      Hope this is helpful for you as no one like to sink in the ground around the campfire!

    I like this footprint! I got one that goes with the chair, but often don't take it because of the weight. I think this would be a lighter option!
    Have a great day ! Kaat

    I first heard of this idea from a channel called " Its Good In The Woods " he used old tarp material, great idea. I made a couple out of Tyvek that work awesome, and did a short video of it, its an idea thats been around for a while.

      That video was awesome! I had some left over Tyvek and decided to make a few using a similar tactic to create this. Will check it out!

      @@ItsGoodintheWoods This was not a rip on your tarp video my friend. Your tarp video was great! As Mark twain once said, “There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.” Happy Friday!

    Excellent! I was going to mention Justin's DIY hack but I see he commented and included his link in the description. I like how he was able to also use it as the chair case. Keep up the videos.

      One of the things I love about the backpacking community is that everyone shares ideas on UA-cam. Everyone adds their own twist so we continue to learn and create new things. Thank you for the onging support my friend! Appreciate ya!

      @MetroOnTheMove  Рік тому +1

      This was inspired by It's Good in The Woods and what he did with a piece of tarp. Tyvek is less weight, so it made sense to me to create this. Hope you two are doing well.

    Good idea. I also used one of those bubble envelopes that Amazon uses, doubles as a sit pad too. Have also used a couple small flat rocks from the area and even a wide stick or chunk of bark from the immediate area. You have a healthy looking scalp by the way :)

    Oooo, I've been wanting to do this but using an X fashion (to reduce weight 😂). I like the safe place to throw the phone, etc. Appreciate the tutorial!
