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.....
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 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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...
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.😊😊
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.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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 👍
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.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@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.
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.
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.

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
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This is ...HANDS DOWN...THE ABSOLUTE VERY BEST survival shelter build that I've EVER SEEN !! SIMPLE ,FAST AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE !! MINIMAL MATERIALS, EPIC RESULTS !! THANK YOU !!!!!🤩😊🤯
@@BushcraftBuddy I pride myself on all things "bushy" 🤣😂😅😉.. But this is ABSOLUTELY GENIUS 💯 👌 🔥 😍 🙌. You inspired me to reset, my load out (weight reduction and "essentials") THANKS, L.C.
Loool 🙈 Great feedback mate! Really glad you could take something from my video. This motivates me big time. Cheers and Horrido from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@slideglide9418 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!
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!
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
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.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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!
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
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.
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
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.
Endlich mal jemand der zeigt wie es auch für Normalos richtig geht mit erschwinglicher Ausrüstung. Vielen Dank dafür auch wenn ich selbst früher extrem unterwegs war . Man kann zwar immer noch minimalistischer und extremer unterwegs sein , aber das was du zeigst kann normalen Wanderern die eine Rettungsdecke und ein Messer besitzen das Leben retten und das unter realistischen Umständen. Ein absolutes Top Video besser geht nicht . 👍
Ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön! Freue mich sehr über deinen Kommentar, insbesondere weil er sehr viel Substanz hat. Das stimmt, man braucht im Prinzip eine Rettungsdecke, ein Poncho, ein Messer, etwas Schnur und ein Feuerzeug. Nochmal danke und Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy Das habe ich sehr gerne gemacht , weil man bei dir einfach sieht und merkt das du weißt was du tust ist ja heutzutage leider bei so manchem Channel auch in diesem Bereich nicht mehr so der Fall . Jetzt mal was anderes und das meine ich ernsthaft hast du dir mal überlegt Kurse zu geben . Ich weiß aktuell ist gerade natürlich schlecht und je nachdem wie du familär aufgestellt bist ist das natürlich schwierig , aber du könntest je nachdem wieviel Urlaub du hast auch was dazuverdienen und würdest auch noch etwas gutes tun. Z. B. Manager Gruppen denen würde oftmals etwas mehr Teamgeist wieder ganz gut tun gerade in der heutigen Zeit wo viele nur noch auf sich bedacht sind . Das Verständnis von Kameradschaft gibt es eigentlich nur beim Militär und vor allen in den Einheiten die schon viel Miterlebt haben . Trotzdem könntest du glaube ich so manchem wieder zumindest etwas von diesem Teamgeist vermitteln . Liebe Grüße . Ps : ach das hatte ich vergessen mein Vater ist ein ehemaliger Legionär der hat noch in der Legion etrangere gedient .
Heyhey, nochmal ein herzliches Dankeschön. Ja, daran hatte ich tatsächlich schonmal gedacht. Moment fehlt mir einfach auch die Zeit dafür, aber was nicht ist kann ja noch werden. Das stimmt, Kameradschaft muss man erlebt haben, das kann man nicht erklären. Großen Respekt an deinen Vater für den Dienst in der Légion. Kennst du den Kanal von Thomas Gast? Der hat dort auch gedient. Horrido und Grüße, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy ja den habe ich mir auch schon mal angesehen . Der Algerienkrieg war damals tough . Was ich leider hier in diesem Land nicht mehr verstehe ist das man unseren Soldaten leider zu wenig Respekt zollt für das was sie für unser Land leisten . Unsere Politiker sollten sich meiner Meinung nach schämen , aber egal das ist nur meine Meinung . Mal schauen vielleicht mach ich dieses Patreon Ding hab das noch nicht probiert aber so kann ich dich ein bisschen unterstützen. Ich drück dir auf alle Fälle die Daumen bei all deinen Vorhaben . Mein Abo hast du schon mal . LG
Heyhey ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön. Ja, das sehe ich leider auch. Man muss sich hierzulande fast schon schämen wenn man Soldat ist. In anderen Ländern ist die Wahrnehmung eine ganz andere in der Bevölkerung und Politik. Horrido und vielen Dank, 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?:)
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
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.
@@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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy halte ich für unzweckmäßig. Ich war 1991 franz .Kdo.Ausbildung und 1993 EK (geilster LG beim Bund) durch Umgliederung von 552 zu 292 warem wir mit 'ner AGA Qaut.I drei Wochen am Stück im Biwak. 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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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'm quite impressive with this mylar blanket, dont melt in the direct heat of the fire. Congratulations to material development researchers and makers.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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.
Finally glad to see a good guy of the german special forces ready to take on and neutralize the bad Nazis and every bad guy along the way. Making Germany Proud again. 💪💪👏👏👏🔥⭐ Beautiful presentation *

