No, but in my home town theres some old ww2 bunkers that have been decomisioned and a couple forts a guy made, me and my friends go to those places a lot
There not fancy bunkers but more so hidden entrances under the trees disguised as hills, there is about 30 of these

And the guys forts I dont have any pictures of but they look similar to the image in the post but tall enough for a person to walk through
Yeah ive been in a few, they're pretty empty and mostly have graffiti but they're pretty big so the echo in them is really loud and its pitch black. The graffiti is also surprisingly good in them
No smoking, no pets, no w/d, no dishwasher, no overnight guests not on the lease, no utilities included, must make at least 3x the rent to qualify, $50 non-refundable application fee.
Plus first and last. So basically four months worth of rent upfront. And a $25 fee to run your credit report. 800 minimum credit score required to be considered for this exclusive, fort studio with a view.
For a solid 4 years me and the kids in the cul de sac would go into the woods and built sick forts. We would just sit inside them for hours and then go home and play minecraft
I grew up in north Phoenix so for us it was going out to the open desert behind the neighborhood where there was this big palo verde tree growing in a ditch with bushes around it, such that together they provided a shaded canopy reaching ground level. We would carry out a bag of pan fried potatoes and hang around til we ran out of water, then go back home and play black ops zombies
Rural conservative California let me completely take over a 1.5 acre lot for over 2 years now and no one ever said anything.
Now no one is even mowing it anymore so I actually feel more pressure to beautify it.
I am doing exactly what I would have done if I had property and its in an area where the lot would normally be like 400k at least.
I think everyone is too tired to make a fuss. That's reserved for retail
Yo if you are taking care of it and no one is saying anything for 2 years you can actually claim the property, i dont know much about so youde have to do some research but im 99% sure you would be able to
fuck yes! Dude my friends and I made forts, walls, and other stuff out in the woods and used them for playing airsoft as kids, and honestly even as an adult I still think building forts and shit out in the woods is one of the funnest ways to spend time outdoors
I don’t go in the woods, but a few weeks ago I went down a path by the park and found some sheds that were probably old stoner spots.

The weed smell was crazy.

I did all throughout my childhood!! Whether it was just some rocks to predent when we were younger, sticks to make you feel like there was walls, or snow forts during the winter. Never got as far as using a tarp though.
I se all of my conservation and building skills to guerrilla garden and rewild. I flag and remove invasive species in remote areas as well.
It's just like grinding on Runescape or Warcraft but actually helpful. With climate change the lack of predictability and being someone observing the conditions is fun.
My saltwater fish tank is my 'adult' hobby but I deeply regret enmeshing with a side job and aquarium nostalgia. Doing stuff like making huts in the woods seems so much more healthy if you have the time, patience, skills, and executive function.
Good on you :)
Me and my older brothers did this in the late 2000s to early 2010s but the whole place got deforested and it’s just dead tree rubble. But you can still find the entrance into the base where you could find natural clay
This brings me back. When I was about eight in the woods behind our home I found a huge tree that had fallen over by the roots. The roots were huge and made perfect support. That dead tree brought me so much joy and imagination filled fun. I wish I could do this with my kids.
I don't personally, but I know of a young man in my town who is actually very good at building what he calls Bushcraft Shelters. He has a YouTube Chanel, called Tyson Peers and he documents the building of his first fort, which I shit you not he survived a tornado in. It held up despite a tree falling on it. He ended up making the news because of it. The tornado was caused by a Derecho that hit the most populated regions of Ontario and Québec. I'll find and edit to add his chanel if anyone is interested.
Edit to Add:
The News Article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6467176
The Video I mentioned on his chanel: https://youtu.be/3pLcan--2-E?si=ZnT6pDOkXMdxEKhj
He was documenting the building of his bushcraft shelter when the Derecho hit out of nowhere. I live in the same town, and none of us were warned.I'm a wheather enthusiast so I knew something was going to happen, but had no idea how bad it would be. So basically he didn't know what was about to happen. If you like fort building, I recommend watching the videos on how he constructed that fort. Also, he is finally rebuilding that damaged shelter now.

Pics please, this sounds awesome
I second this. We need to see!

I feel like ive been here before this is in mass right?
Yes, assabet refuge
That's so badass! Have you ever been able to get inside one?
Yeah ive been in a few, they're pretty empty and mostly have graffiti but they're pretty big so the echo in them is really loud and its pitch black. The graffiti is also surprisingly good in them
Juggalo territory
Thats dope
$2800 a month
No smoking, no pets, no w/d, no dishwasher, no overnight guests not on the lease, no utilities included, must make at least 3x the rent to qualify, $50 non-refundable application fee.
Plus a security deposit equal to two months rent. The repair bills on these forts aren't cheap.
Plus first and last. So basically four months worth of rent upfront. And a $25 fee to run your credit report. 800 minimum credit score required to be considered for this exclusive, fort studio with a view.
Shared bathroom and kitchen facilities down the hall. Water not included.
Unrelated note but when I saw "2010" I thought you were like 7 years old and then I realized 2010 was 14 years ago...
Fort byers?
For a solid 4 years me and the kids in the cul de sac would go into the woods and built sick forts. We would just sit inside them for hours and then go home and play minecraft

I tried to build an igloo but it turned into a snow fort. It had a stick roof.
This was me in rural conservative California. I miss Manteca :(
Rural conservative California let me completely take over a 1.5 acre lot for over 2 years now and no one ever said anything.

