Winter Emergency Shelter Build in 35 minutes | CANADIAN WILDERNESS SURVIVAL | BUSHCRAFT | 

A good reminder of how much effort went into making everything that people had, that someone might have to improvise something as simple as a few pieces of cord.

Hello again from the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It is wonderful to see how many people, from all over, thoroughly enjoy your video content and commitment to pure entertainment, along with so much useful information.

Great video! I was out hiking in the woods Sunday, Monday! Beautiful days! I'll be back again this Sunday, Monday hiking some more! To me this is the best time to be in the woods! Cheers!

Great looking shelter using available resources.

Fantastic. I am so enjoying this series as this is right up my alley. And first comment! 👍

Great series! Looking forward to more shelter styles!

Hello Peter and apologies for my absence. Just made it home from taking my folks out to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary which is on the 28th. I acquired a nice piece of canvas a few months back, I haven't unfolded to know the exact size yet but I'm thinking I'm going to be doing some camping soon , Woodland Escape style. I'm looking forward to the next camp, it appears to be a very nice shelter. Thank you and appreciate you sharing. Prayers that all are well and have a blessed weekend my friend. Please tell the Mrs. We say hello. Thank you

Peter you just a handy guy to be around. I always learn something from you. I like the canvas tarps too. Me and Sharon spent the day at our cabin today. We got out looking for deer antler sheds. Also put corn out and feed them. Saw 5. Your always the best. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸

Quick and easy..! I'm glad that you addressed that it's your land. 1/3 does seem a bit high though for taking branches. Far too many youtubers promote stripping bows and cutting live trees whenever they go to the woods. Here.. on state or federal land, it's a quick way to get a ticket from the US Forest Service. Thanks for the video...

Peter another nice shelter can't wait to see them all. Be safe out there should say Kathy keep him Safe LOL 😆

I felt cozy watching the completion of the shelter.

Super film. Good Job 👍

-22 to 40 quite a swing. We will be 9 f here tonight, going below zero will happen this Winter as well. Welcome to Central New Mexico Monzano Mountains. Good tip get the wood you need then double it will definitely keep that in mind. Stay warm

I would do this in a heartbeat. It really makes you appreciate our creature comforts but on the other hand, life is so sweet in the woods.

Loving the series Peter! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻

Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for taking us on your adventure through time

Thanks for another great video of outdoors stay warm

Great video .... Thanks for all you do for all of us out here in video land. We enjoy spending time around your fire with you.

Love watching your shelter builds. And I can almost smell the wonder coffee. Thanks for another great adventure

This makes me appreciate the greatness of the teepee as mobile housing. Not as nice as a yurt, but very good on thermal retention when set up right.

Weather is a wonder .. here in New England there is a saying " if you don't like the weather wait minute ! " We just had similar .... -17 F this weekend is in the upper fifties ! Had to make a lento one time because of the weather change , way up in Maine close to Canada . No tarp ! Lucky we just cut some logs up for the clearing we were doing . wind was coming in all directions .... we lived .... I think LOL . hope this comment stays ... I have been losing them after I make them ?????

Last Friday I did hot tent camp @ 15 deg Fahrenheit, this Thursday record high 72 , this weather is insane here in Ky

Hi Peter, enjoyed the video. It's always nice to see you out in the woods being crafty! Thanks for Friday the afternoon tutorial. Take care see ya again.👍

Hello there my friend, enjoying the outdoors I see, I wish there was public land around here where I live,everywhere you look on every road you travel"POSTED" keep out. How I'd love to do things like this. Take care and happy bushcrafting

Thanks Peter! This is why i watch bushcraft. Love to see impromptu situations & how people survived. You are the real thing!

A fella and a partner could build two of these shelters, facing each other, and 'Life would be Sweet!' THIS is also a fine tutorial, given a short-time emergency need in a conifer or mixed forest. Thank you and your spouse for providing us with this well-filmed and edited video!

Stinkin RU-vid just now put this up in my notice?? Nice shelter, yes winter is so unpredictable these days. What an adventure!! And you have fresh coffee it’s a good day😊

Well done. Looks good for a quick shelter.

Hi Peter Kathy and I just watched the vid and enjoyed it thoroughly! You gave some good tips on construction and placement and your attention to the ecological components. Hope all is well with you and family. Cheers... R & K

A very informative video! Certainly much faster than the previous build. Thanks.

You are the only person I have ever seen that builds a fire that way. That is the same way I always built one when I was tracking in the woods. It made perfect sense for me to do it that way much less energy expenditure. It drives me crazy when ever I see a survivalist bucking wood into small pieces like he is going to be burning it in his fire place back home. Every one just thought I was lazy just smarter I guess.

