Bumping this to talk about bushcraft shelters, seriously dont remember the last time I had such a bad outdoors jones
Been studying up on the different kinds of permanent shelters you can make with nothing more than a tarp or two and some wood, because God as my witness I am going to build one along the Illinois river on public land as a private getaway/fishing shack
Been wanting to do this for yeeears, but am finally motivated enough to go scout possible locations soon
I've settled on whats known as the Mors Kochanski super shelter, and while I've watched several other clips on building one, I chose this really badass chicks version to show how solidly built they are/can be
Mine will have a fire reflector of logs, but not a full wall... too much work
Also notice the clear plastic sheeting and mylar blanket reflectors on the interior roof... that clear plastic easily lets heat from the fire pass through, and the mylar directs it downward onto you
Anyone here have experience with this sort of thing?
