Watch Building an Organizer Shelf System around Tree - (Water Shelf) Primitive Skills and Modern Technology video on DTube
Using primitive skills and a little modern technology I build onto the tree shelf system a shelf for a water jug/container. I'm building this tree shelf system so I can have a more comfortable campsite. I want to have a counter or shelving system at around stomach height to set my water container on as well as other little gear and equipment items, including books.
There are times when I set up a new camp in the forest and I don't have any place to set things on -no rocks to be used for shelves, nothing. And having to stoop over to pick things up off the ground is just a little too primitive for my camping style and hard on the back.
Some people say I should build a tree house and I've had something in mind like that for a while that I may just build one day.
The organizer shelf system is built underneath a 10 x 10ft tarp shelter, and on the inside part of the tree.
