It is difficult to find natural materials in the birch forest in winter, from which you can make a bushcraft canopy and hide from the rain. But I was lucky and I found 2 trees that fell after a strong wind. I easily took the bark from these trees for my woodwork. I cut each layer of bark to the desired size using a saw.

The canopy must be high, so I made a small wooden ladder. Thus, I easily climbed higher and tied the frame with ropes.

For a bushcraft hammock, I tied the bending branches with a rope, and then stretched them, forming the shape I needed. Then I twisted the hammock frame with thin wooden twigs.

My ready shelter can be described as easy woodwork, although it took a long time to prepare the bark for the canopy and weave the hammock.

In general, my one day camp in the forest can be called successful because the canopy did not leak when it rained heavily in evening. I hope my primitive skills will be useful to someone. I tried very hard to make my bushcraft shelter nice and functional.
