I really dig the editing, camera shots, and music for 13:23 - 14:05. I spent a few summers doing volunteer landscaping stuff for charities and such with a bunch of friends, and that bit of the video gave me a very chill nostalgia kind of feeling. Spreading mulch, laughing with friends, feeling worn out but happy. Standing back and looking at the fruits of a long day's labor as the sun dips below the tree line and a peaceful cool breeze comes in. Heading home for a relaxing shower, a good meal, maybe a bit of reading then a night of deep sleep. Getting up at sunrise the next day to do it again. I've enjoyed your videos for a long time, but this one just happened to strike me in that unique nostalgia-triggering way. And you even managed to go two hours without having to reset the injury counter!
I made one in my front yard at my house back in college in the Sierras lol. Actually packed in mud, leaves, twigs, brush ect. Lasted through a whole summer and snowy winter. Big enough too have like 4 people inside for a smoke sesh lol
I live on a hundred hectares and I literally make these (Lean twos, caves holes in the ground)and live in them for any where between a week and a month. I can no joke make one of these in about 2 hours (that’s pretty fast)
I've really enjoyed a few bushcraft youtubers for a while, but never found their project even remotely approachable, even the "basic" ones. This was awesome, one because you guys make this stuff fun, and B, it totally seems like I could just go do that if I had a patch of woods around. Also, in less tame forest I think it might be a little easier then you might think, depending on the quality of leaf litter on the ground. Instead of mulch you might get lucky and just find a crapton of perfect leaves. Still a big chunk of the day, I bet, but you might even have some daylight left if things go well.
To the editor: You did an specially amazing job editing this episode! Everything from the color, to the cuts, to the music created this just perfect, relaxing, almost real life minecraft-esque feel. Really great job!
this is probably just because i've watched this video a million times, because i'm only feeling this now, but something about the childlike joy of brian and jason along with the melancholy lofi gives this whole video those 'last days of summer' vibe
The fact that the video has been up for 3 minutes and that the video is 20 minutes long and you have 100 likes and 200 views suggests that there are alot of loyal subscribers. Solid effort gang
I just saw this shelter in the background of a vid you posted today (Oct. 30th). I made a teepee / tipi in my backyard 9 months ago but didn't have access to the nice cedar trees that you guys did. That cedar will last like forever since it's rot and insect resistant. It would be great against wind and snow...but not rain. The structure I built was made from lengths of 2x4 lumber screwed together to kinda form 4x4 beams (instead of using freshly cut trees like you had access to). I made the beams 20 feet long and the diameter of the base once complete was right at about 20 feet across as well (bigger than what I really need...but size matters !). I used a cheap Walmart polytarp...and after 9 months of being exposed to the elements, the west facing side blew out (sun damaged rot) during a windy Saturday evening. The rest of the tarp was fine...just gotta remember to keep the tarp out of the sun if it's going to be outside for months on end. Currently am replacing the tarp with a couple smaller ones that are more heavy duty and silver / reflective...which may hold up better when exposed to the sunshine (hopefully). It may look like a space ship from a distance...but can't always please the neighbors !! Cheers, Brad
Heres some info on building teepee shelters as you asked. All logs need to be roughly the same length. imagine a circle with a point in the middle. then add a line, and one next to it, ad one next to it, and one next to it, until the entire circle has been filled in. that would be the top-down view of a teepee type shelter. As for the knot on top, as you make the initial poles wider apart, and expand the circle, a loose knot should get tighter due to being stretched. For a semi-permanent shelter, pack on wet clay based mud, (or whatever you have, but clay based works best) over the top of all your logs and brush to fill in gaps, and cover the wood, adding waterproofing and a layer of insulation. Another tip for adding warmth is to dig a trench, about 6 inches deep by a foot wide, under where you would sleep, leading under the walls and outside the shelter. You can fight a fire on it, cover it with a clay or rock slabs, and build bedding of leaves, grass, and a sleeping bag over it. The smoke should vent out through the escape tunnel, and it will heat up the ground under you.
The tossing it at the top idea stems from the instant assumption that rain comes from the top but in a top down perspective your tent is a circle and it's only surface area that matters so starting from the bottom is the best advice
Fun fact: I'm a member of the Lakota souix tribe. And yes the number of sticks and type of construction does determine what you're building. Just like a house is a house, but technically that's not true. At the end of the day, it's all just a shelter.
