I'm your average housewife in the UK watching this preparing just in case. Can we believe it. I like your videos calm not panicky. Please please do an essentials one for people in Europe last minute preparedness on budget
Yes, that's what I want to know also! Too many of us spent too long laughing at Doomsday Preppers (well, some of them are a little bit of a joke, tbh) and thinking nothing would ever happen. Now we're all scrambling to learn skills and supply ourselves on a strict budget...
Thanks for your interest and approach to encourage others to go into the woods
Love your instructions. Several channels use the same type rapid deploy Ridgeline, yeah I know that you guys work together and therefore is overlap in info given. That said u go into a bit more detail from "stake down opposite your tension" to other small details that really help explain it to beginners and us old dogs who have taken for granted some of the stuff we do out of habit i.e. " nobody outranks safety " ( from your try stick video) great stuff sir, thank u for your service and for sharing your expertise with all of us. God Bless and have a great one!
MInor quibble: I tend to prefer a butterfly know to a overhand slip for the fixed point of a trucker's hitch. Just easier to untie (though a bit less convenient to make in the 1st place).
Thanks for the rapid Ridgeline video! It works great, and I'm able to pass the knowledge to my son. I liked the rob zombie reference as well. Never would of thought u listened to him lol
this is so much simpler to implement than a lot of poncho/tarp shelters I've seen
Joshua , good video and tips , thanks for sharing ,God bless !
Excellent video Josh.
Awesome video brother been watching your videos lately your survival skills are off the wall. Love it that your a veteran just subscribed to your channel looking forward to seeing more .
Great channel, very well simply explained by giving a baseline i.e. " Hip height " , thank you for sharing your knowledge, God Bless You Good Sir
I missed the deadline on the 24 Hr Survival video , but I just ordered it today
My friends and I started our Club about 5yrs ago. Your videos really help People grow. Thanks
Great job brother I do enjoy watching these type of videos, it brings back some old memories. Semper Fi (old marine)
I have that style of tarp in my get home bag. Awesome video my friend. Got your video now to get your book.
Great video as always and thanks for keep them straight to the point with very useful information.
And a white zombie plug too 👍🏻
Awesome quick shelter ⛺️ show 👍👌👏🇺🇸
Thanks for explaining the conditions that for which each configuration is best suited. I would have been trying to use the lean-to in a monsoon. That tarp did not look that spacious in the plow point but I guess seeing it in a wide angle view made that difference. I recently ordered your book "Survive The Wild". Can't wait for it to arrive so I can absorb that knowledge.
Perfect instruction mate. My new favourite channel. I have learnt so much invaluable knowledge.
I just wish we were allowed to wild camp in Australia.
Aussie SAKman may have to become "Somewhere Else" SAKman.
We can wild camp in Australia. Any State Forest (at least in NSW) and Crown Land is free for camping and most SFs allow hunting. I believe you can wild camp anywhere in a National Park so long as the ranger doesn't catch you and if you apply your bushcraft skills, they won't.
Great instruction style. Thanks mate.
Great info great vid very easy to understand they way you explain and demonstrate thank you for your knowledge 👍
Thanks for your insightful videos!
G'day Josh, digg'n the series mate. Especially liked the extra loop on the truckers hitch in Pt. 1.
I expect you are gonna focus on quick release; but depending on weather/load, might be worth showing the directional figure 8 loop, water bowline, double fishermans and the like. If one doesn't wish to carry a pre-made marlinspike/fid, making one from a stick takes seconds. Cheers Duke.
i absolutely love your bushcraft knowledge. You Rock
Great vid, thank you!
Thanks Brother. Blessings!
Great Video Josh!!
Thank you for all the great input, Sir. I am learning a lot, for sure.
May I ask: wouldn't a ultralight hammock system be more useful in a bugout/emergency situation than a tarp?
Or maybe you could do a "Tarp vs Hammock" Shelter-Episode?
