How to build a hut in the forest with your own hands? For experienced commercial hunters this is not difficult. People who are passionate about their work or favorite pastime build cozy and warm houses in the deep forest with everything they need to spend the night along the route or even stay for some time if an unforeseen situation occurs.
Peculiarities
Any commercial hunter who has a plot of forest at his disposal sets up a network of winter huts. Usually the network consists of a main hut, where you can live permanently, and small winter huts, in which you can spend the night along the route. Therefore, the distance between winter huts should be equal to one day's march.
The main purpose of a hunter's hut is a roof over your head and strong walls that can protect you from severe frost, angry blizzards, torrential winds (a common option for insulating walls with moss is shown in the figure below) and the dangers of the night taiga (including bears, so you need to think about additional protection house). There is always some food in the winter hut long-term storage and a supply of firewood for a week. The doors in such houses are not closed so that every hunter, forester, mushroom picker or tourist who gets lost in the taiga can survive in harsh conditions.
By the way, not only hunters live in small huts, but also hermits or indigenous peoples of the north, who know how to build a hut in the forest very quickly. More often, of course, it is commercial hunters who are engaged in the construction of winter huts.
Preparing the site for construction
How to build a winter hut in the forest with your own hands? First of all, you need to pay attention to finding a suitable place to build a house. The main enemies of the hunting base are people and bears. It is desirable that the house be generally accessible only to the person who built it, or at most to his immediate circle (friends, relatives).
You need to build in a secluded place. The hut should not be located on the river bank, on a path or road, the house should not be visible from vehicles passing nearby. So, a remote area is required. Separately, you need to take into account the visibility of the space depending on the presence or absence of foliage on the trees. The listed rules are difficult to comply with in relatively populated areas. In general, a fishing hut hidden from prying eyes can only be in a deserted and wild taiga; it is very difficult to hide in other forests.
The house should not be visible from the air. It is advisable that a helicopter cannot land nearby. To do this, the logs for construction are taken not entirely near the hut, but some nearby, and the rest in other places. The most reliable way to hide a house better is to move 20-25 kilometers away from the nearest road. This is approximately a day's trek.
The approach to the winter hut from a relatively frequented place should not stand out in any way. There should be no path or road. The path to the hunting lodge can run, for example, along stones in the bed of a dry stream or through a spruce forest, where a springy bedding of pine needles lies under your feet. Some especially careful hunters even go to their winter quarters on a different route each time.
It is advisable to choose a place on a small edge, protected from strong winds, in a pit. This will protect the lower crowns from heavy torrential rains and spring floods. Under no circumstances should you build a hut in a ravine. It is permissible to build a house only on a small hill or flat area. There should be a source of clean drinking water nearby (stream or river).
Selection and preparation of materials
How to build a hunting house in the forest? The construction site must be cleared if necessary. The forest will be used for crowns, but the stumps are usually burned. It is better to make the first crown of a small hut from larch, because this tree rots more slowly than the others. If there is no larch nearby, then from what is there. You can put stones under the crown or place logs directly on the ground.
The main material for building a house is trees coniferous species. Pine and larch are excellent, but you can also use spruce or fir, cedar. Cedar can be cut down without pity, because thinning sanitary fellings clear space for stronger and big trees. Thick trees are not suitable, the optimal diameter is 15-25 cm. It is better to make the first few crowns from thicker logs, and then use less thick ones.
How to build a hut in the forest with your own hands, that is, without anyone’s help? It's more difficult, but quite possible. You can drag logs to the construction site alone. Experienced taiga explorers say that a damp pine tree (25 cm in diameter) will weigh about 40 kg per meter. For one person, a length of 3-4 meters is enough. A four-meter log will weigh about 120 kg.
There is no need to lift the whole log; it is easier to drag it. It's hard, but quite doable for one person. If it’s really difficult, then you can cut down thinner trees, but then more materials will be required in quantitative terms. The picture below shows how to fell a tree.
