I take on an exciting bushcraft project of building and living above a lake in the wild, accompanied by my loyal dog Jackie. The location is unique and challenging, with the shelter constructed over water that is 2.6 meters deep. The setting offers a stunning connection to nature, and it’s great to have Jackie with me as a companion throughout the experience.
Building this shelter was not easy due to the water depth and the logistics of working over the lake. I had to carefully plan and execute every step to ensure the shelter would be stable and functional. The process involved crafting strong foundations and using natural materials to merge the shelter seamlessly into the wilderness around the lakeside.
An important focus in the video is the construction of a highly efficient 2-in-1 stove that I designed and built myself. This stove not only provides warmth but also serves for cooking, which is essential for living comfortably in the wild. Alongside this, I show how I constructed a smart fish trap designed to catch fish from the lake, demonstrating my survival skills and resourcefulness.
Living in this shelter with Jackie above the lake offers a peaceful lifestyle that combines adventure and practical survival. The video emphasizes the harmony between nature, shelter building, and sustaining oneself with the resources available. It also reflects my passion for bushcraft and my dedication to sharing these skills and ideas for future wild projects
Overall, this experience was both rewarding and challenging. I hope viewers enjoy watching the detailed steps of the build, the stove, and the fish trap. I look forward to hearing new ideas and continuing to explore and share my bushcraft adventures with everyone interested in wilderness living and survival skills.
