Thank you buddy! Glad you found it useful and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
You are surely the only person on youtube that acknowledges every comment and answers every question . Congratulations for setting an example !
Heyhey! Haha thank you 😉 I really appreciate that you are watching my videos and spend your time on writing me comments. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I am an old man riding and camping with HONDA Cross Cub.
This video is great !!
AWESOME!!
No explanation but deep information !!
Thank you for sharing !
Full supported !!
Have a nice day my friend !
Yep, this arrangement will be like sleeping in a toaster oven!
Brings back happy memories of a backpacking trip to Alaska in the 60's.
Hitchhiking was very slow so I was on a Greyhound bus back from Alaska. I had hoped the bus would continue all night so I would have a warm place to sleep, but in the middle of the night it stopped at Snag in the Yukon and said we all had to check in to the lodge for the night. I couldn't afford that, so a real problem.... Snag was often claimed in those days to be the coldest place in America. This was late October and the mud was already frozen hard as concrete, as I stumbled across the highway looking for a place to camp. Found a spot where I could light a fire against a large log that would reflect heat into the tarp that I rigged up. Rigged a 'Space Blanket' over the log to even better reflect the heat. Made a deep bed of spruce boughs. Prepared the fire with enough long wood that I could feed in during the night without getting out of the sleeping bag. Crawled into my sleeping bag, which wasn't really a good one, and had a warm toasty night from all that reflected heat.
Next morning went back to the lodge to rejoin the bus, well rested and satisfied with that camp. Found all the rest of the passengers blue with cold and huddled around one of those tall kerosene heaters. When the lodge had turned on their oil furnace for the first time that season it spewed smoke then shut itself down, so they had spent all night shivering around that pathetic heater. So I was the only one who had a comfortable night, and at no cost! A very satisfying feeling.....
Great story.
This brings back a lot of memories.
I lived like this, out in the woods.
After I came back from the Army in 1971. I did not fit in. I bought a big back pack and started living very simple out in the forest.
It was pretty cool.
Wow Glenn, this sounds impressive what you have experienced. Really appreciate when people like you leave me comments. Thank you and cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
and then what happend?
You shall teach me please
I wear bdu's everyday, and have been camping since 2010 straight since 2014 , but n a storage building right now
Did you ever experience anything unusual? Honestly just curious. 😬
Very clever. That air gap is genius.
Thank you Daniel 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This video was a masterclass, quiet, competence, purposeful and peaceful, it was a joy to see! Subscribed!
Thanks mate, really glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your comment! Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you for not lecturing. The information came through clearly and the sounds of the forest were relaxing.
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed the video, really appreciate this 😊 Cheers and greetings from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
As a
Yes agreed, and very satisfying too.
Thank you 🙏🏻😊

When I was in my 20's I went into the wilderness and lived off the land for 20 years, now with everything going on in America, I believe in a year or two I will be going back, I am 67 now and in good shape. So I am looking at survival videos just to remember things again and learn any new survival hacks that I may have to use. Your channel looks great.
Thank you for your comment! Great to know that a person with so much experience enjoys my videos. All the best my friend and cheers from Germany, Martin
@@BushcraftBuddy Thank you.
😉🤜🏻🤛🏻
Didnt expect him to stay the whole night, pretty badass way to show off this shelter.
Thanks mate! Really appreciate your comment and cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
My experience, with this kind of shelter. (In a Canadian winter). Is within an hour of the fire cooling. If you're not in something warm. Your up, tending fire, again.
Yes, this is the way it works. It is not intended to get some really good sleep. I could rest for 90 min and needed to feed the fire again. This is purely for survival to protect you from hypothermia or freezing if you have not enough insulation but a mylar blanket and means to make a fire.
How the hell these informative videos get any down votes is beyond me. A little knowledge applied right can seriously increase your chance of survival in a shtf situation. Thankyou for sharing with us, Rob 👍
Hey Rob, thank you big time. This is really motivating. Glad you found it useful and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
From yuppies that go camping and stay. At a motel
I'm mystified by the up votes and down votes. This excellent video got down votes, while a tragedy gets up votes. I reached the point where I don't even cast voted any more because of the interpretive nature of it all. I don't even look at the votes now. Further, TH-cam took away the down vote function for some unknown reason, yet they left the symbol for it in place.
