    Yep, this arrangement will be like sleeping in a toaster oven!
    Brings back happy memories of a backpacking trip to Alaska in the 60's.
    Hitchhiking was very slow so I was on a Greyhound bus back from Alaska. I had hoped the bus would continue all night so I would have a warm place to sleep, but in the middle of the night it stopped at Snag in the Yukon and said we all had to check in to the lodge for the night. I couldn't afford that, so a real problem.... Snag was often claimed in those days to be the coldest place in America. This was late October and the mud was already frozen hard as concrete, as I stumbled across the highway looking for a place to camp. Found a spot where I could light a fire against a large log that would reflect heat into the tarp that I rigged up. Rigged a 'Space Blanket' over the log to even better reflect the heat. Made a deep bed of spruce boughs. Prepared the fire with enough long wood that I could feed in during the night without getting out of the sleeping bag. Crawled into my sleeping bag, which wasn't really a good one, and had a warm toasty night from all that reflected heat.
    Next morning went back to the lodge to rejoin the bus, well rested and satisfied with that camp. Found all the rest of the passengers blue with cold and huddled around one of those tall kerosene heaters. When the lodge had turned on their oil furnace for the first time that season it spewed smoke then shut itself down, so they had spent all night shivering around that pathetic heater. So I was the only one who had a comfortable night, and at no cost! A very satisfying feeling.....

      My experience, with this kind of shelter. (In a Canadian winter). Is within an hour of the fire cooling. If you're not in something warm. Your up, tending fire, again.

    • @BushcraftBuddy
      @BushcraftBuddy  3 роки тому +10

      Yes, this is the way it works. It is not intended to get some really good sleep. I could rest for 90 min and needed to feed the fire again. This is purely for survival to protect you from hypothermia or freezing if you have not enough insulation but a mylar blanket and means to make a fire.

    • @BushcraftBuddy
      @BushcraftBuddy  3 роки тому +21

      Thanks Tony, exactly. This is not a shelter to spend a nice evening, but it helps you survive if you have no sleeping bag and too little insulation to prevent your body heat from escaping. Glad you liked it and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻

    • @georgesouthwick7000

      I would agree. The problem with building most emergency shelters is you would freeze to death before you got the shelter built.

    • @BushcraftBuddy
      @BushcraftBuddy  3 роки тому +9

      Thanks for your view on that. Actually as long as you are moving and burning calories, you can remain warm in most environments (as long as you are not wet). However, you do not have enough calories usually in a survival situation, so it is better to burn wood if you have to stay longer/overnight.

    I did this when on summer camp with the boy scouts.
    I was asked by the skip to go on a 6 mile hike and find somewhere where I could sleep over in a makeshift shelter. I found a small cut out in a riverbank and slept in there on pine branches.
    I only had my sheath knife, flint and some flour and sugar.
    Many many years later I found myself homeless. These skills really came into their own!

      I know and I look at people like they're crazy when they say that. Camping is therapeutic and can show you who you really are in certain situations.

    I used to make these shelters when i was a kid. Mine were all natural . Snow was on ground at the time. This happened when i would miss the bus for middle school my mother woulf make me walk to school. All i would grab was a lighter or matches. Went to conservation trails and setup camp off path but near road so i could hear bus on way home route miles away from my house. Doing this seemed to come natural to me and was fun. The fire was small and i did put out with snow when i left. Probably learned more than what i would of in school those days.

Ich war 1991 franz .Kdo.Ausbildung und 1993 EK (geilster LG beim Bund) durch Umgliederung von 552 zu 292 warem wir mit 'ner AGA Qaut.I drei Wochen am Stück im Biwak. Erst alle gekotzt aber nach zwei drei Tagen solche Sachen wie Dackelgarage und 'Leben im Felde' mal auf den Prüfstand gestellt.
      Ergebnis, Schrägdach 2/3 schräg und 1/3 nach vorn übergezogen. Ausrüstung an die Füße und Waffe neben den Schlafsack, Mündung neben den Kopf. Alarm und Rundumsicherung aus dem so angelegten Platz. Kein rumwuseln im Dunkeln und Ordnung am Platz der Gruppe. Der Platz selbst sehr gedeckt, maximal geschützt und über eben drei Wochen benutzbar. Durch den flachen Aufbau bleibt die Wärme am Körper. Ich hab mir in meinen 14 Jahren nur vier zus. Ausrüstungsgegenstände gekauft. Unterwäsche von Brynje, Makrolonhandschuhe, einen Poncholiner von den Amis und eine Zeltplane von der NVA. Alle während dem Biwak und hab nie mehr gebraucht. Gerade die Zeltbahn war eines der letzten Modele, Licht und dicht.

