I built a stone and wood survival bushcraft shelter deep in a wild forest - FULL VIDEO

- In this video, I embark on a solo journey to build a stone and wood survival bushcraft shelter in a beautiful forest. First, it took me a while to find out the location where I was to build the shelter. The location was great as there were tall trees, running water, plenty of wood for fire, and moreover, stones to build the hut. I set up my camp among the trees and started planning how to carry out my project.
There was a seasonal creek a short distance away. It had brought down boulders because of flash floods and scattered them along its course. However, the boulders were worn smooth and eroded, and they didn't work the way I expected. The biggest challenge was collecting the stones from the creek and nearby places. It took me a great deal of time; it was time consuming and labour-intensive. Luckily, there were cut out logs not far off; I made my mind to make use of them in the hut to minimize the use of stones. I rolled down as much as I could and erected them in the walls.
The soil was alluvial and lacked adhesiveness. It was a real problem. What’s more, there was a tree-dwelling squirrel which not only walked away with my food-stuffs from time to time but also disturbed my sleep in the night. Typically feeding on nuts and seeds, it had sensed edibles down in my camp and couldn't resist. Whenever I would go to collect stones or bring logs, I would have been apprehensive about it.
Once the walls were completed, I cut logs from fallen trees and then put the roof on the shelter. I used pebbles to cover the small gaps between logs; mortared them and then spread dried leaves of pine on it. Next, I put a tarpaulin and covered it with leaves of spruce tree. After that, I put mud on the leaves and gave the shelter a flat surface.
Meanwhile, the weather turned bad and it began to snow. I made a door for the shelter in haste; it wasn't perfect and substantial, I think. While I was still working on the door, a snowstorm hit out of nowhere. A seemingly unending stream of snowfalls started and disrupted my work. I was to make some necessary works inside the shelter. Meanwhile, the storm intensified.
Moreover, I was running low on food stuffs because some of it had been stolen by squirrels. So I reached a decision to leave.

