Building a Bushcraft Fort in the Woods: Start to Finish (time-lapse)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2020
- Hey guys! This was video was so fun! I honestly have wanted to build something like this bushcraft fort ever since I was a kid, but when I was younger I just felt so overwhelmed with not knowing where to start, and not having tools (like a sharp a** hatchet). I'm not a bushcraft expert by any means, but now that I'm an adult it feels so good to just be able to mess around in the woods and build life size fairy houses haha. Go easy on me, I know there's a lot of professionals out there who make this stuff for a living - this is my first attempt!
This is meant more as a calm environment shelter - I wouldn't plan on camping in it during a storm. I'd have a lot more work to do on the walls and roof to do that without involving a tarp of some sorts.

How do you make money? I sell clothes on Depop (link above), and get ad revenue from TH-cam! I also have a video on ways I've made money in the past; bit.ly/3d1451P
There seems to be a lot of people who have never seen this channel before commenting on this video. She’s a very crafty youtuber and is doing this for fun. I don’t think she cares if the river floods and takes it away as she doesn’t plan to live in it 🙂
Thank you ♥️ you get it 😉
cut to a year later when she DIY's a skating rink for fun. Still great content!
Exactly, and at least she not sitting on her butt doing nothing. She likes to be creative and do things to say she has. Something different.
Indeed it was fun for her and I' to watch her build it.
thanks for swinging by everyone ♡♡
hope you're all finding ways to stay busy and happy during the shut downs (:
ALSO - sorry no giveaway on this video....the next video will definitely have one ♥️
Where in WI?
All I want to say is please, be careful. I've learned a lesson a long time ago, and that was never jump on logs to break them. A sprained ankle is a bitch when you're deep in the woods. Always use the tools you've brought with you to do the job you're trying to shortcut. Otherwise, this was an enjoyable video. I've now subbed to this channel. Thanks for the entertainment.
Morakniv Nr1 👍
👍👍 Fab idea and build out. . . 'alas' pllllllllease though don't jump on logs like that
when 'alone' and also wear some sort of eye safety wear.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Lord-Jesus-Christ com
My friends and I made something like this when we were around 11 years old. It was great until some older kids smashed it all for no reason. Building it is one of my special childhood memories. We didn't use any cords and our corner posts were living trees. We also built an 'obstacle course' that began and ended near the fort. Thanks for reminding me of my youth.
Same here... Kids who did not know how to build anything... ENVIOUS!
Whenever we have family outings, we often go to the woods and do a lot of activities and what I enjoyed the most is bushcrafts making competition and paintball (it was brutal) lol
I am moving out of my apartment into a house with an actual backyard with trees in just a few weeks! I would LOVE to build a cute little fort like this in the backyard omg thank you for the inspiration. You are awesome!
I'm jealous
Hannah, is there anything you can’t do? It’s so beautiful. Thank you so much for everything you do.
I can only imagine the sense of accomplishment... Literally, I can only imagine because I can't do this at all.
OMGosh, girl, that's fabulous!! Good for you.. you checked off a childhood dream and built a cool-ass place to be you!! I absolutely love your determination, as this obviously took several days or more. It was actually quite calming for me as a viewer, I hope the process was as fun and as therapeutic as it looks. Great job, Hannah!!
This brought back memories of being a kid in the woods
I love this
13, planning to try building a den and making my teenage years with my friends, a one with nature and beautiful storys to tell and look back on.
This was peaceful AF to watch. It reminded me of those dudes that dig random homes out of the earth is some random Asian country.
f0t0b0y “random” ....to you
Primitive boys.
errr no
No Names errr yes
All their names have survival in it
This was amazing!!!!
Hi there I love your vids a lot!
@Weylie Hoang you are
Not really, she has a nice bed but a shelter that'll leak like a sieve

pretty girl, calm lofi, nature, lengthy video... she really knows how to make us chill
Yes! We love more female bushcrafters! I'm a woman and I want so badly to go bushcrafting. Hope I can be like you someday ❤️
Make it a point to try and get out and try it.
Stay strapped
What about male bushcrafters?
honestly this is not at all what I was expecting but this is incredible. it looks like all my childhood dreams come true
The cool thing about projects like this, " by the way it came out fantastic " is that you don't have to shop at Home Depot for lumber.
What a magical little sanctuary! I felt like I was watching my 10 year old self build forts again. Thanks for the video!!! :)
My brother and I used to build forts in the woods back in the 80s, but, never could we get a girl to come out and see it let alone build it! Way cool Hanna way cool.
i just found your channel and i genuinely think you might be the coolest person I've ever found on youtube. this is sick, awesome job
Lol when she was jumping on the branch that made me think of when I was ten and we had best had a tree cut down in our yard
I idiot self put a massive piece of bark in the middle of 2 logs and jumped on it I jumped in the middle it snapped and folded hitting both sides of my head giving me a minor cuncussion
Pardon me for laughing historically
I wish there was a videi of that 😂
Oh no :-D
Your story made me think of something my great uncle who lived in the Canadian bush told me. "NEVER chop anything you can saw." Where he lived the nearest hospital was 3 hours away.
