Building an A-Frame Shelter - Part 2 - Repurposing Junk Metal

#bushcraft #scrapmetal #aframe
Getting down to business in this one. On the way to Fernbark Forest I find and repurpose a nice piece of junk scrap metal that worked out nicely as a fire pit. It will be much safer to have a good campfire in the pine forest. Right in the middle of adding rib poles to the main supports a heavy rain storm hit giving me no choice but to seek cover as best I could. After the rain passed I fired up the metal firepit and had a nice fire to break it in.

Looking back at footage from this day I see how flawed the tarp position is. I will be adjusting the tarp to utilize its full size. It doesn't need to go all the way down to the ground because of the slightly raised floor that will go inside the shelter. I will center the tarp on both sides and suspend it below the shelter supports in order to fully extend the length of it giving me more covered space. I will have to re-do all the rib poles with more length.

I can not wait to get back out there and fix the issue and continue work on the A-frame shelter. Thank you for watching!