Thank you Joe. Indeed, they have removed the amount of down votes in the meantime. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
@@joewoodchuck3824 yes , the downvote details no longer appear and neither for the comments here also for a long time.
When I was a kid. We made lean toos to sleep in when we camped. I keep in my truck a folding saw and a commando saw along w survival blankets and stuff. My friends and family thought I was nuts. Then the pandemic hit. Wow! Guess who started to learn to prep. Now I’m not so crazy anymore. Great video!
Hi Robert, thanks for your comment! Lean tos are great, quick, easy and functional. You are right it is quite interesting to see how the term "normal" changes over time. Always good to know some techniques in case things develop away from normality. Cheers Mate! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Noah was the crazy guy until it started to rain. Then he wasn’t so crazy after all
@@TonyTooTuff Well, those stories aren't real, but these survival tips are.
@@RSAgility says who, you?
You're still crazy. But camping is a nice hobby.
I can see the validity of this being a 'survival' set up, not a bush camp set up. Very nice video, thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks Tony, exactly. This is not a shelter to spend a nice evening, but it helps you survive if you have no sleeping bag and too little insulation to prevent your body heat from escaping. Glad you liked it and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I would agree. The problem with building most emergency shelters is you would freeze to death before you got the shelter built.
Thanks for your view on that. Actually as long as you are moving and burning calories, you can remain warm in most environments (as long as you are not wet). However, you do not have enough calories usually in a survival situation, so it is better to burn wood if you have to stay longer/overnight.
But a survival camp like this is a more comfortable way to spend nights and bad weather and make hot food while cutting down all the trees for a bush camp...
I did this when on summer camp with the boy scouts.
I was asked by the skip to go on a 6 mile hike and find somewhere where I could sleep over in a makeshift shelter. I found a small cut out in a riverbank and slept in there on pine branches.
I only had my sheath knife, flint and some flour and sugar.
Many many years later I found myself homeless. These skills really came into their own!
Great video love this kind of stuff.
Hey Marc, really sad to read that you found yourself homeless. Hope you are doing well buddy.
As you are saying, it is really great to know these skills. And more importantly to have experienced that you can rely on them. Cheers and all the best from Germany my friend, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy many thanks Martin yes everything is great now.
This is my story also on TH-cam
th-cam.com/video/IBR5oVsC4BE/w-d-xo.html
Bushcraft Buddy, thank you for putting these useful videos on TH-cam. I am a 75 yr old woman and interested in being able to survive a major earthquake.... your videos have helped me to assemble useful items for my E-Bag and to feel comfortable in what needs to be done in case of an emergency. Your videos are short, sweet, and communicated in a straight forward manner.
Thank You, Bryn from Seattle
Hello Bryn, thank you very much for your sweet message! I am very glad to read your words and that you find my videos useful. I love Seattle and lived in Vancouver for a year. Cheers from Germany and all the best, Martin 😊
I'm with you. I'm 74 and I have my buv out bag at hand all the time. I usually wear combats and have items in my pockets. Knife, cordage. Matches, mylar blanket etc. The usual bits. I like hiking. If I get caught out I'm ok. I've got kit. Best of luck.😊😊
Erfrischend ohne das ganze Gelaber. Auch gute Musikwahl und Lautstärke.
Freut mich, danke für dein Feedback und Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great video. I learned a lot. I am a little surprised though that the radiant heat from the fire did not melt or damage the Mylar blanket. AIRBORNE!
Thanks buddy 🤜🏻 🤛🏻 Make sure to use military grade reflective blankets. They do not melt. See also the links in the description. Cheers and Horrido from Germany, Martin
Mylar is not a highly flammable hazard. The range is significantly higher than a campfire to pose a risk. ALL THE WAY!!!

Out of all the videos I've seen on Survival/Bug out/ Field craft shelters. This one is by far the smartest, fastest, least man hours and calorie consuming one I've seen so far.
