That bird feeder idea is G.E.N.I.U.S! I've seen the pole set up on another, same angle but on the inside so you tie all three poles into a half tennis ball and tie them from the outside. Worked really well. If i lived close by to a place i could wild camp I'd have one of these but no way I'd be carrying one. Amazing things though, the design is unreal. Cheers!
Thanks pal tennis ball sounds like another interesting idea. Yeah like you say these aren't built to carry miles being pretty bulky
one of the very few who know the inside from the outside of a laavu. Good video.
Thank you bud!
Using the paracord elevates it off the ground abit which reduces rot 👍
Great stuff man! These Lavvu shelters are super interesting. Genius idea for the stove jack! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
@Tea In Valhalla sent me
Thanks for checking it out I really like these things! Good of them to give a shout out 😊
Subscribed! Brilliant…I just bought my lavvu. These tips are handy and the video/audio quality is quite good. Thanks for the info mate…looking forward to more videos.
Thanks for the sub! I've done a couple vids on the lavvu I'll be back out in it again this winter 👍
best tent for winter by far
Looking forward to it this year 👌
I really like the bird feeder idea! Brilliant idea! Safe camping.
Thank you mate hope I can get that working now
Cracking video there mate looking forward to seeing it at LAVVU ON THE FARM
Thanks man I'm torn between this and my hot tent looking forward to it
Metal cutlery holder with a hole for the chimney works too
I've swapped the original pole for 2 longer tent poles I had already,lashed together at the top... plenty stable once pegged out and less faff than your tripod as they go inside the canvas whilst still creating maximum internal space
I like the sound of the two poles I've seen some people using 3 inside which looks to work good too
Did you know if you find a big/long chunky zip none of that ykk garbage, then stitch buttons on one side a hot knife holes in the other half you've got a button in zip mod (obviously line the buttons and holes up with the lavvu) the bushcraft Spain modification is awesome but you might want to find the rest of a pole first as it's got a space for it on the ridge between the two half's
Definitely worth adding a zip would make it way easier getting in and out
@@MrWildWales yeah them buttons can be savage on a cold one, I've had mine years and there's nothing better than a summer night half a lavvu down hidden down by a river with a fire close by or smothered in bug repellent
Loving the mod with the bird feeder well done. Rather than sticks on the outside you could maybe sort out a ridge line. It's looking great I can't wait for the video when you camp in it.
Should work alright I'll test it before use though! Yeah you could hang it onto a tree above too
About not having poles for this system? Go online and you can find East German military wooden 3 pole system that comes in a bag. Works perfectly with the lavvuu system 😊
Sounds like a good tip to me!
Good show thanks
Cheers 👍
That's cool stuff enjoyed it
cheers bud
@@MrWildWales anytime mate
Got one of those in size 3 version. I've never used it but I need to learn
Pretty cool little tents
Nice one Adam, you can get them modified with a loop on top to hang from the tripod which will give you more room inside 👍 atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Much better with the poles outside I think. A loop would be great 👌
Great video. Can I ask for measurements of each triangle in the poncho?
That's a tough one! I'm going with 190cm long. Are you making your own?
@@MrWildWales Yes, I will make my own. Can ask for the width of the triangle?
It's currently packed away down the shed but if I remember next time I'll tell you
@@MrWildWales thank you so much!
NIce video...........No need for the three poles outside.......use two.
Thanks yeah I've heard that it's solid then is it
@@MrWildWales Absolutely. Some people (don't understand why?) have the poles on the inside: not only does it diminish interior space, it also encourages leaking through capillaric action with the canvas on the poles.
Ah that's not good seeing as I just bought a leather holder to fit 3 poles in the interior! Ha I haven't tried it yet probably give it a go next weekend
Nice one Adam. Do you not think that the metal attached to the bird feeder will transfer the heat to the tent though? Its very conductive obviously. 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah I was wondering that but they seem to sell them that style for winner well stoves. Trial and error before I install it!
@@MrWildWales I'd definitely try it in the garden. Why not get a stove jack to wrap around it to be safe?
Some sort of silicone sealant might do the job
Pomoly has tent for hot wood stove stack
Yeah they do some good tents I've got one of their stoves
Nice video, thank you. You have a new subscriber.
Can you tell me how long the poles need to be for the tripod?
Just for information, I measured the centre pole that came with my size one, it's 140cm.
Thanks for the sub! I'm not sure of the length sorry they can be a lot longer if they are outside though
Super cool film.🏴
Thank you! 😊
Hello. Can you tell me where i can buy this tent ? Thanks
It's army surplus so you need to get lucky. I got mine from militarymart.co.uk
Late reply but how tall are you mate I'm 6ft and can only find size small lavvus
Hi there bud, I am also 6'. The larger ones are harder to find. You can cheat and add longer paracord to the tie out points. It also helps to lie low to the floor but you will find it very snug whichever one you get.
Hi, How tall are you? size 1 is good for 178cm? what do you think?
I'm 6' I've got the size 3 but still find it a little tight to be honest. It's better when I hang it from above to sleep in the middle
What size is this?
Size 1 👍
How tall are you and what size do you have?
I am 6' this one is the small but I've since moved to the large this felt a little cramped
"Polish lavvu" isn't correct name of this tent. Name "lavvu" is from the Sami (Laponian) language and means a Sami tent, kind of lower tipi. In Polish we don't have and use this word: lavvu.. and when U are using it, it's a mistake and funny. No Pole or Slav call it "lavvu". It's like calling the Indian teepee or Lapland lavvu using the name: plash palatka... or more correctly the pwashch pawatka (Polish: płaszcz pałatka).
I know that the name "Polish lavvu" has become popular and that this tent exists in the world under this name but ... I will describe briefly the situation that took place in the Polish Military Property Agency where such a tent could be purchased: when, out of curiosity whether he would associate this name, I used the words: Polish lavvu, the seller - soldier - did not know what it was about. He immediately knew the word "pałatka" (your "palatka"). Our army does not use this name "LAVVU" either ;-)
Your "plash palatka" is an incorrect attempt to English transliterate the Polish name of this coat-tent. It should be "pwashch" or - making things a bit easier - "plashch" (Polish "płaszcz"), which means coat. Palatka (Polish "pałatka"), means tent and should also be written and pronounced slightly differently, because the closest equivalent of the letter "ł" is the English "w". The completely correct English pronunciation/transliteration of these words would be: p-w-a-s-h-c-h p-a-w-a-t-k-a (w as in "walk", sh as in "show", ch as in "cherry", ). Use a translator with pronunciation to check the pronunciation of these words: PŁASZCZ PAŁATKA in Polish and you'll understand what's going on.
Płaszcz pałatka means coat-ten, a tent made of a mantle/coat, two in one. We call it short pałatka.
Additionally, if you said "plash" (or plash palatka) to a Polish who doesn't watch English-language bushcraft movies, he or she wouldn't know what it meant, because the word means nothing. He would definitely associate the word plashch, especially if you pronounced it as pwashch ;-)
Thanks for the in depth information. Maybe army surplus stores here use the wrong name on purpose to limit supplies? My dziadek was Polish
