We continue to build the bushcraft dome hut in the woods using primitive technology to build the bark roof. We use using cedar bark which we peel from the log using hand made bark peelers or peeling spuds. The Wigwam Shelter is really starting to take shape now. We use the inner bark of cedar as cordage to stitch the bark to the frame of the shelter. We soak it in water a few hours to make it pliable. Now that the shelter has a roof, we will begin to plan the first overnight at the bushcraft camp. We’re looking forward to practicing survival skills at the camp and to add further structures and projects. Part 3 will be out soon!
