Love the “can do attitude “. This is a so realistic video, you’re figuring it out . Best real life survival/ outdoor video I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for your creative ideas. 👍
Thanks for the video. I live in Wyoming. If someone had to survive in the woods here on a cold winter night, the first shelter with the wall would be ideal. In that one, a person doesn't have to heat more than a small triangle of space. I often have several days in a row of winds over twenty miles an hour with gusts in the 50 mph range. Maybe that one would survive. The problem would be finding the stakes. I don't have a tree within a mile of my home in any direction. My ground is also too rocky to drive stakes easily. I would probably need a small sledge and large spikes for the staking and some kind of metal post to drive into the ground for the high support. I grew up where I could push sticks into the ground as you do. Where I live now, nothing goes into the ground without heavy pounding. The second one would be great for a warm night with little wind. A Wyoming wind would kill the second and third ones. The third one would also be great for a warm night with little wind. I used to do something similar in campgrounds. I would tie the corners of a short end of the tarp to a picnic bench. I would stretch out the tarp longways and stake the corners to the ground. In a survival situation, we aren't likely to have a picnic table, but two trees about six or seven feet apart will do the job. No matter what, tarps and cordage are crucial for making temporary shelter in a survival situation.
Whoa, rock ground and high winds, those are extreme conditions my friend! Thanks for the commentary and I think that would be tough situation to overnight in! Hearing of others environments just opens up more questions as to what would work! Wow rock .... 👍
@Level3Readiness I like to practice before I do anything. I also am a budget minded bushcraft / survival person and pick up most items through trade thrift stores and yard sales . I improvise, adapt and overcome
I used a 6x8 tarp with my motorcycle, first I fold a 2x6 floor then use remaining 6x6 in a plow point, the Home Depot 6x8 tarp has the grommets @ 2 feet which makes it easy.
That sounds like a great adventure, I've camped with my bike but brought a small tent, I can really appreciate the minimalistic approach! Do you still ride?
I'll have to play around with that idea, also thinking of adding some grommets to allow a wider floor on option 1. We'll see, and the "glutton" for punishment kind a guy I am, I won't to try setting it up in the rain. I think Id just be getting into option 1 soaking wet, but... Id still like to give it s go lol
I’m wondering if I used the same size bed sheet that’s waterproofed !? It’ll be lighter & quieter plus low cost !? Also a decent size piece of mosquito netting to drape for air flow & no bugs ?? Let me know if you’ll do a test on that, good idea you have on that first configuration
I am looking forward to getting out in the wild with the tarp next week, are you asking for a trial of the mosquito netting or the waterproofed sheet? Also what would you waterproof it with? Another question, cotton sheets? Polyester? Good outside the box thinking 👊
@@Level3Readiness Other videos shows how to waterproof 100% cotton, the higher weave is better I’m sure even used old ones to test first to save money “king size” is what I’ve seen used…Thanks for responding
Ok selter 1. Dam never seen that before reminds me of this picture I seen of a really old bear trapper who tied bark together in a tube to climb into for a few nights and it was a really old picture
😂🤣😂 Planning to add some extra grommets and see how much I can open my sleeping quarters, I know at this point in my game, I'd sleep much more sound with that false sense of security a $5 tarp wall can provide 😂

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that, really encouraging for me to keep at it!!! 👊
Really good budget set up ,
Thanks brother, I'll try it out hopefully in the coming week 👊 with all the rain in our forecast I may be testing its true worth 😂
Thanks for the video.

Sweet video mate, earned yourself a new sub ✌🏻
Thanks!!! Really appreciated 👊
All good ideas it would completely depend on the season and the weather at the time
Oh yeah! Its all gotta be environment specific for survival. Glad my current environment isn't hostile 😊

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My pleasure friend 👊
one more idea for you if you have a picnic table at your campsite just drape the tarp over top of it and weigh it down so it doesn't blow away.
Great idea, like you said if pic nic tables are available... Then I'm watching out for spiders and bubblegum 😉 thanks for the sharing 👊

cool
Thanks my friend 👊 gonna see how it fares in the field soon!
Damned good video! Thanks!
Thanks man, appreciate that 👊
Thanks for the ideas, going to stick with the 3D Triangle and 1 Stick or Tree to hold it up :)
Sounds like a solid choice 👊 I hope to be fortunate enough to try many configurations in the weeks ahead... Wish me luck 🤞
You forgot to add the cost of the ground sheet and tie down stakes unless they make their own.
lol no ground sheet 👍 but you got me on the stakes though, but given time, they can be carved! Thanks for the observation 👊
Plow point or low A frame. Or if wet gound C frame
Thanks for the suggestions 👊 I'll experiment with those and the 6' x 8' ... Should be fun 👍
Option 2 and 3. Way more room. Maybe an angled L shaped type config?

Thanks man, its unconventional for sure but Definitely doable. I think I can make it better by adding a few strategically placed grommets.
Bro exactly thrival
That's what I'm talking bout! 👊
😂😂😂 the endings 👌
🤣 Thanks for hanging in there to see em 👊
You do need to drop the wall..

Dam got house an garage
Don't forget the tarp shelter 😉
Lol I just read this again... You meant the tarp... 🤣😂🤣 I'm slow in the mornings and pre coffee 😂🤣😂