How many materials will be needed for construction? Optimal height walls - 180 cm. This way, a person of average height will not have to bend down. This turns out to be 9 logs per wall (180: 20 = 9). There are four walls - 36 logs. Additionally, wood is needed for the floor and roof. The forest can be cut down with a reserve.
Different methods of laying crowns
How to build a hut? From the prepared materials, that is, logs, you first need to remove the bark. For debarking, a pointed shovel is used, taiga ax or scraper. At the beginning of May, the bark is already peeling off well, but it is still better to use trees harvested in winter. Dried logs are harder to process, but they are much lighter.
The crowns can be placed “in the paw” or “in the bowl”. A simpler option is “half a tree”. The “bowl” method makes it possible to achieve a better fit of logs to each other, that is, the likelihood of cracks occurring is significantly reduced. Raw moss is placed between the logs. It is better to use raw wood, because it does not crumble, dries along with the logs and is a natural preservative that will slow down the rotting of the wood. You need to use more moss so that no gaps remain.
Additionally, you need to strengthen the corners and window shutters. The deep taiga forests are inhabited by bears, who often destroy the house from the corner. Planks with bristling points are often placed against the wall, window sills, along corners, behind the threshold and on the threshold. Hunters call them “hedgehogs.”
How to make floor and roof boards
How to build a hunting hut in the forest? Walls are just the beginning. Next you need to lay the floor, make windows and doors, and build a roof. The floor requires boards that are made on site. You need to select straight-layered trees. The log must be carefully spread onto the boards. Using an ax, small cuts are first made at the base of the trunk, then wedges are driven in there so that they touch the entire diameter of the log. Such boards are much stronger than those cut with a saw, because the fibers are preserved.
Insulation of floors and laying of boards
How to build a hut in the forest with your own hands? After the walls were built, all that was left was the floor and roof. Floorboards are not laid on damp ground. The bottom layer is covered with loose earth or sand mixed with moss and stones different sizes, polyethylene or any affordable insulation. Moss is placed again directly under the boards so that there are no gaps.
How to build and insulate a roof
How to build a hut in the forest with your own hands? The most difficult thing for inexperienced hunters who started building a winter hut is the roof. Roofs can be single-pitch or gable, with or without an attic. It is better to build with an attic, because in the summer you can dry herbs there, and in the winter it is warmer. At any time of the year the attic can be used as a storage room.
The attic roof can be laid not with boards, but with small logs or halves. Moss should be laid between them, earth should be poured on top and covered with polyethylene. For the intermediate roof (this is the floor of the attic), the film is not necessary, but then you need to use more moss to provide good protection from rain. The cold is no longer so terrible, because due to the attic there are actually two roofs.
How to quickly build a hut in the forest? If you need to build a house quickly, you can build a regular roof without an attic, but it will be colder in such a room. It is better to lay the top of the logs with moss and cover them with earth in order to somehow retain more heat inside.
If desired and if necessary, you can camouflage the roof with a special camouflage net. You can do this yourself. You need any mesh for weaving the base (rope or fishing, but not fishing line, because such a structure will not last long), pieces of moss, leaves, rags, dense ribbons of dark green, gray, brown or white. Camouflage elements are woven into the structure of the network. It is advisable to tie each one not in the center, but with a tendency towards asymmetry.
The stove is the main element of any winter hut
How to build a hunting house with your own hands? There is a roof, floor and walls. Why not a home? But still, the main element of any hunting lodge is the stove. Otherwise, the hut will only protect from the wind, and it will be impossible to spend the night in it. Hunters most often use iron stoves, which quickly provide heat, but also cool down quickly. You will have to add firewood every hour to keep the whole house warm.
Brick ovens take longer to heat up, but retain heat better. For a settled life you will need a good brick stove, but you can line the iron one with bricks and stones. This way you can keep the heat much longer. You don’t need a lot of bricks; it’s enough to build a small stove with hob to make it convenient to prepare food.
