Another great video! Good to see new products coming out. If the bed is low enough, a large pile of leaves can be piled underneith as well. Saw a guy do that once when he forgot his underquilt hammock camping.
I recently ordered a small kneeling pad from Bushcraft Spain and the quality was excellent. It was the oil cloth on one side and wool blanket on the other. Can't wait to get the bigger version.
Thanks Dave, great video. If I use my trash bags I'd cut just big enough holes for the poles, in the corners, then I can tie them off again to use as bags as needed.. re-use, save gear
Cowabunga DC.! It's simply quick & less effort. Will definitely imitate this system into our outback classes. A step ahead of others. Thank you for sharing mate. Greetings from Australia.
I can see that you are an excellent teacher. Some of this I have seen before but not of filling the bags after they are up and the space blanket as a condition use in this set up is a masterpiece idea. I am a camper of some good many years but never saw this side of it. Thank you very much for opening my mind.
I have a lot of respect for you. And I have good memories with your adventures .. I hope you are alive for many years and we will experience many memories with you .. I love you ..... Hossein from Iran
Hey Dave, I'm really happy to see your new collaboration with Bushcraft Spain. I have their 3x3 oilskin tarp and the tarp/blanket and this is excellent quality gear!
Given a raised platform bed with a canvas sleeve and no dry browse available, presuming the ground is bare or too wet to burn, I suppose one could also heat up rocks in the fire and place them underneath the bed--ideally not glowing hot, and with at least a foot of space between the tops of the rocks and the bottom of the bag once your weight is on it. (Just be careful getting into bed so the poles aren't dislodged.)
Dave. Take what you just did here, and look at Lars S.R. site, Siberian Woodsman Chair. Combine both. You have a chair and a bed /camp quickly for hunting. Its Genius. The tarp is your pack. No tools, no weight, more room for hunting equipment. Perfect.
Look forward to the canvas sleeve! That looks like such a useful multipurpose item that can make a variety of sleeping situations! Definitely will be practicing with the trash bags in the meantime.
Hello Dave! I don't think you know, but you have a lot of fans here in Brazil! including me. Congratulations for your channel and video content! I'm starting at Buschcraft, and I have Humberto Costa as a mentor. I watch your videos and I really like them, and with the clarity with which you explain the topics! Thank you!
That is brilliant and simple! I love that you didn’t use any cordage! These techniques can be used to build so many things. My imagination is running with it.
Great info Sarge. The friction style of a bed frame is ingenious. I’m a big guy and I have tried the bed sleeves and can’t get one to last more than 1 or 2 nights.
Greeting David! I've done a similar thing with a raised bed. I didn't use 2 trees, I just made two tripods and I use foot long heavy duty zip ties for the construction. Like the plastic stakes, they double as fuel. And instead of 2, 6mil trash bags, I use a tarp. The tarp will be folded over so you have a double thick " mattress" and can also be filled with debris for insulation. The length of the tarp is the key. If the bed is 2 ft off the ground, 3 ft wide, one fold is 7 ft but you need 2 folds so 14 ft. So 14 ft is one dimension, the other dimension depends on how tall you are. 7 ft is usually suitable. This ensures that no wind will pass under the bed because the tarp ( doubled ) will go from ground to ground. By doubling the tarp you create a fold on one side which I take an 8 inch diameter or so log by 7or 8 ft long and slide it in the fold. This keeps the tarp taught using weight. On the side that has the two ends of the tarp, I connect the grommets together creating another fold which I use a second log of sufficient weight and length. Now all tarps dont have grommets that align correctly from end to end but some do, so that should be checked out ahead of time. But in lieu of attaching the grommets together, they, the 2 ends, can be staked down, whatever works to keep the sleeping portion of the tarp taught. Essentially it just means bringing an extra tarp to use as your mattress. By using 2 tripods, you can adjust the length on the bed and if you choose to use a tarp overhead, you can use a wood pole or cordage. Zip ties are convienient, cheap, light weight, strong and burn! But they're not reusable obviously. This also creates a pocket under the bed to fill with debris for insulation or gear in the event of rain. I prefer a 3 ft width for a bed and regardless of how taught you make it, it will sag just enough to be a bit more comfortable. Its actually easier done than said! But I like your set up in this video and will keep it in mind for a future sleep out in the great outdoors. Regards, Chuck I probably should add, to really cinch up a tight zip tie ( cable tie ) I use a multitool with pliers 👍
thank you loved the idea of being able to make the trash bag raised bed for when i get to my camp and find that the only cordage i have is the small amount i carry in my pocket kit
You can tell you have watched to many gardening vids when you said raised bed and all I could think of was why you were talking about a garden bed lol.
That is a brilliant technique, and superbly simplistic, all while being super functional. On my way to look into purchasing these products off your site. Thanks Dave
Thanks for the great info David! I love the raised bed idea, that is so awesome! Never did I think of that, and again thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge with us all, You Rock Brother!
