I went out and had a play today - making a 100% Natural Shelter.
The site I am using is limited as to materials for this and everything has to be 100% bombproof as Service users of the Care Farm come up to the site with their support workers.... and we have a school visit coming along next week - 60 kids!
The Shelter is conceived of as a Gear Store for bits I leave on site ... but I will also use it for the odd night out
I started off just thinking of a lean-to but then it developed a foot wall and a half length second wall.
I did not get to finish it today - but hopefully I will get back to cover it in a huge depth of ... brambles!
The site has little leaf litter - but it has plenty of brambles and I am sure that if I mat them down they will give good weather protection - and deter Zombies!
The Virgin Site
Lashing the roof pole - with brambles!
laying on the poles - lashing with - brambles!
the roof extends...
and gets a covering of the leaves torn from the lashings
From the inside - note the lashings ... brambles!