Thanks buddy, you are definitely right it takes relatively low physical effort to build. Really appreciate your comment and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Absolutely true, this is why we were trained to always carry a Mylar blanket with you. The poncho was basic gear we always carried. Mylar wighs almost nothing and can really be of big use in a survival situation.

As you say, it takes away from you lifetime but on the other hand it is a unique experience that is hard to compare to civilian life. Cheers
@Jien Sayyer Things tend to get easier the more prepared one is.
You recall the days I used to do in my tropical rainforest 10 years ago, minus the mylar blanket. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it and sounds amazing to sleep in the rain forest. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
The loose arm powered chainsaw trick just changed my life!! GENIUS
Glad you liked it. You can get them online, make sure the teeth cut both ways. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
2006 I was cycling across the USA.
I rode 140mi across NV hwy 6 and darkness fell and it started to snow. All I had was 3 t shirts.
I found an abandoned barn. I put my bike in a corner and walked around the barn. I found many sticks from an old fence. I found a large thick piece of plastic that I laid over me against the wall like a lean to. I had a small fire all nite.
I ran out of wood at 5:30am. I was back on the bike headed to Ely NV
Heyhey thanks for sharing ypur experience! I find it super interesting to learn from real life emergency situations. Fire can be a life saver when you do not have enough insulation material for the temperatures you find yourself in. I also prefer small fires and small shelters so you need little fuel. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Darkness,mestake!
Thank you! I struggle with knot tying so that would help showing diagrams but overall a very practical representation given such materials. I hope this video saves lives!
Thank you. You are right, I could have put more emphasis on the knots. All the best, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Mylar blankets are godly, and you have great skills with them. They weigh a few grams, and can either save your life, or be your camp. I have spent three months on the trail using mylar blankets to supplement my poor camping equipment, so I can swear from hard earned experience ..... space blankets can save your life.
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate comments like yours which include real life experience. I also always carry at least one of them on me. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Better to have good equipment in the first place. You can lose or damage your Mylar blanket. Then what would you do?
@@johncrouch8988 Honestly John, I would take out another Mylar blanket because I carry more than one. That said, losing a 1-by-2 meter sheet of highly reflective material would require effort. They saved my life.
Hello John, the point of this shelter is to have a skill set how you can make a survival shelter with gear from your a IFAK only.
People always ask me what’s the point of camping, they don’t understand . the point of just” surviving”. It brings a man into his true self and brings true peace without all other nonsense
Very true. It is all about the simple things like water, shelter, food and warmth. Cheers mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I know and I look at people like they're crazy when they say that. Camping is therapeutic and can show you who you really are in certain situations. I think everyone should learn how to survive in the wild including harvesting an animal. I believe this would force people to appreciate things more and treat people differently.
Very true. Especially being grateful to the animal that was killed in order to get meat. This is something that is completely lost these days. Cheers and best, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Very nice opening of the film and well-chosen, not loud music.
Grüße aus Polen :)
Witam. Ciesze sie bardzo, pochodze tez z Polski i pozdrawiam serdecznie, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I liked the whole thing. From start to finish, no talking, easy to follow video and great music.

Loool 🙈 Great feedback mate! Really glad you could take something from my video. This motivates me big time. Cheers and Horrido from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
When I saw the words mylar and shelter, I said, Oooh yes. 🔪🔥⛺️
Alles was man für eine Notübernachtung braucht, perfekt. Die Befestigung der Folie/Moos/Para super Idee. Getestet, hält auch bei Wind.
Danke mein Gutster. Freut mich, dass Du etwas mitnehmen konntest. Es war zwar keine entspannte Nacht aber gut zu wissen wie man überleben kann wenn man nicht genug Isolation, bzw. keinen Schlafsack dabei hat. Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Geil, endlich noch ein Deutscher der es echt drauf hat. Mir gefällt der Style. Abo is da!