      Hallo Sven. Vielen Dank für den Erfahrungsaustausch. Wirklich tolle Ausbildung die du absolviert hast. Die Variante mit 2/3 schrägdach und 1/3 flach klingt interessant. Welches Tarp habt ihr da verwendet? Vielleicht noch etwas zu Einordnung. Das Shelter ist eher dafür gedacht wenn man versprengt ist und kaum Ausrüstung (kein Kälteschutz, Schlafsack etc.) dabei hat in kaltem Wetter. Eher Survival als Leben im Feld.

    I'll be honest; I'm surprised the heat from the fire didn't melt the mylar or the poncho. I guess it's a matter of balancing the size of the fire and the heat bloom against the distance from the fabric, plus the extensive heat vent at the top.. I actually enjoyed the lack of dialog (appreciated the captions) and the music and nature sounds.

      @BushcraftBuddy  3 роки тому +4

      Thanks buddy, really appreciate your feedback! Yes, I was also surprised. In fact the flames can even touch the mylar without melting it.

      The advantage of the Dakota is it produces more focused, intense heat for cooking, taking less time, therefore less likelihood of being detected, but is more likely to cause root fires in peaty soil and is less effective for heating that traditional fires.
      Stones, heated in the fire, are worth consideration, placed under a layer of soil, then leaves, as the heat emanates from them for hours, although care has to be taken to avoid wet or damp stones, near bodies of water, as they are apt to explode, when the water vapourises.

    Difference in tools…I use a folding saw and a small hatchet. I have one of those chain saws. Never tried it. I will now.
    I kinda wondered and worried a bit about the fire near the mylar. He carried it off just fine.

    If you attached mylar to the inside of a tent ceiling with a 1 or 2 inch air gap between the tent and ceiling (stick pieces of velcro on the corners of the mylar and on the tent ceiling so it can be quickly attached) would the mylar help much to keep the tent warm by trapping & reflecting the rising inside warm air in the tent so it's not escaping.

    • @BushcraftBuddy
      @BushcraftBuddy  3 роки тому +3

      Hi Michael, I like your idea. I have never tried it. Mylar is great for reflecting radiative heat (electromagnetic waves, e.g. body heat or fire and ambers). It wont help much with convection (rising warm air). So I believe it would really help if you do not have a sleeping bag and your body heat is reflected back. In case you have a sleeping bag, probably most of you body heat is absorbed and the effect is reduced. This is pure theory, however. I have never tried it. Thanks for the great idea (which practically adds zero weight) and cheers, Martin 🤜🏻🤛🏻

    a mylar 'space blanket' similar in size to his saved my life.
    one day hiking in new and unfamiliar forest counry here in colorado in the 90's
    the overcast sky led to becoming disoriented. i had no GPS then and my compass
    didnt help .
    i hiked about until after dark. when i finally accepted that
    i was lost and was going to have to spend the night out.
    some good news was a logging clearing along my path. and its abundant
    dried branches made for a quick fire. i knew that a fire meant survival.
    it was already a habit to carry emergency supplies in my day-pack
    including matches , water, and the space blanket.
    after the fire was lit the mylar was used as a cover. the fire warmed me on
    the front , lit-up side . and i recall feeling the mylar reflect my back-side body
    heat.
    i fell asleep on the ground right there near the fire. and woke up
    several times. added fuel to the embers. and fell back asleep after
    awhile. temp was in the 40's.
    in the morning i found numerous holes in the mylar where sparks
    had burned it.
    i knew which way to go. and found my car just over the next rise .
    about a half mile away is all.
    now that episode was over 20 years ago and to this day every
    hike is treated as one where it could happen again. the only
    difference now is carrying a GPS ( with spare AA's ) and a cell fone.
    coverage in the mtn's can be spotty, yet it is getting better.
