290,000 strong and it still feels unreal 🌲

What started as a simple love for the outdoors, bushcraft, and building something real has grown into a community of 290,000 people who appreciate the same quiet moments, hard work, and time spent outside.

Nature Daddy has never been about perfection or trends. It’s about learning by doing, building shelters that last, reading the land, and respecting the places that give us so much.

Every comment, share, message, and conversation keeps this page moving forward, and it honestly wouldn’t exist without the people here.

Thank you for following along, supporting the journey, and being part of this community. There’s a lot more still to build, explore, and learn together 🔥🌲

Most people wouldn’t even start this build… would you? 👀🌲

No plans, no shortcuts, just raw materials and time in the bush.

This is the kind of project that tests patience, problem solving, and whether you actually trust your skills when conditions change.

Every step forces a decision, and every decision shows up later when the weather turns.

Be honest, would you take this on yourself, or walk away before the first log goes up?

In this clip, Les Stroud from Survivorman breaks down why the Sasquatch question won’t go away. 🌲👣

He points to something that’s hard to ignore, over 1,000 cultures around the world describe a large, upright, human like creature in almost the same way. No shared language, no shared borders, yet the stories line up.

Les isn’t saying he has proof, but he does challenge the idea that all of this can be brushed off as coincidence or imagination. When people separated by oceans describe the same thing, it raises real questions.

Is it possible that something is out there we don’t fully understand yet, or do you think there’s a more grounded explanation behind the legends? 🤔❄️

There’s something timeless about stacking stone and building a fire where land meets water.

We used what the shoreline gave us to shape a solid rock firepit, low, wind protected, and built to hold heat without overthinking it.

Simple materials, smart placement, and letting the surroundings do the work makes all the difference out here 🌊🔥

This kind of fire isn’t about speed, it’s about choosing the right rocks, respecting the shoreline, and building something that feels like it belongs.

When you build a firepit by the water, what matters more to you, wind protection or heat reflection? 👀🌲

Working back at the bushcraft shelter cabin and tackling two big things that have been on the list for a while.

The roof got rebuilt to handle real weather and real seasons, no shortcuts.

And yes, after many comments, the door is finally hung on proper hinges 🚪🔥
It’s a small detail, but it completely changes how the shelter feels and functions.

Every trip out here is about improving what already exists and learning what actually holds up over time.

When you’re building a shelter meant to last, what would you prioritize first, a solid roof or a tight door? 👀❄️

Breaking trail through snow, unlocking the door, and stepping back into a place that’s been standing on its own all season.

Frozen air, quiet woods, and that moment where you see what held up, what shifted, and what winter really tested.

A shelter tells its story after months of cold, snow load, and zero maintenance. This is where you learn if the build was done right. 🔥

When you come back to a shelter after winter, what’s the first thing you look at, the roof, the dryness inside, or how the door held up? 👀

The Very Beginning of the Bushcraft Shelter 🌲🪵

This was the start of it all, posts in the ground and the basic roof frame going up.

No walls yet, no comfort, just a clear idea and a lot of work ahead.

Building a cabin had always been a dream of ours, so about three years ago we decided to stop talking about it and actually start.

Slow weekends, learning as we went, and figuring things out one piece at a time.

What started as a simple frame in the bush has turned into one of our favourite places and one of the most rewarding projects we’ve ever taken on.

Looking back at this stage always reminds us why starting is the hardest and most important part.

Have you ever started a long project that turned into something way bigger than you expected? 👀🔥

Wide open water, cold air, and that throttle down feeling as the Zodiac skips across the lake.

No roads, no rush, just getting to the fishing spot the fun way and soaking in the scale of the place.

Trips like this are as much about the ride as they are about the fish.

Do you prefer a calm cruise or full speed across the lake when you’re heading out to fish? 👀🎣

Snow packed deep around the shelter, frozen timber, and that quiet stillness you only get in the heart of winter.

Moments like this show why building slow and building right matters when the cold really settles in.

Mid-winter is when a shelter really gets tested.

Deep snow, frozen timber, and that quiet cold that settles into everything.

Cracking the door and stepping back inside shows what held up, what shifted, and why building for real seasons matters out here.

A small fire, dry wood, and suddenly the cabin starts breathing again.

This is the moment the shelter earns its keep, not in comfort, but in conditions.

What do you think matters most in a winter shelter, heat retention, roof strength, or airflow? 👀🌲

Alone is one of the few survival shows that actually respects real bushcraft, real endurance, and real isolation 🏕️🔥

Dropped into remote wilderness with limited gear, no crew, and no help, it’s just skill, mindset, and how long you can outlast the environment. Hunger, cold, loneliness, and mistakes all compound fast, and the land always wins eventually.

The show started with a simple but brutal concept, survive longer than everyone else, completely alone. No challenges, no teams, no safety net beyond the emergency call. What makes it even more impressive is how the format has stayed true to that idea season after season.

Huge respect to the survivors from Season 1. They went in with no blueprint, no past seasons to study, and no idea how hard the mental game would really be. They built the foundation for everything that came after.

Looking back now, which season do you think was the most difficult overall? And who was your favourite survivor to watch across the series? 👀🔥
