I like how you always use " for me". Everyone likes things the their own way. Your way is usually tried and true but you don't assume anything. Great setup. Great knowledge. Thanks.
Tarps, natural fiber rope and UCO candle lanterns - three of my favorite things right there! In part two, please do a slow, close up explanation of that knot. Thanks for another good video.
I like that idea. I see lots of videos on using trecking poles, but I use a walking staff. Mine is about 85 inches long. It was a branch from the back yard tree. Felt self conscious when I first started using it as it was long, but now I take it walking the dog or backpacking with my son. It does not have a fork at the top but that is easy. You could use a piece of cordage with loop on it with a larks head. It could be a wrist strap then slide it to the top with a toggle through the tarp loop and another larks head with long cordage for guys like Dave showed. I don't see much on using a walking staff so this is great stuff. Thanks Dave.
I made my own sleeping bag out of wool blankets out of two electric blankets with wire ripped out and double stitched together and is so warm! Love your videos I camp full time and have u watched lady from Holland Miriam Lancewood who just arrived in Australia here with hubby Peter who lived in new Zealand wilderness six years and hunted and busked for supplies!
Nice setup. I've been meaning to make a candle lantern but have not gotten around to it. That Uco one is actually pretty fair priced on amazon and looks like it is made in the USA which is cool. Might have to get lazy and just buy that one.
Hello! I've been watching tons of UA-cam to supplement your Bushcraft Survival Guide books, acquire some of the skills you've outlined in there. I started watching this video and was like, "Damn, this guy read the same book I did!" And immediately slapped my palm into my forehead when I checked the video creator.
Another fine video. I really enjoy these videos because I like to compare the knowledge with what I know and test other ways to see how they work or tweak them a little to fit my needs or environment. Great job and can't wait to see part 2.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I set camp up very similar to this a couple weeks ago on a campout with my daughter (5 y/o) - she enjoyed it, but I got a lot of slop in the lines over night and the tarp ended up sagging pretty good. I'm chalking that up to the rope (I didn't take decent rope and tied my ridgeline using paracord). I really like the toggle idea, makes me think it might be a good idea to make myself a walking staff with a fork right in the top.
Hi Dave, As always; well explained step by step video! Thank you for continue showing and shearing your knowledge. I've always used my 3 system military sleeping bag. If I want a change the way I sleep in the wood; what would be the top ones wool blankets for hike and camp out?
I'd tie mine with saddle strings , back when I was young , we burned the woods and mountains off , made better grass for everyone's stock , killed of lots of ticks , so I didn't get as many when I made a leaf bed for my bedroll. My bedroll was for a full grown man , 2 thick blankets and a old thick piece of thick and heavy tarp , I'd cut a green stick to make a bow to keep the tarp off my head , put my boots under my blankets for a pillow. Wish someone would have taught me how to make all these thin tarp shelters
Dave, I see you use the UCO Candle Lantern. I would like to know if the wax runs into the bottom and it a mess to clean out? I think they are cool and want to get one. Also do you use the bees wax or regular wax candles?
The stakes alone weigh more than a 3 Man Hot Tent including stove. But if I go fishing a lot 2 nights a week the tough pegs do make a huge difference sometimes I had to drive them into compressed rock hard banks of a lake or river sometimes tarmac.
Digin the sleeves you have there Mr Canterbury, is that NEW Ink, or am I just not paying attention? Always good to see your GREAT tips that you have learned from your experiences! ;Peace)
Could you do a modern family camping setup tips vid pls? I know its prob not your thing and there wouldn't be much to teach but i know for sure id still learn something that i would use.
Dave, Have you given any thought to maybe doing a winter camp with dogsleds? I think that would be cool. It may also make you think of other new products.
hi, just a suggestion, maybe you could apply some sort of filter to your video thumbnail to make it very vibrant. I was just looking through my subs and this vid's thumbnail looked sort of washed out as if it was already seen (and thus discouraging the un astute from viewing it).
I have 2 older GI hamics and was wondering what would be a good insulator I could sow on the bottom side on the inside of the canopy to cut down on the draft from the cold?

I love the loop through the tarp eyelet and toggle idea! Lots of of good info. Thanks from BC, 🇨🇦

i appreciate your efforts to keep simple living relevant, through marked improvements on otherwise accepted philosophy
Reminds me a lot of finnish decades old shelter called "loue". Great video as always, thanks!
great little windbreak, going to adapt this for use when I'm fishing on the beach in winter.

LOVING the upload rate lately! Thanks for the great work and vast sharing of knowledge Dave.

I like the candle lantern trick. I’m going to try this next time. Thanks Dave

I love a good, usable knot. Thanks brother.

Nice. Using your weight to pull the stake instead of muscle saves your back and prevents injuries.

This is great. Simple and easy. Thanks for some new ideas.
love your videos and mentality! greetings from germany!
Nice quick shelter
im so freaking jelly, its already rainy and crappy the PNW. i miss indiana autumns
love to sleep like that but has to be pretty cold because of bugs and rattlers in s.tx , dont even get enough cold weather to dry sausage anymore

I like hemp line for natural cordage.
where do ya get them stakes? best to make your own?
Cool Setup.
There's my homie, Rufus.
would this work in a truck survival kit?
I enjoyed that video , on the tarp did you sow the corner piece in or were they made in all ready? going to part 2. take care Dave
Dave did you make those tent Stakes and if you did can you show us how to make them in a blacksmithing video?
Very good.
Dave, have you ever waterproofed a tarp on a video? If not, could you possibly do a video on that subject? Thanks.
Nice video, I may have to try that when I go out in heavy rain :)
Interesting, I just picked up a huge roll of big jute rope at a flea market dirt cheap.
Digin the sleeves you have there Mr Canterbury, is that NEW Ink, or am I just not paying attention?
Always good to see your GREAT tips that you have learned from your experiences!
;Peace)
Good Job Sir
Could you do a modern family camping setup tips vid pls? I know its prob not your thing and there wouldn't be much to teach but i know for sure id still learn something that i would use.
I just ordered a 10x10 and am.wondering if that is too big for me with fear. Any opinions?
Did he say the size of his tarp?
i like it , nice simple way to control cooking heat cheers

Dave, Have you given any thought to maybe doing a winter camp with dogsleds?
I think that would be cool. It may also make you think of other new products.
I've heard mention of a gum blanket for traditional use but can't find one, any suggestion?
Look for civil war reenactor supply outfits- generally they call themselves "sutlers".
Thank you. Sounds like they might be similar to a WWII poncho. Kind of a tacky feeling rubber coated cloth.

Does he ever say what tarp that he is using?
great vid
I can never seem to find the wool blankets you use on your amazon spot?
They are only available on my website
thanks. and thanks for all you do and knowledge you pass on. it means so much to many of us!
What was the name of that lamp?
thank you John:)
Dave where is part 2 ? I can't find it.
Rusty Nail He hasn't made it yet, I don't think because this one was posted today.
ok thanks . yea I did see it in his videos . thanks , I just thought I miss it.
No problem. Take care.
:-)

again: awesome!
thank you brother
