Built a Hidden Nest Shelter Inside a Reed Field – With a Woven Round Door

🌾 In this survival project, I build a fully woven shelter inside a dense reed field, creating a natural nest-like home with a round circular door crafted entirely from reeds. Surrounded by tall, waving grass and hidden deep inside the meadow, this shelter blends completely into the landscape, offering stealth, protection, and a unique survival experience.

🛖 The construction begins with gathering long, flexible reeds, selecting the strongest stalks for the frame and the softer ones for weaving. I create a rectangular base and gradually curve the walls inward, forming the shape of a giant nest. The most challenging part is crafting the round door—woven tightly into a circular frame that fits perfectly into the entrance, giving the shelter a distinctive, natural look.

🎍 Reeds become both the structure and insulation, keeping the shelter warm, breathable, and surprisingly sturdy. I reinforce the frame using forest wood and natural lashings, ensuring the nest can withstand wind and movement within the field. Inside, I create a small living space for fire, cooking, and resting, using only natural materials gathered from the forest and riverside.

🔥 Throughout the video, I demonstrate essential survival skills—fire-making, water collection, cooking simple meals, and maintaining a hidden shelter in an open environment. Living inside a reed nest creates a unique experience: the sound of the wind moving through the tall grass, the isolation, and the strong sense of being completely hidden from the outside world.

🌿 This build is perfect for anyone who enjoys bushcraft, natural shelter construction, primitive skills, and environmental creativity. The circular door, woven by hand, adds a special touch that sets this shelter apart from typical survival builds.