Ein herzliches Dankeschön 👍🏻 Freue mich sehr über dein motivierendes Feedback 💪🏻 Horrido und Grüße, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
I use this same kind of set up when I’m winter camping but use 2 tarps with 2 Mylar blankets taped on each side of the inside & I make sure to leave enough tarp so I can close the sides up . You stay warm & toasty all night long , I can sleep 4 people in it with 2 - 12 x 12 foot tarps & I can afford to make it a bit taller . Very nice set up
Hi Robert, thanks that sounds interesting. Do you use several mylar blankets or can you get 12 by 12 foot? Do you also use an A frame style? I also used a teepee type shelter using two 12x12 tarps. Cheers and thanks, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great video
You don’t say much
But you obviously know what your doing
You made that shelter simply and efficiently
Thanks for the info
Glad you liked it. Thank you for your feedback and cheers!
Good to see someone using their initiative. I like to put a silver lining on the ground aswell, to keep me warm and protect me from ground frost. But that's only when it's really cold. Cheers for the video, very informative. Luke
Hey Luke, glad you liked it and good to see that you are also training your skills. Cheers and thanks, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
A tent...just saying!
I've been trying to "re find" this video for a couple of years. Finally found it thanks.
Glad you found it again. Thank you and cheers, Martin
I really, really like this shelter its simple and easy to construct even a fumble fingers like me could do it, but its not very stealthy the glow from the fire could be spotted a long way off, but even if it were not the smoke smell travels miles on the wind
Love the chainsaw blade!
Thanks buddy, they are really cheap and good. I have also added a link in the description below. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Весь день строил шалаш,а под вечер решил закоптить себя в нем)))

I used to make these shelters when i was a kid. Mine were all natural . Snow was on ground at the time. This happened when i would miss the bus for middle school my mother woulf make me walk to school. All i would grab was a lighter or matches. Went to conservation trails and setup camp off path but near road so i could hear bus on way home route miles away from my house. Doing this seemed to come natural to me and was fun. The fire was small and i did put out with snow when i left. Probably learned more than what i would of in school those days.
Very true. Thanks for sharing. I wish kids would learn more of these skills in school. Cheers and all the best, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Aside from the awesome shelter, that’s some beautiful cinematography!
Thank you for very motivating feedback and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Indeed it was, the presentation, videography and soundtrack were really quite beautiful.
Thank you. This is really motivating! Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
awesome video on this type of shelter , thanks for showing us the knots tied as well as the ins and outs of contruction of it very impressive

I love watching and learning valuable but life saving skills that you guys take the time to show us! My hats off to you guys who have served the war. Must be extremely hard and emotional part of being a soldier or ex-soldier. The simple technique and skill you used is so valuable and thank you!
Thanks buddy. Really appreciate that feedback. All the best and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Fantastic in its simplicity and effectiveness. I want to try this one out.
Thank Mate, glad you found this useful and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
This looks like an excellent technique! Thank you for this video! 😎💙💛
Thanks mate, glad you found it helpful and cheers, Martin
I slept out a few years. Im not trying to nit pick the man's skills. If it was not going to rain, I gathered a Lot if wood and just slept next to a fire, turning over was just the way it goes. I really liked his chainsaw. Remember any home owner that can see a fire will probably call the fire department.
Thank you for your comment. I am showing the survival shelter which is taught in the German Military. There are plenty of other survival shelters.
A cozy warm bed like that. I would have definitely slept in till at least 9am
Hahaha, actually this shelter varies quite a bit in terms of temperature. As long as the fire is burning, everything is fine. But once you fall asleep for too long you wake up cold 🥶😉 Cheers, Martin
So perfect tutorial and so peaceful forest. I love your video! This is my dream living like this.
Thank you my friend! I am really glad you enjoyed it and cheers, Martin 👍🏻
I'll be honest; I'm surprised the heat from the fire didn't melt the mylar or the poncho. I guess it's a matter of balancing the size of the fire and the heat bloom against the distance from the fabric, plus the extensive heat vent at the top.. I actually enjoyed the lack of dialog (appreciated the captions) and the music and nature sounds.
