A tarp by any name is still a tarp!

Thank God he's not British...i can actually understand him...LOL..

"Leave no trace" Please pack out your wipes/toilet paper - pack a ziplock for the soild wipes/tp Animals can dig up your waste and expose the wipes/ toilet paper and it takes awhile for it to decompose - nobody wants to come across someones nasty toilet paper/wipes while hiking/ camping

Less chat, more action…too late moved on.

Rain. That's the real test. That awning at the head looks like it would let a little rain water in if it comes at an angle. Unless you close it all off and hunker down in it.

Planning to brush teeth, cook, read the Bible, sleep, make a fire, cut something, saw something, and charge something. With all due respect, throw all of that stuff in the bushes and start walking. You are only 30 miles away, you will be home in 7 hours. (10 hours if you carry all that crap). Wait, what about fishing?

Do you also carry two trees with you? Just in case of emergency…

I use both a 1 lb buttpack and a 1.5 lb daypack. A lot of stuff is lashed onto the packs, and all is concealed beneath the (camo-painted) 3rd drum-liner. If something does fall off of the packs, the drum-liner "cat hes" it. I had to add a much wider, stiffer belt to the butt pack. the shelter/sleep gear and clothing are lashed to the top of the buttpack and then the daypack rides on the gear. This forces the gear to serve as a pack frame. I empty out the packs, stuff them with debris and use them as sleeping-pads, normally up in the hammock. My spare boxers and T shirt are my hip-pads and my spare socks are my shoulder-pads. I hate every sq inch and every oz that I have to lug around. If you dont, you haven't done much of it .

the escape is MUCH too small to let you put a sleeping bag and sleeping pad into it, which IS what you need to do. It's made for little Asian guys. Instead, get the XL size of "Trifecta", from 2GoSystems. 1.5 lbs, $95. You can always fold up, tie off excess space in your bivy, or stuff it with dry debris or extra clothing. But you cant make the bivy BIGGER A bivy works MUCH better if you can pull the hammock and a ridgeline thru said bivy and also another ridgeline thru the space between the bivy and an "envelope" that you make for it out of a couple of heavy-duty 55 gallon drum liners. The "trapped air" spaces between you and the bivy and between the bivy and the envelope, are what insulate you from cold, rain and wind. Every place you let the bivy touch you forms a cold-spot. Ditto if you let the envelope tough the bivy. Ditto if you have any air leaks. Duct tape can fix the latter, but you need to use light to help you spot them.. If it's cold, set your hammock just 6" off of the ground and kick debris under it to stop air-flow.

If you ever tried putting sheets out on a line in a windy day you would know how useless that sheet is

whaatt?! sub par?? evidently you never lit a Marlboro with a zippo brother!

Wouldn't be worth the trouble in a frog choker!

I don’t think things like this would be my choice. As long as you find two perfectly positioned trees it would provide minimal protection. Like a lot of comments suggest a good poncho or two would provide better protection

Kansas City guy here too. Great vid on your get home bag, we all need one!

It's a nice tent. This is how a backpacking tent should be. Classic design. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. That said, I've come to prefer shelter setups that require any like zero set up time whatsoever, because the kind of camping that I do requires me to be on my watch carefully, and get out the area if needs require. I dislike pegging down on any land that is not mine.

That could be done with any decent tarp.

Camping has never been so quiet.

It doesn't protect you from critters crawling on the ground 😢

I went on a bear hunt a few weeks ago. We set up on top of an exposed mountain/hilltop. We had wave after wave of humid, cold, wind driven, rain from off the Pacific that night. I set it up opposite the wind using two full length x-c ski poles in those sleeves (worked great) and I laid slash poles around the cape perimeter to block wind. It stayed 95% dry; just a tad of wetness below the peak. Thank goodness for wool blankets -ha I may figure out a configuration using a military poncho to solve the peak wetness. I'm impressed with how it performed. If wind switched I would block the entrance with the mil poncho.

Always have bug dope in your edc bag 😉

Two cheap plastic ponchos every time. Roll up small. Very adaptable

Duel survival hands down

It's too small.

Y r u trying to dress like a teenager? This has to be comifornia 😂

Enjoyed the video. Thanks! The tent looks a lot like a Backwoods Bungalow that’s been cut down. Maranatha.

Love EDC videos!

This is an excellent small and lightweight shelter option! Thanks!

Very nice setup. I used your code and used it on my purchase. Thanks for sharing.

Firework! Tell us about the backpack, how do you like it? All the best!

I wouldn't have stuff other than a water bottle on the outside of my bag either.

¡Buen video, papá! Me alegro de que lo hayas pasado bien.

What are your thoughts on bivy tents?

I love this! Can't wait to try it. ❤

Watched this video again today as it came up on my feed. I was thinking that a couple of sewing needles would fit in that match safe. The artificial sinue can be pulled apart to make some strong thread. Just thinking out loud.

I agree, I don't see that helping much, and no good in cold weather. A bivy bag with a sleeping bag would be safer IMHO.

Winds change directions all of the time, especially at night and during storms. That lean-to is MUCH too small and you'll wake-up soaked. Thaat' very dangerous if it's colder than about 60F degrees and windy. You're still on the ground, with the water, mud, snow, roots, thorns, stones, brush, steep hillsides, bugs, snakes etc. give me a 1 lb net hammock, 1.5 lbs of XL size reflective tyvek bivy and 1/2 lb of plastic "envelope" around the bivy and I'll sleep find in just cammies, down to 40F, in wind and rain. It wont all fit in a gallon can, but it's not 2 gallon sized, either. 3 lbs is nothing and it doesn't take much in the way of bulk or weight to let you handle bugs, 100F, 20F, etc.

Cheers from Ukraine. You've got a nice loadout but please, if you really care about saving a life in an emergency situation - ditch that weird looking tourniquet and get something TCCC-approved (ideally, CAT gen 7 as it's the easiest one to apply). It's great to see you've considered to have such an item for quick access though.

What a nice mowed lawn in that wilderness area. LMAO !

How come it took 6 minutes to explain and demonstrate how to use a 60 second shelter🤭🤭🤭

I wouldn't even mess with the lean to system and go directly to the ploypoint after ascertaining a general wind direction. Tall people will totally ignore this product. Can't say I blame them.

Two Cam jams on each side. One for the tree tie out and another for the tarp. Then hook both Cam jams together. Easy peasy no knots.

That’s nothing. Needs to be enclosed

This is an unabashed commercial for a mediocre product. Period.

@13:18 I thought my TV had accidentally skipped the end and it started playing a ThatChapter video lmfao.
