I continue my survival challenge of building a bushcraft house on a massive fallen tree deep in the forest. Picking up from where I left off, I focus on completing the structure by building sturdy wooden walls, adding a small bridge for easy access, and installing safety railings around the house. It’s thrilling to see the shelter take shape, turning the natural fallen tree into a functional and secure home.
Everything in this build is done entirely by hand, without modern power tools—just my knife, axe, and survival skills honed over years of wilderness experience. This hands-on approach keeps me deeply connected to the environment and the building process. Each wooden plank and vine I use is carefully selected and crafted to ensure the house blends with the forest while providing lasting durability.
Beyond the physical building, this video captures the peaceful and immersive experience of living close to nature—listening to the flowing stream, the rustling wind, and the subtle sounds of wildlife. This connection helps me stay grounded and centered as I work, reminding me why I choose the bushcraft lifestyle.
The small bridge and railings add crucial safety and functionality to the shelter, making movement around the house easier and secure, especially given the elevated structure on the fallen tree. These details show the blend of practical survival considerations and creative design needed to build a comfortable long-term shelter in the wild.
By the end of this episode, the bushcraft house feels like a true home in the forest—strong, safe, and perfectly adapted to its surroundings. This video beautifully illustrates the combination of traditional skills, resourcefulness, and respect for nature needed to create a remarkable shelter off the grid. I’m excited to keep sharing this wilderness journey with you all.
