Bushcraft Build-Off

Matt Graham challenges two top bushcrafters go head to head to see who can build a bear proof shelter that's made to last, using only three tools, and nothing but the natural materials available around them in Utah's Aspen forest.

Matt Graham raises the bar when he challenges top Bushcrafters to create a shelter at least 5 feet above uneven terrain that will protect them from muddy ground, dangerous heat, and fierce predators, using only one hand tool and natural resources.

It's sink or swim when Matt Graham challenges top Bushcrafters to create a working watercraft using only one tool and the natural resources around them, capable of carrying three people and their supplies across Utah's Alpine Lake.

Bushcrafters build both a bridge over a river and a waterproof shelter using nothing but three hand tools and the materials they find in Utah's spruce forest.

Two top bushcrafters build hunting shelters using only the natural resources found in a Utah hunting ground. Taking it to the next level, teams build impressive structures from cobblestones, mud, and wood to protect from the elements and predators.

In a climate known for its extremes, top bushcrafters face off building thermoregulated shelters that stay cool in the summer but warm in the winter. The catch? They can only use 3 hand tools and the materials they find in Utah's high desert.
