    Default PLaying in the woods - My Shelter day

    I built this shelter, all with black wattles, so Im taking out some bad trees and learning at the same time

    Took about 4 hours, had my axe and my Esee 4 (recently replaced my axe with a Grunsfors Bruks, what an axe!)

    Use the bark to tie everything down, I think its safe to say I can stand on it, the bark of the Black wattle is really strong and useful (plus taking of the bark kills the tree!)

    Made a fire with my flint, and chilled our for the day
