Thanks you for watching this video. In the meantime I have designed my own survival knife which you can find at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/shop Thank you so much for your support

Your dog's joy at being in the woods is so much fun to see! Running, digging, smelling- just being a dog, free without a leash is a happy sight.

Thanks, nice video. My great great grandfather was Lakota. My grandfather taught me much. I knapped arrowheads, built bows and arrows, speared and fished and trapped since a small boy. I built a wikiup in northern vermont, usa on a beaver lake in the 1980's. I lived in it most of the winter while trapping. For insulation, I put a plastic tarp over the framework, covered with some hemlock bows. I then purchased 5 bales of straw from a nearby farmer. I fluffed the straw over the entire shelter. It was more than 2 feet thick. I then put a plastic sheet over the top which came to a coule feet above the ground. I then covered with more hemlock bows and then brush and leaves. The walls were abour 4 feet thick when finished. I built an igloo type entrance with sheep skin doors at each end. A gas lantern kept it so warm that even when the temp was -20 some nights I didn't need a jacket. Every year, more leaves would cover it and it blended in perfectly with the surroundings. This wikiup lasted me 6 years, until the land was sold. Who knows, it may still be there as it just looked like part of the hill.

put a camera on that dog and give it a channel of its own

Lilly, you were years ahead of giving people the skills they really need nowadays! Kudos!

that ending DEMANDS a sequel!

Another great video and so much work. Dax is wonderful. I love that we got to see some snow on the ground in your beautiful country. Great sense of humour Lilly -- Keep them coming please. very enjoyable.

"RAWR fuck this tree!"

I love that your dog chips in! Is she trained to uproot trees suitable for building structures? :D

Does you dog ever roll in dead stinky stuff and then come back to you all stinky and happy?

Badass dog. Ripping out trees. :D

Love her tenacity making the shelter alone and i am also so facinated with her dog. It knows how to entertain itself.

Good to see the dog helping to collect materials! xD

I love that dog. "OMG DIRT! DIRT DIRT DIRT!! OMG I LOVE DIRT!! HOLY SH*T LOOK MOAR DIRT!!!"

Definitely not her first rodeo! Love the dog! Notice her concentration! No wasted movement, energy! I love it!

Oh my God he felled a sapling! hahahahaha. That took a lot of work no joke, well done good perseverance Lilly, you're a shelter building machine; impressive.

LOL That dog is killing me, I can't stop laughing at it, and now to see it chew a tree right out of the ground, that's brilliant .. a bushcrafting dog. #SuperRevRob

That dog of yours is a digging maniac! I'll bet your backyard looks like the surface of the moon.

That was great Lilly! There's nothing like a little humor to make the world go round!!

Thanks for the terrific video. Hey, Lilly, this old Grandpa compliments your sense of humor and your ladyship, for giving all us guys great expectations, then leaving us with anticipation.

hahaha it was so cute, your dog was trying to help too. Pulled that sampling out easily.

am i the only one watching her vids just because the dog is so funny?

That giggle at the end of the video. Love it. haha

More than anything I enjoy watching your dog , Nothing makes a dog happier than running and playing in nature , I bet you have to bathe him after every episode :)

I love your dry sense of humor and...I want to go camping with you! Heehee!!!

I think this video is one of the video that really made your channel great. Your dog is really doing his part in this one too.

Stumbled across one of your older videos. This was awesome to watch. The great thing about you taking your dad's dog, Dax, with you on your trips is that he lives on in your videos. ;) I laughed so hard when he uprooted that tree while you were trying to cut the other one down! Good dog, good dog!

Lilly I love your since of humor. Great video and shelter. You are one of my favorite people on KZfaq.

Are there any weed plants in that forest cuze your dog might have eaten some

Good job on the shelter. I am sure you are aware that more material is needed to block all daylight coming through the shelter. These shelters are very time consuming and much materials needed, so I respect the amount of work you put into it. It really depends on the type of environment and weather, on how much debris is needed on the outside. I live in Alberta, Canada where temperatures can dip to -30 all the way to -60 Celsius. I would need minimum 2 feet thick of debris around my shelter in those conditions.

Love the dog! Looks like he is having so much fun!

HAHA! Your Dad's dog is so helpful, around; 0:06 he decides to jump in and help you break down a tree. While you cut one down - he pulled one out with the roots and all. That's a great dog!!

Dax was helping you pull up trees! lol

Love that dog, point out a tree you want and let him dig it up.

You tease! I love it, all the things I've said in other videos, plus a sense of humor. Awesome lady.

Lilly, My quickest shelter from scratch, is based upon the Plains Lakota sweatlodge frame of willow saplings, butt ends dug into the ground in a circle, then bent and tied in place. Unlike a sweatlodge, I use plastic tarps to cover it, (to shed the P.N.W. rain) rather than the traditional Bison hides or wool blankets. Once done with frame and cover, I dig a "trench" of about 2' depth, (saving the excavated dirt for later) and wide enough for a "bed". Then outside, I heat up rocks, to be placed in the trench, and covered with the saved dirt or sand.This is the base for whatever bedding that I have on hand, (I favor wool "trappers blankets" or a bedroll). Makes for a quick, snug, trappers camp, when I'm traveling light on the move through back country in the American west, or Alaska.

your dog has such a joy for life!!! it is so cute to watch him play!!

I can already see me pulling down on the branches like you did 2 mins in and smacking the shit out of my face or testes

I LOVE YOUR TIPS!! I'm hoping that one day I will be living out in the wilderness with your wisdom.