@@ukrainegermanysingforukrai5888 why'd yu got so triggered about Trump! It was just an open comment! Oh and the world has colors black and white included and yes there are bad a good guys in the world! Nazis weren't one of the good guys especially the ss if you remember, but I love Germany and General Romel too, he was respected even amongst rival forces! He'd never killed prisoners and treated them humanly while other evil Nazis didn't and killed lots of people soldiers and civilians alike! Welcome to the real life buddy where people have been fighting for right and wrong for millennia while you stay on playstation!
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Servus Martin! In Deinen Videos kann man echt viel über die Richtige Anwendung der Outdoorrausrüstung lernen! 👍 Sehr interresantes und qualitatives Video! Danke! LG Christian
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
If you attached mylar to the inside of a tent ceiling with a 1 or 2 inch air gap between the tent and ceiling (stick pieces of velcro on the corners of the mylar and on the tent ceiling so it can be quickly attached) would the mylar help much to keep the tent warm by trapping & reflecting the rising inside warm air in the tent so it's not escaping.
Hi Michael, I like your idea. I have never tried it. Mylar is great for reflecting radiative heat (electromagnetic waves, e.g. body heat or fire and ambers). It wont help much with convection (rising warm air). So I believe it would really help if you do not have a sleeping bag and your body heat is reflected back. In case you have a sleeping bag, probably most of you body heat is absorbed and the effect is reduced. This is pure theory, however. I have never tried it. Thanks for the great idea (which practically adds zero weight) and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Very nice set up Martin, I did an overnighter only with the mylar blanket and a fire but that film is in Dutch. Nice to see people going outdoors with a minimal kit and enjoying themselves like you . Thanks Martin ! Viele Grüsse 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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Good video Martin, thanks. Funny, when reading the comments there are always a few that 'think' they know better eh? Gutes Video Martin, danke. Komisch, wenn man die Kommentare liest, gibt es immer ein paar, die denken, sie wissen es besser, oder?
I would have gigged you for having that fire way too close to the tarps...fires do NOT belong in shelters that can burn easily..sorrry...just my take on the issue...I can see a fire out near the shelter with a banked wall reflecting the heat back into the shelter...
Thank you for your feedback. This sounds like you are an instructor for survival shelters when you say "gig". I have presented the survival shelter as it is officially being taught in the German Armed Forces. I have never had issues with this shelter and the fire inside (view protection is also an issue in a survival situation). The smaller the volume of the shelter the less fuel you need to heat it, which burns less calories and creates less smoke and light. What was your experience and can you explain the shelter you mentioned in more detail? Thank you and best, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
My only gig would be the hard canteen! We never got issued those due to the noise they make while walking! We would get 2 collapsible canteens, three times as much water and the ability to lose the noise.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hey Johanna. Vielen lieben Dank 🙏🏻 So richtig kalt war es gar nicht aber man kommt kaum zum schlafen weil man ständig Holz nachlegen muss. LG in die Bundeshauptstadt, Martin 🤠👍🏼
There's more if you want to be extra prepared, you can make the blanket reversible, say white sheet for snow, or green for grass and camo. But you must use two layers of the mylar with silver side outward, so it won't matter what color you need to hide whether in snow , grass, woods . Be safe everyone
Do you know for certain whether these emergency blankets will cover a heat signature? It seems reasonable to believe so, but I've no personal experience with that and haven't seen any definite results. Just wondering...for a friend, you know.

@@BushcraftBuddy do they think you’re too dumb to carry or own your own gun? Cuz with how intelligent Europe is it’s a shame that people still buy the whole “you don’t need a gun” mentality. You can have any other inanimate object that can kill someone. They’re basically saying that you aren’t an adult enough to handle a gun by yourself.
Thanks for your view on that. There are ways to own a gun here, however a license to carry one is extremely hard to get. Personally I would find it most useful for hunting small game. But this is also prohibited. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@ABCXYZ-sz9gh I don't think Europeans buy the mentality (especially not the Czechs with their advanced gun culture!), most of us just can't do anything about it because we have no guns.