How to quickly build a hut? How long does this process take? Construction lasts from several weeks to months. Much depends on the hunter's carpentry skills, because the main material (wood) is harvested locally. A person even without a special tool, but with great practical experience, will build a hunting winter hut quite quickly, but sometimes it happens that the whole day is spent adjusting the groove of one crown.
After erecting the furnace, you can proceed to internal work. In the winter hut you need light from a lamp or kerosene lamp, but you must strictly follow safety rules, because the housing is wooden. You also need to leave a supply of food and chop firewood.
Important Legal Issues
All land where forest-type vegetation is located, areas without forest but created for its restoration (clearings, clearings), lands in and near the forest belong to the state. The federal leadership develops forestry policy, distributes documents to localities, maintains a cadastre of forest lands, and makes decisions on changing the category of sites.
Is it possible to build a hut in the forest? Officially, a plot for construction in a forest can only be obtained if the category of land is changed. In the constituent entities, this is handled by the Forestry Department, and the transfer of land in undelimited territory is carried out by the Government of the Russian Federation.
To re-register land, you need to collect a large package of documents that will be considered at the local, regional and federal levels. The entire procedure can take up to a year or more. The process is complex and long. When submitting independently, there are no guarantees of results.
In many cases, it is easier to rent land for construction in the forest for 10-49 years. The tenant's responsibilities include improving the condition of the land, soil reclamation, environmentally friendly use of natural resources, and timely payment. On rented land you can grow seedlings, conduct scientific research, collect healing herbs and edible resources, establish apiaries, hunt, cut down trees.
Free use of forest areas is possible. Upon application, you can receive a plot for a period specified in the law (usually up to 10 years). Religious ministers, northern peoples, ordinary people for a certain type of activity (beekeepers can use the plots for up to 5 years), employees of organizations related to forest protection and defense.
Are hunting winter quarters illegal?
The issue of building winter huts on an undemarcated territory is an imperfection of the legislation. Commercial hunters work under a contract and quite officially; they are assigned hunting or fishing areas. In these areas, it is permissible to erect temporary residential buildings for overnight stays. It’s another matter if the houses are used illegally (by poachers) or for year-round living.
It turns out that it is possible to build a winter hut in the forest, although current legislation is still ambiguous on this issue. But for the construction of a house intended for long stay, you need to rent or buy land, and only then start construction.
Of course, there are many illegal buildings in Russian forests. Some of them are even used for year-round living, but they were built by someone unknown and when, and are not registered anywhere, which means they are illegal and have no owner. Someone can appropriate or demolish such buildings with impunity.
Night sounds of the forest, the cozy crackling of a fire and sparks flying up to the starry sky... Perhaps there is not a single person who will not be touched by such a picture. The romance of distant travels, overnight stops in the wilderness, hunters, fishing huts, many in childhood read adventure novels that tell about this way of life. But there are many people for whom such romance is an integral part of their everyday life. Geologists, fishermen, commercial hunters. It is about such fishermen and how they live in the taiga that will be discussed further.
Life in the taiga
Of course, life and work in the taiga consists of far more than just romantic moments. This is not easy, daily work, and there is very little time left for romance. Nevertheless, a person periodically needs rest. Eat, sleep, and what if we are talking about the rainy season or winter, which is very harsh in the Siberian taiga? You need somewhere to dry off, warm up, and cook food. After all, you won’t have to clear the area of deep snow every time for a fire. Yes, and supplies need to be stored somewhere, and for this you will need a dugout or hut in the taiga, photos of which are presented in this article.
Dugout
The simplest and fastest solution would be to build a dugout. Yes, equipping such a shelter does not require much time, any special skills or significant effort. It is also quite warm. But there are also many disadvantages. In such a shelter it is dark, damp and quite problematic to equip a normal stove for heating. A dugout is more suitable for temporary shelter. After all, a fisherman walking around his area will often need places to stay for the night. Moreover, the area of the site may be of such dimensions that a complete walk-through will last not one day or two, but a week or more. In this case, at a distance day's journey temporary dugouts are being set up. Well, a real taiga dweller will definitely build a log hut in the taiga as his main home.
