Flame Resistant Heated Tarp Shelter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2019
- I have had plenty of heated tarp shelters in the past. Most out of some kind of nylon that can be flammable. The one in this video is 100% flame proof canvas with a carbon fiber blanket for a chimney.
I love you, reallybigmonkey...like a brother. Hahaha. When you said, "I sound excited & I look excited, don't I?" You are the real deal with an amazing, analytical, make it work, kind of guy...gotta love it. It is a joy to watch you figure out solutions to issues that happen. PURE JOY!!! Thanks 4 all the effort!!!
Thank you Lorene!
Reallybigmonkey1 Hi! Your videos always cheer me up. Learn a lot to😁 Thank you for the great times we spend together via your videos. Have a wonderful day. 😊
I agree. Dave is brilliant.
The other thing that is unique about your video’s, Dave is that you have a way of making it seem as if you are talking to only me (or the particular viewer). That makes your presentations tremendously personal and hugely effective. Again, thanks for these bushcraft lessons, mate.
I'm glad you like the way I do things Ric! I just cutq on the camera and be myself
Nothing makes you look bad. We giggle with you. Love your episodes. Thanks for all you do
Thank you Dawn! I'm glad you liked it and how I do things. Thanks for watching
You should write a book about all of your configurations and knowledge. I think it would be one massive brick of pure greatness and legend. Love from Finland.
I love how you are just you, no matter what happens. You make me laugh because you laugh at yourself, and you are a very inventive man, just some great ideas. And really nice to hear a woodpecker, I’ve never herd one before, we don’t have them.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos and how I do things. No acting here's ever, I'm just me on camera and I think that makes for a more relaxed video. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
Easiest 50 min video to watch. Always an enjoyable experience. 👍👏
Great to hear that!
Your video was just what I needed this holiday , I just lost my mother this year to cancer and this is the first holiday without her.
I'm a longtime subscriber to your channel over the years, and I always look forward to your videos. I hope you and your family had a great
Thanksgiving, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and great adventures with everyone..
Sorry about your Mom. We have had cancer in our family too. Dave helps me stay positive like you. Just know you are not alone. You are part of the Really Big Monkey family.
Condolences...mothers hold the world together. 💜
I'm sorry to hear that. I know how bad it can be. I lost my mother in law last year and my step mom the year before. They were both the patriarch of the holidays. I am happy to hear the videos helped lift your spirits. Thanks for watching and Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I'm sure they were both matriarchs, not the patriarchs. Our family fell apart for about six years after our mom of 8 children passed in 2012. It's a loss uniting humanity--the passing of loved ones. I'm encouraged by your videos too since I live alone. BTW: PApa=PAtriarch, MAma=MAtriarch
" Now the real beauty of this "...is for stealth camping no one will see your fire, and difficult to see smoke at night, but can still smell it and not know for sure where it's coming from. Great vid and always lots of good ideas, have picked up a lot of tricks since I've been watching your Channel, Thanks!
Thanks and that's great to hear!
Hi! I'm your favorite Cali Old Lady Wisdom (73) I do the two finger salute now with your son, just got a large military wool blanket to go with my other one. Bought 3-inch safety pins to pin them together for a food bed area etc. Am low income, played fiddle in a country band when I was young, thin and good-looking like you. Loved loving in Texas 7 years. Born in Chicago with a country heart! THANK YOU--I WAS GOOGLING FOR A LONG TOME TO FIND HOW TO MAKE AN OILSKIN FIRE-FREE TARP. Yours is better!
Hello and great hearing from you! I'm not really young thin or good looking but I have fun on the woods. Lol. Those military blankets work great. Very durable. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
You know Dave, that when I see you made another video it takes a bit of a preparation for me to get to watch it. For I was feeling a bit tired for a few years now, so when I see a new video, I take a few days (weeks) to gather enough concentration to watch all at once and pick up all the lessons, and a plenty of lessons you give us. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher, so generous with sharing experience as a real friend is.
I'm glad you like the videos that much!
What can I say in my defense other than I do. 😁
Very nice setup David. Thanks for the video and your ideas. Take care!
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Mission accomplished. Those cold nights just got a lot nicer, which just makes it more fun. Great job.
Thank you my friend!
Another masterpiece from the bushcraft master! Thanks for this video Dave. This setup gives way more protection from wind and rain than the average tarp & log reflector method. This allows you to keep your fuel under cover and protected as well. The small fire doesn’t require a ton of fuel for the same heating effect. Easy to keep the fire stoked during night too. My wife has brain cancer and had stroke in July so I’m doing my adventuring thru you. When not at work I take care of her so hiking is not an option right now. Thank you and all the other great bushcraft channels for letting me venture out with you. It is a réal blessing to me. On the edge of my seat waiting on the next video!
