Love all your Polish Lavvu setups they are looking great 👍
Thank you very much. I think they are a great piece of for your out door activities.
@danielcharbonneau222 i have a size 2 lavvu i want to get one them center tarps for mine super awesome
@@BrosephRussell I do like mine, gives you lots of floor space. Everything together is on the heavy side, so, In the winter use a pulk sled, summer your vehicle. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Hope to see you again.
You are correct Sir! I love mine, getting the center mod thanks to your video. Love it! 👍🏽😎
Thanks and your welcome. Drop in any time, take care.
Awesome video! Just got my lavvu's recently, & cant wait to use them.
Thanks. You are going to enjoy it. Just remember, the center pole has to go LOL it will give you a whole lot more room.
Hi from the UK🇬🇧 I really liked the first set-up, (although isn’t that Spanish Bushcraft company pretty pricey?) Great tent for two people, carrying a poncho each with Spanish tarp/tent & equipment shared between.
The two poncho two pole set up, I liked for myself, but how do you justify carrying two ponchos on a single man hike? Nope! I guess I’ll go with a single poncho, two pole set up and bury myself in a bivvy!
You looked awesome wearing the poncho. You totally rocked it! Thank-you for the obvious time you spend making these really informative and interesting videos.😊
Pricey yes, but, way cheaper than if I was to order a wax / oil tarp 7' X 7' from the US. the shipping cost alone, man that's crazy expensive. So in balancing out the best price, it was this extension from Bushcraft Spain for me. Plus it was a direct build for this Lavvu setup. See how I justified me buying it. LOL. It's not a light system in any case, but for car camping and a short trek into the woods to setup, it's not so bad. Winter outing using a Pulk sled, perfect way to bring it in, stove and all. Now my Bell tent setup is a few pounds lighter but sometimes that footprint is harder to find in the woods compared to the Baker tent configuration. For me in backpacking a trail or walking 5 miles or so a single poncho or a 10' X 10' DD tarp is the better way to go for sure. My friend, thanks and please come back any time.
👌😁 pa' altos campamentos geniales en solitario o muchos amigos!
Buenas noches. Me gustan estas configuraciones. son fáciles de montar por una sola persona y se pueden instalar en casi cualquier lugar. Me alegro de que hayas pasado por aquí para ver y dejar un comentario, gracias. Que tengas una buena semana y espero que vuelvas a pasarte.
Jess from Endurance Room uses the two lavvu's and a GI pup tent half. That looks interesting. I also have both GI pup tent halves. All are new.
Man I placed a bid of $83.00 Canadian {shipping included} on ebay on a complete set of unissued US Military pup tent haves and won, so I paid for it. Man I couldn't wait to get it! Two weeks went by and I never received the tracking number, the seller would not reply to my emails, ebay refunded my money. I kept looking and found that the same seller, ad and all was again selling the pup tent halves, but this time for $150 USD LOL Long story short I'm still looking. I'm subbed to Endurance Room as well, good channel.
Rad video love the setups
Thank you very much. Also thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Drop in again soon.
I bought one and also made a custom lodge twice the width.
Man John that must of looked nice with room to spare.
Love that first set up with the additional central piece.
Man Paul that setup is sweet for sure. I bought the plastic pieces that will eliminate the center pole, I think it will gave a person as much room as needed, comfort for two. Again thanks for dropping in to view a few videos.
Thank you, great set up, great job. Greetings from Austria 👋
Thank You. Greetings from Ontario Canada. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment.
Very nicely done. Love all the different setups in one shot. Really gives one a good idea of the real versatility of the poncho.
Well thank you very much Steve. Versatility, so true! Yes a lot of people were asking me to show them how to set one up. So I figured I'd show them how the ponchos can be used as shelters. The size two that I was wearing at the end I also use as an awning over my un-modded Lavvu setup, peek to peek and tied. Then you can use trekking poles or two branches to hold everything in place. That's a cool setup as well. Thanks for dropping by Steve.
That is pretty neat. I like multi-use items like this. I typically carry a standard poncho and use it to set up a plowpoint shelter. I might have to add a Polish Lavvu to my Christmas list of goodies. For simplicity, I'd probably just carry one and set up TeePee. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.
Yes your right Jonny multi-use items is a must to keep it light and simple to carry. I do like my canvas LOL. Thanks for dropping by my friend.
great setups there. that poncho is one of the most versatile out there
Thanks James, yes very versatile for sure.
