Okay! Added some more debris to the hut. I noticed how nice the gods are for making living things green and dead things brown. It's alot easier to find debris that way. Sorry if the photos are too dark. I took them just before I left. Sooner or later I'll be sleeping in this. So far it's taken about six hours to build. Hopefully, I be able to pick up the pace with practice.

Last night I did some more work on the debris hut. My wife and youngest went with me this time. I searched far and wide for loose bark on fallen trees. I developed a sense of thanks to the fallen trees for the offering of their bodies. I also realized that just because a tree may be "dead" it's still full of life - Beatles, termites, ants, spiders. Covered in moss and fungus. I noticed how I had become part of the decomposing process through separating the bark from the tree.

One of my plans this year is to learn more primitive skills. The reason I want to do this is because I beleive it will help me and my surrounding community if I know these things if disaster strikes. On April first, my friend Korey and I started to make a debris hut. Here are some pics taken the next day.