Profile pic checks out
@@boludoconcamara9298 low blow man... Low blow
Five sets of clothing. This one took a while. I like the multiple doors.
You just seem so happy out in the woods. Me too. Vanlife is awesome.
Watching you connect with the land like that was so inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you for the video ! So peaceful ! All i could think was « it must smell so good!! » with all that pine !
Oh, this is wonderful! Pretending I am not currently isolated in my Brooklyn studio apartment with no surrounding greenery ♥️
You make the best content and are extremely inspiring!
im stuck in my condo and cant get out bcoz of lockdown and now I see this 😄 anything about nature is my stress reliever
This whole video reminded me of playing the SIMS and watching them fulfill their tasks at double speed!! So cool!!
Omg you are my childhood kindred spirit! I make clothes, used to build forts, play in the woods by my parents house....now I’m a nail artist! Always creating things! I love this! Makes me want to more arty and outdoors stuff again. I’ve just bought myself a bike once more and the temptation to clip a card to the wheel/spikes is too much!!! I used to do this as a kid to make it sound like a motor bike and ride it for hours!! Lol 😂 beautiful video to wake up to this morning darling xxxx Thank you and I hope your fractured finger heals well xxxxxx
Nothing but respect! Love the initial design vision and the execution. Honestly...very impressive!
This is so soothing and relaxing I love it
Love the lofi music in the background, it makes this all so calm 🌲
A lot of commenters are so judgemental missing the point completely.
She was giving the basic points of how to build a shelter with very few tools.
This leaves you to pick up great ideas to enhance your own basic structure in any place you wish for that emergency survival and hideout when the SHTF. No Money needed !
Adding a strong tarpaulin over the carcass of structure then creating a second structure over to add the leaves camouflaging the tarpaulin.
To keep the draught out from the bottom....surround the outside of the base with stones one foot high filling gaps with moss and leaves.
The bed base is fantastic !
She has given me so much ideas.
Thank you so much for video.
We may all be living like this soon as the World is in a mess and so is the Economy which will crash very soon.
God Bless 🙏🏴
I’m pretty sure you aced scout girl camp. Other members starring at you
This is, by far, the best thing I have ever seen get made 🙌🏼
Great job and looks like a labor of love. Pretty spot along the creek in the woods and you make a cool little vacation house for your self. Thanks for the video.
I’ve only been watching for a day and I love how u just do this for fun on ur part even tho u have a van abs live in it it’s amazing to show what skills u have thank you beaut💕
Thats awesome! Reminds me when I was young, roughly 20 years ago, building forts in the woods behind our house :)
Loooooooove this, dreamy and wild and well deserved after all the hard work. Thanks for this!
Hi Hannah, just wanted to say I take so much peace and happiness from watching ur vids, thank u for them😌😌
This is one of the most creative things I’ve ever seen!
Miss Duggan, I normally don't say much of anything about what I'm going to share, but in this instance I'm going to take candor. Seeing any woman, especially a YOUNG woman, do this kind of natural work on her lonesome is incredibly heartening, especially when given the modern state of many young Millenials in this day-and-age. They would be far too concerned about getting filthy and having a 'negative impact' on their physical person (i.e. "There is NO way in fuckin' hell I'm going out and fuckin' around in some nasty-ass woods," and even that passage is being contrite with the young people of your age group), and to see you take such endearment and create something from your surroundings using no more than an axe and some string and the sheer intelligence given to us, all I can do is tip my hat to you. And in respect, your Significant Other is quite fortunate to have such a woman as yourself, especially one with your mindset (which is unfortunately considered quite alien in present-day outlook). Thank you for sharing this current adventure with us, and I look forward to seeing more of your continuing growth in the near-future. :D
David Sullivan WOW!
David, thank you for your kind words! That kind of message always has a way of lighting up my day.
I feel like you might be discrediting a lot of people out there though! One thing I’ve learned from growing this channel is exactly how many people there are out there who have the fire in them to go out into the world and grab it by the horns. Some people just need a little push, or some inspiration, or some words of encouragement 😉 don’t forget to spread your kindness to those people too - you never know who they might become 😊♥️
This is AWESOME!! It seems you really enjoy creating things from scratch (i.e. creating clothes, building things for your apartment, building your van, now this!). I love it.
I think I just love seeing what I can get away with attempting 😂
hannahleeduggan lol! Well I’m always impressed 🙂
This is amazing! Your content pays homage to how incredibly, evidently creative you are; you're overflowing with hands-on (and internal) artistry! What a natural, artistic soul you have!
A great job! And, thanks for time-lapsing it. It saved time, while allowing us to observe every step of the building process. Now I wait to see you using the fort, say to stay overnight there, enjoying the fruits of your labour...
Girl, your creativity and experiences know no bounds. Love this... was so relaxing to watch while stuck in my apartment.❤️
Thank you so much for this video Hannah
Awesome job, certainly something for dry and calm weather. If it starts raining, you'll get an extra day of dripping on you with a flat roof. And too close to the creek, there's always a temperature-drop - great on hot summer days, but a pain in the a** any time else.
