Building a SURVIVAL SHELTER in My BACKYARD!!! (Bushcraft Challenge)

shoo how's it going folks welcome back to another episode today well we've got the whole village of animals here they are amped look much hey you guys have I know yes yes need to keep eating some hey I gave you guys a whole bunch we - I - bails on the ground it's lasting a little while I know they don't love eating it off the ground but though they're not gonna die but we gotta get some grain far though but I've jr. how's it going buddy now we're not my guy you guys want some grain you would think that these things are starving but like we feed them very well how much hey they've got we give them more grain than than even necessary these things how's it going but I've got a very special video plan for you guys today we got to do the animal chores first first things first make sure these ladies and gentlemen mainly just ladies one gentleman his name is Dale and I make sure they've got for this yeah go ahead and give me some give me some grants Bonzo about to freak out one good god I'm telling you you think we starve these animals well we beat them every day funny we feed them funny every single day gosh you guys are nuts it's like I get it grains good but just treat it like it's frickin crack cocaine out here anyways we got special video today like so we gotta take her the animals we also have a present for the animals it was actually Dale's birthday yesterday it wasn't just made that up but we're gonna say it is and we've got a special gift for him went on Amazon and bought the my a present this is a mini trampoline okay for humans not not a goat but I read online or maybe when you guys commented I'm not sure to be honest that goats love jumping on things which I knew that but they love jumping on trampolines so we got them a freaking trampoline so we're gonna put this thing together today and set it out there you guys are gonna see what the goats do I think they'll will I get Karen should like it maybe even a little mini goats are gonna be Boing Boing Boing Boing bouncing around and whatnot and then we're going to attempt to build a legit dope survival shelter in the backyard but first things first we gotta build the old trampoline and see what the animals think of it stay tuned oh god it's gonna be in a million pieces and fire lots of tool time well actually it doesn't look bad alright already came pretty much together that's impressive I think it just folds out and then clamps you got to pull the pins first yeah probably there you go yeah see now you guys are cooking with peanut oil so you look at that there you go there you go alright I'll step on this side okay put the put put the pins back in you can tell we're really good at building things like really good basically just like a NASCAR pit crew with with all things especially especially trampolines Shane we already gave you grain what are you doing you eat it all already what if they don't like that hay on the ground we are having a hay theater getting built right now we're not building it so we have nowhere to build it I don't have a garage or a shop yet or anything else like that but we're having somebody build it you'll see pretty soon we're gonna have this really dope hay feeder for all these animals with then hope for the next week to talk alright I think we park should get a little protector thing because then they're gonna they're a little closer yeah here we go alright Hill can give it a few bounces on wreck believe in you go five boy yeah I mean it's made for humans Oh guy do a backflip or something buddy let's see alright well I was actually way easier than I thought well let's do what the ghosts think about it we're great we'll go in there I need check on the water supply anyway what up Dale we got you a present body happy freakin birthday my guy backup no no no animals oh I put it maybe over here where all the animals are otherwise I might take too long for them to get interested in it plop her on down who's gonna do jump on it first somebody like home is this grain no it's not Dale come on Dale Dale is never gonna break you so much wood beef kick oh can you guys show him how to do it Karen you're not looking thick anymore what happened yeah she might be she might still be pregnant we're not sure they all that jump up here hey hey up up really show them how it's done buddy deal right here come on up up there you go come on up here boeing-boeing Dale doesn't like his birthday gift I think the babies they're the ones that are gonna like it if anything they're not really the other ones on it look at that okay maybe that'll get them comfortable with it look at the little babies on the trampoline they're not using for trampoline but they are cute we could put it yeah I know else to put it yeah it's the only time that you problems when you're giving them some food well I mean that'll make them at least somewhat comfortable the odds are they actually use this thing I'm not really sure it can't hurt we could always put it we could always put it over there Oh Oh what mom okay I mean at the very least no climb on I mean that was a really expensive climbing object then if that's the case they're not gonna actually use it but look Karen oh there you go Karen start giving it a bounce there there jumping on it and jumping off of it oh look at even she the sheep's getting down on it it's getting down and dirty on that trampoline it's gonna scream the baby's gonna screaming I'm gonna go it's okay little guy leave this thing you're so cute I'm surprised or you ain't screaming oh yeah they got little horns right