Hey guys I really really love the way this video was edited. It felt nostalgic. Like the dumb stuff you do with your little brother during the summer. Fantastic.
If you bought more rope and heavy duty rope tent stakes you could throw the rope over top of the three big logs and stake it down making thin long "branches". Then weave leafy branches into the rope and cover it with debris and it would be a quicker way to make a tipi in the wilderness. Make sure you dig out a small hole where the 3 base logs are going into the ground so when you wrap the rope around the top and stake it tightly the 3 base logs become more securely rooted into the ground thus becoming more stable.
I was in boy scouts until I got Eagle and was at a summer camp doing the wilderness survival badge once. One of the requirements was to make a makeshift shelter out of only the things we could gather in the large Forest by the camp, and SLEEP IN IT FOR A NIGHT. I did sort of a triangular prism that was super long with branches leaning from each side held together by 2 central branches running the length of it lashed together on the top and bottom of the crossing areas with vines that grew in the area, then the entire too lashed the whole way round. Fortunately, it had rained heavily the day before so there was a lot of thick mud and wet leaves to seal off all the gaps. So the night rolls around and lo and behold another massive storm was rolling through. I was worried I was gonna get soaked but let me tell you that shit was WATER TIGHT. I was dry as a bone in the morning, most other people being a little wet, but we were all older scouts so nothing major. It something I'm still extremely proud of to this day and it was really fun watching this video! Tip though, I would have advised you gather mulch and dirt together and soak it with water, then let it air out a little, but not all the way. Mud/wet mulch, things of that kind, are excellent for sealing it really tightly. Overall great job though (even if you cheated :) )

Okay... So a few tips: one) try to keep the height below you're height. This helps the thatching process and allows more heat condensing. two) if the base poles are too long causing you to shorten but spread too far outward for the space available, break/saw them off at just over your height, that should allow for a comfortable laying space. three) Build up insulation from the ground, think nesting. This makes a "bubble of shelter" insulating from the ground and the seeping rainwater. Other than that a great first attempt and always cheat if you have the option! Bushcraft isn't about the purity of the art... It's about doing what needs done to survive. Loved this video, it reminded me of my youth in Washington state. Sequoia Forrest shelters and playing cowboys and indians and mountainman.
For makeshift shelters, a smaller one just for sleeping in is usually a better way to spend your calories. A shelter made out of an A-frame that slopes towards the ground that allows you to lay down in it is a good option and not too hard to make. Plus, you use less materials, and your body heat doesn't have to fill up such a large space. Easier to waterproof too as you can easily reach the top of it to lay leaves and brush so that the water runs off. A bigger shelter is a fine choice if you want somewhere to spend time out of the elements, but they require a lot more pre-prep to make well. The Teepee design is a good choice, though obviously some better knot tying is in order. Next time try to find large broad plants to lay on it like shingles and in such a way that water can run down the sides. If you're expecting heavy rain, a small irrigation ditch around the edge and draining away from the inside is something to consider. Also, there usually isn't much of a reason to make it tall enough to stand in, some upright sitting space and room for your camping gear is all you really need (and obviously enough room to lay down). Also, maybe digging holes for the main posts to sit in so that they don't slide out and fall on you in your sleep like a three legged gymnast doing the splits. Just remember that the lower your shelter is the less effected by wind it will be and the less material you'll have to use, saving time and energy, and putting less weight on the structure overall.
To answer your question about height: I was taught to stand up straight, put my arm straight up in the wait fingers to the sky, then bend my wrist at a right angle, this is your max shelter height. The two main reasons for this are; (a) that is the max height you can really maneuver something above your head comfortably without needing some additional tool (which is wasted time and calories in a survival situation, and (b) the larger your shelter the more "void" space it has inside it, and by extension more space your body heat or fire will have to warm for you to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Dear Modern Rogue, I have been watching your videos for years now and I would like to offer my advice as an Eagle Scout based in San Antonio. the best way to tie a tripod is to basically go over the first, under the second, over the third, back under the third, over the second, etc. I reccomend doing this at least 3-5 times to get a nice sturdy base to then put up. SIncerely, The Modern Eagle
I've been watching this channel for a couple of weeks now, and the subtitles have some of my favorite jokes [Jason laughs in a way that is both impressed and disappointed] Whoever's on the subtitles game, you're absolutely killing it. A+ to this whole channel
Hey Guys, When you first tie them together go about a foot and a half down from the ends to give yourself a larger crows mouth to set the other logs in, next you set 1 log in each opening around and keep going around the structure like that till you fill in all area as much as you can, minus the opening ofc.