Stay safe and have fun.
This is absolutely amazing. made my morning watching this video
This was so calming to watch especially with that stream running in the background. Thanks :)
My younger self would do anything to stay a night in that fort, and honestly so would my current self! You should totally do a quarantine look book! Love your videos!!
Quarantine from what?
Beautiful to see that not only men like camping and bushcraft. Good on you missy
Well done young lady! A lovely little retreat for you to enjoy now after a weeks worth of work!
You are absolutely amazing!!!! And it only took 13:49 to build it. 😁
That was so enjoyable to watch and made me want to go make one
that was incredibly calming , thank you.
Yay, bushcraft videos with chill vibes and good aesthetic!
This is sooo cool! ❤️
Would love more.
Omg my kids would of loved this great job
Wow! You have to be an earth angel.
Can’t wait to start using these in my garden! 💖🥰
You did a damn fine job, Hannah!
This looks so cool! It’s much brighter and forest like compared to the usual bushcraft shelters
That looks Awesome, absolutely AMAZING!
This reminded me of my childhood. Loved it!
I´m so proud of you I´ve always wanted to do something like that. I must smell delicious like pine
yess!!! love ur videos girly
If I had a daughter I would show her this video. Look at what you accomplished by yourself. It is so beautiful.
There is a whole lot of cuteness in those there overalls.
You're soo talented! That's amazing, I may try something similar one day although I don't think it would be that easy 🥰🥰
Well this was a nice surprise! Great job and if one can't see themselves spending the night after building this....then they have no sense of adventure.
life is great staying true to your inner child, you are a great example of that, thank you
Well done young lady. You are an inspiration.
Anyone remember the "bridge to terabithia" movie ?
I kinda get the vibe that if the girl from the movie survived she would be doing exactly something like this...
Such a beautiful movie ❤️
Spoiler
Cowboy Issa 13 year old movie & a 43 year old book... that’s not a spoiler anymore buddy
Jean Phillips I know. It’s sarcasm,
You're so brave wearing that white shirt lol, I could never without ruining it in five minutes
Whoa...what a champ, knocked it out like nobody’s business. Looking at the future for those who want to maintain some sort of freedom. A genius leading by example.
So amazing just next to the tiny river, perfect spot 👌
You are quite incredible Hannah! Capable of big things 💚 This was beautiful to watch!
Had no idea you were this crafty :)
I can not understand how a person could thumbs down this. This is one of the most reliable for what I can assume is the area. Also very short, compared to other overly explained or drug out results. I understand if you live in a place this would not work. But appreciate b don't player hate. Fantastic job, do you you amazing creature of creation.
She said she could so she did!!!!!
🍃♥️Love from Texas♥️🍃
Lookin like Lara Croft in the thumbnail 😉
wow. it's like every outdoorsy guys dream outdoorsy girl.
Hannah! You are such an incredible woman! Highly intelligent, very creative, yet earthed, not afraid of craftmanship, and you are a free spirit! Also, you are georgeous. It will be hard to find a man who's grown enough to keep up with all your qualities and a strong woman like you! I like your videos and adventures, and I look up to you! My favourites are your vanlife videos (when you are on your own), but I liked this one, too. You seem to be so relaxed, focused and determined. You make a great role model!
This is not wasting time to watch and soooo satisfying!!!
Just so amazing. Primitive build, in modern era, by lara Croft look a like 😀
I’m scared to see her stab her eyeball on a branch 😂😂
Ahahahahah decided not to detract fr the video with that clip 😂 I’ll talk about my injuries when I do my overnight in it lmfao
Evette Evans I know a few people who broke their ankle that way😩
What a gorgeous setting!
So nice to see you are actively learning and practicing these skills. Hard work pays of with skill.
This is amazing! I love your videos - they inspire me to go out and adventure! I live in Duluth, Minnesota so I love that you are in a similar climate and terrain. Are you planning to camp in your fort?
Wow this is amazing! My friend and I are actually doing the same thing. ;)
this brought back so memories of building my own forts as a kid, thank you this was lovely :)
During my first time using a hatchet, a piece of the branch somehow popped upward and gave me a nice little gash on my forehead. Thankfully i wasnt alone. And it really wasnt that bad anyway! Nothing risked, nothing gained. Beautiful project, as always, Hannah! Love to you.
I was very impressed. Leaf rake, shovel, hatchet, twine, multipole changes of clothing. I would love to bushcraft with you, well done.
Impressing you is every woman's dream.
u really did that huh 🤩🤩
It's fabulous. What a great spot to sit, relax, read, just listen to the creek. I imagine it smelling like Christmas. :)
Look at what you did! Bravo!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That was relaxing to watch 😄. Fantastic video. How long did it actually take to build?
Wooww... That is seriously impressive !!! Can i ask you how long did this take you? Damn.. This is incredible & awesome!!!
👌👌💪💪👏👏👏
This is really cool.
Yep still amazing and beautiful
