Emergency shelter's building test with my Fox Parang Bushcraft

[martineden]

Lovely pics Alfredo .
The main support branch that Alfredo cut looks very dead from those pics Claire , and a little bark removal for the support aint gonna hurt it to much in the long term .and Lower branches are often thined out too to encourage growth .

Thanks mate. You're 100% right. Al

Thanks. The handle of my Parang is grippie and safe, but not the most confortable for heavy duty, like a prolonged chopping session. I suggest to use a pair of gloves if you do it, or in alternative a lanyard as mine, so you don't need to handle stronlgy the knife, but just let it work for himself. Al

Some time ago I was fascinated by the description of an emergency shelter I found on the very nice and famous book “Woodcraft and camping” by Nessmuk.

Nicely done Alfredo.

Thanks mate. Well done about the book: my last shelter is a poor version of the Indian Camp (pag. 13). Al
