Huts made Mostly of Natural material. nails, rope and tarps okay
That's my dump from Google images please share, your / interesting builds
>>2770424sooo...Are these for hiding from your mom when she tells you to get a part time job, or a place to stay when your wife's boyfriend comes over and they kick you out for the night?
>>2770446It's so I don't have to get a job yes. My wife's boyfriend and I get along quite well thanks
>>2770427I like the whole ass cupboard there. like someone went through the effort of bushcrafting this shack but also hauled out a heavy piece of furniture.
>>2770527It all looks like scrap """rEClAIMeD""" wood not like he sawed it out of the woods
>>2770424
>>2770424natural is best
I've already been bitten by 3 snakes, how do i avoid snakes hopping into bed with me in these structures?
>>2770681i think the biggest thing you can do is learn how to avoid having them bite youits not really possible to seal yourself up to an extent that you can be sure that there arent any holes for a snake to get in, and if that was possible its possibly going to make it dangerous to breathe in thereso my advice is to learn how to not freak out and then either carry a snake hook or keep a stick that works as one around and know how to use it
>>2770681gartner snakes dont bite
Please share builds I need ideas truly
>>2770424The problem with most of these "bushcraft shelters" is they're not waterproof. The roof is 90% of a shelter. And hardly anyone can get it right.Your only real bushcraft (non tarp) options are:>1.) Get yourself a froe and split a bunch of shakes out of log rounds. Requires nails.>2.) Peel the bark from certain trees. Can only be done at certain times of the year. Requires nails or robust thorns.>3.) Scoops. You split a log in half, then hollow out the flat sides into a long open ended troughs. You make a bunch of these, and lay one layer with the trough facing up, one layer with the trough facing down covering the gaps. Time consuming, but incredibly strong and if chinked with moss can even retain a lot of heat. Requires zero nails or fasteners as the logs are laid at a very shallow angle so their weight alone keeps the roof on.I have only seen one person on YT create a scoop roof. They were very happy with it and it's been serving them well for years now. You usually see a log roof, like in ops pic, which looks cool and is easy to make, but it isn't waterproof unless you lay a tarp over it, which kind of defeats the purpose of a bushcraft camp. I'd love for scoop roofs to come back in fashion. No one has made a proper scoop roof cabin in 100 years. They used to be very common from Minnesota to the Olympic Peninsula in WA State. Everyone used to know how to make them.
>>2771285meh, the driftwood shelters ive built at the beach (in the pacific northwest no less) have been plenty watertight and kept me dry overnight in storms
>>2770424>Goes into a forest>Chops down a bunch of trees to larp for a weekendI hate you fucktards so god damn much
>>2771296im gonna take a meaty shit and just leave it on the forest floor too
on a real note anyone got some cool hunter cabin type builds im tryna go off grid
>>2771285im saying that tarps and nails are okay in the build
>>2770667Yes, that is basically a wigwam. Dugouts are sturdy, easier than a cabin, can be as simple or stealthy as you want. Some have entrances like tunnel shelters, others are easy to conceal with debris and bushcraft.
>>2771371Here are some examples of underground dugout shelters and bushcraft shelters. A dugout is just a hole with reinforced wooden walls, can have wooden flooring and ceiling. More permanent underground construction involves concrete. Dugouts are usually made as fortifications, similar to trenches and tunnels.
>>2771373A tipi style shelter with turf covering.
>>2771373>Dugouts are usually made as fortifications, similar to trenches and tunnels.Primitive dugout with some logs, easy to conceal the entrance, can sleep soundly and even cache things. A sufficiently concealed shelter under a sufficient layer of dirt or stone, such as a cave or tunnel or dugout, can prevent detection from satellites, aircraft, thermal sensors.The thick layer of Earth can also protect from strikes from drones, jets, artillery, mortars, helicopters, and so on. Tree cover can conceal you from indirect angles and even satellite imagery, but not from drones or aircraft positioned directly above, especially with thermal sensors.
>>2771377A safehouse can conceal you from aerial detection and detection in general, but safehouses can also be raided. The physical underground will conceal you from aerial detection and aerial threats, tunnels and caves, dugouts and natural shelters. Being able to read a topographic map with color coded tree cover is an important outdoor skill, but thousands of caves are simply not charted or even easy to find and access if documented, let alone man-made tunnels, shelters, caches.Effective guerrillas need to practice light, sound, and signal discipline to evade aerial detection and aerial attacks. Flashlights and campfires can give away a position in the night, as can loud noises and being detected making movements while in tightly packed formations rather than far apart. It is also important to minimize and often completely eliminate wireless signals electronically emitted and tracked by SIGINT.