oh yeah it's okay Jill all right I say we'll get this out of the way here let's put in by their other jungle gym there that way they can bounce up top or something what do you think about that sheep come on down up here vamanos we go come on Dale give them the old one to show my son hooking yeah that's not relatable yeah that's relatable yeah yeah oh oh what's this guy doing Oh God Buttercup show us how it's done you let us down anyways we're gonna make sure they've got water they've definitely enough grain look at them marking these trees though look at this just eating all the bark off it look how much look at that cedar tree is almost completely completely gone they've just been absolutely hammering it but make sure that their bedding is looking good nope they still got plenty of hay getting out a few fresh bales still so they're doing good nice and dry Millie what do you think it's nice and dry in here they even bent look at that in their little mineral Rock it's almost gone he gave him like a big big mineral rock and he was eating the whole thing oh yeah this one's still good - I feel like they don't sleep in this one as much because there's not nearly as much poop no at least it's here for him in case they want it there you guys go some fresh water they were almost out of water they had a little bit left but they've been absolutely drinking a ton look at them all coming together train you guys thirsty after eating all that grain there's so many animals here crazy we're filling up their pool so look at this thing fill it up and make sure the chickens and ducks are good and then we're gonna be go building that survival shelter right now you guys can enjoy watching a bunch of animals drink some water shoo alright folks well everything got taken care if there was the chickens were all in the barn so I didn't really show you guys watch that Rick Phillipe lay there good to go boy we made down the pond as you guys can see Pond still dangling out there still got some brush piles out there and stuff like that that are just better just chilling there's still plenty ice but uh we're thinking we're gonna go down here this is a place we've done a lot of trapping down here we've got a lot of raccoons and possums but we haven't really I have personally walked that way but I mean my property goes a decent ways that way and we've never really filmed down there so we're gonna try going down there's also some really nice non cedar trees that we could use for the actual like structure of the bones of it and then the cedar trees we'll use the branches for as far as like the you know like the covering stuff like that we're not really doing anything super like game-changing we just wanted to build like a really cool shelter out here take the time we're not doing any survival videos or anything like that but just what is it gonna look like we've all survived a shelter in the backyard and we'll build a fire too that'll also be a challenge in and of itself because everything is clearly wet and snowing so we're gonna go ahead and grab all the tools we got some machetes so we've got an axe we've got some paracord and I think some some survival matches like some storm ashes and that's all we've got we're gonna see what we could bill so stay tuned alright Millie's going first see you later buddy oh there you go hi boys going down the best letting whoever did Oh buddy you don't even need a sled alright well children I tell and this is the creek what if we decided hey let's build let's dam this Creek up and make a back pond back here you know how like I'm like a lot of lakes and ponds I kind of have like a spillway so like we could what if we went down there and built a dam fill this up a few feet and like kept minnows and all the bait in here and then we can like throw cast nets to fish with because I mean it's pretty much doing nothing down here the creeks just flowing like a bill alone but it's not really doing a whole lot I don't know just random thought thoughts with thoughts with me I figured hey we'll do something with it I don't know what but it's a big mark like flat ground if we dammed it up this could be a pond I mean this is a whole nother pond back here honestly like I guess I'd have to get permission from somebody to do it even though it's my land I'm sure there's some type of regulations but think about this think if this was five six feet of water I mean the banks are high enough all the way around you fooled us all we could have a whole nother pond hooking we could really have a second pond back here why shouldn't we do yeah or you can make it like a duck hunting I don't know maybe I need a call like a wildlife person see what they think of the idea maybe that's a good idea maybe it's not good but I do know my pond is fed by Springs not like rainwater or or a creek it slurry naturally fed Springs so where it's not gonna run out of water it's like you've got this Creek then you got one that runs around and they all meet in the middle right back there I think my property's maybe hundred yards that way damn it up fill this whole thing up maybe have it like five six feet you could have bass in here what if we made it like a Pike Lake back here like you do some cool stuff man we're gonna get to surviving or something so we got to figure out step number one you got to figure out what kind of shelter you're gonna build and two what you're gonna use so we're gonna try doing a lean-to either one option is you lean one branch up against the living tree or you get two branches and then put a crossbar I don't like the crossbar as much it seems sketchy