Camping In Emergency Survival Tent

  • After the unpleasantness of the last camping trip, I decided to test out an emergency survival tent to see if it would be a good addition to my gear. I just set up in a normal campground (probably to the dismay of the respectable campers). Of course, a storm rolled in right on time, haha, but it told me what I needed to know about camping in these emergency tents.

    Last year a wildfire consumed half my town and pushed within feet of my property. I was evacuated in an unprepared panic and had to sleep rough for close to a week but somehow even with the trauma of it all knowing I was hunkering down like Steve made me smile. I have spent the post fire time learning about preparedness and have been inspired to enjoy camping and hiking in non emergency settings for the first time in years. Thank you Steve for your positivity and humanity, it truly makes a difference in this world.

      Not much you can do about the smoke when you use wet wood. Steve would have to baton the wet wood away from center of the dry wood to attempt to eliminate the smoke altogether. Not everyone carries around with them a blow torch to start their camp fires. Just an observation. Mylar no good. Very flammable. Not ment to be used around open flame. Love you vids man.

      Yep...I've also slept on top of one a few times; however, It's usually a good idea to get up early and remove the bedding immediately as then You have a nice place to sit down, and because people kind of freak out if You're still laying on top of it, as though it was unsanitary or something...ha!!
      It can be a bit of a drag getting up too early because they are usually nice/flat, and comfortable for a back-sleep.
      Far less bugs, etc. to worry about...just not overly modest. 😊

    Keep the survival blanket in your pack: use for ground cover or as a blanket inside your sleeping bag for extra warmth. It might come in handy in winter camping.

    • @flamerollerx01
      @flamerollerx01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Yeah I was thinking something similar. It could be used in a real tent with your sleeping bag. You could sew one end shut and then put your sleeping bag inside of it, then get in. It would serve as a thermal barrier, keeping cold out and heat in and because you'd be in a regular tent (even if a small one), you wouldn't have to worry about moisture so much.

    Steve, when I was in Girl Scouts we used a Tube Tent orange was the only color (they have similar ones in green now). Now setting them up we kept the entrance low 12-18” and the other end was rolled up and rocks placed on it. A poncho was usually draped over needed clothespins to hold in place. We biked the whole C&O Canal😊 and it rained most of the time but we have great memories.

    I slept in something similar on a camping trip to my friends island. Same concept quick and easy A-Frame tent except mine wasn't mylar. You can close the entrances by folding it shut and placing rocks, or log across it which is what I did, and I had no problem with water getting inside. Mylar is a blessing, and a curse. Blessing because it does keep you warm a curse because its noisy as hell.

    Hey Steve! I'm still marathoning your camping playlist (and holy hell are there a lot!) I'm loving the dedication you're showing to the whole "stealth camping" bit, keep up the great work.
    I have a few suggestions for this reflective survival tent thing that you could maybe use in upcoming videos (assuming you haven't done them, and I just haven't gotten around to those videos).
    #1) These reflective materials work best at close proximity, so as to reflect your body heat back at you. So the lower and closer to your body, and the least amount of drafts possible will make for a warmer sleep.
    #2) Insulating and protecting the outside with a framework of debris and leaf litter would help to reduce the chances of tearing, should a twig fall on it in the night, and would help in concealing it. Many mountaineers and hikers use these as an inside lining for their tarp shelters and hammocks too. Used properly, this thing will keep you as warm as a fresh burrito.
    #3) Even it's called a "tent", it works just as nicely as a sleeping bag liner between 2 really thin sleeping bags. It's a great way to lighten (and lower the cost of...) your pack when stealth camping in the winter, since you could buy the cheaper summer supplies and use them year-round.
    #4) having your rucksack at one end, and a clothespin to keep the other closed off, will greatly reduce a through draft.
    #5) I also like butting one end up to the trunk of a low-branched conifer tree (like a pine), and use my rucksack as a door when I'm lucky enough to stumble across that perfect tree.
    I hope these give you some ideas for future videos. My heart goes out to you in these trying times. Give my love to crazy neighbor too. His smiling face and chipper demeanor always brightens up my day.

  • @Smygar

    Don't know if you still read comments on a video this old. But regarding pancakes/crepes, I would really recommend trying scandinavian style pancakes for a camping meal it's both salty and sweet. It's basically the same as the recipe in this video only with a little sugar in the batter as well as the salt, then roll them up with blueberry jam and bacon inside them. The sweet flavor of the pancake and the blueberry jam together with the saltiness of bacon tastes amazing.

  • @randomhato
    @randomhato 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I'd suggest a poncho as they are infinitely more useful. Keep you dry, use as a shelter and a tarp. Plus in true survival situations, you can configure them to also collect rain water.
    Those mylar style blankets are great at keeping a person from cooling too quickly (shock, runners, wet etc) but are way too flimsy to be used as a shelter in anything but light wind and rain. In a real emergency, better than nothing, but way better options out there.

    Steve has such an even keel nonchalant voice. Most of us would have been pulling our hair out if we had brought our camping gear, set up our tent and started on the meal, then it rained.
    But not Steve. He just pulls on a garbage bag or whatever he has handy and keeps right on with the itinerary in his happy go lucky voice, no matter what the circumstances. I've seen him do it in bear country, with all sorts of challenges with his house, having film stolen, on down the line. He takes all of the fear out of what would upset most of us, making it seem like just another day in the park. 😎
    Examples: "Better move, I'm getting hail in my mushrooms."
    "Obviously, there's going to be water in the structure... Let's get to bed and deal with these problems in the morning." 😄

    I've actually used an emergency survival tent before though not in rainy-hail weather. We used a 1-2 person tube tent i bought at WalMart for a survival mssion in the desert-like conditions. It even rained and we did well. One negative was the tent seemed to move, or roll, like a tube in the sand. LOL, we woke up several feet from where we originally set it up. I usually carry a flat tarp, cord, and a few stakes, so I can design whatever I need. I even slept in one with my Bloodhound one night in the mountains. There were rattle snakes all over so the opening made me uncomfortable. My hound thought it was great fun! I was on a search team looking for a missing person that was found.

    We called those tube tents when I was a Boy Scout. They're light and help keep the rain off, but they're not great in wind because they're open on both ends. We found the best way to hang one was to put the windward end up against a rock, big tree, or other windbreak. Also, you can make loops in your ridge line to tie around a pebble poked into a dimple in the plastic to keep the ends from sliding down toward the middle of the tent. (Like this: th-cam.com/video/KFqPw-J2S00/w-d-xo.html ) You can also do that if you need to tie out the sides to keep the bottom flat. That way you don't have to poke a hole in the plastic.