>>2771378An early warning system allows guerrillas to be informed of approaching aircraft and ambush them effectively with machine guns and unguided rockets, as expensive guided SAM launchers are easily deterred by modern aircraft with flares and other counter-measures.
>>2771366>LOL I don't give a shit at all about the forest I'm fucking up>I'm going to get away from it all but film and photograph everything and put it online for validation>anyone who calls me out I will ignore, mock or demean because anyone who knows more about something than me is an enemy I know boomerI knowThere are millions of people just like you.
>>2771544dude its fully legal where i am to camp in the bush im just looking for natural shelters build em out of mud i dont care im not destroying the forrest where u think we came from homie
>>2771693You're not the norm good sir.I find these blown out forest patches used by larpers around me and it's almost always the same--they came in, fucked it up, and left without a care. Worse, they teach their kids to do it.
>>2771704yea nah zero waste natural hut degrades once left probs a mean bird house
>>2771710The issue isn't hut degradation, it is that they cut down evergreens and totally fuck up the succession process. They also absolutely don't do "zero waste"
>>2771712i live in a rain forrest theres no shortage of vines and dead fall im just looking for some tarp houses essentially gonna get a pellet gun and a gps and chill for a while
>>2770880Tf fuck are talking about, of course they do
>>2771743>>2770880Who gives a shit if they bite--they smell like rot and make your hands smell like snake piss if you handle them. I'd rather be bitten.They're precious little slug slayers but fuck me not a chance I'm going to touch those stinky bigfoot dick smelling striped noodles.
>>2770424Picrel is fictional, is that a center island/column I see? Think they actually built it or is it a set piece of some kind? Of course it's a set piece, think it would be feasible irl tho? You could tarp over the walls during bad weather, like >>2770429
>>2771844closer up
>>2771844>>2771846Also I just read the snake bit, lol good luck keeping them out of these.
>>2771846Those are mean fortifications more like that appreciated
>>2771958It's from one of the NuStarWars idk which one sorry. But it does look cool, no? I would be actually impressed if they actually built them and they're not just set pieces.
>>2771377>stay hidden but die from mold
Sweet lodge
>>2772031>>2772036>>2772045>>2772046thanks for replying any actual picks irl of what im describing
I got tons of complements at my fur trade Rendezvous for my location and camp set up. This log was the prefect fire reflector and worked fantastically keeping me warm.I'm hoping to get the same location again
>>2771285A scoop roof would be incredibly easy to make with some timber bamboo
>>2772495Based on the sketch it looks like it's just peeled bark from the very trees he uses for the logs of the shelter.
>>2772489Awesome set up I got heaps of possum where I am people trap them an pluck the fur
>>2772648
>>2772665imma have to go for a break action pellet gun but boy would i love a flintlock
>>2772665shelters pretty sound as well im thinking slightly bigger for my camp can be semi permanent perhaps a stove of some kind
>>2772669My goal is to have a semi permanent shelter a frame and use my diamond fly as the roof whenever I shelter there. Think a civil war winter quarters. Even do a chimney and wood stove. >>2772668Veterans arms or Military Heritage Arms.India made muskets, but they work fantastically. I own a fusil de chasse from vet arms. That 20guage smoothbore I'd so versatile. I definitely want a snaphaunce as my next flinter.
>>2772693I can't speak on makes of blunderbusses but I will be getting a .117 or .22 air rifle for small game like birds and possum
>>2771377>The thick layer of Earth can also protect from strikes from drones, jets, artillery, mortars, helicopters, and so onYou'll never be important enough to get hunted by your government but no, it can't protect you from that
>>2773132>You'll never be important enoughjust wait, check the news on the 3rd of may, 2030
I know of a few stands of invasive runner bamboo. Has anyone made a shelter out of it? I won't be able to fully larp because palms are noob existent here.
>>2772693>>2772711>>2773132>>2772668Relevant and timely:https://youtu.be/CdYGReN_Pgs
>>2773311Rest in peace Paul taught me alot one of his clips I'll always remember was him clearing a 22 mag and clearing the camber and then firing it without looking displaying that some guns will bite when u think ur safe
>>2773311Rest in peace, poor bugger
>>2771844>>2771846>>2772031These are from the Star Wars Andor series. It was actually an okay show, for being Star Wars slop.