When you are laying branches and foliage on the shelter (step 2) you should layer the branches and leaves from the bottom down (like house shingles) providing rain a way to travel down without going underneath the stuff below it.
That end credits bit showing it 2 months later was amazing. Seeing that it still was sturdy enough to be there for a while. Well done Modern Rogue Team.
Nice tee-wam-yurt... I read in a book once about how a tribe made their shelters out of freshly cut turf/sod. First they erected the wooden frames, got them study, and then stacked the squares of dirt and grass and roots around like bricks (almost Minecraft-esque). It occurred to me during phase three that you guys might have just as well dug a cave into the mulch pile and lived there, it might have been easier... (By the way, the outro with the camera guy showing the aftermath of the shelter was a nice touch... and a testament to the build.)
It's not knots that you needed to learn for this episode, but lashings (which could be an episode of their own -- there are probably fewer lashings to teach, but each will take longer than a knot). Knots are for tying rope together or to things, such as making loops or tying the rope to a branch, but lashings are for tying things together, such as two or more logs. I don't know if these are called different things elsewhere, but these are the two lashings I remember from Boy Scouts: the shear lashing will tie together parallel logs so it's good for making tripods (like in this video), and the square lashing will tie together perpendicular logs.
Back in middle school, some friends and I built a shelter beneath a tree in the nearby woods. We stood up branches and tied them together using vines to make walls, and used leafy branches and large fronds to make overhead cover. We actually stayed in it for a bit when a short but sudden storm came through and we were completely dry when it passed. Not too bad for a bunch of kids just goofing off and having fun.
18:14 what you should do is make a cross lash with a long trunk and a short/narrow one, lay it over the opening, and use the short part as the top of a small opening.
An easier one to make (in my opinion) is something which I only know the Norwegian name of, and that is gapahuk. (also it's a bit more stealthy) You make a frame out of logs, and it tapers to the ground at the back, and that is the roof. You can also make it between 2 trees, which is the easier variant. Though if you are prepared you should bring a hammock, and a tarp you can put above it in case there is rain. Also bring a sleeping bag, and you can use your clothes as a pillow if you need that.
... I think the shelter might be a tad overbuilt. Lighter brush/ branches could probably be used more extensively as thatch (and if you're using thatch you need to be careful of the overall angle of the roof if you want it to be watertight) and the thatch should be reasonably thick, but hey whatever works
You had the opportunity to start playing the Minecraft soundtrack right after the Minecraft joke and you blew it. I'm not mad..... I'm just disappointed.
@@Matando doubt that C418 owns copyright to it if he wants he can strike anyone shit youtube algorythm does most of it i havent seen a mc gaming channel that actually plays the music
You created the waddle. What you need is the daub. Mix your mulch with clay mud and mold into the spaces between the branches. That will make the exterior water/air tight.
If you know it's going to rain you could also add in an irrigation ditch so it doesn't flood in case you managed to put your shelter at the base of a hill or in a low lying area. Or elevate your "bedding" area with dirt and leaves.
something to consider with any structure is the prevailing wind direction. You want the bulk of the structure to face into the primary wind direction so it will block most weather. You should also make sure you are not in a low piece of land were water will pool or seep in from under the wall.
In these survival topic videos, it would be neat to see Brian and Jason's attempts next to an expert on the subject. That way we'd get both B&J's delightful banter and great how-to info.
would be a cool idea, with this now, like around Halloween, or in October, have the whole camping thing going on, mixed with a video about how to fake those "lost tape" videos, as a kind of ode to the ghost hunting episode, an episode playin a episode disguised as another episode!!