I know there are some videos about it, but I really would appreciate your take on it! Thanks again, Christian G.
Outstanding
Always great stuff!
Great video. Curious what does your EDC or pocket dump look like. Can't wait for the next video.
If you're curious, I timed the ridgeline setup at 1:38 sec.👍
And he wasn't rushing; took his time so we could see what was happening.
Thanks nature-bro Good tips
I’ve noticed he has a tendency to always grab his Ridgeline and try to shimmy it up or down a tree when the line is already taut. I’m not sure if it’s laziness or habitual at this point, but I thought it was an odd thing that I keep noticing.
Excellent demonstration.
Straight forward explanations.
Using the A frame.
Do you experience problems with rain drops running along the ridgeline and droppind inside the shelter?
If so, how is this prevented?
I have the same question. I’ve used short strands of cord to catch the rain and drip down from there but it’s not perfect
@@flexinriffs9926 in addition to the drip lines at each end, you can hang your tarp from the ridge line instead of the tarp over RL, as not to have it running through your shelter.
Thanks
Why such a small tarp? I’d never deliberately plan on using a tarp that small. 2’ bigger would make a huge difference.
Thanks, I really enjoy these videos, especially seeing as we live only 50km from the Russian border and might need the skills one day!
What I want to know is, what do you you do about bugs? Or do you just man-up and let them under your blanket at night? Perhaps I don't understand the Finnish environment well enough, but where I come from, in Australia, there's absolutely no way on earth I could sleep on the bare ground, or even a simple tarp at night - there's way too many snakes, spiders, ants, centipedes and scorpions for that.
Simon, I was in the Australian Army for the best part of a decade and I never worried about bugs. We used hootchies (tarps) and a groundsheet; just don;t unroll your sleeping bag till you climb in, check your boots if lucky enough to take them off and in the tropics we had mozzie nets. These days I use a Tier Gear hammock under an Alton tarp but the only place I don't like sleeping on open ground is in the desert. Living in Finland now? Well do as the Finns do. Whatever works for them, probably a lot of fir branches for a mattress and a bottle of vodka, hahaha Finns are tough buggers.
@@fatmanfaffing4116 Hey, thanks for that, Perry. It's funny, I never gave it any thought until once, when I was young, we went to Lake Eyre, camping. The tents we used had no built-in floor sheet and there were massive yellow-striped centipedes everywhere. Others found snakes under their ground sheets. Needless to say, it put me right off!
I like the idea of using a hammock though. I know it's not quite the ethos of this particular channel, but I think I might be interested in tree tents. They seem to be quite popular over here, seeing there's no lack of trees and there's "everyman's right" laws to allow people to walk/camp/forage/fish pretty much anywhere they like.
Yes, Finns are tough buggers! They always look like they're ready for a fight. Not surprising really, given their history.
@@simoncordingley3122 I've spent a lot of time in Finland since 1979, to include lots of training with Finnish Defence Forces, multi-day hikes near the border through various bunker-trench complexes, and a mix of summer and winter excursions.
What I like Suomessa is a mosquito net jacket with hood.
A big problem with mosquitos is they go right through your shirt, jacket top, and pants in specific areas.
I've seen far more mosquitos in Finland in the summer than I did in Panama during Jungle Operations Training Center out of Fort Sherman.
Nice but I don’t understand the tiny tarp stuff for a full size guy???
So what size tarp do you recommend for this? I don’t know how much it matters but I’m 6’2” and about 230 pounds. So not a small guy.
Is there a video related to the different knot and tying types you use in this video
Nevermind it was the first video recommended below after I refreshed
First!
I hate emergency blankets. Too small and too brightly colored. Molar lined poncho FTW or a tarp.
One side of my Arcturus tarp is green while the other is reflective.
I don’t like the green ones either. If it was 10x5 with a old green or tan or dull earth color they would be great.
Is this some weird FX? You look like a miniature in the back yard.
Haha! It's in the Florida woods😉