From 50$ underground house.
>>2771285a roof made of rushes/straw and/or tree bows woven similarly is waterproof, which is why they made houses with thatched roofs. the dirt roofs also work well.
>>2771844>think it would be feasible irlvery, the walls are thick sheets rolled up to the rafters. you can see they overlap too. the roof itself looks like a round log cabin with moss, harder to build but do-able.pic rel, you smellin' what i'm thinkin'?
>>2774044>floods>nothing personnel
>>2774156nice pic very mystical
>>2771296Based
>>2774282It definitely looks pleasing. I like the rolled walls, would be very pleasant in good weather.
>>2770446I made it for you sportI'm your mom's new boyfriend & I thought you could hide out there when she wants to talk to you about getting a job or when the sound of us fucking gets too loud.
>>2774915ill also be smoking frog venom and playing how many ground nesting bird eggs can i step on
>>2770424check out my new hut
>>2775342nice yurt splurt
>>2775342>it's my first time
>>2773132I'm not important, I'm just some poor redneck.The feds do spend real resources failing to catch moonshiners here.But the feds do threaten to raid my home and kill me for illegal explosives.I wish it didn't have to be this way. Just wanted to raise some happy cows in the clover.Caves do protect from even heavy munitions, and are great for stockpiles much like dugouts, tunnels, caches.Am already being hunted by the state, but I'm not afraid. The state is afraid. They need a full squad of armed and armored men.Because the truth is that I will never surrender. I will kill at least one of them with a knife before they can shoot me down.That is what keeps my home from being raided like the f-n Middle East. My faith. A fully geared squad for one man.One day you will realize, God is the greatest. He is above the government and all the armies. All those missiles.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOOK AT THESE BUBBAS LARPING AS MEDIEVAL PEASANTS LMFAO hahahaha It doesn't pass a day you don't post something bizarre and fucking hilarious on this shit board hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha
>>2775956Listen here BUDDY all camping is larping as a mid evil poor fag ur sleeping in a thin tent without heating on the floor I just don't want a storm to ravage it's way through a shit box tent so I'm building something with solid wallas an roof got that BUDDY?
>>2776104No, bubba. That's pragmatic and practical. Building a dirt floor dugout is for larping as medieval serfs KEK at least larp as a noble.
>>2776140Put sticks on ground am I more of a Noble
>>2775856>the feds do threaten to raid my home and kill me for illegal explosives>I wish it didn't have to be this wayHave you tried not owning illegal explosives?
>>2773301would be interested in some that work for the eastern canadian wilderness winters. This one so far is the only practical one I think.
>>2774044i bought that book cause of /out/ and it is utter dogshit. the dude rants about "indians" like he's from the 1800s and even more importantly all the designs are DOGSHIT like look at this water cistern. and 90% of the book is just floor plans and there's not even much about actually building a damn house in the book
>>2776181desu I would definitely scalp him (and you) if not for the laws of this land Nothin personnel
post some mean huts guys cooooome awwwnnn
This one I'm a big fan of cos I have lots of vines gonna be forging my first knife soon too it's gonna be a barong style
Interested as to how this does in the rain with that open entrance perhaps they had hatches but what if you wanted to have a fire while it was rainy
>>2776894Imagine it's fully built
Story's of great shelters welcome too just need some tips and knowledge
>>2770424>>2776179>Huts made Mostly of Natural material.>rope and tarps okay>some that work for the [northern] canadian wilderness wintersMors Kochanski's super shelter is specifically this
>>2776900so the most basic is a rough lattice of branches interwoven randomly, with some foliage on top then dead leaves. you can make a nice comfy dome that way. was often made as a half-done, one side open, for a fire.next is the classic teepee or tipi.big long logs, resting up against each other , branches on top, hole in the middle at the top, fire in the middle.having recently been somewhere with no trees but lots of rocks, can confirm that dry stone walling is tiring but do-able. add a tarp roof and plug any gaps with moss and it is an excellent shelter. the key is to lay the stones like this
>>2776970Thanks for that knowledge got any pics of your stone creation?
>>2776948thats cool but like... a its got a huge wide open hole in it. I'll read up on it but have my doubts.
>>2776176those would be his wifes farts
>>2777013>its got a huge wide open hole in itClose the door.
>>2776995no, sorry! i took none, i was too busy working on my camping spot and just enjoying the outdoors, but also, phone was off, intentionally. I want to be away from the modern world when i go out.this last outing of mine was for reconnaissance to make this camping spot campable and scout the surrounding area, mostly for water (lots of beautiful cascades found and even a spring!!! drank from all, totally pure)my creation was a simple small oval hut, made from some ruins of what was probably once a sheepfold, could sleep 3 or 4. needed a lot of repairs and fallen stones putting back, lacking any chisels or hammers my stones were not as neat as that pic, but they don't have to be. you will find that stones "set" in a certain position and when they are set, they are super solid, but every stone may be balancing against every other by only 3 points, making a stable tripod. did my best to lay the stones as in the above pic; long length into the wall, not along it.one thing no one talks about in making a camping spot is levelling ground.as many of you may know, sleeping on a slant is kind of horrible and you end up sliding down it.i took an entrenching tool and used it as a hoe to dig from the high ground and move that to the low, any rocks i dug out I returned to the wall.to keep it dry inside, water will need to be diverted, means I will have to dig a moat. no one talks about it again, but most houses in wet places have a small ditch dug around them to divert water, they each stand on a little island. they would be damp inside without that.When you build a hut this is probably something to consider, as I and many others have had our camp spots rained out, and not by the downpour from which we were sheltered, but by the water which begins to flow in under the tarp.
>>2777039Thanks for the experience would you say dugouts are impossible in the rain >>2773301This one I like, I would put a tarp down before covering it with dirt but would the rain work it's way In if so why are they even a thing maybe just a desert shelter?
>>2776236probably
>>2777513not impossible but you do need to rectify water ingress. even a little embankment or sloped area to create run-off, away from your hut, that's how your house stays dry, lots of ledges and little covers to prevent rain from running into gaps.
>>2777633I'd probably build it into the side of a hill with those angled roofs would you say that would be enough to not turn my den into an onsen and of course a hatch
>>2777686yeah, so many factors play in, like you could dig into an area where water is naturally channelled under ground and you'd never know, but that will definitely help.like i once heard someone say that humans have an uncontrollable urge to dig, especially to find shiny things, like: the reflective surface of water. it's a survival instinct and why we like shiny rocks and metal :)I think it will definitely give you a better chance at being dry but you have to choose your spot wisely. at the end of the day, you can always dig multiple or improve them as you learn where the water gets in.
>>2777703thanks for the encouragement bro ill make a thread here when i give it a go. digging holes and shiny objects being a primal urge make a lot of sense seein as i only want to make flashy knives acquire a magnum pellet gun and live in a cozy hole, for the moment atleast
>>2777744>thanks for the encouragement bro ill make a thread here when i give it a go.yeah! looking forward to it!> i only want to make flashy knives acquire a magnum pellet gun and live in a cozy holethe dream life.
>>2770424whats the trick to making a wikiup without any cordage. balancing the tripod is such a delicate act
>>2778060at least 3 interlocking sticks with a V shape in the top.
>>2778177oh right the v shape branch, makes sense. thank you
>>2771544are you tipping this with dicks in your mouth and arse?
>>2770667What kind of hide is on the top? Is it Buffalo or something else?
makes me want to play Valheim again. the building aspect of that game is so comfy.
>>2778815>that skinny cross bar not tied on well and no notches.i have concerns but this guy is a bro.
>>2778359if it's buffalo it looks very light in colour, i suspect it is about 5 deer hides, maybe reindeer hides.
Adirondack shelters are the best.
>>2779198post exampleno i will not google it.
>>2779556It's an Adirondack chair but upside down. The joke is that the nights where you drink until you fall over and take your chair with you are the best nights.
>>2770424mesolithic era had the best huts
>>2779914I like how they've included that string across the entrance so any outsiders trying to sneak in get clotheslined.
>>2776995if the thread dies before i am back look out for hut thread mk 2, i am heading out to my spot soon, will try to get some photos,
which one of these can be built in a day
Canvas teepees (at least 3 poles) and tents (at least 2 poles) are probably the quickest semi-permanent shelters to set up. They don't have as much insulation as a wood dirt and litter shelter but they have the advantage of being adapted for nomadic use and portable. If you had the time you could probably dig a trench or a hole with a downhill drain for it to provide better insulation. And you could build a fire wall facing inwards towards the tent/teepee for more warmth.
