MAKING A RAISED SHACK SHELTER CAMP - Axe, Saw, Bushcraft, SOLO BUILD

Join me as I build a raised shack shelter at the bushcraft camp site. I use minimal tools. An axe, saw and bushcraft knife. I make wood supports using Y shaped sticks to build a raised platform that forms the foundation of the shelter. Using wood already cut from my bushcraft camp, I then make the shelter stilted or raised to keep it off the ground. The structure is completely self supporting, and although cordage isn t needed, I decided to scavenge for some tree roots and processed them down with my knife to use as cordage for the timber frame. This is part 1 of the camp build. In part 2 I will build the lean to roof and collect natural materials to cover it. Thanks for joining the adventure!
