I am building a raised shack shelter using natural materials. I make a bark roof using pine bark. I use an axe and saw to carve log cabin notches into the roof logs. The way I have built the structure means that it is completely self supporting. Although I have used bushcraft to make cordage from tree roots. The shelter is inspired by an old book called Shelters, Shacks and Shanties by D.C Beard. There is a link below to this book. I am trying to build the bushcraft camp shelter as close to the stilted shack shelter in Beard's book as I can. But I am adapting where possible. The log cabin notches help to keep the upright logs in place. I am not confident that the bark shingle roof is going to prevent water getting in, so I will soon add more debris to the top of it to make the shelter more waterproof. The camp has been built from entirely dead wood that I have used from my previously dismantled bushcraft camp in the woods. Thanks for joining me on the adventure! Part 3 will be out soon.

Certainly something different anyway! Having a blast ! Got a few different vids coming out before Part 3 of this shelter comes out.
good man 👍 keep em coming
love the vids bro. i’m almost done w my bushcraft series cuz of you!
A suggestion for the bark roofing, Using it like curved roofing tiles might work in sort of v^v^v^ type of a configuration lengthwise with the pitch of the roof with the down curve V overlapped with the up curve ^ .
A cooks palette knife would take it off easier
TA Outdoors could you put your gear and clothing in the description please
Love watching your videos when I was a kid I use to do the bush craft until I moved and then got married haven't had the time since I got married yet but I will as soon as I know my hubbys cancer is in remition 💖💖
I love this channel. These kind of channels always calm me down. After intense day of work this kinda makes me relax.
Your bark should go vertical rather than horizontal. Also make it one row upside down the other rite side up. This way you have hills and valleys and the water runs from the high to low then off the shelter. Almost like the terracotta roofs.
Nail on the head !
Gawin, I'd agree with you. Whether you're tiling roofs or thatching cottages and haystacks, you try not to create mini "dams" so water with the help of gravity can make the fastest descent. I was expecting another such layer on top of this one but nothing eventuated.
You are so right!! Turn those bark bits vertical, starting at the bottom and work your way up.....
Agreed, work with how the nature of water will flow. I like this channel a lot.
Gawin Grimm totally agree just need to look at how the Romans did it and they still do around the Mediterranean
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO MIKE (AND SHELTER) . I AM ALWAYS OUT IN THE BUSH BUILDING ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF SHELTERS (INCLUDING THE ONE YOU ARE MAKING NOW) . REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEO,S AND ENJOY EACH AND EVERYONE . WHAT YOU CALL WOOD LICE , WE CALL SLATERS IN AUSTRALIA .
I like it! Up off the ground is most appealing to me. That bark roof will serve well with bracken to seal and make it water proof. I think it will look very cool on the sides as well. Great stuff again Mike! Cheers.
Great vid and shelter Mike. Love those log cabin notches. They look so satisfying to make.
Your mallet sequence made me go dig out " thumper". We found each other when I was maybe 13. The crown of a hawthorn root with three " sprouts" from it. Cut two of them off and this was a true friend as I explored bushcraft in the early 70's way before this was a thing.
Damn ... this doesn't seem to want me to share a pic ...
Not bad as long as no heavy rain and wind. So much energy into something short term.
I've been following you and Haze outdoors for a few months now you are both completely different but really enjoyable to watch and so clearly passionate about the outdoors. Great vid 👍
It's looking good. Labour intensive and looking forward to the next installment
That notching is top notch 👍
I have this book myself and enjoyed the illustrations. Really enjoyed this video. Especially the specifics of notches and cordage. Good change from the bush camp!
This was a learning video for sure. Love when you test things out from books to see how they look in real life.
For TA Outdoors This Channel 😊 - Thanks Buddy
It is coming along wonderfully. I am eager to see what you do next.
Sweet! I like the idea man. Never seen one like that.
Here's another guy with sawing issues Mr O 😆😆😆
Putting a lot of work into that shelter. Keep going!
Really like the new direction your going in your videos Mike. Keep up the great work.👍👍
Great vids! Would recommend cutting the back end off the roof and notch the back like you did at the front. Would help prevent creatures from wanting to climb up a lean to and working there way through the roof then dropping down. As this is the idea of the shelter.
Interesting shelter build mike, good to see you testing yourself. 👍
Agreed
Looks good I'm getting some land thanking of a 15 foot round house with it going 5 feet into the ground making it from tires
This is such a cool shelter build! I love your channel Mike! It is full of informative yet fun content. Watching you build the huge Basecamp really inspired me to start a channel similar to yours. Obviously, I am not to your level yet but that takes time. Just wanted to let you know that by making these videos like you do inspires people such as myself to get outside and learn a thing or two.
Cheers man, good luck with your channel, hope it grows well!
@@TAOutdoors i appreciate it man!
With regard the bark, by placing it across the roof beams the curvature of the bark will have a tendency to drip water down through. Instead,think Spanish tile.
