If one had to spend a year in woodland and you have a axe, saw or other tools, what would be your go to shelter building method?
I have seen all types from holes in the ground to full on log cabins. Would you invest vast amounts of time and energy on a shelter or just knock up something simple?
I suppose a hypothetical scenario could be you loose your marbles then your job and home and have to sleep rough? You have a giro or whatever enough for basic supplies. There is a good outcome on the horizon maybe a council house comes up but it is a year away?
Me? I think I would try for an iron age round house type shelter? Twin walls made of posts and wattle and daub stuffed with dry leaves /grass between. Pitched roof with hole in middle for fire smoke to escape? That will do me for a year?