I'm happy you liked it Steve! Sorry to hear about your wife. I know that's a huge task to keep up with daily. My aunt had brain cancer too. Take care and enjoy UA-cam as often as you can my friend
Humble and funny. Thank you for letting us come along with you as you try things for the first time or improve on something you are developing, Dave!
Who else does this? I don't know but we are so glad to have such a good-natured man to bring us along and allow us to see how things work and don't work. lol.
As you improve and develop equipment, ( like your bike trailer,) it helps us to understand and troubleshoot along with you and develop critical thinking skills in tight situations with a smile and a chuckle. A good attitude in a man, who doesn't take himself too seriously, is one of the most important survival skills anyone could build and possess, especially when times could be tense like a bugout situation.
I am from London, Ontario, Canada, but I feel like we're neighbors.
PS. I have to admit that I sometimes just watch you because I need to be around good people and you cheer and brighten my day. We live in a dark world, some more than others, and it is good to know that there is a good neighbor and friend to call on when you need a taste of what the world could and should be.
Phil.
Thanks Phil! These projects do grow as a group thing because I get so many ideas from commenters. It's a dark world but I try to stay as positive as possible. Take care and thanks for watching!
your effort in putting these together is greatly appreciated
Hi, Dave.
My all-time favorite fireplace video is from many years ago. You built a tent and then made a fireplace using ceramic cloth.
Big hugs.
Hello Linda! Ah yes, the classic El Cheapo fireplace. Nothing beats it. Take care and thanks for watching
I admire your positive outlook on life, thanks Dave
Thanks! Thats the only way to be happy in my book
It is always a pleasure for me to see you in the wood. Entertainment and recreation at the same time. Thank you, Dave!
It's always great to be out in the woods! Thanks for watching Fritz!
I really like the way you are straight up honest and do not hide anything bad that happens. The falling bike only means you should have put it against a tree not a big deal to any of us. I would love to see you do a over night stay with Mike along some time when he has time. Cheers.
Something went wrong a long time ago. You did not give up, retreated, regrouped and were successful this time.That is how it is done! Kudos man, you made it! That is an excellent example of how to progress in technique and character! Thank you very much for this video, Dave!
When creating or inventing, ya just gotta keep going! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Looks like your system worked really well,Brother Dave.Thank You for the pure entertainment of your videos.God Bless You. Randy
Thanks Randy, I'm glad you liked it. I'd say this is the most successful first run Ive ever had! Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
These are the good ole days. Fun times.!
I like how you are inspired by "things hanging around". You're a genius!
I, too, thought you need a reflective liner in the tarp hanging over the chimney.
Lol, thats how most of what I build starts out as! Thanks for watching Judy
I may add that
You're the only survivalist I've seen who was smart enough to put a coverning over a fire. I always wondered why on earth people would go to the trouble to make a fire and then let the rain put it out. You prove over and over again that you're the smartest one.
Thank you Cassandra! Yep, it's always best to cover a fire whenever you can
All I can say Dave is ,
Dave’s bed and breakfast !
I would stay in it until my wife made me go back home. Thanks for the video Dave , loved it !
Thank you Johnny!
I've been watching you from the beginning, laughed with you and winced a couple times. I truly hope the new changes to UA-cam coming early December doesn't get you shut down. I think if it does I'll simply uninstall UA-cam. Thanks for all the content Dave...
Thank you my friend. I just hope the auto bots dont hone in on me and claim Im doing something wrong. Thanks for watching
First time I heard of this auto bots. Anyway I look forward to Snake Is. video and hope you still make the tree house. Be careful around those snakes. Remember when you stepped in something kinda like quick sand at snake Is? Keep some thing on you at all times when walking around out there that you can self rescue with. I know I'm a worrier!!
@@still-jlynn Yep, like a long line with a grappling hook on the end maybe. Please stay safe..
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Hills.. ..Hills.. ..put it on a hill... He is trying to get children to use Hills. BANNED.
If you do get banned move on over to Brighteon.com I use it a lot more now as it uncensored.
I love the heated shelter videos. Any way to use fire to be more comfortable in winter wins with me. Thanks Dave, nice one!
I'm glad you liked it. Oh yeah, nothing much beats fire in the winter! Thanks for watching
That was a great test of your new system! I like it a lot and would use it in a heart beat!
Thanks Lenne, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Having a heated tarp system will make sleeping so much better. I read where American Indians had a simple fix for ridding the teepee of smoke. They put the teepee up with the small opening at the top, but stopping 2-3 feet from the ground, and a "skirt" (about 4 feet high) inside the teepee two feet from the outer skin and parallel to the outer skin. Wind comes in from ground level under the outside skin, hits the "skirt" and the air is directed upward. The opening at the top creates a draft pulling the smoke out the top. Ingenious, simple and highly effective. They had a fire in the middle of the teepee. I don't know if this method would work with a smaller tarp setup, but for sleeping 6 or more people it is the only way to fly. I wish someone would recreate this setup. My health won't allow it, but I would if I could. Thanks for taking so much of your time making great videos for us. I appreciate it. Happy New Year!
Yep, the ole double wall teepee creates a perfect up draft. I hope you have a Happy New year too!
OMG! I haven't had a chance to watch videos in ages! I am SOOO glad to see you're still making vids. I have a grandson now that is a natural leader and is interested in what to do in emergencies, (We live in tornado alley). I have learned so much from all your videos. I'm sure he will, too. It's great to see you again. I'll have to go back and see what all I missed. Lov ya
Great hearing from you Cathy and I'm happy you like the videos so much. You've caught your grandson at a good young age to nurture his interests and develop them to the maximum potential! Take care and thanks for watching
You are so sweet. Thank you for responding. Yes my grandson (@ 11 yrs old) has plans to go to the Naval Academy. We both love your videos and make us think out of the box. Thanks so much for what you do.
Thank you Cathy!
You're a wild man! (This is why I have loved your videos over the years).
Lol, Thanks Doug!
Dave your awesome! Love your sense of humor and the fact that you always have a smile on your face!! You always lift my spirit... thanks bud.
Fantastic to hear that my friend!
you have never looked bad ... you have given good advice
Thank you so much David!
Never give up....never surrender....nice job Dave. 😃
Absolutely!
Innovative and entertaining as usual. You really do a great job of including me, the viewer, in a welcoming and personal way.
Great to hear that David!
I as giving you LOTS of viewing time, because I am replacing Christmas icicle light bulbs while watching. I keep rewinding and watching again. When you said “ I forgot I had a zoom” I THOUGHT you said “I forgot I had a Zima”! I was like YES, the 80’s are back! LOL. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Lol, I remember Zima!
That was a great time my friend !😊👍
Second time watching this video. Want to thank you for taking us with you when you, invent/make/build new camping systems. I realize it takes a lot of time and sometimes a lot of "takes" to get a video. Love your video's whether they have "bloopers" or not. Enjoy all those too. Keep safe and keep the video's coming. Still snow here in Nova Scotia.
Thanks for watching a second time! Years ago I would do retakes if I didn't like the way a scene looked but over the past several years I don't because I no longer care. Lol. Whatever happens makes it into the video. Take care and thanks for watching!
Hello Dave, it's good to see you back out in the woods, you should of brought your camera man Nick, he works for coffee an food, y'all have a wonderful weekend, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🔥☕️🦃👼🏻👼🏻
Thanks Scott, I'm glad you liked it. Nick almost always busy here lately. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
It looked like someone was there with you because it looked like a man-sized shadow was to the front of you when you were showing all the different tent-stuff. I saw the shadow moving.
@@mawmawvee I saw the same thing a few times. If that wasn't a person, it was a thing...
Man I really like the ingenuity and attitude you bring to each and every video
I love all of your videos, but by far my favorites are the "tests." I can't help but to giggle when your gears start turning 🤣 as always, great work. With love from Oklahoma 💓💞
I’m six minutes in and love these tests. I was all ready to make the chimney set that burned down. Can’t wait to see this thing in action. 😆 now 14 minutes in and reading the other posters. You have truly some long time followers.
I still remember that one time your shelter burned down, it's good to see that you found a way to make it work
That was one expensive lesson!
Thank you Dave . I dont want to even think about you not making any videos. Your videos are Awesome.
Wow, thanks John!
I just love that you have fun and do all the stuff you do so well :-). PLUS I always learn something I did not know before, and get loads of new ideas as well. Thank you again Dave Pearson, for this great channel and for sharing your great diversity of knowledge with us.
Great to hear that and thanks for watching!
Living in Canada, the warmer the shelter, the better! Love the bike. 😉🇨🇦
you are fun to watch when building new stuff. keep video's coming.
