What you'll need

  • Adventure backpack
  • Lots of branches
  • Picnic

How it works

  1. Go with your friends or family into the woods and find a suitable spot for your hut. Make sure the ground is level and there is enough space for your adventure.

  2. Tip: Look for a tree with a low branch fork. Then gather seven long, strong, and straight branches. They should be about twice as long as you are tall.

  3. Lean the seven long branches against your tree in the fork. Ensure they are stable and secure so your forest hut doesn’t topple over.

  4. Once the branches are secure, lean additional branches closely together to create a nice shelter for your forest hut.

  5. Walk around your forest hut regularly to check if everything is firm and stable. If necessary, you can add extra twigs or branches.

  6. Now your forest hut is ready for adventures! Use it as a retreat to tell stories, play games, or simply enjoy nature. Have fun and experience great adventures in your self-built forest hut!