Thanks for the shelter demonstration, and thanks for letting us tag along!

Sweet dreams Peter Hope the fire wood's plentyful;)

Great video. Awesome shelter build! :)

isn't the weather something this winter, we are experiencing the same large swing in temperature and snow then rain then back to snow here, oh well it will soon start to get better, nice shelter Peter the lean-to is my go-to when in need of a quick wind break/shelter

Luv your channel subd shared liked for a couple of years. Been doing Canadien Milice for decades. I find removing my leg ties in winter makes my feet warmer.

Hello Peter. loved the video. Years ago I would go into the woods in Upstate NY during the winter and build little makeshift shelters right off the snowshoe/cross country ski trails. Just as a challenge. Although I never had the courage to stay up there overnight. But it was still a confidence builder just to know that I could. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors should try this. Believe me its not as easy as you make it look. But for all outdoorsman this could be real life saving skill to master. Thanks again for this and all your great videos.

Appreciate your efforts and dedication! Back to basics. Curious as to the size tarps you prefer. A lot to consider, weight vs coverage and versatility. Thanks again and keep your powder dry!

Well I didn’t expect you to fallow my last comment on pulling trees over to make shelter so fast but you did a fine job mine would have been a bit different but I’m not filming either got to let the world see you. I’m looking forward to more wishing I was healthy enough to get out there and do stuff but now I live my dreams through watching others and telling people (kids) what they could do if needed when asked.

Yay my favorite people🌞🌲 🏕❄

I've been laid up since December. Your videos give me hope and inspiration.

I always enjoy revisiting videos where you practice these skills.

Here I am I'm the middle of the Australian summer just out of a couple of 40+C days & heading for a few more this week watching a bloke build a primitive shelter to keep our the freezing cold. Strange days indeed!! Great watching as usual. Now where's my ice-cream before if melts?

Very enjoyable

Always enjoyable! And thanks for your thoughts on wind direction!

Looks to me like you have a comfortable little shelter to spend the night in. Thank you for another educational video.👍

Lol! Watching you scoop snow with your shoes, I pictured you walking away, at the end of the video, with snow shovels tied to your feet.

Nicely demonstrated!

Nice, thumbs up 😊👍

Good morning from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing this live history videos

Another excellent video, Peter. That was a quickie for sure. Thanks for the tips on the construction.

Sir you've given spot on knowledge about placement & construction! Thank you, also noticed your breathing are you ok sir? ......ATB

nice setup!! love the channel

My old army canvas pup-tent was always warm as long as I had plenty of spruce branches under it.. My body heat was enough even at 20F. Two sticks and a tag line kept it up.

Great video, impressed with the shelter. And you as well Kathy, great job. Keep your powder dry

Really digging the outfit dude. Good job 👍

Looks comfy.

Nice ! I like what you’re doing !

I love your channel, because you are always teaching things that I would have never thought about.

Great video Peter. I wasn’t sure how it was going to work at first with the saplings. But, I learned something. You are a great teacher and Catherine is a great camera-person and editor. Thanks for sharing.

Yet another great video. I have built debris shelters but nothing beats a good tarp to keep the elements off you. You are inspiring me to get back to 1700 style trecking.

What, no chopping your wood into Itty bitty pieces? I thought everybody had forgotten a long fire, except the smart ones.

Easy build if you know lol. Learned about wind direction. Sneak about wood length so can stay in bed . Simon 😀🇬🇧

This weather really sucks but since we can't influence it, we have to put up with what comes along. I like your kit from the homebuilt toboggan up to the wool clothing and all. The only decent weather we've had was that -20 stretch a week or two ago. It's pretty dangerous to cross any ice. I x-country skied down a beaver pond in those temps and felt relatively safe, but no longer. I'll have to look up your toboggan-building video to see what wood you used, I'm interested in making up a kit like that, since I have a few components of it already. I spent many years working in the woods and rain was not an excuse to stay home. Neither is warm winter weather which is harder to handle than when it's cold. Modern snowshoes have the old wood and gut models beat in this soupy snow, and the moccasins kind've don't work in temps above -20. Which is too bad since they are superior to modern boots at that point. One of the problems with modern gear is that we rely on it too much. Knowledge in your head and simpler equipment is a better alternative which is why your kit is attractive to me. Also, and this is purely my opinion, but the old stuff made of leather and canvas, some of it beaded, or tooled, dubbined or patterned, was more beautiful than plastic or synthetic modern equivalents. You can buy a gun with a plastic stock, or make one using curly maple....or, I have two old Woods Nessmuck packs, older than my kids now, and I just can't bear to toss them out. They weren't actually built all that well but despite that, they held up to very hard use on mining exploration crews and were made of canvas and leather, all rivetted together. Such a handy design. Of natural materials. This was a lovely video Peter. A man can never go wrong being out in the woods like that even in this questionable weather.

