Shelter Building w/Ancestral Knowledge

The group has been working to enclose this root system cavity with twigs, leaves, and bark to form a cozy shelter. The construction includes a fireplace (right in photo 2; detail in photo 3) with a buried pipe for ventilation to fuel the fire, a old sink to reflect and radiate the heat, the the beginning of a chimney. Next week, the plan to finish the chimney and add a vestibule and woven leaf door.
