Like I said a few days ago, Cloak and I are were going to finish our shelter.

We did that today. A whole heck load of chopping... I meant a lot of chopping.

In fact we did so much chopping that took a Clif Bar Break. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Next we needed to chop some more wood.

Cloak found a good sized dead branch. He needed to climb up the tree to chop it down.

Here he goes chopping...

After chopping we set up more logs onto the frame.

Here's Cloak setting one up.

Almost finished setting up the logs.

After finding enough logs to place against the frame, we started to put foliage to cover the shelter.

We also happened to have made a side entrance.

The shelter was finally finished. It was rather comfortable and very spacious. I had a good amount of head room and enough room to fit at least 6-8 people, maybe more.

The weather was still spontaneous. Good thing Cloak brought a tarp. We were able to keep all of our gear out of the rain, snow, and hail.
