The design is reasonably simple and fairly easy to put together. It's the ideal shelter during the winter because it will keep you nice and toasty warm. Maintenance is equally as easy and if you are wondering just how warm it can be, watch the video:
The tent-like shelter was built in the middle of nowhere, with extreme weather conditions evident, in the heart of wolf and bear country! You can’t get much more “survival” than that.
In the end, this is the type of shelter – excepting four walls and a stove – that we would not mind staying in. If you are going to rough it you might as well do it with as much comfort as possible!

This is too much gear.. you need to learn the Mors Kochanski “super shelter”….
That little shelter I would go with small trees 20 feet long build kind of like a log cabin but no need to notch the trees out build another around the outside of it one foot bigger around and full the space in between the to with peat moss for insulation so you may want to build it near a muskeg to get the peat moss, And for food rabbits love it in the muskeg
Start at the 6 minute mark. No need to spend the first 6 minutes watching him hike through snow and talk about wolves.
heavy duty canvas tarps. the same material used in military tents. bought mine from military surplus. Great for covering out door wood projects to protect from elements.
Please I use parachute hammock with an inner and outer shell then make a enclosed tarp design around it. Slept fine in 5 degrees. Best part my whole sleeping system is probably 20 pounds lighter
I’d build a little fence around to keep the animals out they will eventually tear it apart. Great idea a bit far off grid. I never need to go far for animals here in WA state
When posting a video on line , turn up your volume.
Boring, long and uninformative.
No joke! Too much gear also.
Video takes to long to get to it
We don’t care where the damn tent is, how was it built? Why so much video time walking through snow n woods? I lost interest before he ever got there.

I simply skipped ahead, paused at key structural shots, and made a few notes. you can find other youtube vids on hot to make this structure. my main concern is those blankets. one or two will certainly mildew in springtime.

To much data eating, yak, yak,stomp thru the woods. Get to the point!
No one cares about the 4 mile hike dude but great shelter
Great shelter