Thanks buddy, really appreciate your feedback! Yes, I was also surprised. In fact the flames can even touch the mylar without melting it. This seems to be due to the metallic coating and the high reflectivity. Only sparks landing on it created tiny holes. But this was not an issue. Glad you enjoyed it and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
i think...people mostly making too big fires, i'm a small fire fan too, maybe "dacota fire pit" in a hole could be even more effective, and more "undecetable", to heat a soil a bit, and to keep flames lower, not to burn poncho or emergency blanket reflector :)
great and peacefull video, thanks ;)
chears2all
Thanks buddy! Good idea with the dacota fire pit. The heat reflection from the mylar should also work this way. Cheers and best wishes, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
The advantage of the Dakota is it produces more focused, intense heat for cooking, taking less time, therefore less likelihood of being detected, but is more likely to cause root fires in peaty soil and is less effective for heating that traditional fires.
Stones, heated in the fire, are worth consideration, placed under a layer of soil, then leaves, as the heat emanates from them for hours, although care has to be taken to avoid wet or damp stones, near bodies of water, as they are apt to explode, when the water vapourises.
Congratulations from Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 😁👍
Thank you, Miguel! Glad you liked it and cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I'm not gonna start off by saying thank you because everybody already has. I will tell you that I very much appreciate what you are putting out because I wouldn't have even thought about a bugger one and a bugger 2 in a bugger 3 depending on how much we get carried with us. Much appreciation a lot of respect keep doing what you're doing and please keep sharing!!
That's quite clever design, thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I enjoy these videos. I like to see how others handle the same equipment that I carry. Nicely done.
Difference in tools…I use a folding saw and a small hatchet. I have one of those chain saws. Never tried it. I will now.
I kinda wondered and worried a bit about the fire near the mylar. He carried it off just fine.
Thanks Peter, glad you liked it. I also like folding saws, they have advantages. Make sure to use military grade mylar, it wont melt. Cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Everything, from scenes to nature sounds and even the calm melody, is wonderful in this “silent” informational video
Thanks mate, really appreciate your comment and the feedback. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Fine video. The Mylar is standard first aid equipment and used to keep wounded soldiers warm in case of loose of blood during the golden hour until they get to a Role 2 or field hospital. Just wrap it around you and feel the heat.
Thank you Dan, this is exactly what they are originally intended for. Thanks for sharing and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
I enjoy watching individuals create something (a makeshift tent in this case) out of other materials. At least he did not cut down too many trees in order to do this. This is a fantastic idea if someone does not have a traditional tent.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it! Actually I have only used dead material from the ground, no living tree was cut or injured to build the shelter or gather spruce branches. Thanks and best wishes from Germany, Martin 🤠
@@BushcraftBuddy yeah. I live in Germany and from what I understand you are not allowed to just cut down a tree if it's alive. but in a survival situation I would regardless. if needed of course. but there is just soooooo much dead wood here its easy to find what you need just lying on the ground.
Just to be clear. I'm an American living in Germany for quite a few years now. so my grasp of the laws here is still questionable at best. ;)
However, I do miss being able to actually go camping and not the glamping crap that is the norm here.
Hey mate, well I also live in Germany 😉 Yes, cutting down living trees without permission is certainly not allowed here. But there are many ways to enjoy the outdoors in a non-glamping manner. Feel free to send me an email if you need some tipps. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy I will definitely ask if I have a question ! However, we all want choices in where, or how we live, and to me, camping is something that should be enjoyment, and not someone's permanent way of life because they were victimized !
Have a good night...and thank you !
I totally agree, this is why I prefer the Swedish approach with "allemansrätten". However, as you can see in my videos, there are a few ways how to enjoy the time outdoors. Happy to help you out and gute Nacht nach Schwerin, Martin
I thought it was going to be the same old thing but this is quite different. Thanks

Fast and simple ,that's what it's all about ,I am a great fan of traveling light and I think your film is just right for a quick camp ,Nice
Thanks Mate, I also do. To be honest I have times when I don't mind carrying a 5kg dutch oven and 2 weeks later I consider cutting the handle of my tooth brush to save weight 😅 cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks for the video. I thought of that kind of a tarp configuration a long time ago, and then later I saw "corporals corner" configure one, and use it.