because it's just like resting on it versus the lean-to is just leaning and they can't really like collapse we need to find what tree we're gonna use for our I guess for our base that wouldn't be bad you're thinking put the cross across there go look at let's go look and see what this looks like over here well there's so many deer tracks around here this could have potential okay so what if what if you took a tree almost almost something like this and you went from one side to the other like that this is already a natural one I mean this is already I don't know is that cheating and it's already here what if you just leaned a bran like that's not school enough or there's one right here well there's a bunch of trees that would work for this this one's already set up look at that's exactly I'm talking about you going one and you lean it and then you lay all your branches up against it like this yeah a little funnel so we got options all right we'll figure this out and I'll let you know we decide well we've changed plants it took it took a little bit of brainstorming power here but what we've decided is instead of doing the lean-to instead of doing like a teepee or whatever we're going to make an actual Hut and it's gonna be big enough for all four of us that's the idea I don't want it to be just big enough for me to be big enough for everybody to come and maybe we do a 24 hour challenge in it like maybe if you guys like this video we come back and we you know have to hunt well hunting season is over we have to go catch some fish ice fishing bring them down here and eat them like we can do a whole survival video out here with the shelter if you guys really like it but what we're thinking is so you've got one two three four it's kind of makes a square right here just naturally we're thinking you get basically big tree branches you hook one up here through paracord it runs this way you go here I mean you go one there one there one there so you basically like frame it in then you take sticks in line up sticks all around the whole thing then you line up sticks all on the roof and then you cover the roof of cedar so yeah for example Bonsall has already got one he's a beefcake so basically you get that and you would just fasten that with power yeah about that height and you do that four times all the way around and then you lean everything up into basically oh I mean dude you could sleep four people in here no problem like we could easily do a whole survival video if you guys like this so we thought it'd be a lot more interesting instead of doing just a quick little BS little lean-to let's make an actual house that we could do a survival video in and like I said if you guys want us to comment down below maybe how many likes this video you have to get for us to do 24 hour challenge out here 50,000 if this video gets 50,000 likes we will come out here and do a 24 hour challenge where we bring no food no water look leave a creek right here that's nice clean water so you don't need water we also have snow and our food sources will be whatever nature provides which is gonna be fish if you guys want us to spend 24 hours out here in the woods with the shelter that we're gonna build comment down below also give this video like if it gets 50,000 likes we will do it promise pinky promise alright let's get to work all right so this is the first tree we're gonna wipe out this is gonna be part of the basket the frame that we're gonna use this thing should be able to be able to use it for at least two parts of the frame and then even these little limbs could be good for the stand-up pieces so we're gonna get to hack in here yes sir all right first tree down that'll work for this long piece so I'm gonna go ahead and start sharing awesome these limbs and get it ready you got a big chunk is easier yeah that might work for that once you shave it guys camera get trimmer up and we'll eat both wood pile over there starting with wood go she's clean as a whistle boy yeah let's cut it to length now yeah scoot it towards me to where like you know cuz it then no rest leave some leave a lip cuz then the other one will rest on this one you know what I mean yeah so is that about right all right drop her down whoa kids swole out here boys all right yeah you wanna come hold this side let's tie this one up all right let go oh god yeah it's holding it no I'll wrap it a little bit tighter yeah maybe like like use this or something like one of these two kind of okay I don't I don't know what this dots called but it's not braking test it everybody let enjoys a little sag I think it's gonna slide there's not really a branch to hang onto yeah all right look at this frame one so this is gonna be all the door right here so you're good we're gonna have like actual go grab hinges real quick and that pair course on a ton we didn't bring that much paracord though I definitely use way too much paracord on that so worst-case scenario I can cut that off and save some sweet what we don't use it for this cross one all right let's get the second part of the frame no all right let go oh that one's strong oh it's slipping a little bit it's fine now I think no you don't have to tie the other side we only got tie one more hooking went full beast mode he pulled out big chunk is tree we're gonna tie this one this meter this is the last one we gotta tie up the rest paracord could just be used for you know whatever whatever other things we got going on cut this thing once I know you're just a beast like that I'm just you talk to the Trini said hey sir can you please come down here yep I don't