HELLO, I HAVE PRACTICED THE WOODS FOR TWENTY YEARS IN ALL CONDITIONS AND WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF DIFFICULTIES AND I HAVE WATCHED HUNDREDS OF BUSHKRAFT VIDEOS BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO I IMMEDIATELY SAW MOVE IN THE RIGHT WAY, EXACTLY LIKE A FOREST ANIMAL. ... MY COMPLIMENTS.
i am not sure how the fire does not affect the mylar...perhaps i am not seeing the angle correctly but i was surprized that the heat from the fire would melt the mylar sheet...i appreciate your information on this...great video !
Hey Michael, the mylar is military issue and withstands flames even touching it. You can find it in the description below. Thanks for you feedback and cheers from Germany, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
Great video I’m ex Infantry good to see how your mob operate very professional, can tell your military , there’s a lot of pretenders out there in combats doing poncho videos doing things wrong , if your military you can spot them a mile off 👍however I liked the video and you got a new sub ✌️
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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!!

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 🤜🏻 🤛🏻

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...
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.😊😊
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.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻

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!

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.

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.
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.

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!!!

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!
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I liked the whole thing. From start to finish, no talking, easy to follow video and great music.
Thanks Mate! Really glad that you enjoyed it. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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 clever. That air gap is genius.

When I saw the words mylar and shelter, I said, Oooh yes. 🔪🔥⛺️
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Thanks buddy. Really appreciate that feedback. All the best 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.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻

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 !

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 was surprised the Mylar didn’t start melting. If it was me, I probably would have started a forest fire 😂

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 🤜🏻 🤛🏻

Hi Sven, ja das wird gelehrt beim Überlebenstraining der Bundeswehr. Horrido und mkG, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy halte ich für unzweckmäßig. Ich war 1991 franz .Kdo.Ausbildung und 1993 EK (geilster LG beim Bund) durch Umgliederung von 552 zu 292 warem wir mit 'ner AGA Qaut.I drei Wochen am Stück im Biwak. 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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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'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 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
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 🙈
I thought it was going to be the same old thing but this is quite different. Thanks
Thanks Mike, really glad you liked it and appreciate your comment! Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks Mike, his comment was already deleted 😉 That's how TH-cam deals with unconstructive criticism. Cheers, mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤠
Finally glad to see a good guy of the german special forces ready to take on and neutralize the bad Nazis and every bad guy along the way. Making Germany Proud again. 💪💪👏👏👏🔥⭐ Beautiful presentation *
Thank you Andrea. Glad you joined me and have a fresh mindset without prejudice. Cheers and thank you big time, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This Sounds like Trump See the world. Good and bad boys. Life as black or white. In the nature, you see much more colors … because you can forget about trump 🤣
@@ukrainegermanysingforukrai5888 why'd yu got so triggered about Trump! It was just an open comment! Oh and the world has colors black and white included and yes there are bad a good guys in the world!
Nazis weren't one of the good guys especially the ss if you remember, but I love Germany and General Romel too, he was respected even amongst rival forces! He'd never killed prisoners and treated them humanly while other evil Nazis didn't and killed lots of people soldiers and civilians alike!
Welcome to the real life buddy where people have been fighting for right and wrong for millennia while you stay on playstation!

…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 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Fantastic in its simplicity and effectiveness. I want to try this one out.
Thank Mate, glad you found this useful and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
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

