Yes, I have a lot of traditional gear and I am always amazed at how useful and durable it is. It is the kind of stuff that our ancestors depended on when there was no Walmart or Amazon etc. Thank you, my friend! Your views and comments are always appreciated!
That is a very nice tarp! No doubt it is top quality. That is the type of gear you can use for many years of service and feel good about the investment. I look forward to video 100! Congratulations on hitting that milestone James. I look forward to many more to come brother!
I'll always go for a tent due to bugs but love the classic lines of that thing. This took me back to my first camping trips as lad. Canvas and wood poles though we didn't have to make our own poles!
Hello my outdoors friend. It's a nice looking set up. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the thrift store challenge, video #100. James, take care out there. 🤗
Thanks. This company makes them to order, any size or shape. I highly recommend them. And, I agree, they are hard to find and that makes them a little more expensive, but worth it!
I share your opinion. That's a damn good looking tarp. That's the exact style I was wanting to make that I was telling you about. I may have to buy one of these. But at some point I would kind of like to have a homemade one. All my other canvas tarps are green.
@@captainfragger6295 it's a custom-made tarp. you have to call them and they will make it for you to your size dimensions and where you want the loops.
Back when I purchased mine it was right around $200 I believe. It's made from sunforger canvas so it's quite waterproof and stain resistant not like the old canvas that would leak on you if you touched it.
Always like the old classic vids. Do you think you could do some tutorial videos on how to build shelters where you are not able to find long enough poles or don't have means to transport those of such length. I'm guessing it'll be a series on lashings etc. I personally would like to setup an a frame next time I go camping but I can't fit long enough poles for the ridgeline in the trunk of my car and dont have permission to cut things down onsite.
You can use either the three piece army poles from the old shelter half system or you can use trekking poles which can be adjusted for the main poles and guy the rest of the tarp out.
@@WayPointSurvival thanks James indeed that's what I've been thinking but not exactly bushcraft ;-) I was thinking of a scenario where you need to build a shelter but there are no long poles available, how could you make a longer ridge pole that's strong enough to support the shelter? Plenty of videos on how to do the straight lashing etc themselves but no one I've found. Has actually put out a video showing it in use in this way. I'm not sure sure if the straight lash is strong enough to support the main poles when they are on a diagonal either. Guess I'll have to buy myself some wood and try it. I doubt your average wooden broom handle would be strong enough though?
Instead of looking at broom handles, I would look at wooden closet rods. You can get them in various lengths and they could be shaped to fit your needs.
Outstanding! I’m really starting to re-appreciate canvas again, it’s just awesome stuff. That tarp looks solid! Excellent brother!

Thank you, brother. I really appreciate it!
I remember an old timer prospector had a camp site with one of these back on the 60's. Awesome.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you, I'm looking forward to using it in the 1880's series I'm working on. Maybe I'll also make some old time bug repellent to go with it.

Thank you, Ronald!
Back in HS, was still in Boy Scouts and we had Baker tents, that were made of a light weight canvas.
Excellent, thanks for watching!
Great video! Love that ur doing things from 1880s cant wait 4 more videos nice tarp also
Thank you, my friend!
Real nice tarp. So looking forward to your 100th video. As always thanks for sharing. You make Mondays worth waiting for. Have an awesome week.
Thanks! Glad I can make your week a little more interesting!
Nice tarp James. I'm sure that will serve you well. Thanks for sharing brother.
Thanks, Chief!
Oh love these canvass tarps.
So hard to find good quality ones these days. Custom made, way to go.
Cheers.

Great canvas tarp shelter setup. Good tip about not mushrooming your tent stakes. Very good custom designed tarp !
Thank you!
Really nice tarp thanks for sharing this awesome video can't want for your 100 video keep up the awesome work
Thank you, Jack!

Thank you! It really is a great tarp and very versatile. Definitely worth the money.
@@WayPointSurvival I looked on your link I couldn't find it. Found a lot of other stuff

@@WayPointSurvival okay I hear you. About how much does one cost?

That reminds me of the first tent I put up. Ends were folded down tho, to enclose it.
Yes, that's good for inclement weather.
Another great video. Keep it up!
Thanks!

👍😇 LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! ALSO LOVE THE BEARD TOO!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
That reminds me of a 3m x 3m tarp.
Yes, except this one is a little smaller at 9' x 9'.
Cool video.
Thank you!
Really like this A Frame. Do you still have that tarp?
Yes, I do still have the tarp. I've actually used it in several videos. Mostly, I used it for the 1880s camping series.
Hey there! Do you know the weight of the canvas?
It weighs between 10 and 12 lb.
