Building a Cliff Shelter FROM START TO FINISH with Luxon Bushcraft

In this video, I will show you a beautiful place in the forests of the mountain where I decided to build my camp. It was a few beautiful days and a nostalgic experience that took me back to my childhood. Namely, I spent a lot of time there playing in the forest and building shelters. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to spend my childhood in such an environment. The terrain is very difficult and inaccessible, so I built a wooden bridge with a fence and wooden steps to facilitate access and the works I have planned. Also you will see how I built a sturdy wooden structure from logs with a multipurpose wooden cliff top porch attached to it. Namely, it can serve as a lookout point with a beautiful view of the mountains and the forest, it also serves as a dining room and for afternoon and morning tea drinking... I also built log walls, and a wooden door with a latch, closed my shelter, and made it safe for the long term. I placed the wooden bed on an elevated part and thus achieved that it does not take up the space in which I move. I protected myself from the weather. I made windows out of Plexiglas that I brought with me into the wilderness from civilization to close the openings on the upper part of the rock and at the same time get waterproofing, protection from rain and cold, and the light I need. I also made a wooden ladder that made it easier for me to access the terrace and the bed. I coated the boards on the terrace and the door with a polyurethane coating to protect them from weather conditions and thus extend the life of the wood. I continue to work on improving my shelter to make it more comfortable for me. You will see how I made a wooden floor from flat planks. Also I will show you how you can make a wooden table and a wooden bench yourself, as well as a very practical wooden candlestick that can be used as a chandelier. I decorated the wooden corner shelf I made with autumn fruits and candles to make it more pleasing to the eye. You will see how I made a small practical kitchen with a large clay fireplace in my cliff shelter and thus raised my ambiance to a higher level. I made the wooden structure from solid oak posts, and I made the preparation for the roof from flat boards. For the waterproofing of the roof, I used a waterproof, UV-stable PVC membrane that is used to make industrial roofs. As a fastening material for the roof, I used steel molding that I fixed with nails. I later used that molding to make a sturdy dome for the fireplace out of clay and mud. I made the walls out of dead chestnut logs and closed the slats with clay. I made the window that I mount in the video in my home workshop from recycled materials. The works were very demanding considering the configuration of the terrain and they lasted about 30 days. At nightin my shelter it was very cozy with the song of owls and wild foxes. I and my friend Lajka had a great time. Thanks for watching, I hope you like it. 🔔 Subscribe: My other profiles: INSTAGRAM:Luxon Bushcraft My videos cover log cabins, shelter, winter camping, primitive technology, bushcraft, wilderness survival, cave survival, outdoor skills, outdoor cooking, DIY, fishing, and bushcraft gear like knives, saws, and axes. #bushcraftshelter #dugout #survivalskills #outdoorcooking #primitiveskills #bushcraftlogcabin #bushcraftcabin #survivalskills #diybuild #bushcraftstove #LuxonBushcraft #dugout #primitivetechnology #undergroundhouse #cave #bushcraft #camping #hiking #diy #asmr #offgrid
