What can you guys tell me about silent building techniques? I want to make pic related in the woods not far off the trail... Hatchet and shovels are rather noisy implements to work with.
Also, rate my shitty fort
Just build a silencer for your shovel and ax
colloquially referred to as stealth or poacher camping. your pic looks like a longer term installation. otherwise it would be a tarp shelter with a roof either levitated by string or by a single pole in the middle. there are different tarp configurations that create bonafide tents with just some folding and a stick, depending on tarp size
otherwise literally just forage for the wood that would work, like any child would do. i dont mean so offensively, i mean there is no in depth information involved
If you're close enough to traveled areas that a fucking shovel is too noisy, someone is going to find it in less than a week

Very carefully but never an ax
Pre-built it off site with screws, disassemble, then reassemble on site with a skrewdriver. Or you can use a peg system or rope. Use a rubber mallet for any stakes.
Why not just use ear plugs?