Start at the bottom and lay upside down bark in the grooves between the beams,then, sections of bark the right side up between the pieces you just laid down but overlapping them as much as possible.this approach along will help shed water down the roof pitch.
Just a thought!
You are such a huge inspiration to me and the reason i followed my dreams moved out into the woods.. Built a cabin and even atarted my own channel thank you sir!!! Great video
Awesome man! Glad to have inspired you
Gawin said it right for you but after I would put the bark on cover with the bracken to hold it all in place. Lastly place a couple more pole on top to hold it all together. On the front of the cross beam add to more pole opposing the roof to help support the uprights.
You could tie or brace a notched log across the roof where the sleeping area starts and then add the roofing material and you wouldn't need as much. Why cover the part not covering the sleeping area? I think the bark will help hold the bracken in place so a good idea.
That was a great shelter build. Another option for out in the woods. Look forward to part 3.
It's juste wonderful! I practice the Bushcraft from my forest in French and your are my inspiration!
(excuse my very bad English)
👌🏼👍🏼🔪🔥🏕️⚒️
Hey Mike, tip for when you're cutting short lengths of wood. Put your hachet into the top of the chopping log and vice the length between the hachet head and your foot or knee. Let me know if it helps mate.
Looks like fun! I've used that size bark like Spanish tiles. Looking good Mike
I think laying the bark with the poles up and down with an initial layer upside down (UUUU) and the next layer (nnnnnn) like Mediterranean roof tiles it would have afforded a bit more rain protection.
For more insulation id cover the bark with the moss or bracken
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this amazing video
당신의 기술력은 정말 상상을 초월하는 거 같다.
존경한다.
Looks great. Take a closer look at drawing. It looks like they have another support behind the platform that raises the roof a bit to give you more room on the platform.
Scrap the bark idea thing and cover with clay mud in cracks like chinking, great video and have fun camping.
Nice to see u back creating another camp/shelter great job!👍
You have raised your cinematic game, sir. Very appreciated. Well done.
Its looking good can't wait to see it on the next episode
Not going to lie, already in anticipation for the new super shelter, so bad 🙌🏻
Wonderful learning videos! Bamboo is a good resource where I live ( Hawaii ) to build raised beds and shelters. Thank you and safe travels!
You neeed your own Netflix series, the quality on this new lens is crisp!
Did he mention what lens it is? I noticed as well that it's very crisp, and also amazing contrast in what is normally not very well lit environment.
Netflix is liberal trash.
Liviu C he didn’t mention, I just noticed the quality jump a couple episodes ago! Super clean now
Katherine McChesney cool
Finally!! I've been waiting patiently. Lol. Enjoying the videos Mike, keep up the great work.
Can you watch the challenges in my channel, my friend?
Wow que interesante, me encantan estos videos de supervivencia y como puedes construir de la nada un refugio con solo herramientas basicas, te felicito eres muy habilidoso, saludos desde mexicali, mexico😜
I had some constructive criticism to offer, but when I gave it some thought, I realized that we just come at this from two different points of view. Therefore I will just admire your abilities from way over here in the land of those damn rebels!
Looking forward to the next ones.
Really enjoy the way your going with the channel Mike and I'm enjoying the mini series 👍 just worried that the wind or rain will come in sideways at you and you will get wet or cold or both with just the roof to protect you. As you know I really enjoy TA outdoors, please keep up the great work my friend 🍻🍺😁👍
love all your vids man. in my bushcraft series, one of my walls just fell down but i’m determined to make a shelter like you!
Had a great time watching and am looking forward to seeing Part 3! Thank you for sharing!
Im sorry it is not the best shelter I have seen you build. It is what it is. Might be too early for me to judge. Looking forward to see the finished product. Enjoyed wztching.You get a thumbs up for the video .
Yip.. its all about experimenting and enjoying what you do.
loving the building series mike! a very cool design on that shelter. have a great one!
Awesome structure! I was thinking it might be a good idea to try making wood shingles out of the wood around you. I feel like if you put some debris down and wood shingles layered on top it would make it much more waterproof
If only that bark came out in big pieces you would be golden. I think it depends on the type of tree and bark it produces. The shingle idea is a good one, since you can apply it verticaly or horizantaly. Good video! you can always layer on top of it as you said. When there is a wil, there is a way!
Make a bunch of pegs that are sharp-ended toothpick or matchstick size to attach the bark the poles. This is like the Japanese ancient temple roofs. Check out the repair of these type of roofs.
Certainly an interesting shelter I'll be interested to see how it fares in the rain with those large gaps
Very nice job Mike!!
You have to get out and about to enjoy it 👍 Can’t enjoy it from indoors #trialanderror .#natureisthebestmedicine .keep the vids coming Mike 👌
In the picture, I remember what that stuff for the roof and bedding is supposed to be. It is cat tail and rushes collected from the swampy wet lands.