Looks real good. Thanks for showing us and take care.
Your welcome and thanks for dropping by Quinn.
The long one.
Hahaha Same here. But, I've slept in the modified Bell tent quite a few time, Richard it maybe a toss up.
I really like the Polish one you just put up. It’s more roomy. Plus you can sit out under the awning. I do like the other also though. It reminds me of the inside of a tipi (more room than one realizes). The stealth (solo) one is neat too. I’ve never seen one of those. Very awesome. Very informative. Thank you for sharing! Shared!
Thanks for dropping by Kat. I do like my fully modded Lavvu with the zipper and skirt, but, that awning does look so cool. Once you use a bipod or tripod system in place of the center pole, that alone makes a big difference in floor space giving you tons of room.
Really good informative video. Just purchased a pair of N°3s. The Bushcraft Spain mod is superb, will get one in the future.
Thanks. Yes the Spain insert makes a big difference, fits like a glove. Gives you loads of room. Thanks for dropping in and leaving your comment. Have yourself a good week.
Good with tin film can survival candle and poncho sitting down.
Yeah your right. It don't take much to stay warm.
first one would be awesome for bike/motorcycle camping. my tarps are 76 and 77 (big one) and 74/75 for mid sized. awesome stuff, but heavy compared to synthetic ones. i've impregnated mine with silicone based water repellent and now they are close to perfect :D
First off I would like to thank you for dropping by. Yes the synthetic ones are way lighter, easier to handle and pack well for sure. I also have a DD 3X3. I think you can very well do almost anything with it, very versatile. Have yourself a good upcoming weekend!

I watch dozens of channels, and this presentation is the best. Thank you for that. If you make a follow-up to this video, can you place something in the tents (sleeping bag/mat) for frame of reference? It's clear the Size 3's are massive, but I'm curious how many people each of these tents can hold -- especially when a stove is used while hot tenting.
Thanks for your kind words. Yes I will do that for you in the future.
Amazing work
I got your video notification
Thanks
Welcome.
See you around my world
Very nice work.
Do you think it's possible to make the bell tent setup with a single pole and some cord stretching at an angle to replace the tripod?
Thank you very much. The original Lavvu setup comes with a center pole, but takes up to much floor space that's why I use a exterior tripod. You can also use an interior tripod which works great. You can find two trees that are about six or so feet apart that both have a fork at the same level and if so you can use a strong enough pole and wedge it between both trees and tie it off than tie off your Lavvu in the middle, using a small stone inside at the peak. {remember the wind} If you don't want any poles you can use a ridgeline {your choice of cordage} from one tree to another about six feet high than place a small stone inside your setup at the peak and tie that off to the ridgeline. This is a very good setup as well. If you find a spot where there is a large tree with a good size branch that is at an angle horizontal to the grown at about six feet or more you can also use the same method with a small stone and tie it off to that branch which is another good setup. {remember heavy wind can be a problem using this method, you need a big tree} There are so many ways to set up your system. you just have to give it a go and see how well it holds up and which setup works for you. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment. Take care.
Carbon dioxide is CO2. Carbon monoxide is CO. 1 vs 2 molecules of oxygen. Both will kill you. Monoxide is much more dangerous though. Thanks for making this video. I have the Lavu's already and I have been wanting a baker tent. This thing from Bushcraft Spain will get me there. Close enough anyway. Cheers.
Yeah at 24:29 I did say Carbon monoxide but followed up by saying CO2, I tried to cover both in one breath LOL I do like the versatility that you have with these ponchos. Bushcraft Spain did an excellent job in matching their addition to the buttons and material used in the making of the Polish Lavvus, they did a great job! Check out Ste's channel, this is a good video on what he did to master extra floor space, its massive. ua-cam.com/video/xKzO46u6TeY/v-deo.html I glad to stopped by Bud. Thanks for subscribing!
I would use a truckers hitch on those guy lines.
Nothing wrong using a Truckers Hitch, I use them on my Ridge Lines. As for my guy-lines I've always used the Taut-line Hitch, I've been using that knot since the early 70s, it's just memory I guess. I just find it an easier knot to loosen and tighten when needed.
Very cool... IS something similar to the first setup possible with a 3x3 tarp??
Thanks. Sure you can easily do that with a 3X3 tarp.
That's crazy what you can do with poncho's
The one with the middle section looks like a lot of room.
