Transom knot
by Ioan Powell
(Cardiff)
Warm but Windy ring shelter
Depending on how big your shelter is going to be, sharpen strong sticks and spear them into the ground. I used 6 for a 5 man shelter. Then lash 3 thinner sticks branch to branch across and lash together using the transom knot (see picture).
Lay hay on first level. Then snap bracken and use for 3rd and 4th layers.
Lay hay and leaves on floor.
Lay sticks as a roof and then chuck leaves and bracken and moss on the sticks.
Lie down with friends and build fire.
HAPPY CAMPING :)