@@TheStrangerous even better, have the "monster" of the episode either be the changeling, or Dresspants Robotman coming after you guys for not putting him in more of the recent videos! just him going full on Meta (that or angry after Brian took his head off in the face-casting video)
Just a little history: This type of structure appears in primitive cultures around the world. The North American version, of course, used bison skin as the outer cover, but they invented something that was not found in other cultures. They are the only ones where an inner lining was used. The outer skin reached almost all the way to the ground and left a gap for air to circulate in/out. The inner lining was used in the winter to keep the tipi warm. It was tied to the inside of the poles and reached from the ground up as high as necessary, but at the bottom it folded in to keep cold air from rushing through. The cold air had to move up between the skins. In the winter when a fire was built inside, the flow of air upward through the skins created a draft that carried smoke upwards and out instead of filling the tipi with smoke. If there was a strong wind, an external wind break was piled up on the windward side of the tipi. A structure like this with a high interior skin and a fire could be livable down to -30 degrees F. The general shape of the outer skin is a semicircle with the radius being the height of the poles up to the tied part of the poles. If you are thinking of making one using available tarps or plastic from the hardware store, a 10-ft wide piece of plastic needs to be 20 feet long to make the semicircle shape. You can use bamboo or PVC pipe for the poles. If you sleep in a plastic tent, rain sounds like continual drumming, but you will stay dry. The general construction was as you did it. Tripod first, poles leaned in second, and then covered with skin. The skin was pulled up to the top by a rope thrown over the top of the tripod. It went on loose, ends tied together at the door, and then the poles were kicked out to tighten the skin. After the US Army and buffalo hunters killed off all the bison, the Army provided canvas to be used as the skin. Another fun fact: before the Europeans arrived with horses, tipi shelters were disassembled to be hauled around by dogs. Dogs could not carry very long poles for very long, so the pole length was limited to around 10 feet. After horses arrived, the biggest tipi poles grew to 23 feet. Google images for travois to see the dog and the horse versions. Another fun fact: tipi assembly and teardown was women's work. The men did not know how tipis were made. Selecting poles, debarking, tapering/shaping the poles, skinning animals, tying, and anything else was done by the women.
Putting brush in from bottom to top is best, as it helps with water shedding (means lower branches are under higher branches, stopping water from getting in. If higher branches are under lower branches, they essentially guide the water under the rest of the brush and into the shelter).
I got a couple things I think may make it better. 1 if you can find like large leaves or maybe a tarp to cover the door. 2 take some of the mulch and throw it inside for a beading material so you can conserve as much heat as possible.
if you had a short stout log 2 feet wide 2 feet long you could stand on it and lash it with it standing up or if you have branches with a Y at one end then you can rest the other two in the Y and stand it up often where i live near the coast you can find people myself included build them on the beach for reference in live in California. 8:00 you can use large flat sections of bar off redwood trees although i really depends on where your are location wise. large chunks of moss and grass help with filling gaps and preventing water from getting through fine root systems with dirt helps prevent water from going through.

two) if the base poles are too long causing you to shorten but spread too far outward for the space available, break/saw them off at just over your height, that should allow for a comfortable laying space.
three) Build up insulation from the ground, think nesting. This makes a "bubble of shelter" insulating from the ground and the seeping rainwater.
Other than that a great first attempt and always cheat if you have the option! Bushcraft isn't about the purity of the art... It's about doing what needs done to survive. Loved this video, it reminded me of my youth in Washington state. Sequoia Forrest shelters and playing cowboys and indians and mountainman.
one fo the best channels on here. I've been watching yall for years and every time i get that notification i HAVE to watch it. Keep it up lads!
This channel is by far my favorite ever. I’m always entertained and learn something almost every time! You guys deserve way more subs :)
"Very sneaky, sis" - Brian Brushwood 2019
For makeshift shelters, a smaller one just for sleeping in is usually a better way to spend your calories. A shelter made out of an A-frame that slopes towards the ground that allows you to lay down in it is a good option and not too hard to make. Plus, you use less materials, and your body heat doesn't have to fill up such a large space. Easier to waterproof too as you can easily reach the top of it to lay leaves and brush so that the water runs off.
