Watch: Hard-Working Woman Builds a Bugout Camp

Building something in the woods, mostly from hunks of trees that you find there, isn’t really easy to do. Most men would hesitate to take on that sort of project unless it was absolutely necessary, but this woman really gets to work!

She takes down an old wall, builds a new one, and builds a sleeping shelter off to one side. Along the way there’s plenty of chopping, sawing, and pounding, all of which she seems perfectly comfortable with.

This might give you some ideas for constructing a shelter in the boondocks, should the need ever arise.

In the end, she enjoys playing some guitar by a roaring campfire while sitting on the decidedly un-cushy (but sturdy) bed she has constructed of logs.

Nice!
