lol

I just try and show folks what's possible.

Thanks for the kind words Steve, gotta share with The Virginia Bushcrafter

Thanks you, glad to have you here

Every little thing you can have, already done, will be a blessing if you ever have to set it up for real. Thanks for stopping by for sure.

They are handy..Gary gave me one at the meet-up last year....

I like about any shelter that involves my poncho lol. Have you ever heard of " Far North Bushcraft and Survival " ? From a guy name Lonnie and his wife Connie. When I first started watching outdoor type videos, He had one of the best channels on YT.

Thank you much

@@Plain-Ole-Chuck I don't know about the star part? But thank you for the kind works. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

@@RAYANDERS-w4t Your welcome.

I hear you on that woobie! lol

I had my Wife sew across the bottom and up the side, about a foot. I can use that rascal as a sleeping bag or a top quilt now. I recently bought an air mattress that is 7" thick! I'll make a video on that sometime soon. Oh it's nice, a little heavy, but nice. Thanks Sue.

@HarshmanHills Happy Thanksgiving my friend

@stevemick6569 Thank you for the kind words. Have a great Thanksgiving, Semper Fi, Marine. God bless.

@josephmorgan3715 lol! That's right! If you can't take a nap, what good is it? Thanks Joe, happy Thanksgiving.

BTW Nice tip in heating the pan to sterilize Been doing it for years.

@Plain-Ole-Chuck I had a lot going on there, a nap was definitely part of the game plan! Lol

@Plain-Ole-Chuck Thanks Chuck.

@@Plain-Ole-Chuck Happy Thanksgiving!

@@peetsnort Nor a bad idea, thanks

This thing has been tried in the rain, on multiple occasions, placement is everything though. And yes sir, it is getting tougher by the year, the getting up part. I will probably give it all up in a few years. Until then, gotta keep showing folks all of the options. Have a great Thanksgiving.

@@GrandFatherOutdoors We get crazy rain and storms in Kentucky, not sure where you are. I'm going to keep going as long as I can, it will be a sad day when I have to give it up. Meanwhile, good for you for getting out there and have yourself a great Thanksgiving and Christmas!

@@asmith7876 On the other side of the mountains, more or less, in North Carolina. Yeah, we get some crazy weather here too, but I'm not smart enough to stay inside.🤣

@@GrandFatherOutdoors Got relatives in Asheville, love the area! I camp in all weather, all year so yeah, crazy too.

Welcome Great Grandfather George! Thanks you for the kind words, and I pray the young folks will wake up and hear what you have to pass on. 73, God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving young man!

@theholisticmachine1493 Glad I could make you laugh. Have a great and blessed day!

I re-watched that part, does look kind of odd putting all that meat into such a small wrapper lol! But I got it done!

Turn up the audio at that time

@theholisticmachine1493 That's not a fart! That's the air pillow groning under my weight. Does sound a little like one though. I heard it when I was editing, that's how I know what it was.

@GrandFatherOutdoors haha....good stuff man..... I appreciate your videos...👍

Hey Ken, good to see you youngman.

@stevemick6569 Thanks Steve.

I forgot the name of it, I think James has one too. It's refillable, slightly heavier than the other type of canisters, but smaller, and will last a pretty good while. It also has a place for a camera stand on the bottom ( for use with the lantern ), which I utilized with the chopping board. Camping Moon BKTC-28, It and the refill adapter was around $50 on Amazon

Me too never seen one like that

@@irmuggle Camping Moon BKTC-28 on Amazon, with an adapter to fill and refill it, for around $50. They ain't cheap, but I'm glad I spent the money.

Is this the same thing you bought? We have Chuck wanting one now! lol

@ I don’t have one like that but I might have to pick one up

@@HarshmanHills OK, I really like mine.

@garyantley Food for thought ! No more taxes though! Lol

@garyantley That right there is what this channel is about. Take an idea, and fabricate new ideas of your own, pass that idea along too. Thanks for stopping by.

@stevemick6569 Well Steve, I had a lot of fun, just messin around. Thanks for the visit my friend.

@@stevemick6569 Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Cool right? It's not as complicated as it looks, once you get the bugs worked out.

@HarshmanHills cool right?

lol, Two hours of taking video, 10hrs of, on and off editing! Now we know. It was fun too try anyway.

I don't think I would do this for just an over nighter, but if I am going to be there a couple of days? Something like this would work.

Wasn't sure it would work, I thought it would. If you plan to stay in that area for a while, this would make a good base camp.

Did you have the silver side up, or down? If the silver side is too close to the skin, it will sweat really bad.

@ it doesn’t have a silver side just a smooth side and a pebbled side, it’s one of those cheap 6 dollar will use to be about 6 bucks 😂. In cold weather a air mattress really works wonders in a hammock. What I’m doing now is working but you know we are always looking for the perfect setup

lol, yup, more room for other things

Thanks Steve

The day I this video this, oh yeah, I took a nap lol

5lbs is still pretty light for shelter. I'd be ok with it.

Add a larger , say 10x10 over it, like a canopy, and you get the best of both worlds. A lot of my smaller shelters, stem from my get home bag ideas. I'll soon be 65, and my body reminds me daily, that it's not what it use to be. So I need protection from the elements, but as light as I can get it. It's not home, but it will help me get there.

I think of folks like you and I, when I do some of these things. We both know it won't be as comfortable as home, but life is unpredictable, and something like this is way better than standing or crouching, waiting for the sun to come up and warm things up.

Take care Chuck, I got a video to make for you. If I can make it work, you're going to like the one I'm working on now.

@@GrandFatherOutdoors I am 65 and carrying unnecessary weight is a no no. I’d probably carry a 10x10 for better coverage in rain though and with my back being a pale shadow of what it once was a little more padding. Great set up though.

Howdy Bill, behind the seat, in a roll, or in a day pack. Great place for a portable nap spot too! lol Set it up kick back, and check those eye lids for holes. Even on a rainy day!

@@stevemick6569 Thanks Steve, it's great for any kind of weather too. I used it in one of my other videos, Real World Cold Weather Test, or something like that, check that one out if you haven't already seen it. They hold in heat pretty good.

@@MrOldclunker lmao!🤣

I have one in mind, just for you Chuck, I haven't made it yet, but you'll know it when you see it.

Thank you, I'll run out of ideas eventually lol

Hey Steve! I saw you on Blackie Thomas' video of the Georgia Bushcraft thing.

@GrandFatherOutdoors Oh, yes. If you can, join us at the next one. Stay Safe

@AnupAdventures Thank, I appreciate it.

Hard to beat, aren't they? I have four, one that was issued to me in the Army, One that I bought for my Wife, and two surplus ones for making videos. I went a little overboard lol

@@HarshmanHills Thank you James

Semper Fi my friend.
