Can't decide what's more valuable--the shelter, or the dog that vigilantly guarded you while you built it. Love them both.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a Dustin. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a Dustin-hole, and that means comfort..."

Looked a great location and by using the natural dip you also gain from natural protection from the wind and elements. Enjoyed the sounds of nature in the woods to. Looks like a cosy place to spend a night or two as you say and liked the teaser at the end. Enjoy your overnighter with Amber and the wilderness. Cheers Dustin.

What beautiful thick mats of moss. A beautiful hand built (without tools) shelter. A 3 day campout with the woodstove would be wonderful. ❤

IDEA: I take it ou have a GoPro? For some amusing scenes to go in your wonderful episodes, could you attach a GoPro to Amber's collar, as a "neck cam", and see what she gets upto on some of her missions around the forests, with and without Jacks? I think it could be quite fun! Keep the brilliant stuff coming, I've taken a lot of tips and inspiration from you and your compadre (Mike)...

The most important step was to bring doggo for moral support.

A tarp then maybe moss on top you did good

Great channel, love your precious pup. She is so sweet. In the other episode she picked up a stick for your to toss for her up you didn't see her. Please toss a twig for her to fetch she also dug up a root like you did. What a smart dog she is💞

LIKE the plan for next time. This shelter should hold up for some time if the moss was added to and renewed as needed. A few years ago, Carlisle 195 and his RAF buddy, Andy, built a similar frame, tarped it over to deal with rain and snow and then mossed it for insulation. They got a good bit of use out of it until it was burned down. Thanks for demonstrating how to make a LOT OF SHELTER with just some exceptionally fine local resources and ones hands.

I guess it takes much longer when you have to walk to a location near a tree branch, set up the camera, then walk away, then walk back to pick up the branch while on camera, then walk away with the branch, then walk back to pick up the camera to put it in a new location. ... Edit.. And it's amazing you did it all in 17 minutes.

Same premise, love the shelter, how to make that a perminant water proofed shelter

Perfect lockdown getaway, Samwise Gamgee! ✌️🙂

Wonderful to watch this build and looking forward to seeing more camps out in this hobbit house. A huge thankyou also for dropping by my livestream today, it's much appreciated. ❤

Been following you for sometime, and you've really stepped up your videos over the last several months - very noticeable. Using that natural depression was a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing great content and Amber is sweet dog. Happy New Year mate!

There's that Good Girl ! It's always a treat to see Amber making her entrance and checkin' on things. Good shelter there Dustin, so many ways to head with this one, an internal ridge line and a survival tarp strung/staked inside, the small fire near the entrance (or wood stove), and you're warm/dry and smoothin' it. Not to mention any one of those great meals you whip up over an open flame. Mike'll be showing up with a hungry look on his mug.

Super!!!!!

Wow, what an awesome endeavor! You guys never cease to amaze me. The opening reminds me of Dave Canterbury's spider shelter. If you maybe seal off the top half of the opening with a light lattice, with the slope of that ridgepole I bet you could build a Dakota firepit right inside the entrance while trapping most of the heat inside. But the slope of that floor means that you'll have to sleep with your head pointing towards the back, which would make it really inconvenient to feed the fire. Tell me something though, what else can you do to make that shelter really waterproof? More moss, or maybe a foot or so of pine needles? It seems a shame to have such a well built shelter and not be able to use it in rainy weather

hello there sir, I really Love the real nice job that you did on you're shelter in the woods and I thank you for giving me a great idea to try myself ok. 👍💯💖

Fun as always. Hope the overnight is fun.

So cool!

Nice job! Just goes to show that even a fairly simple temporary shelter is a lot of work. Looking forward to your next video.

Awesome! I thought the structure would be a major non-stealth but wow it really does blend in with all that moss. Great job, sir!

Amazing

The amount of moss growing on these logs 😯

Nice to watch and recap really enjoying watching

Brilliant site selection, design, and cordage free construction.

looks rad! I like it a lot

Nothing more in the world I would like to do right now than building some structures like this in the woods and just sit at night with a fire and a few drinks and just be....I grew up in the woods pretty much well alot off time real camping no caravans so its home to me...hope I get back one day cheers for vid

I have built a few of them and know how long it takes to gather all the materials, great video looking forward to the next one.

When you build a camp do you leave it in position when you leave? I appreciate the ‘leave no trace’ but as long as no rubbish is left it could be utilised by others

I really like the shelter you made! I have seen Alot of these type shelters but I really like the size and shape of yours. You could throw A tarp or 2 over it for when it rains!

Oops meant your talent shows no bounds. Brilliant once again.

... greetings from Delaware county Pennsylvania USA, Happy New year's Dustin and of course Amber.... Was very excited to hear that notification bell ring and see that it was a bushcraft tools video.... Awesome job on the shelter sharing the little tidbits of knowledge and information this has been an awesome way to get through all of the lockdowns and a nice escape from the turmoil that is plaguing so many of our countries... I recently saw one of Mike's from TA outdoors videos and asked him if you and he were getting ready to collaborate on anything and he said you were hoping to get together and maybe do an overnighter and post the video.... I enjoy watching Mike's videos and enjoy watching your videos but I really enjoy watching you and Mike together in a video especially your first video where Amber was absolutely torturing Mike hahaha, I really got to kick out of that.... As I expressed to Mike I really enjoyed watching the Viking and roundhouse and Saxon House build you guys did and was wondering if you had any big plans similar to that for this new year 2021.... Please keep them coming.... And I agree with the comment about your videos they really have come a long way since you first started and you are doing a terrific job.... And whether you want to think it or not you really are making a difference in and touching other people's lives..... Keep it up my friend.... And if it were possible to come to the UK I so would just to hang out with you and Mike for a few nights... Be well Dustin can't wait to see the next videos

What a massive job of collecting materials! Must have take some time. A hole in the ground thou, specially on a slop will collect water. Wouldn't it be better between two trees?

It looks so easy in the vid and I try it and I’m struggling any tips🤔🤔😂😂😂

Dustin, would like to see you drinking a nice single malt in the shelter near by the fire!! Greetings from saxony, Jens

Hello and happy new year, love this idea of the shelter being low profile as its in a natural ditch/hole. My only question is, is there any worry of water collecting where the shelters been built or is the forest floor absorbing the rain fall? Either way sweet build
