Fancy, but no stability without those footings buried in

Fancy, but no stability without those footings buried in Especially considering the posts only have a small footing of shale. See how they crumbled when he hit some with a hammer half way through the video. Might only take a few heavy steps to make some crack. And a bit of water, then temperature fluctuations, then a few more heavy steps . . . . and repeat . . .

Thinking about it a bit more,
Joey, you raised a good point.
There are lots of videos showing people building structures. How many are sound from an engineering point of view? eg: collapse. Or an occupational safety point of view? eg: sharp edges etc.
In society today we have regulations to ensure compliance to a standard. In SHTF scenario that goes out the window. People will do what they can and I don't hold that against them but it is something to be mindful of, especially if building a permanent or semi permanent structure.

It just seemed a lot of effort to build what he did and not spend the extra time to better reinforce the bases. But I guess like a lot of these style videos on youtube, it's more to show that you can do something with limited tools

the concept I liked, but, heavy rain or flooded creek, down she goes. too close to the edge for me, but, got some good ideas out of it.

In a SHTF situation, OH&S (prevention) takes on even more importance.
