It's crazy to think that you have your own product line for these after this many years it's awesome! Congratulations Dave Canterbury! Been a huge fan of yours for a long long time.
You can also stuff the tube with leaves and grass for insulation as needed.
For sure
good idea
I love the old school bushcraft , I live on the Missouri River and enjoy following the Louis and Clark expeditions and seeing how they did things back then .. Great video Dave .
Thanks Dave!, I've been using that basic system since watching Shawn a couple years ago, set a couple different configurations using the 6 mill bags . my favorite is using the reflective tarp in conjunction with the raised bed, in fact I've reused the 6 mill bags at least 6 times now! Love em, especially after ,turning 60, I found I liked that better than crawling around on the ground!
Is it possible to make this with just rope? assuming you have a paracord ratchet device
Saw a guy do that using just two “logs” about the size of railroad crossties. One placed at each end of the bed, chopped a notch for each pole’s end to sit in to keep the poles stretched apart. That way no tripod was required. But hard to find logs large enough probably. He did this in a abandoned out building that had that type material laying around. Impressive though.
Great advice (again). So many of your videos cut to the very core of simplicity. That rig is not only multi purpose - but also looks quite comfortable.
Thumbs up.
This is the best type of shelter....they should build tents like this...no one wants to sit on the mud
Looks comfortable. I enjoy these kinds of setups in the summer time, but have never utilized the “tube”. I always end up sleeping in a debris hut and building a large lean-to for working in the rain right next to camp. I love debris huts. Great video!
I made mine from rip stop nylon. I'm a short chubby dude and it held up well. Jeep from econochallenge did a good job at bringing this to light also. As for the multi day. You are most definitely right. I took this setup out and took awhile to get it set up. Great demo
Love this shelter/camp setup. With a cushion & tarp,& a blanket...as good as a man needs anytime. Lucky enough to find the rt area, this could very well b a permanent place...at least until winter.
Did the same a couple of years ago at W.I.T.S. Outdoors with Art Dawes. We used two large feed bags end to end for the sleeve and brush on those for insulation. We just tied the ridge line on the back tripod poles.
I have been using one of those for about 4 years, which I made from rip stop nylon. Loads of different configurations as a generalized sleeping system -- some without tripods. And many other uses beyond just a bed, as you showed.
This would definitely be the number 1 option for a semi-permanent camp in an area that has a lot of bugs or ticks. I'm glad Dave will be making the system to sell. I'll probably buy it.
Hey Dave, this was great brother! I can't wait to see whatever you guys develop from this idea. I know it will be awesome. Thanks for all the great videos and information that you pass on to us and others.
Might not be new, but it's still a great idea! Goes up much quicker than a lean to shelter using all natural materials, yet wouldn't be unheard of to carry the tube and a tarp if on horseback, canoeing, etc. Thanks for the reminder about this shelter!
eager to give this style a try. Been binging all your old videos demonstrating this style. I have always had a bit of snake paranoia so I prefer being off ground lol
I have a setup nearby, poles are pre-cut and tripods made, just stand leaning on a tree. Carry in gear and assemble. Been using it now for for 3 years. I use a mil stretcher canvas that I can also use as a hammock.
Awesome idea!! I think I'd like that better than a hammock.
Like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest...good job Dave
Dave a thought. came to mind, a person could use a 50 gallon trash bag stuffed with leafs and place it in the middle for insulation.
i made my sleeve using two large burlap sacks. just unstiched the ends and sewed them back together in the middle. that was a couple years ago and it has held up very well. Also rest the pole on two logs, one at each end and staking the poles works out quite well as a alternate setup to the tripod method. quick light and simple:)
Great set up. The geometry can be used with 2x4's.
It is a very comfortable setup for sure and will make spending multiple nights in the woods very enjoyable.
Very nice shelter and bed. Thanks for sharing
I've seen these before. Great system and no reason a person couldn't do a few quick lashes if needed to help keep everything in place... BTW, like the self made bag tip...
I've had this same idea for a while after seeing a post of a couple ways to make a stretcher. my favorite one is taking a few shirts and folding the arms in and running the poles straight through. if you take spare clothes anyway then there's no need to carry spare kit.
I couldn't get on board until you had that stretcher on the tripods. Nice ❤
I sewed my own out of some canvas and set it up early afternoon tested it for a couple minutes and all was good...when it got dark i laid down to go to sleep and it totally ripped out on me, i had to reconstruct my shelter in the dark with my flashlight in my mouth...not fun but a learning experience lol...still the most comfortable setup in the woods for sleeping
You could modify it into a lean too with wood for a more permanent I would be excited to see an all in one system that's portable it's weight and bulk. I'm working on shelter designs as well. I appreciate your videos.
