It takes a lot of work to build their treehouse. Fortunately, Rich has worked construction before and odd jobs as a carpenter and a handyman, so even though he's not a natural at wilderness survival, figuring out how to construct a treehouse is definitely something that's not too hard for them to do.

Their hard-light hologram survival tools are capable of creative buzzsaws and building a saw horse was pretty easy, so they even managed to split some logs and cut some into plywood. It still takes a while, though, as they slowly build the treehouse up around their sleeping place. First, they have a floor, then some basic support posts and a ceiling, then some walls.

And then it's finished. They line the floor with dried leaves and dried moss and a few layers of that vine netting. By the time they're finished building, they also have some new fur blankets tanned and ready for using for sleep, so that they have furs to lay on and to use as blankets.

It comes out really nice. Instead of some dire survival shelter, it looks like a rustic bungalow or something.

"It came out pretty well, but I'm not sure it has the right feng shui," Rich jokes as they finish setting up the inside.
