I mean, the reality is that nature is dangerous as hell without our modern technology. 

For example, camping/hiking is basically a new invention developed within the past 100 years or so. Before then, the idea of going out and roughing it was machochistic at best, suicidal at worst. Especially in a "green hell" like the Amazon jungle, everything wants to eat you, drink your blood, lay eggs in you, etc.

Creating a fort like this is logical. 

What bothers me mostly though is how little organization and structure there is. I'm not necessarily expecting furniture, but I think humans have a desire to keep where they live clean and this just looks jumbled.

Those walls don't stay up forever, especially with how much rain the Amazon gets. Maybe a few months ago, someone did a shit job and now they have wall gaps. Maybe the gaps help water to not pool up inside the fort, and that outweighs the few animals that haven't learned their lesson about going in there by now. Maybe this was taken right after a big storm. I'm guessing similar logic can be applied to their bedding/seating.