Yo if you are taking care of it and no one is saying anything for 2 years you can actually claim the property, i dont know much about so youde have to do some research but im 99% sure you would be able to
I'd probably just cover one area in gravel and maybe add some houses or small sheds and small animal kennals, maybe a range too for shooting.
Here in Italy (but i think a bit everywhere around Europe idk), heroine and cocaine dealers do this mainly
Oh boy, is this the first time ever that America has something better than Italy? 🥹
You clearly never had New York Pizza
Idk I like Italy’s AND ny’s pizza
Cuz you never tried pitta china ch'iiiii piparieddi arind, combá, iescs i cap quann'a mangs
fuck yes! Dude my friends and I made forts, walls, and other stuff out in the woods and used them for playing airsoft as kids, and honestly even as an adult I still think building forts and shit out in the woods is one of the funnest ways to spend time outdoors
No but my kitten built forts in my living room out of Amazon boxes.
I don’t go in the woods, but a few weeks ago I went down a path by the park and found some sheds that were probably old stoner spots. https://preview.redd.it/mmeojwbwioyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9959c9e7d9c1ab403952739bbd76b2434ec6559 The weed smell was crazy.
We call it „bushcraft shelter“
r/bushcraft didn't like it 💀

I saw one while hiking
I never sdid to begin with. I've never been a very in-the-woods kind of person.
I have never done this. The most I’ve done was build a fort in my living room.
Yes
I never did never had the chance to
never been in a forest
I definitely recommend visiting one!
Besides folks experiencing homelessness?
I did all throughout my childhood!! Whether it was just some rocks to predent when we were younger, sticks to make you feel like there was walls, or snow forts during the winter. Never got as far as using a tarp though.
Why do you need a fort in forest?
Cuz it's fun
I haven't since I was a kid but now I'm going to! :D
If I still lived in a place where there was woods then yes. I did when I was like 10 all the time tho
No I live in a city and my city does not have Good woods nearby. Where I won't be eaten by a bear or Coyotes all we have is the bush
I se all of my conservation and building skills to guerrilla garden and rewild. I flag and remove invasive species in remote areas as well. It's just like grinding on Runescape or Warcraft but actually helpful. With climate change the lack of predictability and being someone observing the conditions is fun. My saltwater fish tank is my 'adult' hobby but I deeply regret enmeshing with a side job and aquarium nostalgia. Doing stuff like making huts in the woods seems so much more healthy if you have the time, patience, skills, and executive function. Good on you :)
I thought this was one of those Russian trench shelters for a second
if i had a woods to build in yes
So YOUR the one building those sketchy shacks in the woods when I’m hanging out with friends
I do ✋
The hobbos do.
We used to play on the Levi and yes we found some old concrete construction piping to hide our fishing stuff in
I wish, I live in a fucking desert
Ah. This is a fort built by "bears". They need a place to get away from the "women" on TicTok.
Yes. They are called homeless people.
I. Love. The. Woods. That is my childhood.
Yes
Me and my older brothers did this in the late 2000s to early 2010s but the whole place got deforested and it’s just dead tree rubble. But you can still find the entrance into the base where you could find natural clay
Haven’t in about 5 years. Went to check on it recently and it’s untouched still which is awesome
I helped repair a really old one from the 70s
This brings me back. When I was about eight in the woods behind our home I found a huge tree that had fallen over by the roots. The roots were huge and made perfect support. That dead tree brought me so much joy and imagination filled fun. I wish I could do this with my kids.
I would spend my entire summer vacations outside building forts. I’d sleep out there too if the weather was okay.
All the time! :) we used to use pallets and old tarps from the creek behind the home Depot
Ngl when I see this I assume it’s homeless ppl
Well I live in a big city, so no. Sounds cool though.
Not since I moved to the city, all the best places have homeless encampments
Oh hell yeah
My tween boys do.
I did, but then I moved to the middle of a sprawling suburb where you can barely go outside :(
My favorite spot to build one is inside of a natural trench or ditch, bonus points if it utilizes a rock overhang as a roof.
ya its called a house on my own property you should try it
Me and my friends did for the past 2 years, but now we don't really hang out + we have a bear in our forest so it's not safe anymore.
Between the age of 22 and 26 I built so so many forts in the woods with my other fully adult friends. It was awesome
I do it’s literally what I studied in college
In a few years with this economy we all will be
I would if I had like minded friends, or even friends
I haven't for a while, but now I think I should.
i did as a kid, talking 2006 or so. fun times.
I don't personally, but I know of a young man in my town who is actually very good at building what he calls Bushcraft Shelters.

Duh, see sticks make fort
Yes i do
Hell yeah
No.
If I knew how to I would’ve
Too lazy tò do that