Are these poncho reasonable price? Cool accessories for it
Scott I do like these Polish ponchos because of what you can do with them. I've bought all mine over three years ago. The seller was asking for $90 US per pair, delivered {for one set}. I did get a cheaper price do to ordering 5 sets. Now I'm seeing them go for $200 plus per pair, not including delivery for the size three like I have. {New} What I have new and even used are extremely hard to find in a size three. Size two and size one are a little easier, but still have a heavy price tag on them now. It's becoming a big thing in Bushcraft in the UK and surrounding Countries. Everyone is willing to pay the big price, and the sellers know that. I bought mine before the craze started.
@@danielcharbonneau222 it figures lol. Something to keep My eyes out for.
The Baker tent configuration was used in my Scouting troop! We would face them to each other with the flaps forming a awning down the center. Good for summer, teepee style good for winter. Seems you are able to get them easily than here, US. The low profile would have gear touching the canvas. When raining, you touch canvas, water seeps thru. Where did you get the tri flange plastic ?
I too like the Baker style, but, I also like the Bell tent style as well. Well all I can say is,,,,every part of me would touch the low profile setup. LOL I put the link on the Woodsrunner. I've had my original military Polish Ponchos {new} for over three years now in storage. Size three { with the three grommet holes} are extremely hard to get. Size two and size ones are still floating around, but are getting very costly as well. I believe that Military Mart in the UK were going to have a company start making reproductions of the size threes, not sure where they are with that.
Tri flange from Roughtimba in UK
@@sunshine-nu1df Thanks, yes I did buy a set. Got them a while ago. It will make a big difference now.
I putts this on 1.75 speed and it still was a long video..lol...
Hahahahaha I know I'm long winded at times. I just want to be thorough. I guess I could of made 5 smaller videos, one for each setup. Mental note to self. LOL I'm so glad you stopped by and left me a comment just the same.
@@danielcharbonneau222 Good if though..be well..
Where did you buy the second pole from, given the fact a Polish Lavvu only comes with 6 sections for a single centre pole?
During the making of this video I have 6 double sets of ponchos with poles, the far back one has no center pole {outer tripod} plus I have about three more canvas tents and three nylon tents {lots of poles} When ever I go to yard sales that have tents or just poles I buy them cheap, sometimes I scrap the tent and just keep all the poles. As long as you have one original pole you can make as many as you want with poles that you've gathered from other tents. {note you can have a 6 pole setup or a 4 pole setup or a 3 pole 2 pole setup} I cut my poles the exact same size as a 4 pole setup. Never turn away someones else's scrap tents!
How long did it take to receive the extension from Bushcraft Spain? I have two medium lavvu's. One set I'm thinking of sewing them together and putting in a zipper like everyone else and sewing in a bug net. Now seeing the extension, I just might have to incorporate that into my plan. Daniel, I can see you're going to cost me some money.
LOL I wish money did grow on trees. Yeah about the extension from Bushcraft Spain, man it didn't take long at all under two weeks, Spain to Ontario Canada. I bought it in April 2022 from their ETSY store. Now my Total cost at the time was $315 Canadian. At first I though it was a little pricey so it took me about 6 months before I ordered it which cost me about $21 more do to the waiting {C-19} if you know what I mean. www.etsy.com/ca/shop/bushcraftspain?page=1#items This is the exact site I ordered from. Being in Canada I had to pay customs that's why its a little more than what they are selling for. In this video you'll see my modified Polish Lavvu Bell Tent, I built that myself, love it! I could of built the extension as well I think but I think that Bushcraft Spain does {did} a better job at it. Even looking at it today, I think I made the right choice.
I've noticed a few youtubers from Canada were saying that shipping costs were crazy. @@danielcharbonneau222
Hit that like button 👍💥👍
Yes LOL Thanks.
I would love to know where you get the middle section I've got the ponchos
I ordered the middle section from Bushcraft Spain. bushcraftspain.es/producto/polish-poncho-lavvu-modification/
I paid £43 pounds for the ponchos but £199 for middle section is that right?
I've got a stove aswell
@@robertrobinson1333 Yep I did pay for it. It all buttons up like a glove. A good 3X3 tarp would do just fine and give you the same affect.
@@robertrobinson1333 Using a stove makes a big difference. I've used mine in harsh winters with no problems. ua-cam.com/video/pGCsDT6L2GY/v-deo.html