Thank you for not playing music, natural sounds are the best
This guy deserves a SPECIAL AWARD for his Stone House.
❤😢
Why?
He gets a thumbs up from me 👍
Stone retains heat and insulates. Thumbs up from me.
Debarking, he forgot, keeps the wood from rotting and bugs. Nice thick walls, with small fire should keep him nice and warm during the winter months.
Fireplace was there but I couldn’t show it properly in the video.
@@thinkwildernessBeautiful work, love the rocks ❤🎉
@@thinkwilderness Final shot should have been from a distance with smoke coming from the chimney.
Hot DANG. That is not a shelter. That is a bunker. It is extremely well constructed. While watching I was trying to think of ways to ease the carrying of tools, stone, and timber. Still made my back hurt. If I were only 50 or even 40 years younger. ............. Good job.
Фундамент хороший залил широкий можно со временем второй этаж возвести запросто❤❤❤❤❤
You did a great job on your stone - wood cabin! You're an amazing person! God bless you! Cheers!
Thanks, you too!
Incredible. This house will still be standing 2 or 300 years from now. Very nice build!
Some people suck. 😢. I know how it feels. ❤. We need time to be alone and repair our shattered hearts 🥰
I can now say that I've watched Superman build a stone and log house. I don't know how you found the energy, but the build is just incredible. Amazing job!
Thanks for watching.
Hi from Montreal, it's incredible how much work and courage, not counting energy it took to build your cabin. GREAT WORK and VIDEO, My wife Louise and I enjoy nature, and we passed years of our lives camping. Louise recently passed away.,but the memories remain. I miss her so much. Enjoy your life and stay healthy. Take care. Signed Jim. 🏚
Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, building stone shelter isn’t easy and requires a lot of work and patience. RIP Louise! She would have been a good partner to you.
Thank you, great construction and videography!
Glad you enjoyed it!
2:21 Crazy how pounding that stake shook the camera so much. Even dropping rocks down shakes it.
It's great to see you being honest and showing where you live whilst building ..
Não deu tempo nem de curtir, e foi embora 😮ficou ótimo 👍 🇧🇷
Yeah, I left because of a snowstorm that hit out of nowhere. Moreover, I was running low on food stuffs. Most of it had been stolen by squirrels.
❤🎉
Крутой , каменный домик. Очень много работы
이제껏 본 영상 중, 돌 집. 최고
❤🎉
i would have loved to see how he got that log upright
I was thinking same thing. Sure it wasn't easy being by himself
❤🎉
I guess he can’t give you all the secrets😂
男人都能吊.週邊有大樹:瞧瞧板桿原理
With effort and other logs ...duh!
Nice work, although there are loads of vertical joints. Meaning there is zero strength in the structure. You should have read up on dry stone walking or wall building with stone in general. A hammer and a few chisels and this could have been impressive. The time this must have taken you I'd love for it to be done properly. For you to enjoy it for many many years. This building could have stood a long time. This will last a few years at most. The logs should have been charged in a fire as well to help prevent the moisture eroding the wood.
Without a fireplace is not quite survival in winter
Fireplace is there but I couldn’t show it properly in the video.
❤🎉
Your work is just so wonderful 🎉
Thanks for your input.
❤😢
такой домик что бы зимой прогреть надо неделю кочегарить)
You are a strong guy nice job
Greetings from Argentina! I loved how the shelter turned out. The only thing missing to add the final touch to the video a was a dinner and sleeping inside the shelter. Aside from that, excellent job.
I feel the same way but bad weather prompted me to leave early. There was a snowstorm. Moreover, I was running low on food stuffs because most of it had been stolen by squirrels. Anyway, thanks for watching.
This isn't survival, this is TH-cam building
Amazing combination of wood and stone, very impressed by the sheer amount of work. Very satisfying result!
Best regards from Germany
Thanks for your visit and input.
Wow. It's so amazing the way you are building a stone cabin. Watching from USA, NEW JERSEY.
Hello everyone
❤😢
Obrigado pelos seus ensinamentos construir uma bela casa
Show! Foi usado troncos das árvores já caídas. Isso é ótimo para o Meio Ambiente! Parabéns! Preservar as árvore nativas, é essencial! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is a real survival shelter , not those cabins made out of twigs. Good job sir.
My son and I are going to hit our local mountains here soon to find our spot for a little cabin. Just not sure if it will be free standing, or dug into the side of a hill/ mountain or just a Fallin tree. But should be fun and experience for my son. Creating something from what nature left laying around for you.
Wish you both best of luck 🍀
❤🎉
Where is this? what did you do in the roof? rain water will come in for sure :P
I’ll have to second this. Originally, I planned to have a slope roof but because of snowstorm and vicious weather, I turned to flat roof and left. I didn’t want to be trapped in the snow for long stretches without food stuffs.
❤😮
初.步時日.平衡地表在加.',
Yep he's working hard
❤😮
the shelter is very sturdy, I like it
❤🎉
Why did you leave the bark on the logs? Log cabin building 101- REMOVE THE BARK….
Probly to tired at this point to worry bout the bark
WOW, that is quite the accomplishment, WELL DONE…from USA, east Tennessee.
Thank you for your feedback.
Super travail, efficace, esthétique, fonctionnel... félicitations 👍🏻
Thanks
❤🎉
Great watching amazing building skills
Thank you! Cheers!
❤🎉
good video but a of bull
Has no one said it yet??? Fine, I WILL!!... So, this is how Minecraft's played IRL.
Was this stone walled cabin very warm in the sun? I was in a stone walled house once and it was as cold as a refrigerator. It was a big house and took a long time to warm up. A hole month to be exact with gas heaters. I think those was were 3 feet thick walls made of stone.
Looks like the door hinge pins should be on the inside for security, but you aren't worried about that anyway. You could just cover them up with some 1 by 1. Oh the door opens outward, so you can't do that... Great job on creating a cabin though. It seems nice for a survival place...
Think Wilderness that is a great name for a bushcraft survivalist adventure youtube channel.
I am glad i came across your channel.

