Stay in the Woods,

Did he just say "happy sock" lol
Too funny
I dont care who you are thats funny
LMAO!!!!
Starched or unstarched?
I think he said don't blow out your tarp while using your happy sock😂
Did you REALLY say "happy sock" AND keep a straight face?!?!?! LoL!!! You are AWESOME sir!!! LoL!!!
I'm at the age now that my camping days are over, unless I'm camping at a hilton garden. But I still watch all of these videos because I have 5 kids and 7 grandkids so I can show them stuff,
Plus Dan, you make them so damn fun to watch! I love your stuff and you have a channel that is fan friendly, unlike some others, keep up the great work, take care.
I know it isn't the same, but camping in an RV still gets you out there. Might be wroth considering.
I feel the same so I take a bivi or a poncho and sometimes just freeze the night away. I arrive late and leave very early. It sure beats a warm bed when I’m needing the outdoors to clear my head.
@bobg.8954 There's still hammock camping! I'm 67 and plan to keep at this until I'm 80 (at least)! I just took my 8 year old grandson on his first hike last week! My twin granddaughters aren't interested but I still have hope. They're nine so they may change their minds.
You must be really really old. I'm 72 and my camping days are far from over.
@@USMC6976 I'll alert the media! Everyone! Everyone! @USMC6976 can still go camping! Isn't he special? Some of us aren't in the best health or, we're caretakers for people who aren't able to do things, but by God he can still go camping! Give him a big round of applause!
I use a variation of this shelter all the time, I carry a cut tennis ball for the stick in the middle. Greetings from Germany
I've found an easier way to do something similar is by putting an acorn in the middle to make a "button" and using a little rope to tie the top to an overhanging (safe) branch. It isn't quite as prone to tipping over as the central stick method, and gets a similar result.
Could also use a little rock
You could also put a tripod over the tent for a similar result
And no center pole in the way...👊
ironic that you say acorn, my granpa told me a story of him using a squirrel skull to make a tent using the exact method you described. He told me to twist it (the tarp) off like a bread bag, and for some reason that little tidbit of info has stayed with me for years.
My ex wife used to use pinecones
I love your sock skull on a stick! 😂 Nice tipi... 👍🏻
Yeah, 2:39, skull of a sock puppet! Glad somebody else saw it too!
There's a much easier and faster way to do this exact pitch....stake the back two corners, take the front two and bring them together and stake them together, add the pole. I would also be cautious and leave at least one of the gaps for ventilation, other than needing to breathe, it will help what would be a condensation nightmare. And yea, gotta say it haha....A happy sock would be so stiff it would kill the tarp🤣
I like how simple it is and that it doesn’t require a fancy tarp with many loops. I will definitely try this out before it gets too cold. Thanks from Japan! :)
I think I saw Ace Ventura do that with a rhino or hippo ... LoL!!!
Thank you for the inside view! I've seen this one before, but never seen what it looks like inside, and I truly appreciate that!
WOW best tarp tent ever
Myself and friends did this growing up, if I remember correctly it always fell over in the night. SO I think this will work better. Thank You 👍🇺🇸🗽
I like this shelter design i used it in the rain one time it worked out perfectly
This is by far my favorite tarp setup - I setup a bug net on the inside along with a floor liner to help keep out the spiders. I've been bitten too many times and the older I get the less enjoyable it becomes!!!!
No offense, but at that point you might as well pack a 1 person Teton tent or something 😉 Same function, smaller footprint, less weight.
@@JoeMac1983 No offense taken - I have tents also but in the early fall I enjoy using my tarp instead. Personal preference!!!!
@@JoeMac1983 Yeah, I've found a small tent is comparable in weight, and usually packs in tighter (when crammed in to it's bag) Usually takes up less space than larger tarps like this.
@@JoeMac1983 Sure, but if one wants one shelter that can do many different things, then a tarp is better. The only time I want a dedicated tent is for winter, because tents are too hot in my area for most of the rest of the year. Meanwhile, the tarp can do the winter style, but it can also be set up to have A LOT of air flow unlike most tents.
This adaptability is a big advantage. Especially so if there is ever a collapse of modern civilization (and we are only one strong Solar storm away from that. In fact, ironically, in 2012, we missed a civilization collapsing CME just by 9 days).
