In a tough situation, a really tough situation, with little to no resources, would you know what to do? I think after you watch this video, you'll be able to tap into those survivor instincts and understand how our primitive ancestors survived without the modern comforts we do. With no tools or resources, one survival expert managed to build an entire hut out of vines, fronds, and saplings. The only tool he used was created by Mother Nature: a stone axe.
The expert wrote in the description:
“I built this thatched dome hut on a mountain ridge using completely primitive tools and materials. The frame was 2.5 m in diameter and 2 m tall. It was made from 8 thin saplings 2.75 m long, the thatching material was split palm fronds, and vine was used for tying it all together. A stone hand axe was used to chop the saplings and a sharp stone flake was used to cut fronds. The pointed dome profile is halfway between a spherical dome and a ti-pi. This shape sheds rain and funnels smoke effectively while still providing a large inner volume. A moat was dug around the hut to drain water away. As an afterthought, I planted sweet potatoes and taro around the moat to hopefully provide some food later on.”
He said he built the hut over the course of three mornings at a casual pace. So the next time you wonder if you’ll make it if you get stranded in the woods, just remember a few of the tips from this video!