think that one's going nowhere either all right last last one so we put this one up that we're using yeah okay yeah we're framed up boys might need to tie this one up on us neither sides are tied it's a little wonky yeah we'll tie up the other side's but look at it we got a frame now this is gonna be our base see it's huge I mean oh say what almost 10 feet maybe like eight foot by 10 foot easily 8 by 10 she apartment action we got going on we're gonna have to rest these ends and then then the big work starts to come that's when we got to get at least a hundred sticks to disco line up the whole edge and hopefully not have to use my spare corks don't have any so we're gonna try to get them to cut to the right size to where we can just lean them and then we should be should be getting there it's gonna be interesting trying to start a fire too because everything is soaking wet but I think this place is gonna look good anyways enjoy the time-lapse hooking your drift woods tactic is not good we got murked I literally was finishing up tying listen well that happened well a little driftwood okay note self don't use rotted wood for this you can use some live trees and stuff probably better so we're gonna have to remake this hi we got another support beam I'm gonna put it up and then start collecting trees [Music] shit's coming along good boys slamming and hooking this might cut down some cedar trees so kind of what we've got going on here well this doesn't really mean anything these were weirdest place in this here but the front looks great we've got these really awesome cool-looking sticks that don't really serve a purchase purpose we just wanted it to look cool and then we've been stacking cedar on top so we've made these like basically these little pieces run across then you lay the cedar this way on top and basically like we're gonna keep stacking cedar to the point where you know it's fairly snow proof and then this is gonna be the entrance you walk in here and basically put the cedar kind of on the back and like a little bit on the sides we're not making this thing like bulletproof as far as snow and rain I mean you want it to be as good as it can be but I mean still look how spacious this is we got slamming hooking I mean like seriously you can sleep five six news in here we just got to throw a little bit more cedar up here a little bit cedar in the back and the sides were really not that worried about the sides because we're facing north this way so all the wind is gonna get blocked by the cedars and then all the snow is gonna land on this and said this is just for basically just to look cool and we're gonna leave these sides open for some good ventilation and stuff like that because it's not that cold I mean I'm just I'm just a nutty so again we're not making this thing bulletproof but it's pretty cool it's pretty big honestly like if you just if we if we if we would not got a chainsaw try now we've been using an axe all day and it sucks if we got it if yeah if we got a chainsaw and cut down a lot of cedar trees we could bring this whole thing I mean even Millie likes it in here like her it's big what did I say 8 by 10 that's 80 80 square feet not bad for a little 4 so we're gonna go ahead and keep working on brushing it in and I'm gonna get started on fire making at least prep getting some dry tinder getting some dry sticks and trying to get a fire going for us before dark what do you think you down with this you want to go 24 hour challenge in this thing I could see you got to come along remember who made the bet we said 50,000 likes you shook on it did you not I saw I saw you shake I know if you guys saw her shake but we shook on it so she's got to come with us for the world 24 hour challenge but we're gonna get keep going back to work and see if we can get some dry stuff going a little fire building and then we're gonna be done and then hopefully if you guys give us enough love down in the comments and on the like button hit in 50 K well come spend the night in this thing so stay tuned oh I mean hello how well it's gonna light but you know this is the dry stuff we got buddy I don't have any more options you got the uh you're gonna have a little machete real quick all right so here comes fire building well we're gonna try doing it you want it conovan front of your shelter you don't want to in X you don't with the smoke what you wanna get the heat so you're gonna want to kind of this entrance area good take the back of this kind of just dig out a little hole here so you've got a nice little base to lay the logs and everything good enough the other thing that I learned you need some either pine or cedar but you basically build your fire on a branch that way action get below it you don't want it on the snow so let me go chop a cedar branch off real quick all right no see you're looking kind of bushy stuff mili what do you think you like it alright Oh so I'm cut off couple these branches here maybe like five or six and that'll be the kind of like the base for our fire so once you get your branches cut them basically to like the width of your fire so my fire is not gonna be four feet wide so we're gonna give these guys a little trimming can you take your branch just light it like that you want to fill this up have a nice bed for your fire to stay dry and hopefully we'll get it to light all right pack your bed down so this would be I mean fairly dry it's not it's not wet it's not as wet snow but uh fairly dry that's it we gotta start chopping some wood this stuff which hey you know only it's the greatest wood but it's kind of like a