Over 9-months and 30 days of actual work, this man built a 2m x 2m (6.5 x 6.5 feet) hut using these naturally primitive tools; and all natural materials.
The tools included:
- a digging stick for digging
- a stone hand ax to chop wood
- fire sticks to make fire
- clay pots to carry water
Natural materials used were:
- wood for the frame
- vine and cane for lashings
- mud for walls
The paper bark roof sits at a 45-degree angle and the bed takes up about half of the interior space. Leaves were used for thatch but started to rot after about four months. An outdoor fireplace with a chimney (to reduce smoke) was built for the structure. The shelter is small and cozy with enough room to store tools if needed t protect them from the elements.
