    I probably won't get around to building until next week, so feel free to revise your concession speech.

    Oldest granddaughter has birthday party tomorrow, so you know what takes precedence. :p

    OK, lets get things rolling
    tools used: Becker BK29, ESEE 6HM, Corona folding saw, 40oz Hydroflask full of coffee.
    this is the building site and skeleton of my first debris shelter -- made from deadfall and cattails. It did not survive a pasture fire very well.
    [​IMG]
    site cleared, a couple of trees bent into an arch and tied together with mil-surp "marking cord" (spool of cord on top left side stuck on a branch - NOT TP)
    [​IMG]
    covered with juniper branches
    [​IMG]

    top layer of pasture grass - hand cut -- LOTS of hand cutting.

    [​IMG]

    I kept adding grass until I could no longer see daylight from inside -- then I added a bit more.
    grass was about 1' thick mat when added, then tamped down to about 6" thick.

    total time invested about 2.5-3 hours.