I just want to tell you how much I enjoy, your sharing of primative skills. I also am a living historian and reenactor for 38 years. Watching your videos makes me want to get outdoors and immerse myself into our love of outdoors history. As a seventy year old myself, I thought that I was alone in this endeavor. It would be a privledge to meet you and share some time together discussing our love and appreciation for the old ways. It would be a most enjoyable and rewarding experience in such an environment setting. Please keep up with such high quality videos and historical content as they are very much enjoyed and educational.

Hello. atmospheric video 👍

I see you’re getting plenty of use from that red wool shirt. Your wife did a bang up job in that for sure. Slick little set up using the boughs instead of lots of rope, though I bet it could potentially take some time to find the right spot, especially in summer when rain needs to be considered.

I guess I got behind more than I thought. At least I am almost caught up now. I built something similar with a couple of rain ponchos while in survival school. If I could have had a fire I'm not sure then I would have known about the wind sucking the smoke back into the shelter. Since I couldn't have a fire, I blocked the wind. No blankets to sleep on, but cut branches did in a pinch. I remember dumping everything out of the plastic bags I had and putting snow in the bags and putting that in my coat pocket trying to melt it for water. It didn't work to well.

Peter, coming from a large family, what did people do to combat loneliness on their long treks to find game and visit far away relatives? The shelter looks plenty adequate to protect a seasoned outdoorsman and traveler. Once again thank you for the education.

Really enjoyed your videos, both informative and entertaining, keep them coming

outstanding❗💯👍🏆

Thanks, Peter & Kathy for another fascinating video. Thanks for the pointers. Peter, what is the size of the tarp you are using here? Do you ever have problems with bears?

Yea weather is nuts this year not abnormal though I guess. Here in Minnesota in usa it went from 40 below f to 40 above f overnight. It's hard for our body to acclimate to that when in winter here it's usely below zero all winter not 40 above.

I do a lot of cultivating Bonsai, in the forest behind my street I have dug up some bird seed spreading plant. Most are 'Taxus Bacata', but there is also what I think is Tsuga Canadian Hemmlock. Would be grateful if at some point you brought up Hemmlock. Thanks in advance

Weaving tree branched together or a tent is as far as I've done. That's other then lean up against a tree to sleep when I first moved up to the mountains. This kid I hung around with went catfishing and I decided to leave around 3am. Being ten years old fresh from city life and all.

THANK YOU

Great video - Thanks

Very nice shelter. Great videos!

I love middle aged larpers

nice set up good ch i scribed =liked

Enjoy your efforts in the videos you share. I’m curious if you’ve spoke about tea and brewing methods of the 18th century and it’s importance in trade and impact in the early Americas? I know you’re a coffee enthusiast however I’ve recently switched to brewed tea for the cardiovascular benefits. The history of such a simple plant is quite fascinating. I would relish your insight and comments.😊

Another awesome video, Peter…as usual the production is perfect, and the topic timely and informative valuable! I’ve been meaning to ask, where did you get that wonderful little coffee pot? I’ve not seen one on any of the historic supply catalogs…is it custom made? I’d very much like to add one to my kit!

I am really enjoying these videos on shelters, looking forward to number three wondering what will it be?

Peter; as a novice I'm surprised that you didn't use the toboggan as part of your bed. Is that because it is too narrow to be useful, the chance of damaging it is too great or something else?

Peter like to know where you got that shot bag with the trade silver on it sometime.

Love your vids guys! What province are you in? Cheers from Ontario. Subbed.

Really liking the blanket and clothes. I bet they were cheap. Haha!! Is the blanket Hudson’s Bay?

Thanks for the video Peter and Cathy. What tarp is that? Looks like a great tarp for multiple use.

What is the symbol on the front of your toboggan ?

I do think that the camera crew should get the first cup of coffee but then maybe she does.

you might want to recalculate the celcius nr you mentioned..40 degrees fahrenheit is about 4 degrees celcius, not 35. 35 is tropical :) Edit: listened again. And I think you meant the difference in temperature.

What no chimney?😁😁😁😁

Snug as a bug in a rug.

wouldn't last the night, went home after this was filmed

Could’ve been an hour longer and I wouldn’t mind.
