I Built a Stone Survival Shelter to Survive Winter

Описание: My old shelter was freezing me to death. So today, I’m tearing it down and building a stone fortress that can survive any blizzard. The goal is simple: thick stone walls to block the wind. I’m gathering hundreds of rocks from the hillside. For the big ones, I chisel them flat so they stack tight and lock together. But rocks have gaps, so I need mortar. I’m mixing dirt, water, and dry grass to create "cob." It’s nature’s cement. I’m using this to build a heavy-duty fireplace and chimney integrated right into the wall. This clay chimney is the heart of the home. Once it dries, it’ll suck all the smoke out and radiate heat back in. A quick fire test proves the draft is perfect. Now for the roof. I’m laying down sturdy pine logs and a tarp, but that’s not enough. I’m burying the roof in pine needles and dirt for insulation. Do you think this will hold the weight of the snow? Let me know in the comments. Security matters. I’m installing a solid wooden door with a custom wire hinge. Inside, I’m building a raised bed platform. You never want to sleep directly on the cold ground—it steals your body heat. To make it airtight, I’m patching every single crack in the walls with mud. No drafts allowed. I even paved the front porch—gotta keep it classy in the wild. Fast forward to winter. The snow is deep, and the temperature has plummeted. The shelter looks like a buried igloo. First mission: dig out the front door and get inside. I need fuel fast. I’m sawing high branches to keep the fire roaring. Once that chimney heats up, the whole stone room turns into an oven. Survival doesn't mean suffering. I’m searing a thick steak right on the coals, seasoned to perfection. Added some fresh veggies and bread—this beats a fancy restaurant any day. With a full belly and a warm fire, the blizzard outside doesn't matter anymore. This is the ultimate winter escape.