Thank you Curt!
That was a good test ...and the shelter did not catch on fire
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thats always a good ending. Lol
@@Reallybigmonkey1 always!
You have such an incentive mind. I love seeing what you have come up with next.
Thank you Becky! I love camping but I actually love creating gear just as much. Thanks for watching my friend
Ah, the continuing story of a bushcraft bike made by Dave. :o)
This is fun to see it in use. Thanks for the video, Dave. This is cool.
Both my bikes are a work in progress, always evolving. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching Linda
You haven't changed a bit after all these years..love it!! My boys have grown up watching you and trying your designs and equipment. Thanks for sticking with it!
The only thing that's aging is my eyesight! Lol. Great to hear y'all have used some of my set ups. Take care and thanks for watching
Always entertaining and informative. Thanks for all your hard work- I have learned a lot from you.
Great to hear that Daniel and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
From basement to backyard to bushcrafting, Dave's "The Man!!!". I thoroughly enjoy watching his videos. He doesn't "cut out" the mistakes, he leaves them in as a "don't do it like this" experience for all to see that he's just like everyone else.
If this offends anyone, well I'm sorry for ya, it's just my opinion,; I'd rather have Dave as my instructor in bushcraft do's & don'ts than Bear Grylls anyday!!!
Thank you Thomas! I show it like it happens brother
Great experiment, Dave! Been stuck inside due to a neurological illness. Hoping to be able to get out and enjoy nature again. Love ya, brother. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!
We are heading out for some 27 degree camping on Monday. Thanks to Dave's tips, tricks and strategies, we expect to be comfortable tent camping at 8600' with lows in the 20's. It all starts with bringing an excellent fire blanket and work it from there!
Sounds great! Good luck and stay warm
You make me smile with your quirky, care free responses to random things that happen. I affectionately refer to you as, "My boy, Dave." As a 54 year old mom of 3 boys, grandma of 3, needless to say, my boys have had to get used to me saying, "My boy, Dave." They now get it and only shake their heads :) Your videos are awesome, Dave! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us. I hope you were able to get to Snake Island for January and February!
Thank you Shannon! Great to hear you like what all I do and how I do it. I did not get to Snake Island because right after they finished our new boat ramp it started in with a whole month of constant flooding. The river has been up so high that no one has put a boat in this winter. Take care and thanks for watching!
Solid proof of concept and field test. Thanks as always for the video.
Thanks C.M., I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
You looked to be having so much fun :-) Thanks for taking the time to share.Best wishes from Scotland
Oh I had a great time! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Great seeing you again !!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for all your wonderful videos!
Thanks Mark and a Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
That shelter look s very comfy . Glad to see you out in the woods again my friend . I always look forward to your videos they're very informative. Keep up the great work . 👍
Awesome shelter, Dave! You are truly creative!
Thanks!
Very cool shelter. Thanks for explaining the chimney situation. I must say I wish I had half the energy you got. LOL!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
I've always thought one of your most clever inventions was to put the loops on the tarps so you can slide poles into the loops and carry things. I also loved your little L rods that you made which you use to hold up other rods for a grill or to close a tent. You a very smart man! Thanks!
Thanks Cassandra! I'm happy you like my ideas!
great video as always Dave. thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Matt, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
My brother, it's been awhile since I've checked in, and of course you are still amazing, I've exhausted myself in the political arena and needed some relief, so where else would I go ? I know you are all about fun with bushcraft and its part of your charm. For most of your viewers/fans ++ I suspect it is why they tune in and disappear for a moment,ignoring that God awful screech of the city , giving peace in a lifetime of war. Your ingenuity and creative juices flowing like a river and that twang your voice carries, could tame the average beast. You know, I once saw Elvis Presley do an interview one time and they kept asking him many political questions and he replied, " sir Im just an entertainer, I cannot form an opinion on this for public content." I'm not that good of a man and so every once in a while I cross a line that I shouldn't. I hope you forgive me, and continue what you do for us all. I love you my brother, and I so appreciate not only your dedication, but that of your families to allow us to borrow you from time to time, that goes way beyond bushcraft.
Brother Joe what you said about Elvis fits perfect. People come here to hear about bushcraft, camping and outdoors. This is where folks can come chill out. Too much drama, politics, drama and controversy in the world now. Sometimes ya just gotta chill. Take care brother Joe
Yay! Good job! Excellent out come.
Thank you Dianna!
Great episode!!! Ingenious, as always!!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it that much! Thanks for watching
I was thinking the same thing David.
