  • This video captures my bushcraft shelter build in the Australian bush from concept to December 2021. Whilst it's yet to be finished I felt that the completion of the outside mud walls culminating in the end of the year was a fitting combination for a montage video.
    If you're new to this build and would like to following in more details links are below.
    There will be a lot more coming in 2022!
    Enjoy.

    Congratulations Alex on a wonderful year of building your 'Abode'. As I'm watching through your episode snippits in review, was surprised I had remembered each and every one. May you enjoy your time off during the Holidays and I am enthusiastic and excited to see as to what you'll build and add in this upcoming year. Cheers on a Year Well Done!

    Hello, love the work and creativity expect this Basecamp shack to be enjoyed for many years to come 💪🏻👌🏻 always wanted to build my own shack or cabin been in Australia for a year now got another 3 so still time. Where are the best areas of land to do it and can I legally just walk into the bush and build a cabin out of the way without speaking to local councils? Be great if can get a response please

    • @AlexDoes
      @AlexDoes  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey mate, thanks for watching. In NSW, you're generally okay to do this in State Forests without asking permission. They allow camping anywhere so long as you don't cut down any standing wood or remove wood from the forest without a permit. You're not allowed to do this in any National Parks. Cheers, Alex.

      Not really, they are there but unless you go looking for them you rarely see them. The most common snake I saw were Red Bellied Black snakes but they were all out on the roads near by sunning themselves. Cheers.

      Hi Bill5931. Thanks for watching the video. I built this in a state forest that is used for logging. You're okay to build something there as long as you don't cut down any trees even if they are dead. All materials I used I collected off the ground.
      You cannot do this legally in a National Park as far as I know.
