    I seen something like this in an old book but the illustration was not good enough for me to understand how the bottom supports worked. Thank you for showing how it is dune. In the book it was called a "pochers cabin". I wish i could remember the name of the book, but it has been a lest 30 years ago.

    Should your "string" be dyneema or bankliine? Once encircling log ends, can it take sidewise force? Of course, your "fiddling" testing will tell you...

    This man of God, basically formed a bed with no knots. That’s why, every day I look at different people and the way they do things. I’m really starting to understand when people say, don’t be so quick to buy things that people are selling bush crafting. All he used was para. My people parish for the lack of knowledge. You take the 💵, I’ll take the knowledge.

    Bingo! The best way to be stealthy is to blend in to your environment. "Stealthy" does not mean dressing in camo gear or like a Special Forces operative everywhere you go. Great, simple set up, too.

    I think, if I wanted to be stealthy, I would not do a glorified plow point with the added encumbrance of a pole in the middle. I would do a far lower tarp shelters. Good options can be find here: ua-cam.com/video/4W76LyJdNYU/v-deo.html

    I like the dark gray color of the tarp excellent at night also dawn and dusk ? The problem with camouflage patterns only work in certain terrain or environments ? Where as neutral colors can be more adaptable across a wider range of environments ? ? Eg Timber Wolf ?

    • @daveriches99
      @daveriches99 Рік тому

      Thank you for commenting. Of course a tarp still looks like a square of dullness, unless you add some texture, so its not perfect. I can feel a video coming on to illustrate texture.
