- The Super Shelter. This super shelter project is broken down into three parts. Super Shelter Part l • Super Shelter Build Pa... . describes how I chose my site, site preparation and construction of the raised bed platform. Part II • Super Shelter Part II describes how I construct the shelter portion of the project and discuss my observations through that process. Part III (This video) will be me actually sleeping in the shelter and giving my observations through the night as well as a summary the following morning.
Overnight experience:The super shelter concept definitely works well and in my case, only needs a bit of fine tuning to make for a very efficient setup. The temps were always quite a bit higher within the shelter and although I didn't mention it in the video, the ceiling temp was close to 70 degrees at one point. The bow bed was very comfortable and insulating.Tarps used were somewhat appropriate though I think I could have used a larger main tarp to cover the top, back and both sides. As it turned out, the clear plastic was used on one end and front. The plastic tarp was only 1 mil thick, but it held up well. I definitely need more work sealing the ends and any areas where two tarps come together. Rolling two ends into a long thin stick seemed to work well.
Tools used: Silky Saw, Small Axe, Mora Knife.
Materials Used; 10x12 foot tarp, 10x20 painters drop cloth (plastic 1 mil), paracord, and some rope. Also, natural materials that were found in the local area, mostly eastern white pine (dead standing, 2-6" diameter). #supershelter #bushcraft #survival
How incredibly interesting and awesome kudos to you for a great job!!
Neatest job I've ever seen for a super shelter !!!
You can use metal thumb tacks to tack aluminum foil to your fire wall. It will reflect the heat into your shelter. Use a siberian log fire with the biggest logs you can carry. This will make it where you will only have to get up every 4 hours if even then. Good job!!
Yes it can be seen!
Thank you and very informative. I learned a lot. Everyone should watch this that likes the outdoors.
Pinkmotel888 Thank you for watching! You are right, everyone can benefit from knowledge that could save their life.
Good tips
some very good tips and ideas. i noted particularly the thought about the benefits of having a wide fire. i'd note too that having a dark tarp as your roof adds a bit to warming during the day. i wonder if (assuming the ground isn't too hard) building a daktoa fire hole, with the cooking hole inside the shelter and the fire vent outside, would be worth trying. you may get direct heat but not the smoke and they require less fuel. seeing others do this sort of thing piques the imagination. and of course... buddy remains your bushcraft companion always. a touching tribute.
Ecosse57 thanks for watching. I also thought having the camp somewhat face the east, the sun would shine through the front and create some warming too! Good point on the dark roof.
Using a couple of tarp clips would help on the door opening.
Siberian log fire with big logs put off a lot of heat without using a fire reflector. It lasts longer so you don't have to get a lot of wood. That fire also doesn't have too many sparks.
As long as it doesn't burn the plastic 😂 !!
you should have made a fire reflektor behind the fire maybe a piece of mylar when really work good and why did you put the door on the prevailing wind side instead of the other side I was just curious
Kenneth Rosbury the reflector was a good idea, if the temp was lower it would have come in handy. Even though the door was at the windward side, it didn't seem to make any difference. Something to consider though, thanks for the suggestions. And thanks for watching.
I watching this in may, I seen people with log walls up about 4 ft! from side of your shelter to where your fire break wall up to like 4 ft, it for wind control! the wall is sealed one side and behind the fire too! well my plan a camper with awning and tarps and a wood stove! when i wanted to try it out i got sick and my help never got with it! i seen on face book they super glued both people hands to gather!! trying to glue a thing to gather! oh i am in trouble!
Good stuff! Thanks for watching!
and a long fireworks real nice just stack logs up about two foot high 2 foot wide light a fire on top and let them slowly burn down
Kenneth Rosbury Indeed. However due to the weather at hand, I chose a somewhat hotter fire at the onset. Good suggestion though.
