Roofless Winter shelter

- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Winter shelter of the more tactical sort. This is on of several shelters used in arctic and sub arctic military operations. It dissapear under the surface, gives little or none silhouette, and does not give away the positions as easy when having a fire going.
Also it is a good option in colder weather when a campfire is only option for heating. A logfire is to prefere, and as explained in this video, that was the plan. But it would have required me to dig out 3 times as much snow as for this shelter.
There are several camping/bushcraft tips hided in this video, you have to find them yourself ;)
Enjoy, and thank you for watching!
Finally, a real bushcraft channel. I am so tired of these so-called bushcrafters that love to show you how to cook a two-inch t-bone steak on a flat rock. Thank you so much for what you do.
Good trip Odd. That was some deep snow. That was way deeper than we get here.
Thank you Lonnie. Yes it was about 5 feet and deeper than expected. It was pretty hard packed too, so it must have been deeper earlier this winter. I planned to do a log fire, but have had to dig out much more for that.
Yes, my son who now lives in Norway is getting his last winter trips in! Thanks for taking us along with you on these fantastic camps, always a joy to see the acknowledgment showing up. Stay safe and keep them coming. Regards Clive
Thank you Clive!
All the best,

Hello Odd, wow you have a lot of deep snow there! I enjoyed watching this over night adventure in the snow, awesome shelter. I hate it when I have to get up and go the restroom more than once in the evening too..lol..lol..When my children were small they didn't like oatmeal so I would add a bit of peanut butter to it and it's taste great and they ate it up, try it sometime, even the powder peanut butter works great. Thank you for the show, Take Care
Thanks Karen, I put sugar in the oatmeal to make it better, but still.. This premade stuff is not good. I tend to bring this bigger grain oatmeal, and boil it up with water, then it is better, not so sticky. In the army we used to add hot chocolate powder to make it better.
Up to pee in the night is not fun in winter due to all the work.. And not in the summer either when you finally have found the good position in the hammock! :)
I will try the peanut butter solution.
Thank you for watching

A solid demonstration, Odd, of this winter shelter concept -- and with your usual mellow reflective demeanor. Nicely done.
Thank you!
Really great video showing how to do it 'warts and all'. Really enjoyed it and learnt from it too. Thank you. ATB Nigel
Thank you Nigel, glad you enjoyed it and fond it interesting. My pleasure.

I always learn something from your vids. I will pass along something that I have been using. SOL makes a double sized 2 person mylar heat sheet for 7$. I safety pin it to my poncho liner, mylar facing me. Makes the woobie super warm. I also also put a zipper in the woobie so I can wear it as a poncho or with my military poncho. I use it as a blanket, a poncho, a underquilt fo my hammock, shade or tarp-fire reflector, and part of super shelter with plastic drop cloth. Although the mylar heat sheet is strong I put a small piece on clear packaging tape on it before safety pinning it to the woobie. Liked your vid
How cool wasn´t this then! Thatś even more snow than here.... I just remember my overnighter in -28 Deg.C this winter, when i watch you here. One eats anything thats warm after a really cold night.
Nice video Odd!
Thank you! I only eat that shit cause it has some good carbohydrates useful for the rest of the day. ;) Wasin Sweden for a course in start of March, same amount of snow, but softer and colder. It was a very nice week.

Nice over night camp !!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! My pleasure to share.

Tea is better :))
Welcome back Odd and thank you for the video. Hot water bottles are a must. Interesting and comfy sleeping area. Maybe two hot water bottles next time; one for front, one for back.
Take Care.
Donna
Thanks Donna, but coffee is better ;)
I used the water bottle at my feets, and I`m glad I did. I was bit cold on my feets when turning in, but after an hour they were toasty warm. :)
Thank you for watching