By far, you are the aficionado, the chef's kiss, of tarpage. Thanks for the great video!
I really appreciate all the knowledge you pack into your videos. Keep up the good stuff!
Thank you Sir , Much RESPECT.
I'm trying it this weekend . 🤠🖖
The Birds were singing Beautifully that day. 💖
I never stop learning ! Thank you !
Cool shelter. Thanks, Dan!
Gonna teach this to my kids
very neat. my immidiate after thought is, well this would be extra cool with a 20'x20' tarp.
Agreed, but how tall should the central stake be?
10 foot
Wow !!! That was awesome Dan!! It dont look that hard to do either !! I will try this . Thanks for another tool for the toolbox! Take care and stay safe my friend!!
Brilliant video and very clear - thank you! 😊
Thank you for this video. This looks like an excellent approach to some heavy-duty shelter.
Nice setup. Thanks for showing us and take care.
Great tent! Thanks
Thanks, Dan! My Gum Blanket is arriving, tomorrow! I can’t wait!
Awesome video Dan definitely gonna use it in the future!!!
Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures and skills in the wild outdoors
Very practical knowledge.
Great 👍 love tarps.
You certainly don't want a blow-out with your happy sock. Great video Dan!
Awesome as per usual!
As always very useful and to the point! Thanks
Just got my tarp in.
3×3 meter, aim Dutch.
Gonna try dis tomorrow!
Thenx I needed this example of proper tarp use. 😄
That’s far out man! Never seen this before, thanks Dan.
This is super cool!
Best vid yet!
lol thanks for this i gotta walk from louisana to michigan shortly this was exactly what i needed .. i got everything else down in my growing up saves some time
I like this configuration.
Thanks Dan!
Great video! Thanks
Dude, gonna use this on the weekend with the kids. Yes!
Love your channel my friend.
Very nice and even pratice in the back yard
Pretty useful advice and video!!!
Another very informative video, thanks...
Haven't seen your vids in my feed in ages.
Ok this is awesome. Thanks
Off Topic Question?
What do you do about Mosquitos? I'm from New Jersey and they really are annoying here. Any suggestions? By the way I subscribe to your channel because it gets to point, no fluff!!! Thanx for your time
I personally like to start a small fire and let it just smoke all night. I keep my skin covered and throw a net over my face. I keep bug repellent handy, but it’s usually not needed. Picking a good camp spot is also key. Away from water, and being where there is a bit of a breeze helps. I know you wasn’t asking for my opinion, but I just thought I’d share what I’ve learned and what works for me.
🙏🏻
@@donnydread7631
Your opinion is appreciated,sharing ideas are what it’s about.
Didnt think about being near a water source. That a big help.
Thanx
Thermacell. I don't go hunting without one
I’ve been hearing about these lately. Everyone who uses them swears buy them.
Going try this next time I go out. Thanks
Might give this a try for my next overnighter with my riding group mates. Cheers, mate.
Nice!
Great video. Thank you.
Hey 👍 another great video pal 🎥 and some comedy 😂we had a saying as teenagers, never go to bed without at least one sock 😅😂 🇮🇪❤️
The simplest and best way to build a "pyramid" shaped tarp/tent is to take your 10 foot X 10 foot (or whatever square tarp you have) and stake down TWO corners. Then grab the remaining two corners and pull them away from the first two and stake them down together. Put your 5 foot pole in the middle and you're done. Easy. (Maybe it will take a longer pole than 5 foot. It's been years since I put one of these up. Since I got married, my wife always pitches my tent.) . . . .
🤣 happy sock!!!
That's super useful Fella! I just HAVE to try this out at my local Woods. I thought about making a kind of lean to or pitched shelter using bungee cords between Trees. Might as well try all ideas and see which i prefer eh? 😂 Thanks again! 👍🤝🤘
Cool structure
Good job
This reminds me of the WWII German Zeltbahn shelter. It used 4 triangular shelter quarters buttoned together with a center pole, staked out on all sides. I can confirm that they are warm in the summer.