I made something similar to go on a ladder type frame that I can stuff with leaves or my rollmat and because its on a ladder frame I can just rest it on a log or rocks either end so I'm only a foot off the ground and saves making tripods but i still have to make 2 cross pieces and wedge them n good. I will make a video on it soon Dave .
hey Dave love the videos the two tripods with the stretcher is a great idea try it with a ridgepole that's the key 👍
Nice.
I like that type of setup.
It looks very useful. And like you said " no taco effect ".
we used to make them with fed bags to didn't last long but it works you can also slip into the sleeve and suspended that or as a emergency bivy if you had to stay safe brother
great idea Dave; I might be able to convert a harbor freight paint canvas tarp 4 x 12 by sewing it into a tube to get a 4x6 cost $15 on sale for $7 ,,,, and like you said use it as a sack just tie a bottom from the inside with paracord and you got a big back pack or military bag type if you add straps to it, for all your gear ...very nice gadget for multipurpose use ....thanks !
Rise bed is a lot better a hammock, no taco effect and it’s great for side sleepers. Using to hefty trash bags work well for long term shelter. Wake up with no back pains with a good nights rest😴
Very Good! Big hug from Brazil!
Nice setup, looks comfortable you always give great ideas.
Nice!! I've been trying to work it out in my head to do it all in one tarp stretcher bed for the last month now. it'd be slick
I like it Dave..elevations good for avoiding conduction & bugs etc, as your well aware.
Sweet..let's not forget, if a person were to make one of these sleep-sleeves, canvas double folded at seams & sewn with fine nylon fishing line would be easily suitable for human weight & breathable. Add some filling after setup for heat retention.
I love the way u show how to smooth it even though it's been out for awhile .
Excellent video. Can't wait to build my own. Thanks a million. U da Man.
U should make and sell these. I can't find anyone selling anything like this on the internet. I've ordered some canvas to have one made. U could make a camp chair canvas set up as well. It can all fold up in the tarp for a complete survival shelter
I like that set up!! A good comfy night sleepy really makes a big difference in moral and the things you can get done!! I am going to have to make me a sleeve !!
A couple feed bags works too. Love the vid
Got a video on that from about 4 years ago feed bags are very narrow
+wildernessoutfitters your right thy are. I just meant that they are light weight and can be folded up and tossed in a pack. I do really like the versatility of your canvas tube. It's a good bed, can be stuffed with browse, ( like the other subscriber commented) and can also become your pack. Multifunctional
Great set up.
Dave I noticed on a lot of survival shows. people are eating up by misqitoes. any suggestions on different ways of preventing that? Love your videos, very informative. thanks
Look up how to make bug dope, there is a video here from Dave that shows how to make it, it does keep skitos and other bugs away, if you dont have time for that one can always just go and purchase hig end bug repelant from REI, Sportsmans warehouse. Wal-mart. and other fine retailers whom sell sporting goods.
Sawyer Picaridin is the brand is was tryign to go for but had slipped my mind during intial post. That brand is manual pump though i believe you can find it in airesol form aswell.
We don't have the misquitos like you guys do in the eastern woodlands. But what we do is grow a lot of mint. Then extract and put into a small spritzer.
Not Dave, but seriously- tobacco smoke. You don't have to inhale it, but it works as a commonly available solution. DON'T soak a bunch of it & rub it on your skin- it'll be like an all-over nicotine patch & that might kill you. Wild geraniums, yarrow, mint- there's others. Garlic seems like it can be rubbed on skin or clothes, but might cause problems on scratches/cuts (seems it's somewhat toxic that way, but not eating it).
Eric 10cannons I believe you can get an ember burning in a horseshoe fungus or moss to create a pleasant smoke effect that bugs hate.
I bet a couple of small, simple benches to support the ends would be lighter to trek around with than the poles for the tripods.
Are the tripods preferable simply because they're adjustable?
ive used this system for a while. its by far my favorite.
Thanks Dave. Great Ideas and I'm always learning from you.
I really like this setup, though my main concern is still tearing out the seam. But then i have no clue how strong seams are, and how much stress will be on them in this type of configuration. I have seen this used with nylon material as well on youtube, so it is possible as such as well (just fyi) ... seeing i do not know of any such system on the market i would be doing it DIY and with my concerns and very limited sowing skills & knowledge, I thus haven't....
