Bushcraft Camp Update 15 – Wood Frame Roof Build (Super Shelter)

primativeness_wjmwit September 4, 2018 Leave a Comment PRIMATIVE

The Bushcraft Camp Update series continues, this time I build a wood frame roof for the super shelter. I don’t talk for the first part of the Bushcraft shelter building as I needed to concentrate on the construction of the roof frame of the camp. I use a folding shovel to dig a deep hole in the ground to support one of the poles. I then scavenge for wood to make the frame. I cut and saw the logs to length and make simple Log Cabin notches so that the wood frame is naturally supported by each strut. I then build cross members to help with run off for the roof. Once the frame was built, I used a heavy duty tarp and made an adjustable roof system where I can make the roof extend to whatever length I desire. This means that when it is not raining I can open the roof to the camp and be closer to nature. I figured that if I was going to build a permanent wood roof then I may as well have built a Log Cabin structure and that is not what this project is about. So I went for a temporary adjustable roof.

The camp is now complete with Hunting Tower with ladder, Dog House, Lean to shelter, raised bed, fire pit , log store and perimeter walls. The Bushcraft Camp Update series is still my favourite to date. Being able to build a natural shelter from resources found in the woods is a key skill to have. I enjoy spending time alone in the woods, it helps me to reconnect with nature and learn Bushcraft & Survival Skills while doing solo overnight camps in the forest. To start with I built this supershelter using cheap tools to save money. As my knowledge developed I began to purchase better quality tools to help me get tasks done faster. I still have a few more things to add to the camp. Stay tuned for those. Thanks so much for joining me on the adventure! – Mike