I aspire to have the level of happiness that dog has

Good job! With all the shelters you have built so far. You must have your own subdivision by now. ;-)

Forests, bushcraft, nature in general. And a sweat lodge/sauna and rolling in the snow? Are you sure you aren't at least a little bit Finnish?

Very cool, great job! Also love to see your happy friend rolling in the leaves.

At 4:31 that dog is like...hey you forgot to build me a doggy door.lol🐶

some of the comments on this are just stupid at least this girl is out there making shelters and practicing her skills and filming these videos WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY ? keep up the awesome work lily

HI there from CANADA. Thank you for the laughter. Well actually it was the dogs ability to pull down a tree faster than you could saw. Love the primative shelter and i am considering designing such a shelter that is permanent that captures the general idea of a stone age hut shared by your video. CHEERS !

I love your videos! Learning a lot and that ending made me lol. Love your dog... He always looks like he's having so much fun it makes me smile. 😀

I just love watching your dog have fun while you do all the work. :D

I dearly adore your dog. He is really something. :)

I think the dogs getting possessed at 4:27

4:40 is hilarious, I love how your dog does that roll, one of my old cats did the same thing :). Love the shelter, very nice, I can't wait to try this when I go camping next year.

Lilly, there's my hero, digging and pulling up a tree as fast as you can cut one

0:28 your german/Bavarian :) didn't knew that ;) cause you sound like an real british/american women + your dog is rlly so cute and amazing! my dog would propably run away >_> and then she will never find me again =_= and i would cry for months.... + your tutorials are very helpful and amazing!! it will help me and my friend a lot for the Tomb Raider Camp week in a forest....very very deep in a forest, i hope we will find out again :) but we will go next week so

30 seconds into the video... Wow, that dog is amazing!

Your dog is the best ! He or she has a great personality , always waging a tale and rolling around like a pig in mud ! Hilarious !!! Very beautiful piece of land you have there. I'd be out in the woods too if I had that to grow up on. Beautiful !

Dax is helping you! Cute! He's always so happy to be out in the woods with you! :D

keep it up sister you have bigger balls then alot of those pansies out there ..... you have great skills :)

video should be called "amazing dog recruited to be lumberjack"

that dog is amazing he was helping her at the beginning

these videos really show you're sense of humor they are excellent

Give the girl a break, do you or can you do what she's doing? She's what most of you aren't ,, ACTIVE..

Excellent vid Lilly, pity your battery went flat though hehe...

First thing to have is the dog! He is the fun part of all this work! Interesting survival video.

👌 Dam good Hut... I knew it was going to be as soon as I see the frame.... great job... thank you

your dog is as happy as they come. great video. how long did it take to make this hut?

I don't know why you bothered taking an axe and folding saw, your dog seemed to be doing a pretty good job felling saplings for you. Just think, I had a dog that wouldn't even fetch a stick I threw, and you've got one that's trained as a lumberjack. P.S. ALWAYS carry spare batteries. :D

Dax cracks me up. It's funny the way he just shows up in the scene digging or rolling or just being himself. Sometimes I think he is a camera hound.

Hadn't seen this one before. Loved lily's humour at the end!

that dogs just having the time of his life!

And while you wait, my dog will now do an interpretive dance on the ground called, "Earthworm in my bowl." :D

OMG! I'm probably not the only one who is watching the dog! That's really cute! It makes me crack up 😂❤️💋

Modest, independent, hard working, thorough and passionate. The perfect kinda camping gal. Respect Lilly!

need to give your dog his very own KZfaq channel ...

Damn batteries...

Well done.I'm glad you showed the limbs popping out of the ground and how you fixed it

Nice video! I know the natives who lived in my area of Wisconsin made shelters like this. They may have used hides to cover them in addition to needle leaf tree branches.

Dog = high asf 24/7

:20 The most enthusiastic dog on youtube

HI Lilly, I just discovered your channel. Your dog really seems to be enjoying your outings together. He's a lucky boy.

Iv'e watched alot of your video's and i really enjoy them ! Keep them coming . I too have built these huts many times and they were always great shelters.

The basic structure is good coverage is useless you see the light if it sees the light also passes through the rain survival? does that mean? perhaps you have a knife or an ax, but you will never have a backpack full of tools, twine and ropes excuse my English is not good but I do not speak English, I translated with google translator, ciao Alfonso.

I had no idea that Austria is such a beautiful country, had such an awesome dog, or such an educated and fine looking woman that likes to get outside and actually do something resourceful. The U.S. is beautiful and there are some awesome dogs here too, but the women here are nothing like Lilly. : (

Hahahaha...that dog showed you how its done...what a great helper...that was hilarious...good job

Lilly you did a great job on that shelter.

I lived in the stone ages and we used caves for shelter

the freaking dog is awesome

i'm going to go that for a deer blind next year great idea. really good info Lilly, thanks

I really like that you do not have music in the background. The sounds of nature is the best background music.

What a tease

i just need 20 wood and 10 villagers... (#ageofempires1)

Loved that ending!! Appreciate your sense of humor!! :)

this is my first night running across your video's and i must say, they are great. good information that might save your life if you need it, or just good fun in the forest, either way, it has been a pleasure watching you, and your sense of humor is amusing as hell, , thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Oh, you built a Stone Age Hut? Sorry, I didn't realise, I was watching the dog the entire time!

Kids nowadays be like: its an Iphone 6 but i wanted 6+ Dogs be like: DIRT DIRT OMFG YES DIIIRT!!!

What an incredible little hut

That dog is awesome and you are very cheeky... nice project for the kids...

and where do i find 6 kilograms of rope... lol

God dammit why did you stop the video there??

I love how you make things because of you I'm building my own bush craft shelter so thanks so much on all the tips

Great finish love it !!!!
