Looks cozy.

 

[MaineMountainMan]

Very cool... Making skills like this fun and second nature for kids is a great way to keep them prep'd

they wanted to sleep out tonite!

 

[FLsurvivalist]

That is great! That is some true quality time with the kids.

A tip, if you have your log on the other side of the fire,it will help reflect heat back into the shelter:thumb:

Looks good especially after you finish thatching it. It is so important to make that first experience for the kids one that they will remember as pleasant so don't be shy on the thatching and heat reflector and the hot chocolate maybe even some smores?
Enjoy!

That looks awesome. I may try that in a couple weeks when I go camping.

 

[Brosia]

excellent skill to teach them.


though I must admit when I read the title, I thought you were headed out to the woods to get drunk...:

 

[Ramona M. Faunce]

Is this shelter a temperary shelter? Will the needles eventually fall off and leave space for the wind/rain to enter?

I think it is a wonderful day that you and your kids are having. I especially like the idea of the fire and hot chocolate.

over here bender is slang for a homosexual so theres much s******ing and laughter at the title here!

 

[Brimasmom]

While I am very impressed with your bender, I'm more impressed with the sight of you and your little ones working together. You're good people, Fish.

I really think it is great you teaching your boys such cool and useful things. To many parents let video game, and cable television raise their childeren. I have been teaching my three year old surval stuff already. Kids are very reseptable at early ages as long as you make it fun for them.
We have to remember that our children will be the ones that inherit the mess we have made so we need to prepare them.:thumb::thumb:

 

[Crutch]

You're a good dad!

Amen. Keep it up my friend. :thumb:
