Was this before or after that guy from the primative technology channel on youtube started uploading?
Your shelter looks quite shitty for having spent 6 months with it. A nigger could build a grass hut that looks nicer honestly.
Having said that, I wouldn't know how long said nigger would take to construct anything, nor do I know what challenges you might have faced.
This was back in 2014. I didn't build this, but I did learn how to build structures like it, and structures even bigger and nicer. They had nicer buildings to live in. I chose to sleep in this at night. I wasn't trying to vacation at some resort, I was trying to experience REAL LIFE. I wanted to test myself and see what I'm really made of. Yes, it was shitty, leaked a lot when it rained, and was full of bugs, and I could hear things moving around at night only a couple of feet from my hut.
Sounds rough but also amazing. In the past year I've gotten real into camping, and each time going a bit lighter with my gear. There is nothing better to clear your head and escape the day to day than this. Hoping I can do something like this in the future
Have you seen this chick on youtube who makes huts in the jungle? She would a big help to have around. Cause damn. https://m.youtube.com/c/survivalshelterideas/
That is fake as shit. Notice how they skip HUGE portions of her 'building' and show just a few low effort clips of her making some very small adjustment. A crew does the work and videos her. Look at the views, 29 million views? Think of the add revenue.
Yes, I have seen her. I think she is in the Philippines. I was in South America. I was given a jungle wife by the chief which helped out a lot.
Primitive technology and similar channels are full of shit, they often use modern tools and heavy machinery off camera, nothing primitive about it.