An A frame tent with a cone made from a welding blanket on the end.
Or some kind of fireplace, made with carbon fiber rods & cloth..
Keep On Keepin On David, Love your ideas. Don`t stop dreaming.
Thank You for sharing your video and your shelter idea with us. ATB
Thanks for the education and the Fun in the Woods experience! I can tell you really enjoy what you do...dream and turn your vision into reality! Hope you and yours had a great Thanksgiving!
Excellent to see you out using your bicycle haul rig. Good video
Always amazed by Your ingenuity 👍
Thanks Scot!
Bravo for taking seriously safety all safety precautions. Thumbs up for persistence. Keep great job!
Thanks Tomasz!
Hi, Nick. It's good to see you (your shadow). Hugs!
Hello Linda!
Very very cool Dave, thank you. Your Dakota Pit Tent is my all time number 1 but this one is right behind. We'll have to see after you rework the door. Great job as normal.
awesome shelter Dave, cannot wait to see the next vid you make with it. Thanks for the vids and have a great day!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Brother
Looks like a good functional hot tent.Very nice.Thanks and take care.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I vote we call it the PyroShelter... LOL Good you put it to the test before you were dependent on it ! Love the concept ! Can't wait for the tweeks... Thanks for sharing bro... Peace.
Awsome video! Thanks Mr. Dave!
Another super shelter Dave, I bet it comes good in the cold weather. Though it did bring back sad memories of the Dakota pit tent. Thanks again Dave, take care buddy 👍🙂
Love the way you came riding in on that bike. 🤣🤣 that shelter looks like it will be so warm in the winter. Great video Dave cheers. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you Michelle! The bike was the easiest way off toting this thing into the woods! Lol, thanks for watching
bloody great video Dave.
Its crazy...I never know what your doing till the end. You have great ideas
Lol, always a suprise! Thanks for watching David
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I also have a son named Nick in his 20's
That is an interesting concept. I'm sure we would all like to see the version after you have tweeked it some. As always you have a great knack for improvising.
Cool! I'll be watching this later with my family. 👍
Sounds great Ian!
Dave you did it again great idea man you do a lot of work That will be good for Snake Island Want to see the finished shelter Your ideas are always evolving Hope new you tube stuff won't mess with your channel WE all realy love you an what you do Wish i lived closer to you i would come an help you film Iam retired but its hard to get me out of Arizona in the winter Keep up the good stuff Thanks for sharing Always your FRIEND
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I think it will be awesome for Snake island! Hopefully if I follow the guidelines UA-cam sets out I'll avoid their auto bots picking up on anything they think is out of place. Thanks for watching
Great concept.
Thank you Brother Lonnie!
Once again another great video. Thank you. 🔥🚲
Thanks Claudine! I'm happy you liked it
Another good one Dave many thanks from the UK.
Thanks Keith, I'm happy you liked it!
Thanks Dave! Always learn something new from ya!!
Really cool..im learning..storing all sorts of great info in my head by watching your vids
Fantastic to hear that Melanie!
I really enjoy the shelter videos thank you for sharing this.
Thanks! I'm happy you liked it
Great job Dave, a lot of improvement from when you first started using that carbon fiber blanket. now time for you and nick to go camping.....
Outstanding Dave 👍👍
Thanks Dean!
Hope you had a happy thanksgiving brother, great vid!
You’re the man Dave. A lot of time must have went into fabricating that chimney ring before it hung on the wall. Of course you found an alternate use for it. You must get requests from people to make them stuff constantly. Thanks as always sir. I’m a machinist too but you take it to a whole different level with all the perfect welds and even sewing. You make the rest of us look bad lol.
Thanks Derek! Yep, all this stuff takes time to make. To bad I couldn't remember what that ring was made for. Lol. I get a few requests for gear but not often. Thanks for watching brother
Yes sir, thank you.
Great video my brother!The idea of a carbon blanket chimney is really great!!!
Stay safe and have fun!
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it
Dave you are Amazing Buddy enjoy everyone of your Videos Too.
Thank you Ron!
The rescue plane! Nice tent! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I am looking forward to seeing the refinements you make to this setup!
Theres plenty to do here James! Thanks for watching
Excellent as always sir! Love it ! Stay safe and warm brother!!!! Happy thanks giving too ! Best wishes to you and your family sir! 👍🏽👍🏽😎🙏🏼🇺🇸👌🏽
Thanks, I'm glad you and I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving too!
👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽😎
