Dear site visitors, this article will present to your attention the technology of building a forest shelter for a long stay
do it yourself. For people involved in extreme tourism, the material presented will be very useful. Once in a difficult extreme situation, the question arises of creating and building a safe and reliable shelter. Here the author presented the experience of his hiking trips to survival.
And so consider what the tourists needed to build this facility.
Materials1) hazel branches
2) hazel trunks
3) ash trunk
4) clay
5) fallen leaves
6) fern fox
7) moss
8) wooden pegs
Instruments1) shovel
2) ax
3) hand drill
4) a wedge from a hazel
5) knife
As mentioned above, the author presented for review and for training novice survivor tourists. The first thing you need to do after hitting an extreme situation while being far from the civilized world, for example getting lost in a remote taiga or forest, you need to immediately proceed to
building housing.
It is necessary to start building and finish building during the day, so that tourists have a strong and durable shelter for an overnight stay, with a gable reliable roof for protection from atmospheric precipitation, as well as a fully enclosed type, that is, with full walls and a door or at least a canopy.
This measure is necessary to protect people in the shelter from small and large forest animals, ideally, it is even better to build a fence from pointed stakes and rods if there is enough time for this.
And so, starting directly to the construction, the author first clears the place for the future structure, and also removes part of the turf because all kinds of insects that are undesirable for living together are found in the upper soil layer.
Then the author prepares stakes for the walls of the building.
You can also prepare boards in a very simple and effective way, namely, following the example of a wizard, take a medium-sized tree trunk and split it first into 2 equal parts, and then into several more.
If you suddenly didn’t have an ax or knife with you to sharpen the stakes, you can do this as follows put the ends of the sticks in a fire and they will take the shape you need, and another plus of this method the stakes will be less susceptible to decay due to coal formed on the surface, As you know, coal fights all kinds of bacteria well.
For a bundle of construction, the guys use thin, liquid rods of hazel.
As you can see, these rods are very suitable for knitting.
A frame is assembled from hazel trunks and connected together in a similar way.
Here's what the author did.
Next, the guys harvest long hazel rods for making walls by weaving.
Then, prepared stakes are driven into the ground.
And the weaving of the wall begins, the principle is the same as weaving the basket.
Step by step, and now the result is already visible.
The frame turned out to be gable.
Further, the author prepares the boards, and he does it as follows, takes a medium-sized tree trunk and splits it in the middle into 2 equal parts, and then into several more.
As a result, these are such boards.
From the resulting board, the master will make the door.
He makes the base of the door, as you understand, there are no nails in the forest and the author makes the fastening as follows, drills a hole in the workpieces with a hand drill, and a wooden chopped car driven into the hole will serve as a nail.
For fixing, wedges are hammered.
This method does all the work.
And it turns out here is such a door.
And the resulting door is installed in the doorway.
Pay special attention that the door is installed without any hinges, this ancient grandfather's method is called (dovetail), that is, 2 holes were drilled in the jamb at the top and bottom, and the door has a pointed pole that is inserted into the holes.
And in this way, the door is fastened and perfectly opens and closes.
In the roof frame, the author made such a window for the exit of smoke.
Then the entire surface of the roof is laid with thin branches.
On top of the branches, another layer of fallen leaves is laid.
Then, another layer of fern leaves is laid on top of the leafy cap, the author begins laying strictly from the bottom up, this is necessary for better outflow of water with heavy rain.
This is how the shelter looks indoors.
Further, the author looked at the front door, decided to complete the front wall and strengthen it
And so, with the help of clay, the author strengthens and insulates the wall.
That's actually done do-it-yourself shelter for a long stay. On the advice of the author, if you are hopelessly lost in the forest, then do not give in to panic once, but begin to set up camp, build a house, make fire, you will certainly find the main thing save energy and energy
This concludes my tale, I hope you enjoyed it :) Thank you for your attention! Come visit more often, do not miss the latest in the world of homemade products.