I miss the words multifunctionality, durability and reliability. Dave's favorites in the past. Why leaving that path? I've gone all the way from lightweight, ultra lightweight, bushcraft and survival. When it comes to reliability, the materials of the past are unbeatable. I started with Canvas and wool, i'll end with it now.. I've been carrying the small tarp from bushcraft Spain for the last year now. A must-have for an overnighter or multi-day trip. The old Nesmuk design with custom size for the slightly larger man of this century. In addition, I wear the multifunctional Plash Palatka poncho with a thin wool blanket as a bedroll every (day) trip. Very similar in Dave's application shown. These 3 big items are the most important with my home made haversac when I go into the woods on a short or longer adventure. Back to the basics feels good. More weight? Perhaps. But dump the conventional backpack and you will save 3-5 kg in weight. As we all know, the tarp or Palatka can also take over this task with some rope (ridgeline!) or a strap. Multifunctional, skills and imagination. Gadgets are never a good substitute for the comfort you have at home. If you live outdoors then live outdoors, not like at home. Less is more. The more experience you gain, the more you enjoy being outdoors.
I remember when you did this from a canvas bag, tried it a couple of times and slept great. It must have been, I dont know, a long time ago. Time flies.
Great instructional video!! Thanks for the information! As far as the Bushcraft Spain vs Tentsmiths Tarps I have both and they are both of excellent quality in my opinion.
Excellent video, Dave. I have learned so much about bushcraft from your books and UA-cam videos. Thank you. I have always thought a browse or tick matress as the best option for bedding. It requires a lot of work to stuff the matress, but I believe it is much more reliable than the blow up sleeping pads. I just don't think they are very rugged and durable especially for long term survival. Anything to get you up and off the ground to keep from sucking the heat out of you will work. Then you can consider how to insulate below. Using 2 large trash bags or a matress designed specifically for that is great. It would be lighter, take up less space in a pack, possibly be more effective, and cost less than store bought sleeping pads.
Dave, after watching this and your last video...first of all....great to see you doing more bushcraft/survival videos. Second, I see where Shawn gets some of his inspiration from (besides you being the President/relative) lol! You guys are great! But your gear is what inspires me. Growing up in cub/boy scouts... I think I may have finally found my calling... long story but just wanted to say thanks...and some advice...always remember where you came from... not everyone is successful and rich... remember way back when you first started making videos...? Not everyone has been on tv.. and had a great start to life. You definitely put in the work... but others also have and were dealt a shitty hand in life. Now partially disabled but very knowledgeable and in seek of guidance... a little bit of help.
@@DavidCanterbury I just reread my comment, no disrespect meant at all, quite the opposite! In short, you inspire me to keep going no matter the hand I may have been dealt in birth and medical issues. You are an inspiration, please keep doing all that you do! Thanks again.
Pathfinder, once again KILLING it with the ideas, the merch, the unique take on things. Love the gear, but I won't lie...I bet it's too heavy for my old fat ass to carry! One of the holdovers from military life is the expectation that your gear is bomber...those dyneema tarps are awesome but I'd shred one I'm sure. Thanks, you and Shawn are great!
Good to know ! The new tarp , new blanket with the tarp backing , limber willow or elm limbs ,easy to make a bed on the ground , I always liked a thick leaf bed or , cedar or pine tip limbs for cushion. I've awakened with a new snow on top of me . Shake my tarp off roll up , put my carrying ropes on it and keep going . Wish I'd known how to build this off the ground, back as a kid .
I’ve utilized the Ranger roll for almost 20yrs at this point BUT that bushcraft Spain blanket looks like an upgrade. I’ll hold out for further reviews of it
I have the Bushcraft Spain oilskin wool cloth and the quality is top notch. Recommended for sure. It is however a bit on the bulky and heavy side, but it will last forever.
Ha! That's awesome! I've been waiting on my Wool Blanket & Tarp from Bushcraft Spain for about a month now... Now I know why! He's swimming with the BIG FISH ;)
Dave awesome video awesome show right on point awesome training video you are mentioning in this video about a blanket on one side and a plastic polymer on the other with the corners with grommets in it. you were going to have up for sale soon that you were making. very interested in two of them where can I get them thank you once again God bless
Glad to hear you are going with 10' x 10' for the tarp. Can you do a video demonstrating the grommet and loop locations? Question: I see a large safety pin in your hat. It could be a handy tool. Can you describe what uses one might have for it? Does it secure anything inside the hat?
Kick-Ass Dave! I always keep a fabric sleeve with me with that being said I'm in southern AZ and forked timber is not always available I'm going to try using yucca stalk and split the ends. But of course, this Jarhead always has cordage in his boots come to think of it the apache did too. Great teaching brother keep up the great work hope things are well.
One can also lash the horizontal poles (One end if forked on the other end), then lay short poles split lengthwise to achieve a bed. So six total forked poles, & some cordage.

