the shelter. I haven't done anything today. So it's just how we left it with just the exception of a couple big pine boughs on the back, right? So we got basically this side to fill in We'll leave that as the door and then we're done when we could throw some extra on top after but we'd really just got to Fill this side in I think what I'm going to do is start putting these boughs down first Because if I start putting these big trees, it's gonna block a lot of this It's gonna block me getting being able to get close to the framework So put these on first throw those on top after and see where we're at Tripper's gonna pee on him he is a pee dog Weather is changing a lot today from sunny to cloudy to sunny to sprinkly, so I do want to go in after and really fill in the ridge line the ridge pole area because That'll be where it'll drip through mostly, but I'm feeling happy about this already I know you're supposed to start shingling from the bottom up, but look it It's not gonna work. Well, I did on the other side. I guess I could do that here Chipper back off please I'm just thinking with throwing all those big pieces on after it's gonna really help with it but I guess I can do this still to Tripper can you not please cuz it's really not helping a lot for me personally it's probably doing something for you but yeah I guess we can do that the proper way proper watch out oh this sides gonna be better I think than the other side I should get some more bows I think before I start putting those on I will I'll go grab a few more bows it's nice when you have a bunch of stuff material ready here to work with you don't have to go put go and put go and put when it's all just here kind of just place it on seems like you're gaining more ground I guess it's looking good though already man hell yeah look at that oh yeah I like the looks that you know what I don't want to put this huge stock on the shelter anyway so I'll trim up the big boughs off of this guy and then cut it down shorter and discard of the stock for now or put it over here with my pile of them use the top and the bows so we're back up buddy go on big guy all right then we'll get rid of it loving this axe sheath again one tree leather check them out one tree leather on Instagram okay are you okay did you get it are you good Here, here, here. Stop, stop, stop. I'll help you. Stop. Open your mouth, buddy. Back up. Tripper, Tripper, stop. I know, I know. Dude, he had that on the roof. Stop. You're gonna do it again. Get that stalk. No. Sideways in the roof of his mouth in between his teeth. He's freaking out. Buddy, you gotta stop that, okay? Crazy dog. Okay, those are the boughs that I got to finish off this top area here, this last area. After that, we're gonna start throwing the big stalks on okay okay got some gaps but I feel good about the amount of boughs we have on the other stocks and stuff so I feel okay about starting to pile it all on now really look at that look at that it's not too shabby we still got all that whole body yeah that's good it'll block some of the ridge pole too like the overhang very cool yeah so I mean once you start putting the big pieces on you of building away from the put as into it but i have that good framework that good lattice i'm happy with that watch out buddy okay that's a lot of bows there that's a whole lot of bows it's nice and dark in here that's good okay i'm gonna put some on the other side too that's awesome guys i'm super stoked on that look at that that big one too all gonna kind of mash each other in here too and hold on pretty good like a little tetris-y puzzle-y jenga jenga type thing. Jenga fort. Jenga fort. What'd you do? Some good mud there. Some good dirt. Some good wormy dirt trip. Find some worms. We'll go fishing. pretty good. Like there's some gaps over here at the bottom, but for the most part, it's pretty solid. I can even start fixing it up from in here. I got some boughs on the ground, like still from last time. A little wet because it's been raining and stuff, but it's okay. This is comfortable, man. I like this. I like this a lot. This is the perfect size for Tripper and I. It's just a cool little hangout. Just a cool spot to come have a fire. When we're allowed to have one, there's a fire ban in Ontario, guys. We got to talk about that in the next video, I think. Uno, one piece. Look at that beast, man. So this black spot in the middle, this dark spot in the middle is not see-through. That's just a dead piece of tree that I threw on there. Hang it up. Hang it up. Hang it up. Hang it up. Go. It's starting to snow and or rain right now but i'm pretty pleased guys pretty pretty pleased with this debris hut and this isn't to say that this is done i can still come and throw stuff on i like the idea of throwing dead stuff like this see this stuff back here it's all punky freaking rotten wood to hold everything down make it a little bit more blended in not so green i like it i like the idea of it a lot of mass a lot of weight a lot of coverage can you do that so you can see what I did with that debris I threw some down there I threw some right at the top again just to give more coverage on top but like the tripods way the ridge pulls way down here and we got stuff way up there blocking so that's really good that's really good and we're underneath the pine tree as it is although it's a sparse pine tree well that's it man I'm calling that done for today like that's 90 percent done regardless i go around and fill a little bit of holes in the bottom and stuff but that's oops that's for next camp but just looking at it looks awesome way way happy with it super impressed way more so than uh the way it was when i got here so i got a short one for you this week but i'm gonna shoot another one while i'm out here before i get headed home it's chilling down you have a good day
