In this outdoor adventure, I'm building an A-frame shelter in a wild northern forest on a shady hillside. From the water, I moved deeper into the forest so that there would not be many mosquitoes. In construction I use only hand tools: Silky Bigboy folding saw, adze, axe, 16 and 22 auger drills, Marttiini AAPA knife, WorkPro folding shovel. I use only fallen dead trees in construction. The foundation - are large stones and logs. Under the floor he pulled a membrane fabric. I did not come up with a natural material that can replace it. Any ideas? I fasten everything with wooden dowels. I make the roof waterproof, cover it with birch bark and turf. The place from which I took the turf was sown with grass and oat seeds so that there would be no traces left and perhaps the boars would eat oats. The roof was also sown with grass seeds to strengthen the turf. By the way, a burning kerosene lamp added heat quite well inside the shelter, it was much cooler outside. In the next adventures I want to remake the fireplace, make it safer and make a stone oven next to the shelter. Adding wooden fences around the camp (many wild boars and elks walk around). Make a table and a chair, make storage for firewood under the floor. Maybe I'll try to make doors-sashes. If you have any ideas what else can be added / improved - write in the comments :) Thanks for watching!