>>2777020imagine the humidity
>>2780519
https://youtu.be/h5iyA_L1W4I?feature=shared
>>2780278almost all, apart from the big ones with a lot of cut logs.>>2774157 could be done in a day but, a WHOLE day, not when you arrive at 2pm after travelling in.
>>2776995shit phone corrupted most of the photosmy mates might have more but they're not back in civilization yet
>>2780849btw in that photo you can kinda see the little ditch we dug surrounding the stone circle, to divert water. this is from inside, facing the other way, you can see it is dug into the hillside a little bit.most of the day was spent moving a VERY large rock in the middle of the enclosure, easily 200kgs. we did it by leverage and using rocks to shore it up, slowly raising it up to a position where it could be slid out.
Cool design!
>>2770424a bit of a stretch to call this just a hut but it is made of natural materials. muh neolithic ancestors were so based
>>2774156Oh fuck.
>>2770446YWNBAWjobs are for poor people
>>2770666>Build kammi>Call it reconstructed mesolithic round house
>>2770446
>>2776995phone decided to play ball now for some unknown reason.I've made a lot more progress on it but got no photos.
>>2776995spent the last few days there moving the large rock in the foreground of this photo, it must weigh somewhere around 250kg. I moved it by levering it up with my entrenching tool and adding rocks under it, got it way up and moved it forwards with log rollers and more leverage untill it is now the footpath in the doorway, which is about 2 feet above the ground level. I also intend to make some small steps up to it, watch this space for photos, or if the thread dies, I will start the new huts thread.I even managed to put in a long piece of crystalline stone, similar to a basalt column (although i am pretty certain it is not basalt by the colour) as one of the gate posts at the entrance, i thought it was never going to "set" against all the steep angles of stone where I wanted to put it, but after one or two attempts it found a spot and locked in so solid I was really amazed.can't wait to get back out and work on it. more photos to come.
>>2782760crazy how the same style of architecture is found in europe, asia, africa and north america all at the same time
>>2776948>>2777020i miss this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe, his book "bushcraft" is fantastic 10/10 would recommend
>>2787115noice, did you build this?
>>2776995>>2784739>more photos to come.dug the "moat" way deeper and moved so many more rocks.

>>2787305Lifting heavy stones while /out/ is based, instathot cairns are cringe because they're low-effort. Anon probably physique mogs you and your ultralight backpacker stick legs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Tcsg2Yac8
>>2787305>i don't go outsideand using the word cringe just means you are a pathetic woman who will die in the apocalypse, what? you want me to stop doing what i'm doing because of your immediate emotional impulse? i don't give a fuck what you think or feel, you can't tell me what to do because of some bullshit impulse you have, why should I give a shit what you feel? I don't care about your opinion, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want.>>2787315>Lifting heavy stones while /out/ is based>Anon probably physique mogs you and your ultralight backpacker stick legs.Facts. I'm very lean because hiking and physical work for hours every day just burns calories but these last few outings have just been major workouts, had noticeable effects on gains.For this part of the wall I had to dig down a LOT and move a huge pile of stones out the way, which is what I used to lever up the big one (with the swiss for scale). Some of the stones I moved into position here were easily 100kgs, they don't look it but that's because half of them are below ground, as this is the "staircase" out of the enclosure. so just for the stone sin this one photo I had to move maybe 1000kgs total of rocks and clay soil, then dig through rocky ground with a small entrenching tool, then move a few hundred kilos of rocks into position and that wasn't a one-time thing, took a few goes to find ones that fit and settled in properly.This is going to be a staple of every outing I can do it on now: work out with rocks on a mountain I have just climbed.Keep up the good lifting my nigger.
p.s. I planted the ferns amongst the rocks I placed, which I had dug up from other areas I was clearing, so their roots will grow around the stones and hold them in position. This was actually one of the most significant obstacles I faced, you can't move even a light rock if roots have grown around it, they hold it in place better than any mortar.
>>2787315>>2787320ruining the beauty of nature and damaging it just for stupid internet points and autistic projects is the highest level of CRINGE

>>2787347pic rel. as an interesting aside, no one can see or even get to my stone hut, it is in a very hidden inaccessible secret location, you can't even tell I've worked on it unless you get within 20 feet of the "back" - the angle I took the photos of the ditch. like, you can approach from the "front" and you can't even see anything unless you look right inside.>>2787348thanks grug, if the thread dies, I will make a new hut thread.
