Building a Warm and Cozy Woods Shelter for Survival, 9 Days of Survival in a Harsh -9°C Snowy Forest
Oh, you're all still awake, thought it wasn't popular anymore, but I still have fans, alright,
no need to guess, left or right foot today, you'll get it wrong anyway.
If you still see me, give a shout.
Or comment, your battery percentage.
So I know I haven't been.
Seen without a reply.
Okay, that's enough for this little heart to heart.
Let's get straight to today's main topic.
Meet Rog, the wilderness survival expert.
He arrives at a hillside.
Preparing to build a winter camp, the kind where this is true living.
Rog uses a shovel to mark, and then dig.
Luckily, it's early winter, so the ground is still soft.
Soon enough, he has a half meter deep hole.
Along with space for an earth stove, so versatile.
Next to the stove, he digs another hole.
The chimney comes up from below.
Very chill.
Rog starts collecting straight logs.
To build the wall frame for his villa.
With a foundation already in place, building the wall frame is easy.
He just sets straight logs as posts, connecting them with cross beams.
The wooden frame is done in no time.
For the roof, he stacks logs, fitting them perfectly with the slope top.
He looks just over 20, but his talent is no joke.
With his one of a kind design skills, the shelter quickly takes shape.
The wooden frame layers are clearly defined.
It blocks wind from above, and snow from below.
Perfectly designed.
A few hammer taps, and there's a skylight.
To ensure the structure is sturdy.
Rog also adds a few small same sized wooden stakes.
The roof joints are finally fixed, and supported.
Done.
Thanks to this, the roof isn't just a little bit sturdier,
but the overall style of this wooden hut also matches quite well.
He's diligently collecting wood in the forest again.
Asterisk, doesn't he know what tidiness is?
Then he cuts it with a saw, to his satisfaction.
To seal up these rough walls.
And so, nails and a hammer.
The sound of labor.
Any leftovers, just shove them into the corner.
The side walls, oh no, can't do it that way.
Just dot dot dot, carefully adjust the length of the wood.
To precisely match the wall.
More nails, more hammering.
Getting tired of this.
Before long, the walls were completely sealed.
Making a wooden door.
Much simpler, he said.
Arrange the wooden planks neatly into a square frame.
Connect them to form a solid wooden door.
Install it onto the frame.
Done.
Now, the hut also looks like a house.
But to be fit for living in.
Rog had to figure out more work.
VN, VN, CON, TT.
The CNN, HONE, THION.
That was the crucial task.
Fireproofing the roof.
Asterisk, that's right.
The most important thing, he used a waterproofing system.
Covering those exposed areas.
Every detail, absolutely no room for error.
The rainproof tarp, covered a sigh of relief.
Using soil from the excavator, he made the top layer.
Just kept working, to keep strong winds from causing trouble.
It also helped reinforce the roof further.
When it came to meticulous attention to detail, dot dot.
This guy worked extremely carefully.
Not missing even the smallest detail.
After completely covering the roof with soil.
Rog went to gather more fresh pine branches.
With their fresh, soft, green for a natural touch.
Used to decorate the roof.
Significantly increasing the beauty of the hut.
What's more, it also helped the hut, dot dot dot,
blend perfectly into the environment.
Ensuring that no one would even notice it when passing by.
After finishing the exterior, he frantically worried
about waterproofing the interior.
The inner earthen walls.
He covered them with tarps to protect against rain.
This both enhanced aesthetics,
and prevented mud from splattering everywhere.
The fireplace was plastered with incredibly sticky mud.
Rog, at the entrance, fully utilized the leftover materials.
He quickly made a set of table and chairs.
By this point, the shelter was basically complete.
He just needed to hang two horseshoe lamps for effect.
On either side of the entrance.
And that was it.
Up to standard, dot dot.
For what, it's unclear.
Rog, finally, went inside.
He lit the fireplace.
What a surprise.
Yes, because it's so warm out there.
This freezing paradise.
A fireplace, making it warm.
Who would have thought?
And it can cook too.
So versatile.
He, next to his DIY table and chairs,
dot dot dot dot dot, began processing the food.
Sounds awful.
Slicing, and dicing.
Very professional.
Then, skewering.
Prehistoric style.
A light marination, to make it fancy.
Then, it's time to grill.
The multifunctional fireplace, plus today's main course.
Dot dot dot, fragrant grilled meat.
In the snow.
Rog sat, amidst the snowstorm, next to his hotel.
Beginning the golden moment of his meal.
Relaxed, yes, very relaxed.
Who wouldn't dream of this?
No one.
After eating, full and satisfied,
he lit the horseshoe lamp.
A horseshoe lamp.
The lamp, cast its light, to make it less dark,
and instantly cozy.
Probably, me.
I just want to be home.
It's evening.
Who would have guessed?
He went back inside.
Closed the wooden door, very carefully.
And warmth, fell asleep.
Must be exhausted.
The next morning, still alive,
Rog packed his things, preparing for escape.
Hung the horseshoe lamp on his backpack.
Still, the horseshoe lamp.
Closed the wooden door tightly.
Goodbye, palace.
Then, kept going.
Another snow camping trip.
Dot dot dot, why again?