❤❤❤Hello, what a beautiful cottage you made
Thank you! 😊
❤🎉
A perfect and warm shelter.
Fantastic 😊. Armchair critic here: I would've made the door a lot heavier, against bears and cats 😬.
That's a great idea!
Я тоже сама с мужем построила домик из кирпича и самана .также вначале фундамент сделали потом стены потом крыша и отделки двериокнаи.т.д.
Im from the Philippines... Nice video and good job 👍
This was incredible to watch!!!!!
Каменное решето с дырявыми дверью, крышей и без печки. Да еще вся древесина с корой. Столько труда, чтобы построить дырявый холодильник?!
Je vous regarde depuis la France. Très beau travail 👍😉
This guy is playing Rust in real life
Exellent built. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you! Cheers!
That's amazing, how can he alone make such a beautiful house?
Good luck 🎉
torching the wood after debarking also...
Very good job
Outstanding Job . !
That thing is badass!
Me gustó mucho tu video crack ❤ seguí a si saludos desde Argentina

Công trình này rất đẹp.
You are an absolute talented person. GREAT JOB ON YOUR BUILDING. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks for your visit and appreciation.
❤🎉
Very cool cabin!!!
I love the build, but I would be careful of the roof..
It could collapse if too much weight is applied, such a snowload.
Blessings to you ✊
Какой молодец взял и построил домик из еамня❤
Thanks for your input.
I love this video's I had learn so much, thank you all for uploading and sharing, I just subscreibed
Thanks for subbing!
I bet you is going to get a reward
❤🎉
Love you ❤❤❤
Bom dia falo do Brasil bom trabalho
❤🎉
Hello from Nigeria. Great Job there
Hey, thanks!
Great❤❤❤
❤🎉
I am exhausted just watching this guy doing all this heavy lifting and mixing dirt as cement to hold all those small and large stones together. It looks like it's going to be a great looking shelter when it's finished
Thanks for the view
Good for you
Bro built my Minecraft starter house IRL
you are very good
AWESOME!
USA. What a monumental undertaking. How long did it take? Good job!!!!!!
Thanks for your input. It took me almost two months before the weather turned bad and I left.
النهاية مرعبة😢😅😅😅
oh very good
great video...breat cabin...from usa
Thanks 👍
Looks good, can someone tell me the purpose of upright logs in the walls.
Please show us more of the inside of the house
Bad weather and snowstorm prompted me to leave early, and I couldn’t film inside of my stone shelter properly.
All those rocks around the cabin, take a guess where they came from.🥺
If you closely watch the video, you’ll notice a creek that’s brought down all those rocks. It occasionally gets flooded in the summer and brings down logs, debris and other objects.
@@thinkwilderness EXACTLY! And now try to think one step further.....Is it ringing a bell?
Excellent,,, amazing
how do you cut those big tree ! How do you put them vertical !
Great upload! I really enjoyed your content.
Just something I’d prefer:
Please remove your ‘think wilderness’ tag from the video. Your content speaks for itself. If, however, you feel it must be there, please lower the opacity and put it in one of the bottom corners of the screen.
Otherwise, great work!
I wouldn’t have added that to my videos had people not stolen my content. They blatantly steal my videos and upload to their channel without my prior consent. Some even add their logos to my videos and give an impression to their audience that it’s their creation. I have given copyright strikes to some of the offenders but so far I’m unable to find out a viable solution for this issue. Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

Dang!!!! Sorry to hear that!
California, USA. It looks like the Sierra Nevada
Unless you own the land, you should not build anything and leave it there...

😳and I thought I had a lot of rocks on my property. How long did this build take you ? New subscriber
Thank you for sub. This build took me almost two months.
Desde Colombia , que tiempo durastes realizando la cabaña y si te ayudaron por que tu solo no pudistes con esos troncos
People who live in the city and be unfit, will last 5 minutes when digging
Немам коментар освен да ти кажам дека одлична работа заврши Браво секоја чест. Но имам едно прашање: Како ги подигна тие толку тешки и големи дрвени столбови?.. Поздрав од Македонија 🙂👌
He work so hard for this shelter but he makes a horrible door which is not safe and strong enough.
So where was this built? just the general area and forest.. thanks!
You must don't get tired
❤🎉
This is the first primitive home I've seen using large logs like you have. I've seen large logs where they've basically have broken them down into planks to use but never seen anybody stand them up and use them the way. You are very interesting.
❤🎉