Taiga hut
About the benefits log cabin There is no point in arguing about the quality of a winter hut. It will perfectly protect against autumn slush and winter cold. It is dry, warm, light and definitely more comfortable and cozy than in a dugout. In addition, a wooden hut will serve not only as protection from weather conditions, but also from wild animals. In general, both a commercial hunter and an ordinary hermit who, instead of the bustle of people, chose unity with nature as their main home, and any sane person will give preference to a log building.
Before building a hut in the taiga
Before you begin the construction of a log house, you should not forget that any land has its own owner. And if you don’t want to find ashes some time after returning to the hut, or even be detained and fined, you first need to meet with this owner and get permission to cut down the forest and build the hut. This could be some kind of hunting farm, forestry or similar organization. It's better to be on good terms with the law.
Selecting a location
So, permission has been received, and the next step is choosing a place for future construction. It is advisable that this be a small clearing near a pond or at least some source of water. If such a clearing could not be found, then you will have to clear the space for construction yourself. The felled trees will immediately be useful as building material, and the twigs and branches will be used for firewood. You will have to suffer a little with the stumps left after cutting down, but no one in their right mind will uproot stumps by hand. It's easier to burn them. You also need to take into account the fact that there are no tall and dry trees close to the hunting hut in the taiga, since from a strong wind they can fall and overwhelm the building. We must not forget that you cannot build a hut in a lowland due to dampness and possible flooding. You should not build a building on a bare hill, since due to its exposure to cold winds there will be a problem with heat conservation. And in general, taiga housing, if it does not necessarily have to be carefully camouflaged, is worth more or less hiding it from prying eyes. Otherwise, you never know, different people can wander around the taiga.
Selection of trees for construction
Typically, the construction of huts in the taiga is made from coniferous trees. Of course, larch would be more suitable, since it rots much more slowly than conifers, but it still needs to be found in sufficient quantities. IN as a last resort from hardwood Lay out the first crown of trees, and then continue with conifers. Cedar is also perfect for this purpose, since in a hut with cedar walls the air has a healing effect. There is no need to choose very thick trees. Fifteen to twenty-five centimeters thick logs will be sufficient. Practice shows that a raw pine log up to 25 cm thick and up to 4 m long will weigh about 120 kg. And since you will not be lifting the whole log, but only one edge of it, this weight will be quite feasible for an adult and healthy man. If such a weight still seems heavy, you can choose thinner trees. Of course, in this case you will need more of them.
Laying the log house
So, let's start laying the frame of the future hut in the taiga. The first crown can be placed directly on the ground, but it will be much safer to dig a depression of about fifty centimeters around the perimeter and fill it two-thirds with small stones. Compact the stones and place the first crown on top. For the first 2-3 crowns it is better to use thicker logs. Before laying, the logs must be cleared of bark. There are several ways to lay logs. The most famous are in the paw, in the bowl and in the half-tree. The easiest way to build a hut in the taiga is to cut half a tree. In this case, grooves in the logs are not made at the corners, but simply the floor of the log is removed, and a treated trunk is placed on top in the same way. Here you can also drill a hole in the logs and additionally secure them with a wooden spike. Chopping into a bowl looks a little more complicated. In this case, a transverse hollow is hollowed out in the upper log, with which it lies transversely on the lower log. If desired, you can also strengthen the logs with spikes, but this is no longer so necessary, since the crowns themselves turn out to be well secured. Well, the last method is cutting in the paw. This is the most difficult method and without some carpentry training a beginner will not be able to do it. By the way, in places where there will be windows and a door, despite the longitudinal hollow in the logs, it is imperative to strengthen the joints with wooden spikes. Since in most cases, hunting lodges are built from raw wood, in order to avoid significant deformation of the walls after drying, it is advisable, despite the type of log house, to additionally strengthen the logs with spikes. Well, with the walls it’s more or less clear. But there are also windows, doors, floor, ceiling and roof. Building a hut in the taiga without boards is possible, but it will not be quite a hut. Where can you get boards in the forest? Don't carry it with you. You'll have to make them yourself.
