    Default Mud hut!

    Jeeze-o-Pete, give this guy a .22 rifle and a fishing pole, and he'd be invincible! Pretty impressive.

    Wonder what the permit cost to build that structure.


    On a serious note, I think I'd build some air holes in the chimney to draw air from the outside directly, rather than draw all the fresh, cold air in through the front door. Very impressive. I wonder what the total build time was.

    That's awesome. I was wondering when I watch the new show "alone" if any of them were going to build a more permanent shelter since the goal is to be there long term.

    Here is another one of his videos. In this one he plants a garden that is watered by the rain running off the shelter. This guy is neat.

    This guy has mad skills... I have no critiques! . I wonder what kind of trees he was using for the structure and walls? Looks a East Coast or Appalachian to me. Did he say anywhere how long it took him to build it?

    Watching his other videos I'm pretty sure he's in Australia.

    That dude must have callouses on top of callouses. Hands and feet.

    That makes sense. I dare anyone to try building a hut like that in Colorado...

    Yea try it in Boulder county, you'd be burned at the stake for even attempting to cut down a tree.

    Which is ridiculous in itself because cutting down trees can be great for an area. That's tree huggers for you though...
