Beneath the canopy of ancient trees, I found a massive hollowed-out stump—nature’s perfect hideaway. With basic tools and determination, I expanded the interior, carving a snug dugout shelter. The walls were reinforced with wooden slats, and a camouflaged entrance ensured secrecy. Dry leaves and moss provided insulation, while a small ventilation hole kept the air fresh. Hidden from view, this stump became a safe retreat for rest or emergency shelter. It blended into the forest, unnoticed by passersby. A testament to survival skills—using what the land freely gives to stay protected, unseen, and connected to the wild.
