Building a primitive shelter completely warm natural waterproof roof - Off the grid bushcraft! 

Oh, man! You're building the things we imagined that we were building when we were kids. 😊

This is why it is important to let kids play in the dirt, play with their hands, let them get dirty! I bet, anyone who would try doing something like this- it would wipe away their depression! So natural and peaceful compared to our busy, noisy, high tech world! Whenever I get involved in nature outside I feel “normal” again. I would love to do this! My childhood friend and I were always outside adventuring, we often say how thankful to God we had a childhood & did not have phones and such. We miss those days so much. Thank you for sharing! Must work up a mighty appetite when working like so, making any meal even tastier with hard work done. I like reading people’s comments and stories too.

Dude, you make things that look like they come out of the story books and fairy tales of our imaginations. I could only imagine stumbling upon one of these in the woods, you do a spectacular job. Keep on building.

One of the most creative bushcraft shelter projects I have seen. Kudos to you, sir, you are an artist builder.

We thought you couldn't beat your last shelter, but you surprised us! You're the real deal, please continue. Thank you!❤️

You truly are a tremendous artist, you build not only mine but many others dream forest houses. I grew up living in camps in the woods, sleeping out for days at a time. I built a few fairly good shelters most semi sunken but your work is on a god level! Thank you Charlie 🇬🇧

The fact that you hauled shafts into the house just to throw them out for that cool "catch" bit not once, but 3 times is awesome. 110% dedication to the craft, and not just the house either! Lovely hut!

thank you for building the coolest forest cottages....makes me smile everytime. You are truely an artist, and I appreciate you sharing your creations with us all.

It is always such a wonderful day whenever you upload a new video. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world, Athos!🙏

So good to see you in your element, as this crazy world just keeps getting crazier, and your world just keeps getting creative😎👍❤🖖

I didn't know that dirt and grass made a roof ! you are very talented.

Hi friend, we hoped to see you soon in your videos, an excellent refuge that you created, I hope you continue showing us your projects, greetings 🇨🇱🤠👍

Every new project your cob/brick skill improves! Very 😎 sir

I remember when our grandparents build houses out of straw and mud, and not having to work 40 years+ to afford a small apartment...now these type of houses are regarded as old fashioned or "poor". Somehow, at some point, someone made us think that we are stupid and cannot build a house, and therefore we must get loans from the banks, work a misserable job all our lives, and miss out all our youth so we can afford a home. We fucked up , and we must go back ! Thank you for all your inspiring work sir !

Really amazing work. I appreciate how you don't try to hide anything like other primitive construction channels

Very nice, my friend. I really appreciate this type of video. The shelter is done very well and neatly. Congratulations👌👌👌

Each shelter is better and better!!! Loving your style!!! Keep p the great work!!! God bless!!!

Someone should make competitions out of this amazing concept.

I can't find the words, one is completely enchanted when watching. A wonderful soul rests within you. You have been gifted with a wonderful gift. 🙏 💝

I am grateful for your channel as you are a brilliant craftsman and teacher. Many thanks, and God bless you.

Your creations are beautiful! Bravo! 🤩👍

Thank you for curing my boredom at 3 AM. You truly are a very good person

Oh my god you built a shelter in the woods!! Amazing!!! Im a simple minded youtube commenter!!!! Whoooooaaaaa!!!!!!!!

СПАСИБО Вам за очередной ролик!

The boss Athos

beautiful work brother!

I will envision this style of shelter everytime I manifest my off-the-grid living dreams. Absolutely awesome✊🏾

You sir, are an artist!

Two thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!

Omg please please more Minecraft this was everything I never knew I needed

Great layout and design. It's this breed that will survive the great reset! Glad there's more people out there building homes for Gnomes and other forest dwelling beings. Kudos 👍👌

Love all your shelters! They have real craftsmanship

We’ve been waiting for this!

When you began carving the faux brick pattern, that's when I was absolutely convinced you are not only a fine craftsman, but an artist as well! Cheers!