A bigger shelter is a fine choice if you want somewhere to spend time out of the elements, but they require a lot more pre-prep to make well. The Teepee design is a good choice, though obviously some better knot tying is in order. Next time try to find large broad plants to lay on it like shingles and in such a way that water can run down the sides. If you're expecting heavy rain, a small irrigation ditch around the edge and draining away from the inside is something to consider. Also, there usually isn't much of a reason to make it tall enough to stand in, some upright sitting space and room for your camping gear is all you really need (and obviously enough room to lay down). Also, maybe digging holes for the main posts to sit in so that they don't slide out and fall on you in your sleep like a three legged gymnast doing the splits.
Just remember that the lower your shelter is the less effected by wind it will be and the less material you'll have to use, saving time and energy, and putting less weight on the structure overall.
Brian and Jason: "We did this right!"
Wind: "I'm about to ruin these men's whole career"
The combination of the atx climate and the trees that you’re using make that shelter EXTREMELY flammable
I just got home from work and a new Modern Rogue video is out, The timing couldn't be better!
To answer your question about height:
I was taught to stand up straight, put my arm straight up in the wait fingers to the sky, then bend my wrist at a right angle, this is your max shelter height. The two main reasons for this are; (a) that is the max height you can really maneuver something above your head comfortably without needing some additional tool (which is wasted time and calories in a survival situation, and (b) the larger your shelter the more "void" space it has inside it, and by extension more space your body heat or fire will have to warm for you to maintain a comfortable temperature.
DJFelixChester excellent tips. Thank you.
I like how Brian just volunteered Jason to get hosed on.
He volun-told him 😂
Dear Modern Rogue,
I have been watching your videos for years now and I would like to offer my advice as an Eagle Scout based in San Antonio.
the best way to tie a tripod is to basically go over the first, under the second, over the third, back under the third, over the second, etc. I reccomend doing this at least 3-5 times to get a nice sturdy base to then put up.
SIncerely,
The Modern Eagle
"Really try and push it, nothings moving"
**log moves**
I've been watching this channel for a couple of weeks now, and the subtitles have some of my favorite jokes
[Jason laughs in a way that is both impressed and disappointed]
Whoever's on the subtitles game, you're absolutely killing it. A+ to this whole channel
Definitely one of the best shows are TH-cam!!!!
The title should be. Brian and Jason spend a day making a tree fort.
Shh we cant let the girls know!! Er m8ght get cutieeees
Please do more of this survival stuff/bushcraft stuff, this was by far my favorite episode in a long time! love it!
You should try glima
It’s a form orphan martial art used created by Vikings, it can be done with or without weapons
Hey Guys, When you first tie them together go about a foot and a half down from the ends to give yourself a larger crows mouth to set the other logs in, next you set 1 log in each opening around and keep going around the structure like that till you fill in all area as much as you can, minus the opening ofc.
Kal Random Thank you! That’s helpful.
Watching Murphy chop trees brings me intense joy.
When you are laying branches and foliage on the shelter (step 2) you should layer the branches and leaves from the bottom down (like house shingles) providing rain a way to travel down without going underneath the stuff below it.
The boy scout part of me is screaming at Jason and Brian as I watch...
Same bro
Same
Same man
Totally same
Same here
As a Boy Scout I am deeply offended by their knot tying ability.
W Reams same here. Same here.
As a scout leader I feel like they need an episode about how to tie structures together.
Haha, they didn't realise that a lashing is an actual knot. Don't they even check google? 3 wraps, 3 fraps
I'm a boy scout and I can barley tie knots
at least use a square knot rather than that twisted double overhand.
tfw Jason's haphazard worry knots end up being a semi-correct tripod lash
That end credits bit showing it 2 months later was amazing. Seeing that it still was sturdy enough to be there for a while. Well done Modern Rogue Team.
14:17 Well, the show was never called The Modern Mage...
I’ll see myself out
Nice tee-wam-yurt...
I read in a book once about how a tribe made their shelters out of freshly cut turf/sod. First they erected the wooden frames, got them study, and then stacked the squares of dirt and grass and roots around like bricks (almost Minecraft-esque).
It occurred to me during phase three that you guys might have just as well dug a cave into the mulch pile and lived there, it might have been easier...
(By the way, the outro with the camera guy showing the aftermath of the shelter was a nice touch... and a testament to the build.)
