:** 🏕️ Alone in the Wild: Building a REED NEST Shelter Above Water | Bushcraft Survival in the Trees 🌿
**Description:**
Watch as I tackle one of my most challenging bushcraft builds yet—**a floating reed nest shelter** perched above water, woven entirely from nature’s bounty! 🌾💧 In this video, stranded alone in a remote wetland, I rely on ancient survival skills to construct a waterproof, elevated refuge using reeds, vines, and fallen branches. Will this fragile-looking nest hold up against the elements? Let’s find out!
🔥 **What’s in this video?**
✅ Step-by-step **reed shelter construction** (no modern tools!)