Sehr schön dass die Bundeswehr das auch mal zeigt !
Danke, Richard. Freut mich dass es dir gefallen hat und Horrido, Martin 🤜🏻 🤛🏻
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
If you attached mylar to the inside of a tent ceiling with a 1 or 2 inch air gap between the tent and ceiling (stick pieces of velcro on the corners of the mylar and on the tent ceiling so it can be quickly attached) would the mylar help much to keep the tent warm by trapping & reflecting the rising inside warm air in the tent so it's not escaping.
Hi Michael, I like your idea. I have never tried it. Mylar is great for reflecting radiative heat (electromagnetic waves, e.g. body heat or fire and ambers). It wont help much with convection (rising warm air). So I believe it would really help if you do not have a sleeping bag and your body heat is reflected back. In case you have a sleeping bag, probably most of you body heat is absorbed and the effect is reduced. This is pure theory, however. I have never tried it. Thanks for the great idea (which practically adds zero weight) and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Very nice set up Martin, I did an overnighter only with the mylar blanket and a fire but that film is in Dutch. Nice to see people going outdoors with a minimal kit and enjoying themselves like you . Thanks Martin ! Viele Grüsse Martin.
Hey Martin, great, will check it out 👍🏼 Yes, love to learn and gain experience by experimenting in the woods. Thanks Martin and Cheers, Martin 😉
@@BushcraftBuddy If you want to check it out , the name of the vid is "Overleven 3" cheers 🍻
Hahaha just watched another video of yours in a survival blanket. Will check out that one too 🤠👍🏼 Cheers, Martin
Ah, the old Dutch oven in the forest.
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 😉
I would recommend a stainless-steel vegetable steamer basket used to contain the fire in the shelter. It seems to work pretty well.
Great idea. I intentionally only used the gear that is available in the military emergency kit. Cheers!
@@BushcraftBuddy Ala Swedwoods
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Good video Martin, thanks. Funny, when reading the comments there are always a few that 'think' they know better eh?
Gutes Video Martin, danke. Komisch, wenn man die Kommentare liest, gibt es immer ein paar, die denken, sie wissen es besser, oder?
Thanks, Colin. Really appreciate your comment, I totally agree... Cheers buddy and Viele Grüße, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
and here we have the worlds loudest shelter
Thank you for your comment, Oli. Indeed it is not the quietest shelter. It still saves you from hypothermia. All the best, Martin
If I had time for an inspection I would have given you a Commendable.
Haha, thank you 👍🏻😉
I would have gigged you for having that fire way too close to the tarps...fires do NOT belong in shelters that can burn easily..sorrry...just my take on the issue...I can see a fire out near the shelter with a banked wall reflecting the heat back into the shelter...
Thank you for your feedback. This sounds like you are an instructor for survival shelters when you say "gig". I have presented the survival shelter as it is officially being taught in the German Armed Forces. I have never had issues with this shelter and the fire inside (view protection is also an issue in a survival situation). The smaller the volume of the shelter the less fuel you need to heat it, which burns less calories and creates less smoke and light. What was your experience and can you explain the shelter you mentioned in more detail? Thank you and best, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
My only gig would be the hard canteen! We never got issued those due to the noise they make while walking! We would get 2 collapsible canteens, three times as much water and the ability to lose the noise.
That's a good point. The officially issued ones are even made from aluminium.
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 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Blimey!This video was a masterclass, quiet, competence, purposeful and peaceful, it was a joy to see!Indeed!Thank you so much!
Thank you buddy, really appreciate your words! Glad you like it and 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
Thank you Sue! Glad you enjoyed it 🤠 Cheers from Germany, Martin
Sew the mylar between to camo sheets and use it as a cloak from inflared or flir works perfectly
There's more if you want to be extra prepared, you can make the blanket reversible, say white sheet for snow, or green for grass and camo. But you must use two layers of the mylar with silver side outward, so it won't matter what color you need to hide whether in snow , grass, woods . Be safe everyone
Do you know for certain whether these emergency blankets will cover a heat signature? It seems reasonable to believe so, but I've no personal experience with that and haven't seen any definite results. Just wondering...for a friend, you know.
Yes, they do. Just make sure you do not touch the mylar. Cheers
@@danielww9022 yes they do, now there is videos proving it, I have been teach in it a long time 99 % totally hides ya, also bdu garments have no metal you can microwave them to make sure no tracking t shirts under wear nuke it for safety sake

I really don't know why , some stupid vlogs get millions of subscribers and views , while you show real way to actually live and equip ourselves . I guess the world is changing . Awesome video self explanatory .. subbed
Edit: Do you have guns or any weapons to protect yourself
Thanks Mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Really appreciate your words 👍🏻 Here in Germany the laws are very strict so all you may carry is pepper spray or a knife. Cheers and thanks for your support, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy do they think you’re too dumb to carry or own your own gun? Cuz with how intelligent Europe is it’s a shame that people still buy the whole “you don’t need a gun” mentality. You can have any other inanimate object that can kill someone. They’re basically saying that you aren’t an adult enough to handle a gun by yourself.
Thanks for your view on that. There are ways to own a gun here, however a license to carry one is extremely hard to get. Personally I would find it most useful for hunting small game. But this is also prohibited. Cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@BushcraftBuddy bruh here in Hungary one is not allowed to carry pepper spray even... that makes good stealth techniques even more important
@@ABCXYZ-sz9gh I don't think Europeans buy the mentality (especially not the Czechs with their advanced gun culture!), most of us just can't do anything about it because we have no guns. I think anti-gunners are usually those who know nothing about guns, because in a gun-owning public their lack of knowledge would be a disadvantage.
Eine gutes idee, muss ich probieren! Mit meine sohn 😉. Grüsse aus Polen 🤜🤛
