A true survivalist can build this kind of shelter from scratch, with no pre-made tools to start. The first step is to create an ax by knapping one rock against another.
Rows of large leaves are then strung together to form a layered roof for protection from the sun and rain.
Mud is packed onto a framework of branches to create solid walls.
A fireplace is added inside for warmth and cooking.
After scurrying up a tree, bark is gathered to further weather-proof the hut’s roof.
And of course, no home would be complete without a chimney. This mud construction directs smoke from the interior fire up and away from the hut.
Awesome!