Making boards
Of course, we can’t count on even and relatively smooth boards that are made at sawmills. Nevertheless, we are quite capable of making a product that is quite similar to them and which we are not ashamed to call a board. All you need for this is a sharp axe, and for greater convenience you can make a wooden sledgehammer. It is necessary to choose a straight tree without large knots or twists in the trunk, plan several wooden wedges, make a small cut at the base of the trunk and drive a wooden wedge into it, gradually splitting the log along the fibers. A second cut is made nearby and the wedge is driven in again. Then the entire deck is split into boards, or as they are called - shingles. By the way, these boards have much more strength than those made on a sawmill in the usual way, since the wood fibers are not damaged. In this way you can provide for yourself required quantity boards for building a roof, doors, floors and other necessary parts.
Roof
A hut in the taiga can have either a single or double roof with an attic. Single - it is done faster and easier, but with an attic it is many times more convenient and practical. Firstly, it becomes many times warmer in the hut, and secondly, it appears extra bed for storing various things and supplies. In the warm season, you can dry hay and all sorts of herbs there. The roof is made as follows. First, the ceiling is laid out of shingles. The cracks between the boards are lined with moss. You can sprinkle it with earth on top or cover it plastic film. Next, in front and behind the hut, two supports are attached to the top, the ridge rests on them and on the sides, two or three on each side. Then we cover the entire structure with shingles, we also caulk the cracks with moss, there is no need to spare the moss, and on top everything is covered with plastic film. It is not heavy and you can take it with you in sufficient quantity.
Bake
The stove is one of the most basic internal elements of a hunting hut in the taiga. There are two types: metal (potbelly stove) or brick. The stove can be heated either in a black way (without a chimney), which is extremely inconvenient, or in a white way - with a chimney. Installing a metal potbelly stove is quite simple and does not require any special skills. Construction brick oven- it’s not a very simple matter, and besides, you first need to make it from clay, which can be found near the nearest body of water. In terms of its properties, a potbelly stove differs from a brick stove in that it heats up very quickly. Accordingly, it quickly warms up the room. But after the fire goes out, it cools down just as quickly. Therefore, you need to constantly ensure that the fire does not go out. But a brick oven, on the contrary, warms up the room not so quickly, but also cools down much longer, as a result, the heat does not leave the room for a long time. It is better to place the stove in the middle of the room. This way it will warm up the hut faster and more evenly, plus it will be convenient to dry things around it. And in terms of fire safety, this placement option is safer. Photos of hunting huts in the taiga with and without a stove can be easily found and viewed in the article.
Mice and larger animals
The hut must be equipped with a tightly closing door, locked from the inside to make free access for wild animals impossible. Also, inside the ceiling there should be hooks for hanging supplies, since if you place them on shelves or hang them on the wall, you risk losing everything, since mice are excellent acrobats, and in this case they can easily get to the food. To catch mice you can use one and a half liter plastic bottles. They need to be strengthened at an angle near the corner and the wall with the neck up. The mouse will definitely get inside the bottle, but will not be able to get out back.
Unwritten rules of behavior in hunting huts
Unwritten rules have long been in force for those who hunt in the taiga and hunting huts left unattended for some time, in accordance with these rules, must have a supply of firewood, salt, matches and essentials. It is not customary to lock such houses. The door should be tightly closed, but not locked. Perhaps someday someone will be able to save their life thanks to this. Also, if you need to spend the night in such a hut, behave decently in it, as if visiting a good friend. Don't litter, be careful with other people's property. Before leaving, clean up after yourself, hang supplies from the ceiling, and if you have your own, do not take the owner’s. Renew your firewood supply. A hunter's hut in the taiga must be ready to meet the next wanderer. Also, someday some taiga traveler will take care of your house. In the taiga it is customary to help and help each other out.