rotted rotted out dead wood which Millie I don't I don't know where else we're gonna get any dry firewood around here so I think we're gonna have to kind of shave some of this off and you know see if we get it to light can you scoop please you're kind of like you're kind of like right where we're at with the fire so you got it kind of a little bundle kindling nothing crazy but you know little little shavings like this this is what you're gonna want and you press it and use your knee as a base cuz you know you can cut it look so we're gonna do for today so just nice thin shavings this is what's gonna help get your fire started all right perfect that's enough kindling I'd say so now I need some bigger bigger logs sorry me like I told you were in the way the fire all right so these aren't too bad is it work all right so we'll get a few more of these and then receiving it this thing to light all right so now we've got little pieces award tokens chopping up more work for me we're gonna try and even get this whole thing to lie it's gonna be a pretty good sized fire in the beginning yeah yeah yeah dang guy will you chop wood on the side for a living yeah your side hustle must be chopping wood yes we got basically gonna make a little birds nest here that's all a little kindling thing and what I've got to start us no I don't have a flint excuse me these are old even got a little little fluff edge right there these are storm proof matches basically it's watertight seal so I keep this officially I pulled us out of my truck I keep this in my truck at all times Casey I rest our fire it's waterproof you know you can throw this in the water bring it out says storm proof matches so we're gonna see if we get to work with one if not I'll show you a trick you throw a bunch of these together and then you light one and put it in there but it stuff feels pretty damp tbh so we'll see if this works rip oh wow it works oh not what I expected yeah lots of smoke it's not a good sign thanks thanks thanks Ranger Rick I can I can handle it hang on oh yeah I'm on oxygen duty it's what this stuff is wet boys it's gonna be a little tough we are having lots of trouble I'm gonna try one more time and then we need to go find see it's still smoking but it's like it's just it needs to be dried out and try one more time there's not really any other dry stuff I know how about we will start fires in the winter I don't understand all those suckers down there [Music] there they go here they go where they go come on come on well that's good fire there stay lit that's a good fire come on Oh God I gather my eyes there we go oh the power ripping okay I keep throwing some logs up dry them all out these things are soaked the key is oxygen and making sure your woods dry which we've don't have dry wood but we've got oxygen do this grass doesn't even light up what is the deal in this crap there it goes even this grass this crap we're getting it now though I'm just gonna keep I'm gonna I'll show you right here I'll keep taking some of this wood like shavings like this and just sprinkle it this stuff will keep the fire going while the wood dries out it's going now this grass is going pretty good just keep building to keep adding it it's going pretty good under there just make sure you always keep feeding it oxygen but by putting all those the cedar branches under there keeps ticking fire elevated so oxygen is able to kind of get from all directions yeah we'll see if we can get these twigs so I [Music] freaking fire gods out here boys it's working so you can see all this wood starting to dry out and just making kind of a teepee shaped deal out of this wood they'll slowly dry out as long as I've got a little bit of flame let it dry out keep feeding it and eventually all these sticks will burn up and create heat so if we were in a survival situation we'd have at least a heat source for the night place to cook food yes sir starting to catch [Music] [Music] [Music] you look at this well while the fire was burning we went in collected more cedar trees we covered this side again it's not completely storm proof but I mean the whole 360 the backside we got covered up enough you know a little bit I mean oh god you just chopped a few more down but if you guys do any know anything about shopping I mean take some time I'll tell you that much we are gassed and when did it we're ready to go get some food we didn't even eat lunch today we skipped it so even now you're working but look at the boys playing they're playing singing Kumbaya in there boys look at you guys you guys enjoy the little timeless Oh fireworks I mean everything burnt we didn't really build it too big what is oh this is great look how big this is easily like this is but this is good Meili what do you think bug you want to do 24 hours you tell them folks hit the like button my hands are like button yup see Millie hit it so that means you guys need hit as well 50 K and we will do a survival challenge in here 24 hours or we don't bring any food or water and we got to try to survive and we'll make maybe in that video we'll make this a little bit better cut some more trees down and stuff but for now we build a survival shelter in the backyard I'm pretty happy with it it's ever the biggest most sophisticated shelter that we've ever built for sure I mean it's a hut you could imagine deer hunting in this you're sat here in this so you could shoot out of anywhere this don't move yeah anyways hope you guys enjoyed today's video thank you for tuning in catch you guys the next one peace [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