Schön, auch mal jemanden zu sehen, der für die Übernachtung keinen 70l Rucksack dabei hat 👍
Danke, Marcus! Ja es geht tatsächlich aber man muss doch echt oft Holz nachlegen, so wirklich erholsam ist das nicht. Aber um die Nacht draußen zu verbringen absolut top. Horrido und LG, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Erst alle gekotzt aber nach zwei drei Tagen solche Sachen wie Dackelgarage und 'Leben im Felde' mal auf den Prüfstand gestellt.
Ergebnis, Schrägdach 2/3 schräg und 1/3 nach vorn übergezogen. Ausrüstung an die Füße und Waffe neben den Schlafsack, Mündung neben den Kopf. Alarm und Rundumsicherung aus dem so angelegten Platz. Kein rumwuseln im Dunkeln und Ordnung am Platz der Gruppe. Der Platz selbst sehr gedeckt, maximal geschützt und über eben drei Wochen benutzbar. Durch den flachen Aufbau bleibt die Wärme am Körper. Ich hab mir in meinen 14 Jahren nur vier zus. Ausrüstungsgegenstände gekauft. Unterwäsche von Brynje, Makrolonhandschuhe, einen Poncholiner von den Amis und eine Zeltplane von der NVA. Alle während dem Biwak und hab nie mehr gebraucht. Gerade die Zeltbahn war eines der letzten Modele, Licht und dicht.
Hallo Sven. Vielen Dank für den Erfahrungsaustausch. Wirklich tolle Ausbildung die du absolviert hast. Die Variante mit 2/3 schrägdach und 1/3 flach klingt interessant. Welches Tarp habt ihr da verwendet? Vielleicht noch etwas zu Einordnung. Das Shelter ist eher dafür gedacht wenn man versprengt ist und kaum Ausrüstung (kein Kälteschutz, Schlafsack etc.) dabei hat in kaltem Wetter. Eher Survival als Leben im Feld. Das wird im Überlebenstraining der Bundeswehr gelehrt. Nochmal danke für die Anregung und Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I was surprised the Mylar didn’t start melting. If it was me, I probably would have started a forest fire 😂
Haha, thanks, actually I am using the military version of mylar. It is very heat resisten. You can also find it in the video description. Cheers 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Bushcraft Buddy awesome. Subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Mate! Really appreciate that! Cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤠
Starting music?????
Luckily not all military surplus is junk, I bought a bunch of goretex Dutch hooped bivouac bags almost a decade ago and was impressed, by the quality until I saw they were made by Carinthia 😲 there civilian stuff is past my budget to this day.
I like nature and I like camping in nature, thank you for the video, greetings from Indonesia.. 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thank you and cheers to Indonesia from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I like how Huginn and Muninn ( Oden's ravens ) made a cameo appearance right at the end of the video.
Haha, true 😉 Cheers 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This is a great exercise for modern technological adults, and kids, to clear their minds and appreciate what they can do if need be.
Thanks, there definitely is a lot of truth in your words. It makes one also humble to see and feel how weak and vulnerable a single person in open nature is. Cheers!
@@BushcraftBuddy Thank You for helping me get off of my phone, and into the bush.
I must confess, I will have my phone with me, and my time in camp may be limited by my battery life, but, I will make a concerted effort to not use it when bored.
I'm going to set up a feral pig ambush on a 40 acre ranch with my camp as a blind.
An afternoon, a night, and a morning is what I am planning, unless a unsuspecting hog shows up at close range.
Glad you liked my video and sounds awesome what you are up to. Hope everything goes well. And as we say here "Waidmannsheil" (hunters luck). Cheers mate and best wishes, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Get natures TV set 🔥going no two 🔥are ever alike no reruns🔥
I hear you on the phones. I really think they have been part of making people compliant addicted 🐑
Good luck on your camp and getting a hog. Hope youve got a smoker waiting!
Excellent, refresher tutorial. Well-done. Never know what future has for you.
Thank you mate. Glad you found it useful und cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Thanks for the forestscapes and birds.