“Today we will go to the deep taiga to build a hunting winter hut. A small hut in the forest serves as a hunter’s second home, and he must build it himself, with his own hands. A story and photo of a taiga hunter, as well as his friend Maxim, with whom they built a hunting hut together... Winter huts are built at a great distance from permanent human settlements in the depths of impenetrable taiga or forest, where there is least human activity, where the animal is not afraid of people .
The main purpose of a hunting hut is, of course, a roof over the hunter’s head, strong and reliable walls that can shelter the taiga dweller from severe frost, pouring rain and angry blizzards; the taiga has its own laws and they are very harsh! In the hut, a traveler can rest, warm up and light the stove, cook a meal, as well as sleep and gain strength.
By the way, they don’t put locks on such houses, but only close the door.. -You ask why? The answer is simple... so that every person, be it a hunter, fisherman, tourist, mushroom picker, or a lost person, can simply survive in harsh conditions. In the winter hut there is always a supply of firewood for at least a week, some food (stewed food, canned food, cereals, salt and matches). This is an unspoken and strict law of hunters; the hut must always have a supply of the above. If you had to survive in a hunting hut and it saved you, then be so kind as to replenish your supply of firewood and provisions if possible, who knows who else trouble might happen to in the taiga.
Choosing a site for construction happens as follows, first of all you need to choose the most appropriate place in the forest, preferably on a small edge protected from strong winds. There must be a source of clean drinking water nearby, be it a stream or a river, because in case of illness a person could get to the water and not die from dehydration. The hut should be located on a small hill in a pit, preferably of natural origin; this will protect the lower crowns from spring floods and heavy torrential rains. Under no circumstances should you build a dwelling in a ravine, only on flat ground or on a hill.
A hunting hut lasts from several weeks to a month, it all depends on the person’s skills and prowess in carpentry. Material for construction is taken naturally on site, the best way is to harvest pine and larch, and the very first crown should be cut from oak and the frame should be placed on oak stumps dug into the ground - this is a kind of columnar foundation. Cutting a log house is not a simple or delicate task..., I’ll tell you, friends) Sometimes it can take the whole day to adjust the groove of just one crown. There are several types of log connections (foot, dovetail) When harvesting wood, logs that have been felled and cleared of branches and twigs must be cleared of bark, because under the bark there live various “friends” who will grind down your logs if you don’t do this. The cleaned wood must dry!!! A damp log house will warp! The inter-crown joint of the groove is insulated with freshly collected and damp moss, WET MOSS!!! The height of the hut is generally small, so that a person of average height could stand (example as in a bathhouse, the same thing) The roof is strictly gable, covered with light roofing material(roofing felt, mica, metal if possible)
This is the heart of a hunting hut; it will warm you up in inclement and frosty weather, dry clothes that are soaked to the skin, and you can also cook food on it. Mostly hunters put light ones in their winter huts metal stoves and cover them with stones collected from the surrounding area, thus increasing the efficiency of the furnace, namely, the heated stones then slowly and evenly release heat. But if it is not possible to deliver the stove deep into the forest, then you will have to build it yourself from stone and clay.
And so on, let's move on to the winter hut built by one of the taiga hunters and his friend Maxim. Background it all started back in 1995. The older and middle generations remember these terrible years very well, when everyone survived as best they could, so my friend Maxim and I at that time were still teenagers of 15-16 years old and began to master the profession of a commercial hunter, caught game in That’s how we lived in the taiga, picking cranberries, blueberries, mushrooms, nuts, the taiga generously gifted us and took care of us in its own way. With Max, far from our village, we built our first hut, it’s better to call it even a hut, because we put it together from poles, boards, and covered it inside with old blankets; in winter, of course, it froze through and through, but we really liked it even despite all the shortcomings. Quite a few years have passed since then and we have grown up, matured, started families ourselves, but we don’t forget that native place where our hut stood, and in 2009 we decided to build a permanent hut there. In the photo the owner of the hut and his friend Maxim. 