Ps. you can also set this up a bit simpler, put four reasonable diameter logs on the ground, two at each end. Then put a log on those that is as wide as you want/need the bed to be. Put the poles on the big logs, with the space log in between... Depending on the material available to you, this may be a quicker way to get off the ground than making the tripods and f'nagling around. But if the material is stretchy and you didn't go wide enough, you will still lay on the ground or touch it when you sit on it, and you will have less means to adjust (but to make a new spacer, or find bigger base-logs)
Dave. I really like this. Throw two sides with canvas tarp and it's a tent off the ground.. PAPA DUKES
Thanks very much Dave!! Cool information
wow nice lesson and tip most impressed thanks Sir Dave 5 Stars thumbs up!!!!!!!
Love this setup, my only question would be where to get a canvas ‘tube’?
also great seat and bed combination. sitting in a hammock is ok but ok. I wonder if I can get canvas at harbor freight??? blessings sir 😇
Looks good might do one but with a cross brace on the tripods
I like this set up ! Once you set this up a few times it should go up smoothly .
thanks as always Dave! So the only lashing you use is for the tripods? Hope all is well with you and Mrs. Iris.
Dave, long time no speak, but this setup reminds me of the baker tent, talk to ya soon brother at the gathering.
Would feed sacks (maybe 2) work as well?
Most feed sacks are now made of a plastic material, but are really lightweight and reasonably strong.
fantastically informative video as always, thanks dave! will have to order me a 7 x 6 bit of canvas!
this would be great incorporated into the super shelter!
Looks pretty comfortable.
Great show thanks.
Works better if there are two of you (I tend not to camp solo anymore), but it's a great way to do things.
I like the idea of using the bed fabric as a carrying bag when mounted on a frame. But you posted a video of a much better idea where the cover tarp became the pack. Much neater and, to me, more useful. I will stick with my DD hammock & tarp set up or my tent rather than this but please carry on exploring other ideas and sharing them. This is not for me but others may like it.
Eu gosto de todos os seus vídeos ! (Brasil)
I like all your videos! (Brazil)
Sure like this setup i hope to try making one.🤠
why setup a separate ridge line for your cover when you could just place a pole across your 2 tripods and drape your tarp over that. great video as usual dave.:)
my great grandfather was a gum digger in the early 1900's, colonial New Zealand, used the same system except using Hessian sacks and palm thatched hut.
love this!! thanks for sharing
Could you run the ridge line between the tripods if you drove them into the ground a little or pegged it down?
Would be a good free standing setup that way.
Where does one find this tube? And what about tying the tarp underneath to make a tube?
I've done this using a tarp to make the bed, just used heavy duty carabiners to attach the sides of the tarp, make it into a tube.
You know, if you take that canvas tube and put some small grommets along the bottom, I bet you could use some para cord to whip stitch the bottom close and turn it into a browse bag
Do you have a video of camping with a bug net? Could you please make a video of this set up with a bug net incorporated?
i think it would be possible to use wool blanket in such way. anyway its just a great setup and no cordage required because the bed itself rests on the tripod
Mr.Canterbury. Mind if I ask where or how that canvas tube was made? Did you stitch that or is it from like a Canvas supply place? Curious how durable the stitch is. Thanks in advance Mr.Canterbury
Thanks Dave
I use a USGI military poncho in the same way as the canvas that Dave's using.
Dave, what do you recommend for cordage in a bushcraft trip? I've hear people say that paracord is good, but some have mentioned others that I'm not sure of.
Very nice. I like it.
I need to try this. Is it any softer than laying on the ground with a foam mattress?
Feed sacks work great for this too
Got a video on that from about 4 years ago feed bags are very narrow
***** ha! That's probably where I got it!
thanks Dave for the great idea I'm planning on putting a kink to my face book pages on this video
really good idea
thanks for the video
I love your vids
What is a good weight canvas for something like this?
awesome thanks for showing us. ill have to give this a try.
As you get older this raised bed may be much more comfortable than a hammock.
thank you for the video and the information
This looks like a really great idea but also a pain to get set up.
Hi could anyone tell me where I could find a canvas sleeve like this?
Awesome bro!
nice idea. 1 was wondering watching you set it up if the idea might benefit from a couple of spacer poles of a known length on the ground between the legs even if they are marker sticks to help you get it up right first time. But like you said more a long term idea
I like the one done on corporals corner UA-cam channel. He did it with a military poncho ,I like the simplicity of it.check it out if you haven't seen it, god bless
Any sources for a good solid net hammock?
I put Y sticks under each contact point between the tripod and the bed for extra supoort.
Where can you get the canvas tube?
