How to make a survival shelter

Great video Dave!!!!

I will probably never be in a survival situation, But you never know what will happen from day to day.
Thank you for sharing.💖

Thank you friend

Much appreciated Dave :)

Thanks Dave: A lot of good survival stuff that we always need reminding about. Thanks Brian 77

I love this type of information video. Spot on and filled with real usable stuff!!! Thanks again for everything you do blessings 😇

Solid advice Dave

super smart...good video brother...common sense at it's best...

Thanks for the update, on how the shelter held up. A new coat of leaves, and it’d be good as new.

Good instructional video there Brother. Shalom

Cool fact, before the stone castle of Europe they had an abundance of wood, as per your advice they used what they had a lot of, timber, the early castles were all wood. Once that resource was used up they ended up using stone. By the way, even a thick forest floor of dropped pine needles, in great abundance can be use for debris shelter, use a lot of them, just like leaves maybe better. It is really beautiful to walk through a big stand of white pine, so quiet and open. Great points on shelters.

Excellent video. Great content and well expressed. Thank you!

Thanks man, nice video.

We need more dudes like you my good sir.

Love the blue Jays swacking.😁

Perfect..., A+ explanation!

Hey, nice video. Off topic question what's that jacket you are wearing, looks real nice?

Wish I could send you a pic of the U.P sunset.

Excellent video Dave, being your neighbor to the west, Wisconsin has very similar materials.

Dave, Very informative video.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay safe in the woods.

Great video Dave, have you and or Brooke ever made a shelter out of snow? Just curious? One of the things I miss most about home are hardwood forests, specifically oak trees. I would be interested in seeing you do a similar video up here in Alaska. Just a suggestion.

Dave, I gave a thumb up for this video in 2017, I can't give another, unless... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good stuff

Thats brooks shelter bave

Great video as always! Just curious if you are related to any of the Whipples that raced at Thunderbird , Winston, and I think Berlin Raceway in Michigan?? I remembered the name from when I was younger and went to the races.

Dave that's a cool shelter and great advice too. Like the wall barrier to with the smaller pcs, good wind break also. It's almost the same what me and my younger brother built on the farm back in the early 70's. Went in the bush and gather up whatever we could use to build it. There was lots of fallen trees and made a few walls then piled smaller stuff on the roof. One time carrying a log, I turned and the log ripped my face open on the left side chin area. It was 10 miles too the hospital and did it ever hurt too. It took lot's of the staff just to hold me down getting those stitches. Got one big scare from it. Later on we tried starting a fire on the inside, see videos of how to do it now we didn't know how as kid's and boom the shelter was on 🔥. My oldest grandfather had to throw lots of water on it then the garden hose and burnt a big area of bush too. Boy did get in trouble when the old man get home.

I want to see how you made that awesome cabin on Alone. And so quickly! Can you show us how you made that one?

Yeah place I've camped most is a Big Beech wood might do that next time. Also there are occasionally thinning operations and they just leave loads of green downed young trees also good if you want to poach handle material haha.

Dave I can tell that you did not miss to many days of man class . Well Done

Great advice. Hey, if all you have is a junk pile, use the junk!

Amen!

Will snakes get in those shelter??

I carry a cheap lightweight tarp with me. Have that and some bungee cords or rope you will have a waterproof shelter. I built an A Frame shelter in the woods years ago using scraps and it still stands also. I let the wildlife use it now and put hay in there before the winter.

Very good advice...use what you have a lot of.

I built quite a few shelters similar to this in my younger days in Newfoundland, Canada. Not just for an emergency weather event but as an overnight shelter for hunting and fishing. A lot of the time a bough whiffen, with a fire right outside, would be enough in the spring and fall. A great message and another solid video Dave.

Loved it! Thanks!

Ahahaha I saw Maisy in the background and thought she was a deer for a second haha

Excellent! Thank you!

I’m going to try this with my friends

Cool video