The place where the hut was located had not been visited by anyone for a long time, and the building itself was set on fire by some hooligans. It’s painful to watch, of course, but hoping for the best, we begin construction and clear the clearing. 
In the place where the hut stood there is a small depression, they cut down the first crown of larch - it is resistant to moisture, and before that they dug in oak logs as a foundation. 
Then we immediately begin to form doorway.
We sawed logs with a “Partner” chainsaw, it worked 14 hours a day without breakdowns, we tested the inexpensive tool for strength, the saw did not let us down) 
The weather was not always sunny; on the second day of work it started to rain and we had to quickly make a canopy out of galvanized sheet metal. 
It began to rain little by little, but we continued to work. 
The rain was clearing up and we had to put on chemical protection raincoats and continue working, because we didn’t have much time, and there was a lot of work ahead. 
And now the outlines of the future hut are already visible, the log house was connected into a dovetail, but what happened is what happened) 
At the same time, the creation of the roof and rafter system of the hut was underway. 
Marking was carried out homemade instrument, called "trait" 
First it is cut out longitudinal groove, then the transverse cuts are selected with an ax. 
We make transverse cuts. 
Freshly collected wet moss is laid between the crowns. Attention! Moss should not contain foreign materials (sticks, twigs, etc.) only pure moss! 
The board was brought from the mainland, namely, friends dropped it off on a timber truck to the nearest quarry, and then Maxim and I carried the boards on ourselves through the forest, 65 pieces in total, it was very difficult and it took us 4 whole days. 17 forties and 48 inches. Magpie for the floors and ceiling, inch for the roof sheathing, bunks, table, benches. 
The floors and ceiling are laid and we move on to rafter system, roof with two slopes. There is a lot of snow in the taiga in winter, and if you make one slope, it can crush the boards, and this is much more reliable. 
Then we move on to sawing a window opening in the wall of the hut; the glass with frame was found in one of the abandoned quarries, so it was adjusted to fit the finished frame. 
In autumn in the taiga there is an abundance of mushrooms of all kinds: boletus, boletus, boletus, saffron milk caps, even some boletuses (see photo below) grow in alder thickets. 
We lay the boards close to each other and immediately make a hole for the outlet of the chimney. 
The stove and chimney are installed. 
Let's move on to the second half of the roof. Pay attention to the door! She small size, this was done so that when opening the hut the hut would not get cold, but it would be better to cut down a small canopy or make a firewood stand in front of the entrance to the hut. 
Use a chainsaw to saw off the excess protruding parts of the rafters. 
Soon Maxim left and the two owners completed the construction of the hut. 
A magnificent woman, helping her husband build a hunting hut, a real wife! 
We coat the joints of the roofing felt with molten tar. 
We installed the stove, fired it up, everything was just fine) 
After the construction was completed, it was urgently necessary to return home to the city because a lot of things had accumulated during the absence and rest in the forest. My wife and I returned to the taiga only in the fall with the opening of duck hunting. Arriving at the place, the first thing we inspected was the hut, whether there were any guests, whether everything was in place, to our surprise it was in in perfect order, it’s just that it often happens that the animal is acting up, or ignorant passers-by) It was in the evening - there was nothing to do, we took photos as a souvenir, lit the stove, had dinner and went to bed until the morning, and at 4 o’clock we went hunting to the lake. 
In the morning we set out for the lake, taking photos along the way against the backdrop of the rising sun. 
Returning from the hunt, we lit the stove, prepared a meal, and hung up our clothes to dry. my wife went to bed, and I took care of the housework) 
While I had free time, I started insulating the ceiling and sealing the pipes, chimney sprinkled with loam from under the uprooted larch. 
The embankment was made in this way, everything is fireproof.