I really like this informational, training style content. We need more of this. Thanks for being here for it, Dave.
I’ve been using the same bushcraft Spain tarp all winter. And it has held up remarkably well! Great setup!
Another great video! Good to see new products coming out. If the bed is low enough, a large pile of leaves can be piled underneith as well. Saw a guy do that once when he forgot his underquilt hammock camping.

This video felt like a trip back in time to the older videos. I love it, and I'm definitely gonna have to try that bed
Thank you Mr Canterbury love this video very informative. Between you and Corporal I learn so much. Keep them coming

My arthritis loves raised beds. Nice setup, thanks for the video. Can't wait to see how much those 10x10 tarps are going to be.
your vids either make me sleepy or hungry, looks like a realy cozy setup
Excellent as usual David. ATB from Scotland.
Thanks for all the ideas. I may have to try the trash bag version while I wait for the sleeves to show back up in your store.
thank you loved the idea of being able to make the trash bag raised bed for when i get to my camp and find that the only cordage i have is the small amount i carry in my pocket kit
You can tell you have watched to many gardening vids when you said raised bed and all I could think of was why you were talking about a garden bed lol.

Hello from Québec Canada. Thank for the informations. Very instructive video.
Excellent idea excellent excellent! Yet another tool for the survival kit. Thanks for the video, have a great day stay safe and keep your powder dry!
i will try these very soon. Tnx you Dave for sharing so many things.
Great video. Your always teaching great techniques and I am always learning from your teachings. Mike
You are very Educational love watching your videos
Another great bushcraft skill by the master.
That looks more comfortable than sleeping in a tent. I want that tarp!
Excellent training video. Always a learning experience.
Thank you for the instructions on how do a raised bed I would be interested in learning more in the future
Thanks Dave for demonstrating this skill, is very helpful . Looking forward to doing my own.

Very good video Dave keep up the good work brother 🤠👍
Awesome video can’t wait to try a raised bed never entered my mind to do that thank you so much. Have a blessed day.
Woah! I like this very much. Simple and effective. Good presentation too!
Dave knows his stuff!!!
Thanks for the video dave, it was a good one. Have a blessed year.
Obrigado Dave por mais esse vídeo, aqui do Brasil! 👍👍👍👍
Definitely gonna try this when I go hiking after work Sunday
That was some good Information Dave Thanks enjoyed it
Thanks David for the new lesson.
Ha! That's awesome! I've been waiting on my Wool Blanket & Tarp from Bushcraft Spain for about a month now... Now I know why! He's swimming with the BIG FISH ;)
At 6: 11 I got it. Ingenious. Off the ground, padded, insulated, comfortable, warm. 👍
These are the videos I can dig , thanks .
that is absolutely bad ass. You gave me an idea. oh wait , they sell a similar bed that hangs in the tree.
Hey Dave, first off, I love the videos and am a huge fan. Second, would you be able to do some more Ham videos with the Baofeng?
Simple yet brilliant. Would of never thought of doing that

This is a great series Dave. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. What will be the prices on those Bushcraft Spain products?
Is that a tattoo of the otzu ice man on your neck? You have a great weekend dave and keep up the awesome work and keep pumping out these great videos
Amazing 🤩 stuff
Brilliant Dave. Thank you!
One can also lash the horizontal poles (One end if forked on the other end), then lay short poles split lengthwise to achieve a bed. So six total forked poles, & some cordage.
Great concept on a raised bed. The 10' square tarp is roomy enough.
Looks so much nicer then sleeping on the ground.
That's smart. Love this lesson..
Really nice job Man 👍
Awesome ingenuity!
Get up outta that bed Dave, your on guard duty...lol...🇺🇸😎