😉 You're most welcome!
Für mich, das Beste Video , schon dreimal angeschaut.
Gruß Jürgen
Haha, servus Jürgen. Das freut mich aber. Herzlichen Dank und Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Thank you😀❤great video very important more than people realize!
Thanks, Daniel. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Martin
🤜🔥🤛 Ordentlich, klasse!!! 👍
Danke Dir mein Gutster 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I think this is a perfect shelter if you have a mylar and poncho. Great !!
Thanks, Martin! Best wishes from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I kind of like the no talking. And awesome shelter.
Thanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed it and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
a mylar 'space blanket' similar in size to his saved my life.
one day hiking in new and unfamiliar forest counry here in colorado in the 90's
the overcast sky led to becoming disoriented. i had no GPS then and my compass
didnt help .
i hiked about until after dark. when i finally accepted that
i was lost and was going to have to spend the night out.
some good news was a logging clearing along my path. and its abundant
dried branches made for a quick fire. i knew that a fire meant survival.
it was already a habit to carry emergency supplies in my day-pack
including matches , water, and the space blanket.
after the fire was lit the mylar was used as a cover. the fire warmed me on
the front , lit-up side . and i recall feeling the mylar reflect my back-side body
heat.
i fell asleep on the ground right there near the fire. and woke up
several times. added fuel to the embers. and fell back asleep after
awhile. temp was in the 40's.
in the morning i found numerous holes in the mylar where sparks
had burned it.
i knew which way to go. and found my car just over the next rise .
about a half mile away is all.
now that episode was over 20 years ago and to this day every
hike is treated as one where it could happen again. the only
difference now is carrying a GPS ( with spare AA's ) and a cell fone.
coverage in the mtn's can be spotty, yet it is getting better.
Hey Bob. Thanks for sharing your experience and I am glad that nothing serious happened to you. I also carry a mylar blanket when I am out in the woods. You never know and it is an extremely light weight and versatile piece of gear. Thanks and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Some very interesting materials are becoming affordable.
Like what?
6:23 he got cold and went inside his house. Awesome video! I enjoyed watching this
Hahaha, thanks. Actually it got rather boring since you cannot really sleep. You have to feed the fire every 90 minutes or so. The temperature was fine. Cheers buddy 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤠
I'm quite impressive with this mylar blanket, dont melt in the direct heat of the fire. Congratulations to material development researchers and makers.
Thanks buddy. Yes, make sure to use the military grade reflective blankets as I have shown and linked. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Very cool. I tried this with a Arturus Survival blanket, instead of the mylar blanket. Dug a Dakotah fire hole up underneath and a German poncho tent half and stayed toastie warm all night at -15° C with only a helikon swagman role. Very cool idea with this shelter.
Hey John, thanks and glad it also worked for you. I also love the Swagman Roll, great piece of gear. Thanks and cheers, Martin 👍🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy you're welcome Martin. I do not speak a lot of German. But, enough to get the gist of whats being said. While I'm American, I enjoy getting a European perspective on outdoor survival as well and blending it with what I have learned. I really like your channel. Keep the good videos coming out.
Thank you John, I really appreciate your comment and it really motivates me to know that you are watching my videos in the U.S. Thank you big time and cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you 4 sharing, very cool.
You're most welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thank you..this technology has been itching my mind for years, like many other things.
Thank you, glad you liked it! Cheers, Martin
Amazing how much you can learn without a word. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻
…why have I seen no one else with a chainsaw chain like that… it’s brilliant! Great video.
Thank you buddy, glad you liked it! Yes, these chaninsaws are very light, compact and can cut quite large pieces of wood. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Great, great video. Beautiful. Thanks for posting.
The mylar blanket looked to be close to the fire. I thought for sure it would start to melt.
With all the fir branches inside and propped up at either end, I'm guessing it was quite cozy in there.
Hi Jim, thanks for your feedback. Yes, it was really toasty when the fire was roaring. However I needed to stay up the whole night to feedback the fire, so it was quite hard to sleep. The mylar I have used is military issue and doesnt melt even when the flames touch it. If you are interested I have linked it below. Cheers! Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
What if a puma, decided to feed your fat belly to her babies.