Muy bella construcción.....

I love that you put the long version on your shorts cannel, and the short version on here, lol. Beautiful creation, as usual... thank you for the entertainment and the education. It is clear that you take great pride in your craft, and that you put much work into creating these wonderful videos. Much love to you, and may great blessings come your way!

Thanks for all man. What a beauty in natural art. ❤️

Love it! All of it!

Brother, you're the best! You helped me become a Bushcrafter! You're my teacher. Thank you.

Incredible! This is my favorite house you’ve ever built! Very much looking forward to seeing inside, it seems so cozy already

You are really a genius of craftsmanship, it is beautiful !!!! Congratulations

Whoa... incredible! I'm about to binge based on these comments. Well done!

It really amazes me when I see this. With just a couple very rudimentary tools and some time, you created a little space that I'd be comfortable living in for the rest of my days.

Great looking shelter, you're really showing that you have the spirit of a craftsman when you build these things, there are numerous shortcuts you could take and things you could leave off that would save a ton of time and you do them anyway. It shows in your work, hence 'Craftsman', you have a lot to be proud of, the least I can do is like it and comment. Thanks for showing it off and giving many of us ideas

it was a long time to see yours vidéos !! how are you Athos ??

Bravo...Craftsman!! Carver/ sculpter extraordinaire!! Tolkien would indeed,be envious of this project!! BRAVO!! Thanks for sharing this moment of your time n talents and artform adventures!! ........> 👍🐺🧙‍♂️🦊👍

I especially enjoy Athos Outdoor Prospector's amazing creations. True artistry and creativity!

You are truly unbelievable! Craftsman extraordinaire! Beautiful cabin!

How blessed you are to have soil with such a high clay content! Those walls and roof must have very high “R Values!” Curious on the chimney… is it going to open into a fireplace?

Amazing how the watching of such physically demanding work is so relaxing. It's like therapy. I wish that I were in the position to actually try this!

Look at this guy go! What an intricate construction! So cleverly done and with such skill and imagination!!! Impressive and whimsical!!! Well done…

Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!! First 🥇

Your shelters are beautiful works of functional art. The skills and details are well filmed. They are an extraordinary education without the need of words. Peaceful and mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

Справжнісінький замок. Золоті руки ❤

you always build the most beautiful buscraft structures i have ever seen! any time i see you pop up in my feed i know im going to see a work of art!

Glad to see you back

Happy to see you back. You have been missed. Keep up the good work.

You're an artist! It's so great to see that lots of people are fed up with civilization and consumerism. You look like someone from a childrensbook. I love it! Keep it up!

Спасибо за видео, удачи в продвижении канала

Amazing! love your builds they have such a whimsical/ fairytale look to them, love it.

You really are very talented, Athos. I'm so jealous that you have somewhere you can do this? I can't wait to see the interior finishes? Love it!

Very fine, couldn't be better. Hand tools, quiet. There's a few humans who do things right and they show the rest of us. May our species evolve at a more rapid pace.

Oh man....I just....fell in love....your my dream man.....keep up the amazing work...and more vids

M am uitat de doua ori la rand la filmuletul asta si intre timp m am tot gandit oare ce sa iti scriu in comentariu. Sincer, nu am cuvinte... Pur si simplu este uimitor ceea ce faci! 👍

Another masterpiece. Well done.

Công trình của bạn thật tuyệt vời chúc bạn luôn mạnh khỏe 👍👍👍💪💪💪🙏

These are the things that make me happy. Being creative… true art and going back to our roots . Kids naturally enjoy playing with mud and dirt for a reason.

Wonderful and magical!❤❤❤

Glad to see another video, it’s been to long! Really enjoy your work.

The movie Willow comes to mind, how wonderful 🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏

I love this video so much!!!! From USA, it's like living in a fairy tail watching this video. Thank you so much!

Salut Athos. Félicitations vraiment du beau travail. Un véritable architecte. A bientôt ✌💚

Love watching these videos you are a great craftsman

I watched this same dugout being built on Luxon Bushcraft. Fine job on the build.👍☘️😎

Truly spectacular artistry! My kids and I are so inspired!