The immortal not-dying man, as played by Brian Brushwood
I live in germany and love to watch those videos right before going to bed. They're interesting and get me calm.
Brian: It's fine.
***Jason moves***
Also Brian: Don't touch it ***laughing***
It's not knots that you needed to learn for this episode, but lashings (which could be an episode of their own -- there are probably fewer lashings to teach, but each will take longer than a knot). Knots are for tying rope together or to things, such as making loops or tying the rope to a branch, but lashings are for tying things together, such as two or more logs. I don't know if these are called different things elsewhere, but these are the two lashings I remember from Boy Scouts: the shear lashing will tie together parallel logs so it's good for making tripods (like in this video), and the square lashing will tie together perpendicular logs.
*PHASE 4: LIGHT IT ON FIRE!*
Back in middle school, some friends and I built a shelter beneath a tree in the nearby woods. We stood up branches and tied them together using vines to make walls, and used leafy branches and large fronds to make overhead cover. We actually stayed in it for a bit when a short but sudden storm came through and we were completely dry when it passed. Not too bad for a bunch of kids just goofing off and having fun.
The shelter looked really really good. Just a few more patch ups and it would have been amazing.
"Guys Against the Woods" Aw man Jason always cracks me up
17:28 Brian got Jason back for shooting the blow gun over his shoulder lol
18:14 what you should do is make a cross lash with a long trunk and a short/narrow one, lay it over the opening, and use the short part as the top of a small opening.
Men Beating The Wood!
the new show from The Modern Rouge
draco5991rep sorry no there are too many dirty minds on the internet.
@@redpandazoologic2731 what is dirty about beating wood?
Morning wood and if you can’t see where that goes god bless you
@@redpandazoologic2731 a morning in the woods is usally pretty lovely
Exclusively through a new partnership with Brazzers!
An easier one to make (in my opinion) is something which I only know the Norwegian name of, and that is gapahuk. (also it's a bit more stealthy)
You make a frame out of logs, and it tapers to the ground at the back, and that is the roof. You can also make it between 2 trees, which is the easier variant.
Though if you are prepared you should bring a hammock, and a tarp you can put above it in case there is rain.
Also bring a sleeping bag, and you can use your clothes as a pillow if you need that.
Primitive Rogue Technology seems like a promising series.
Yesss, I am 100% down for this being a theme on the channel. So, so many things you could do with it and so very rogueish
... I think the shelter might be a tad overbuilt. Lighter brush/ branches could probably be used more extensively as thatch (and if you're using thatch you need to be careful of the overall angle of the roof if you want it to be watertight) and the thatch should be reasonably thick, but hey whatever works
You had the opportunity to start playing the Minecraft soundtrack right after the Minecraft joke and you blew it.
I'm not mad..... I'm just disappointed.
No its copyrighted so im pretty sure thats why they didnt

we need a livestream of these two in the wilderness and for them to go full primitive
* Brian throws mulch at Jason *
BRIAN IS MULCH MAN
Cus I'm a modern muuuuulch!!!
You created the waddle. What you need is the daub. Mix your mulch with clay mud and mold into the spaces between the branches. That will make the exterior water/air tight.
couldn't you also pack mud into the inside of the hut to stop rain/water? specifically after the mud hardens.
If you know it's going to rain you could also add in an irrigation ditch so it doesn't flood in case you managed to put your shelter at the base of a hill or in a low lying area. Or elevate your "bedding" area with dirt and leaves.
“When I go off the grid, I intend to have gloves”
When, Not if, When.
something to consider with any structure is the prevailing wind direction. You want the bulk of the structure to face into the primary wind direction so it will block most weather. You should also make sure you are not in a low piece of land were water will pool or seep in from under the wall.
This is why I'm still up at 2am here in Finland. CAUSE I'M A MODERN ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGUE!!
Same for me in England, but at 12am
I've been awake all night here in sweden watching this all night too and it's 12:34pm now lol
Holy fuck, guys. This is the GOLDEN AGE OF THE MODERN ROGUE! I am blessed to live in this era.
We need a modern rogue minecraft server.
