I try to avoid using cordage when constructing a debris shelter due to the value of that cordage. A few simple design/construction principles can completely remove the need to use cordage.
In this short video I demonstrate using a couple of ‘Y’ shaped sticks and how to interlock them to provide structural integrity.
We spend time looking at interlocking supports on a debris shelter on our 2 Day Bushcraft Course, 5 Day Bushcraft Course, as well as the IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate course.
You can see photos from all these, and all of our other courses, on our Facebook page.