@TAOutdoors would you consider doing a video on a camping episode without bushcraft? For the people into camping and who don't yet do bushcraft- stove, lighters etc. Would be a nice intro for people just starting out. A video with just cheaper gear as well would be an interesting one
I'm so behind on me awesome videos both fishing and outdoors, I feel like I'm letting the army down 😂 there's only one thing for it, a weekend full of awesomeness 💪🎣🏕️
John Deakin good man 💪🏻
make a gauge for your log cabin notches . Just like your pole to tell you how long you need your poles, the notch gauge tells you how wide and deep to cut them. While being small, light, and portable to where you cut the pole down.
@26:00 the roof material dilemma. Do you have clay? really dense peat? Put that down as the first layer to seal the gaps then heap on the debris. There is using the pine bark. Lay and layer with the outside down, then a layer with the outside up. These interlock and and shed water if you place them from the bottom up. The upper layer over lapping the one beneath. To harvest the bark, it's like beech bark; use your axe the cut vertical down the trunk then pop it off in two halves. That your tree is dead helps as the bark separates from the tree easily. A Slick is a tool for taking off bark. Looks like a chisel with a two, three, or four inch wide beveled blade.
To bad you do not have a froe, then you would make some one meter length shingles for one meter lengths of log.
@32:00. Use a come along. attach one end of the cable to the tree you need that is stuck and the other end to a firmly rooted tree. Use padding if the firmly rooted tree is still live. A few sticks will do, just so the cable doesn't dig into the live trees bark.
I'd try a clay tile method. Where you use the curved pieces alternating face up and down, following the poles upward instead of across them.
Good job. It is a very interesting shelter. Loved the video.
this is a fun vid to watch....those bugs...we called them pill bugs as kids :)
That seems like a lot of work and a lot of wood for the shelter you get. I notice that you do not have much of an understory from which to gather supple, small-diameter materials: one has to go with what is available. I felt the way you do about adding diagonal bracing for rigidity. This is meant to be a basic structure; more sophisticated joinery might come later in the book. It is great fun to watch this project come along.
Nice bit of work well done.
I’d move in there for the weekend - or three! Looking forward to the next one!
It maybe a little bit late, but happy new year.as I am always happily flicking around the TH-cam pages, quite a few unexpected sites take my fancy.😂 TH-cam channel's are the new way to watch television.😉😃
cant wait to see all finish
Ta bushcraft lego town great job mike🍀
smaller staight twigs / branches wrapped in brakken to help spand the gaps then topped off in more brakken to cover the top , and possible same twig / branch wrapped in brakken for the sides staight up and down ..... just a thought
Amazing Job. Great way to start the year with this shelter. I’ll try to build one using the most xmass trees from mexico city and upload my progress amigo.
Can't wait to see the finished project.
Nice catch, Mike!!!
i hope my bushcraft series will be half of what yours is!
Still watching but..
On the roof top of go either
Brakken then bark or vice versa
Use both I'd go with brakken 1st to cushion the bark while insinuating like a real home theory
And harvesting the bark with ease ? I haven't tried it yet but
Maybe like a wire saw or maybe even rope ... Around the tree under the bark and slide/scoot up or down until you get the size chunk of bark desired or it falls off lol
Hope that helps Mike
Another great video love it
Boughs would be good for the sides , weave them together
cool looking so far
Everytime I see your videos I wish I could jump in with a power tool and help you out! LOL
Looks awesome man. Thanks for making these great videos!!
Good job. Pretty cool shack.
Shelter is looking cool Mike. Really enjoying the videos on it 👍🏻
Cheers buddy
Jaxx is most probably an expert in bark(ing...)
Great build mike .
Catch and cook the best
Bark shingle roof, nice :)
Looking good brother, it’ll definitely work for sure.
It's elegant. Unproven . . . but elegant!
It's gonna look spectacular!
best thing is to do the own camping I love simple life
Cool Shelter!!!
“An absolute unit”
Another good vid Mike. very informative n interesting. more please:-)
27:36 that little dog is a nice detail to add to camp.
Been waiting so long for this Mike thx when u doing a camp with Dustin mate great vid love it cheers mac
Soon !!
Love your channel, keep up the good work!!
I hear that Jaxx is quite the bark expert ya’know..
Brilliant work Mike lad keep these up dude
2 ideas for bracken roof. First, somehow weave it to form a tighter, more rain-resistant “material”. Second, bundle it like bundles of thatch (using “rope” of bracken to tie bundle), then put a row of closely placed thatch bundles across bottom and the second or next row up would overlap first row by 50%, etc, etc. Might be tons of work....so maybe not practical.
You should learn thatching, that would be really cool on a shelter.
I really like the videos and really don't like the ads.
Use an Add blocker then, some are free if you search on the internet ha ha.
Mike secretly wants to build a full-size log cabin in the woods, he’s a cabinaholic, and just can’t admit it. LmAO.
