The original location in my backyard to be used for shelter building. This was from some recently cut down trees that were rolled together.
I used the trees and existing stump as two walls, with the stump adding support for the "roof". Next I laid an addition of sticks and leaves and evergreen branches on top that were found around the yard.
Addition of an 8 x 8 plastic tarp with leaves on top. After some experimentation I decided that a layer of sticks first would work as a small frame, then putting the tarp on top would "seal" things down. On top of the tarp I could put leaves for further insulation.
Finished! Nice and roomy :^)
If I were to restart, I would make a crosshatch of the sticks and branches to have a sturdier frame. I would also create/insulate a better base with mud and tree bark. Overall I believe that this shelter was functional, but would need to be worked on over a longer period of time to be used for longer.
