Bushcraft Camp Update 15 - Wood Frame Roof Build (Super Shelter)
The Bushcraft Camp Update series continues, this time I build a wood frame roof for the super shelter. I don t talk for the first part of the Bushcraft shelter building as I needed to concentrate on the construction of the roof frame of the camp. I use a folding shovel to dig a deep hole in the ground to support one of the poles. I then scavenge for wood to make the frame. I cut and saw the logs to length and make simple Log Cabin notches so that the wood frame is naturally supported by each strut. I then build cross members to help with run off for the roof. Once the frame was built, I used a heavy duty tarp and made an adjustable roof system where I can make the roof extend to whatever length I desire. This means that when it is not raining I can open the roof to the camp and be closer to nature. I figured that if I was going to build a permanent wood roof then I may as well have built a Log Cabin structure and that is not what this project is about. So I went for a temporary adjustable roof. The camp is now complete with Hunting Tower with ladder, Dog House, Lean to shelter, raised bed, fire pit , log store and perimeter walls. The Bushcraft Camp Update series is still my favourite to date. Being able to build a natural shelter from resources found in the woods is a key skill to have. I enjoy spending time alone in the woods, it helps me to reconnect with nature and learn Bushcraft & Survival Skills while doing solo overnight camps in the forest. To start with I built this supershelter using cheap tools to save money. As my knowledge developed I began to purchase better quality tools to help me get tasks done faster. I still have a few more things to add to the camp. Stay tuned for those. Thanks so much for joining me on the adventure! - Mike Watch Every Episode of the Camp Build here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxnadpeGdTxDx1J1izeZ47ozu1g4XjMzM OFFICIAL TA OUTDOORS MERCH: https://taofficial.com TA OUTDOORS PATCHES: https://www.taoutdoors.com TA INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/taoutdoorofficial TA FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/totallyawesomeoutdoors TA TWITTER: https://twitter.com/OutdoorsTa BEGINNER BUSHCRAFT GEAR: https://www.taoutdoors.com/bushcraft-gear/ INTERMEDIATE BUSHCRAFT GEAR: https://www.taoutdoors.com/intermediate-gear/ ADVANCED BUSHCRAFT GEAR: https://www.taoutdoors.com/advanced-gear/ GEAR LIST: Gjora Leather Gloves: https://www.crudsweden.se/store/p/0/gj%C3%B6ra-gloves-680716 Boreal 21 Folding Bow Saw: https://agawacanyoninc.com/ Virtus Utilis Knife: http://www.virtusknives.com/the-utilis/ Fivejoy Folding Shovel: https://fivejoy.com/products/fivejoy-compact-military-folding-shovel-rs Husqvarna Hatchet: https://www.husqvarna.com/uk/parts-accessories/axes/ Subscribe to our other Fishing YouTube Channel "TAFishing" here: https://www.youtube.com/tafishing Music: http://www.epidemicsound.com/ FILMING & CAMERA GEAR I USE: Main Camera: https://amzn.to/2SG9unv Drone: https://amzn.to/2WSQ1za Standard Lens: https://amzn.to/2E5LFxs Wide Angle Lens: https://amzn.to/2E3U6t0 Zoom Lens: https://amzn.to/2tfb4yl 50mm fixed Lens: https://amzn.to/2BvUAGN Main Camera Microphone: https://amzn.to/2I9tVVQ Secondary Camera Mic: https://amzn.to/2WYP3RQ Radio Microphone: https://amzn.to/2Ifqaym Camera Light: https://amzn.to/2MYA4mn Powerbank: https://amzn.to/2WYQVdk Tripod: https://amzn.to/2DtumVm GoPro Action Cam: https://amzn.to/2UPS9Wx GoPro Chest Mount: https://amzn.to/2tfCkwu GoPro Head Mount: https://amzn.to/2WWBra3 Camera SD Cards: https://amzn.to/2WVWcT5 Editing Laptop: https://amzn.to/2BtRK4S BUSHCRAFT GEAR I USE: Bushcraft Pants/Trousers: https://amzn.to/2SFY8jf 3x3 Metre Tarp: https://amzn.to/2IjM4Az Hammock: https://amzn.to/2N0Vpvx Hammock underblanket: https://amzn.to/2GmeBmT Thermal Camping Air Mattress: https://amzn.to/2N0uQXs Awesome Affordable Bushcraft Knives: https://amzn.to/2SLhWle Medium Axe: https://amzn.to/2E5NBWK Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe: https://amzn.to/2E5FkC1 Small Hatchet: https://amzn.to/2I319Gb Affordable Firesteel: https://amzn.to/2N1D3L8 Folding Camp Grill: https://amzn.to/2BvF6lM Durable GPS Watch: https://amzn.to/2N1fQZl These are Amazon associate links and help to support my channel. #bushcraft #survival #camp