Hi! I often watch all your videos, you have a real talent for building interesting and unique huts and shelters! You obviously take the matter seriously, I'm just starting my way in bushcraft, but I think that I will also try to build interesting and complex shelters in the likeness of yours over time. In the meantime, I'm training and filling my hand, so to speak, gaining experience.

It's just awesome. Thank you for sharing this wonderful build with us, Athos!

I built something like this when I was in third grade. It was inside the bushes in front of our house to hide my little friends and myself, but yours is much better.

Absolutely amazing beautiful structure Athos . Thank you for sharing your personal life with the world I would believe. 🫶✌🏼

C'est magnifique ! Comment la maison se comporte lorsqu'il y a de la pluie ? Et l'intérieur est il humide ? Y a t'il de la poussière lorsque la glaise est sèche ? Peut on attraper une maladie au contacte de la glaise ? Si on a les jambes nue ? Il y a t'il la possibilité de mettre des toilettes ? Car aucune construction en prévoit ? Allez dans les bois se soulager, avec les araignées.... Comment en prevoir des toilettes ? Merci de me répondre en Français.

Simply Amazing..

Great job. Love these building techniques and design. Seems like it would be very rewarding. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Absolutely a masterpiece! Your craftsmanship is in a class of its own! I so enjoy watching your videos! Congrats!

Incredible work. I hope to build something like this one day. Yours is perfect!

Cool design. I just wish there were more channels showing builds like this that actually NARRATED what they're doing so we understand the techniques you're using. Too many channels are silent now. Extremely unhelpful.

O.M.G . . . That's an actul air-bnb. ❤ Nicely done, Sir!!

This by far has to be my favorite 💯👍🏻.... Love it

I'm really interested in your roof... What are the layers, how do they work, and how long will this remain waterproof? And is this type of roof suitable for a more permanent shelter?

Thank you so much for the inspiring content! Please never stop! 💖

Im jealous of what you have done.. im trying same in future. Jealous might be too much but i really respect what you have done.

Way back in about 1953-1955, I used to build "playhouses" in our garden. I did not have the wood to build a real playhouse so I dug out a hole in the ground and roofed it with whatever material I had, including in one case two large wood garage doors. My dad had made a room out of our double garage and saved the doors for some future project. I made a frame and laid the doors over this and then covered these with some of the dirt I had dug out for my play house. I usually went down about 5 feet or so and maybe 10 by 15 feet in room size. Yeah, I had a lot of dirt. Anyway, I would build a fireplace so I could cook something like hot dogs while I was in my room. My next-door neighbor - best friend - would come over and we would play games, play with our toy soldiers, and so on. It was so cool. The biggest problem would be it would rain and the play house would fill up with water, so we would have to do the whole thing over again. We had no way to protect against the water. I suppose we really did not mind as it gave us a reason to do the whole thing over again. Your shelter is what we really wanted all along. Outstanding.

Hello my friend it's been awhile, glad to see you're back and in great form. Nobody and I mean nobody can put together a structure like you can and I've seen quite a few since you've been away. Absolutely intriguing this one!!!! as have all the rest have been....stay uninhibited my friend

Definitely one of the most beautiful builds I've seen! 😍

Everything about this build was excellent, from start to finish,your skills are amazing, you should be proud man

You ARE the Master!!! Wow, this looks like something out of an enchanted forest fairytale!! Thanks for the great video!!! 👍👍👍

Outstanding job sir, great video

Salut l'ami ATHOS content de te voir beaucoup de boulot incroyable 👍👍👍

That fabulous work. That's worth paying for too be built. The attention to detail smoothing of the surface was a pleasure to watch. That's a better job than some professional plasterers I've come across. 👍👍👍👍

With skills like those, you'll never be homeless!! ;D

This is adorable! The video really taps into the childlike desire to build and create! If it weren’t so humid I might go outside and start chopping 😂