In these survival topic videos, it would be neat to see Brian and Jason's attempts next to an expert on the subject. That way we'd get both B&J's delightful banter and great how-to info.
this is exactly what i was hoping for today
would be a cool idea, with this now, like around Halloween, or in October, have the whole camping thing going on, mixed with a video about how to fake those "lost tape" videos, as a kind of ode to the ghost hunting episode, an episode playin a episode disguised as another episode!!
Snowy Silverclaw Don’t tempt me!
@@TheStrangerous even better, have the "monster" of the episode either be the changeling, or Dresspants Robotman coming after you guys for not putting him in more of the recent videos! just him going full on Meta (that or angry after Brian took his head off in the face-casting video)
Brian better watch out.
Jason owes him one for that dirty hose trick.
Just a little history: This type of structure appears in primitive cultures around the world. The North American version, of course, used bison skin as the outer cover, but they invented something that was not found in other cultures. They are the only ones where an inner lining was used. The outer skin reached almost all the way to the ground and left a gap for air to circulate in/out. The inner lining was used in the winter to keep the tipi warm. It was tied to the inside of the poles and reached from the ground up as high as necessary, but at the bottom it folded in to keep cold air from rushing through. The cold air had to move up between the skins. In the winter when a fire was built inside, the flow of air upward through the skins created a draft that carried smoke upwards and out instead of filling the tipi with smoke. If there was a strong wind, an external wind break was piled up on the windward side of the tipi. A structure like this with a high interior skin and a fire could be livable down to -30 degrees F. The general shape of the outer skin is a semicircle with the radius being the height of the poles up to the tied part of the poles. If you are thinking of making one using available tarps or plastic from the hardware store, a 10-ft wide piece of plastic needs to be 20 feet long to make the semicircle shape. You can use bamboo or PVC pipe for the poles. If you sleep in a plastic tent, rain sounds like continual drumming, but you will stay dry.
The general construction was as you did it. Tripod first, poles leaned in second, and then covered with skin. The skin was pulled up to the top by a rope thrown over the top of the tripod. It went on loose, ends tied together at the door, and then the poles were kicked out to tighten the skin. After the US Army and buffalo hunters killed off all the bison, the Army provided canvas to be used as the skin.
Another fun fact: before the Europeans arrived with horses, tipi shelters were disassembled to be hauled around by dogs. Dogs could not carry very long poles for very long, so the pole length was limited to around 10 feet. After horses arrived, the biggest tipi poles grew to 23 feet. Google images for travois to see the dog and the horse versions.
Another fun fact: tipi assembly and teardown was women's work. The men did not know how tipis were made. Selecting poles, debarking, tapering/shaping the poles, skinning animals, tying, and anything else was done by the women.
Fantastic shelter, it would keep you dry for a whole 5 minutes!
You guys GOTTA do more of this
You called it a temporary shelter but you got the *GRASS TOP*
- A tribute to Jason's Minecraft joke.
Zemperus green top not grass top boomer
This channel is great. Love the outdoor survival stuff. thanks guys.
last step build the some headquaters around it and it will be good
or burie it undernith a mountain
Putting brush in from bottom to top is best, as it helps with water shedding (means lower branches are under higher branches, stopping water from getting in. If higher branches are under lower branches, they essentially guide the water under the rest of the brush and into the shelter).

My inner boy scout is going *tripod lashing*
ayy Lmao Mine too! Practically screaming it
Mine did so much that I made a comment telling them how to do it.
While their lashing was nowhere close to correct, tee-pee lashing is different from a standard tripod lashing.
Just silently thinking wrap and frap, but nobody else knows what that means because it’s the 21st century.
It got worse with each overhand knot.
I got a couple things I think may make it better. 1 if you can find like large leaves or maybe a tarp to cover the door. 2 take some of the mulch and throw it inside for a beading material so you can conserve as much heat as possible.
Bryan it's fine
Also Bryan "DONT TOUCH IT"
if you had a short stout log 2 feet wide 2 feet long you could stand on it and lash it with it standing up or if you have branches with a Y at one end then you can rest the other two in the Y and stand it up often where i live near the coast you can find people myself included build them on the beach for reference in live in California. 8:00 you can use large flat sections of bar off redwood trees although i really depends on where your are location wise. large chunks of moss and grass help with filling gaps and preventing water from getting through fine root systems with dirt helps prevent water from going through.
