“I built this thatched dome hut on a mountain ridge using completely
primitive tools and materials. The frame was 2.5 m in diameter and 2 m
tall. It was made from 8 thin saplings 2.75 m long, the thatching
material was split palm fronds and vine was used for tying it all
together. A stone hand ax was used to chop the saplings and a sharp
stone flake was used to cut fronds. The pointed dome profile is half way
between a spherical dome and a ti-pi. This shape sheds rain and funnels
smoke effectively while still providing a large inner volume. A moat
was dug around the hut to drain water away. As an afterthought I planted
sweet potatoes and taro around the moat to hopefully provide some food
later on.”