Cheers from Aussie Dave in Central PA ;)
Good video. Good job. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Thanks Dan! On these bottomless tarp setups,1) how do you prevent the rain from flooding into the tent under the walls? 2) How do you manage critters (Bugs, snakes, rodents, etc)
For rain you can create a drainage ditch and for the critters I would look for larger logs and place them around the edge of the Tarp or just use dirt to cover the edge of the Tarp.
this would have been great knowledge for me 4 years ago when i did my first tarp camp in the snow. everyone else had hammocks and was laughing at me digging a hole in snow to set up a little A-frame. little did they know i was still nice and toasty while they all complained how cold it was.
Good stuff! Thankee!
A really cool video! Respect what experience you have with bushcraft. You are one of my best youtubers I watch!
Kind regards Connar Outdoor
Outstanding thank you
Very nice
.....phenomenal. 😶
Have to try with my 9x9
Reviewing this again as I just bought a 10x10 tarp light enough for the pack. I gave my 5x7 Arctaurus tarp a test in bad weather in the back yard and also found that a 5x7 sucks for comfort outside of a lean to even for an emergency. Got the Kalinco coming and will have my Arctaurus 5x7 as a ground sheet for my fall/winter hunt pack for emergency.
I didn't test tarp camping solo where I am as I'm in grizzly country.
Still if I get stuck in the bush in cold weather I'd still have an open end like the one in another video of yours to accommodate a fire. Nice to have ideas for options.
rains a lot over there. 👍👍👍
THANK YOU 👣🌲🌲🌲
Genius!
Take your happy sock dam thats funny
Thank you
Just what I was looking for, glad I refound your channel man
I prefer the term "special sock".
That's not a happy face but an angry face that you made out of your sock! LOL
I've used a variety of tarps in different configurations but prefer just a 2 man small dome tent for shelter. It's a little extra weight but worth it if you want or need 360° of coverage especially in a hurry.
Love your vids, learning and packing away the tools in my toolbox, Thanx. FYI lines and tarps are tight when taut, and poking fun at someone is a taunt. I shall taunt you no more, keep your ridgeline and tarp lines taut.
I haven't laughed so hard recently, as when you hit your own face with that stick 😂.... it was so unexpected!
2:30 my happy sock? I dont think mine bends like that anymore.
Loved the video but I would like to see a video with a couple different configurations with your dutchware tarp. I'm thinking about purchasing that one.
Giant wolf spiders will be all about that they love tents and tarps, couldn't keep them off of mine.
A tarp pitch can be the best 4 season shelter.
It has to go tight to the ground on all sides and have a wood stove inside if it is going to be any good in a winter blizzard. The whole outfit cannot weigh more than 4 lbs. if backpackers are going to use it. A 10’x10’ tarp only needs to be pegged on the 4 corners with as many pegs as it takes to be secure in any wind. No grommets are needed. It has space for 2 cooking or 4 sleeping.
The chimney can serve as 1 of the 40” long corner poles. Sticks that have a small nail driven in both ends (head pinched off). One end stays put on the ground, the other end through a reinforced point exactly in the corner 40” from the edge of the tarp.
All sides can be raised forming an umbrella to cool off, heat from the stove or summer sun.
It's 4:30 in the morning and I want to go camping
I generally keep the gap at the bottom open with a fully enclosed tarp. Helps with ventilation. I've even kept that gap open at below 0°F temps. It was fine.
So, hey man, do you have anything that you do with your spouse? I really like your improvised shelters. They are awesome. But having your loved one rely upon an emergency shelter would be a great vid! My bug out/survival plans would invariably include her. And knowing there was that additional room would be a great amount of peace of mind. 😁
happy sock :D xD Good one :D
nice
You gave yourself a sock in the eye!
That sock-stick doubles as a wizards staff and mob torch.
Thanks
Your case take out your happy sock😂from left field
Great job Dan. Another tool for the toolbox! I’m probably going to have to watch it a couple more times and then practice it in the backyard before I take it on the road. Do I have to pretend that I don’t have any trees like you did? Cheers
So, the footprint is a 10' equilateral triangle. If you want ventilation just add about 6 inches of cord between the 6 grommets and the six stakes. Also, you could make the door easier to enter by adding a seventh stake so there is one on each side of the door. Attach sticks to each side of the door covering so that gravity holds it in whatever position you want.
Never thought to pack that sock
