  • In this video I build/analyze the Ultra-lightweight Super Shelter, I measure the temperatures around it and get some amazing results!
    Stay safe and have fun,

    I like the way you encircled the camp with the mylar. I'll bet that helped considerably in the overall warmth. It is pretty amazing how warm these super type shelters can be. If you are not already aware, the three log long fire is a really great firelay for shelter heating. The three log long fire firelay has one of the best heat output to fuel consumption ratios possible.

      The encircled camp makes a huge difference in the overall temperature, although sometimes can become a little bit smoky depending on the direction of the wind, as the smoke doesn't escape so easily.
      It is a matter of choice between warmth or smoked clothes! (I prefer warmth!)
      I will definetely try the three log long fire in the future!
      Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
      It is a great honnor to see a comment from you!
      Stay safe and have fun you and your queen!

    Great video. I'm quite impressed with the difference between the outside and inside that Mylar enclosure. Have to agree that keeping the coals above the snow to reflect more heat would have made an even bigger difference, but it worked quite well as it did.
    Happy I had found this channel. It's been teaching me quite a lot.

    Excellent vid. I think you should have suspended the thermometer that was outside the enclosure instead of leaving it on the snow. But it gave a good approximation of the actual temperature.

    You did Mors proud. Good job on the video. I wasn't sure that the heat would reach the plastic since the fire looked quite a ways away from the plastic. Good job.

    I have questions!
    How did the plastic cover survive so many sparks?
    How did you close the cover so no air could escape?
    How did you get fresh air in while sleeping?
    Cheers mate for this good video and shelter idea! Absolutely useful for four or more persons.

    • @outdoors-university
      @outdoors-university  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      1) The plastic is a little bit thick and it can easily survive this kind of sparks.
      2) It is not an airtight construction and you could use any type of clips to hold the sides closed.
      3) If you want to sleep in a shelter like this, it is good to let a little opening on both sides and keep your fire alive.
      4) The idea for the super shelter comes from a specialist in survival and bushcraft whose name is Mors Kochanski. I just added mylar around the fire to keep some warmth in my yard!
      Thank you for watching!

    The two biggest problems in your shelter approach are the energy spent in collecting wood for heating the shelter and ignoring natural associative shelter arrangement. By selecting a pine or spruce tree to shelter under you reduce heat loss by the wind. Additional bows of spruce or pine reduces further heat loss. I speculate that your wind reducing approach took an extensive effort of time and energy. A vented tent with a candle heat source is vastly quicker to set-up versus the solution provided reducing caloric expenditure further. The true effectiveness of a candle heated tent environment needs to be explored in comparison to your presentation. Certain tents can be set-up within five minutes. I seriously doubt that your solution could provide with a five minute set-up. Survival demands a minimum expenditure of energy.

    Υπέροχο βίντεο! Μια ερώτηση: Δεν υπήρχε υγροποίηση μέσα στο κατάλυμα; Εγώ θα περίμενα να στάζει από υγρασία!

    • @outdoors-university
      @outdoors-university  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Σε κατασκευές καταφυγίων με μη διαπνέοντα υλικά όπως αυτά υπάρχει υγροποίηση, αφού η διαφορά θερμακρασίας μέσα με έξω είναι πολύ μεγάλη. Επίσης η υγρασία από το λιώσιμο του χιονιού στο πάτωμα και η υγρασία που αποβάλλει το σώμα μας κολλάει στα τοιχώματα του καταφυγίου. Για να μειώσουμε αυτό το φαινόμενο μπορούμε να αφήσουμε δύο μικρούς εξαερισμούς στις άκρες του καταφυγίου για να υπάρχει κυκλοφορία αέρα στο εσωτερικό. Ευχαριστούμε για τα καλά σου λόγια και χαιρόμαστε που βρίσκεις τα βίντεο χρήσιμα!

    This is like a validation of another nearly identical shelter demonstrated on the channel Far North Bushcraft and Survival. Compare it at
    th-cam.com/video/qcxu9DPRpIw/w-d-xo.html
    I think this has some improvements over that one.
    But my main point is, this and the Far North (it's in Alaska) shelter are very similar, and seeing two videos from widely separated parts of the world reaffirm it's effectiveness.
