Video: How to Build a Long-term Survival Shelter with No Tools

[hawgrider]

How good are your shelter-making skills? While it takes little training to set up a tent or turn tarp into a temporary shelter, learning how to make stable, long-term housing is quite a bump up in difficulty. In the below video, a survival expert demonstrates how to build a wattle and daub hunt entirely from scratch— including chiseling your own tools out of stone.

By definition, a wattle and daub hut is not something that can be described as comfortable. The method for building these shelters goes back at least 6,000 years and often involves mud, clay, straw, or dung.

Just a little knowledge, imagination, and work and you too can move into your brand new home! As the family grows you can easily add new rooms so you never outgrow your home. ;)

It's nice to see the method in use.
