5 Days Building Alone in the Wilderness

In this episode I originally wanted to finish the sod walls but I'm recovering from covid so I thought I'd do something less strenuous. I turned out to be completely wrong, this bed took a huge amount of energy to make. In the end though I absolutely love it and it's incredibly comfortable. It took about 165 feet of rope to make. The Copperhead came so close to biting me. Normally I'm looking down for snakes but at this moment I had my head up to doge a tree branch. At the corner of my eye I saw something move violently at me (it was striking) and instinctually I started picking up my feet, I danced in place and I made a sound like a man losing balance about to fall off a roof. I'm glad no one saw it because I'm sure it was embarrassing. I composed myself and started recording, but you can still hear my panicked breathing.