Fortunately we do not have pumas around where I live 😉
Almost laughed because I though you had a wire saw till I saw the straps. Well done
Thanks mate. Glad you liked it and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
You make it look easy. Great demo. It looks so comfy!
Thanks buddy, glad you found it useful and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
your not talking makes the video very effective. it's a fresh take on "survival" videos with mostly unlikable people (most of them from the u.s., unfortunatelly) that talk loads, have a horrible voice or accent and have some kind of an attitude problem or something. vielen dank!
Thanks mate. Really appreciate your comment! You are right, I got the comment several times that the shelter takes a lot of effort to build or that lighting a fire is non-tactical. I believe I did not stress the point enough that this is for a survival situation when things went wrong (no gear anf appropriate clothing, alone, lost, etc:) And it is actually being taught to the troops in Germany. Thank you und Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
That is such a good set up
Thanks, Danny! Really appreciate your comment and cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Great video. I dig a pit for the fire to keep the flames as far from the Mylar as possible. The long-wave IR from the fire will still reflect off it & keep you warm.
Thanks Mate and great idea. I also dug a small pit but making a real pit fire is probably ideal. Thanks and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Good video,, ..no talking,, i enjoyed watching it thank you..
Thanks Bryant, really appreciate your feedback and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Very informative and educational, thank you very much
Thanks buddy, glad you liked it. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great vid & very useful knowledge, especially when trying to travel as light as possible. But for next time, could you keep the chatter to a minimum?:)
Hahaha. Thanks for your comment. Glad you liked it. Ok I promise, next time I will not speak as much 🙈 Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Nice, but if I were you, I would have cleared out the ground first before building the camp. Works either way, but I think it 's a little tidier and comfy. The survival blanket probably works very well as a heat reflector, and the two tarps conceal the fire, too.
Thank you for your comment and the suggestion to clear the ground first. Having a comfortable place to stay is very important for the morale. Cheers 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I like the idea of the fire in the shelter to keep warm at night. great video, thanks!
Thanks, glad you like it! Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Excellent video,, learnt how to make a good shelter,not complicated,,, cheers mate..
Thanks buddy, really glad you liked it! Cheers, mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤠
Servus Martin! In Deinen Videos kann man echt viel über die Richtige Anwendung der Outdoorrausrüstung lernen! 👍 Sehr interresantes und qualitatives Video! Danke! LG Christian
Servus Christian! Freut mich sehr Deinen Kommentar zu lesen :) Gerne und danke! LG und Horrido, Martin
Thank you for the video. I thought of that type of a shelter quite a while ago so that you could have a fire in your shelter even if it's raining.
Thank you Michael, yes it also works great when it is raining and you want to dry yourself. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great video. I learned a lot. Because of asthma/chronic bronchitis, the smoke will kill me.
Thank you, I wish you all the best. Hope it will improve and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
I would never have guessed the mylar blanket would survive the heat. Great video , now I need to see if I can order some of those high quality German Mylar Blankets.
Thanks buddy. Yes these military issue mylar blankets are really nice. Cheers, Martin
@@BushcraftBuddy - Are they stronger than the regular cheap ones?
Yes, they are slightly stronger and larger. And they are not super expensive. Here in Germany they are around 1€
@@BushcraftBuddy - Thanks, I appreciate that. That is incredibly cheap compared to the ones in the US. Everything seems to cost more here, normally.
Haha it is the same thing vice versa. G.I. Equipment from the US Military costs a fortune here 🙈
Wonderful video.
You are certainly unobtrusive with your grey cap and tarnfleck outfit.
That chainsaw is sold in the US under the "Ultimate Survival Technology" label.
For water purification I like Potassium Permanganate.
Again Thank you for your video.
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate your comment and information with the Potassium Permanganate. I was not aware that it can be used to purify water. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
First good use of one of those molars in a long time. Thanks
Thanks buddy, really glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks for making the video.
You're most welcome! Cheers and thank you, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