My name is Thomas Roles I'm from Forest Hills, NY I do love your videos Thanks very informative
Great video, nice to see you back in the woods. Have a great weekend.
Thank you Abe!
-Odd
Thank you for sharing, that was an impressive shelter. 'Temperate' was fine, but 'not shitty cold' was funnier.
Great video thanks for posting again
Thank you sir.
reminds me of forts boy make growing up. Brings back so many memories! Do we ever out grow this urge to do this? A few times in my life, due to stress and some situations, I thought I had but here I am, planning my next one and watching you enjoy yours. I hope I never fully "grow up" cheers my friend.
Alan, most likely we will never grow up! Boys will be boys! and that is good.
What is your next planned trip my friend?
-Odd
up this area of a river few have ever gone. Its waterfall after water fall and the only way up is constant leaving the river and climb through the brush, I have not once, see another back there in 30 years! I want to climb and hike the river to its source.
Haha.. I like your attitude. That sounds like a hard, but also rewarding trip. I like that kind of challenges.
awesome video, thanks for sharing! great to see you again. hope all is well!
Everything is good my friend. Glad you like it.
-Odd
Great to see you odd. Just so you know i still use the stuff from the survival kit i won from you years ago. Well except the emergency fire starter supplies i still have those sealed up waterproof like they came. I didn't want to break the seal if i didn't have too. And the little flashlight died on me awhile ago lol.
Great! It makes me happy to know it is still in use!
Thank you for watching
Odd
Thank you for making your videos. Very interesting.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
@@NorwegianBushcraft Can you tell me what type of rucksack/backpack you have in this video?
Would have been interesting to see what a temperature reading and compare with out side your camp?
Thanks again.
Hey Odd, great video and nice camp !! Thanks for sharing, Atb Brummer
Thak you for watching, much appreciated!
One of the things I like to do for that type of scenario is have one of those thermal blankets handy that looks like aluminum foil, and then wrap that around the "chimney" wall so that it deflects the heat out toward me, and also helps protect the snow wall from radiating heat melting stuff.
Really enjoyed this over-nighter, Odd, Living life to the fullest You are my Friend. Hoping you & Yours have a Happy Easter, Friend. ATB Ter God Bless
Thank you Terry. Glad you liked it!
I put a slit in the heat sheet so I can pass my head through as well. I put a small piece of clear packaging tape at either end of the head slit to prevent it from tearing and safety pin it to the woobie. The heat sheet and woobie as a bag, poncho, or under quilt pulled up around me- with a piece of foil reflectix or car windshield sun reflector as sleep pad will take me down to 28F with minimal clothing.
Sometimes I use the car windshield reflector myself. It is small and light weight. Mylar rescue blankets is not something I like to use. I have used both blankets and mylar sleeping bags. Both helps with keeping some heat, but it is a wet experience...
👍🏻always enjoy your vids.
Thank you :)
-Odd
very cool video, thanks for sharing
Glad you are back making videos. That is a lot of snow and a lot of shoveling. Did you stay warm in the “pit” during the night?
Yes thank you. I spent a good night. I put on some insulating pants and a down jacket early in the evening when I felt a little bit chill. IF not I would have woke up cold later. During the night it was almost to warm, so I took of the pants and opened the jacket. The Jerven bag helps a lot alone.
Thank you for watching!
Tolle Schneeburg ;) Super Odd!
Loved the shelter, Wow you have a lot of snow there. How long did it take you to dig out the shelter hole? Looks like it would protect you pretty well from the wind, also I'll bet it helps keep the heat from the fire. I wouldn't take much to put a partial roof over it either. Thanks for making the video, always enjoy your channel. All the best......Charlie
Hi Charlie,
I guess it took me a couple hours digging. Then some more work with the spruce and firewood. The snow was pretty hard packed, I could for the most lift out blocks.
This shelter help the most against wind and drifting snow. It keeps the air still down there, and then eliminate the windchill factor that is quite dangerous in the winter. When its cold, anything comming down from the sky is dry, so a roof is not needed. But if it has been snowing heavily, I would have choosen another type of shelter. As you mention it also reflect the heat from the fire well. I did bring a tarp to put over if needed, but did not bother. It is allways nice to be looking at the starts during the night.
Thank you for watching
-Odd
Totally agree about going to sleep with the stars above you. Thanks again, I always enjoy your stuff. Charlie
Hello Catherine/Charley. I too have been a fan of Odds NorwegianBushcraft channel here for years. I always enjoy seeing how other knowledgeable Northern folks have adapted to their surroundings. It is good to see you here as well my friend.
Odd,
Nice to see you back in the woods. So do you prefer dealing with the cold in winter without bugs, or like camping in warm weather?
For me I prefer the cold, (except for crawling out of the sleeping bag in the a.m.)
Take care.
Well, I like both. But I find the winter simpler, yes it is colder, but still simpler. And the nights are dead silent. In the summer you have all the bugs, but still it is nice. In the spring it is very nice to be out, all the life in the nature is waking up, birds having concerts day and night, animals run around, and there are many fresh edibles around to pick.
The autumn/fall is also a very nice time of the year, it is starting to be cold again = less bugs, and the fishing is on its prime.
Thank you for watching

In previous videos you said you aren't a big fan of oatmeal. Look up Chao Ga on UA-cam. It's Vietnamese rice and chicken porridge and very tasty and easy to make. You could easily use pre cooked or dehydrated chicken to keep things simple.
Thank you for the tip. I will do that! I eat the oatmeal just cause of its carbohydrates. It last a bit longer than easier breakfasts. But taste like snake-poo!
Very nice.
Thanks!
Little hint from a Old Man, put yur coffee in Paper packages? b4 ya leave home,& make yur coffee? use paper too start yur fires, just tryin to help w/ yur trash Brother!! Kool Videos ^5s
Good tip Brian. I was testing this coffee packs at the time.
This is how it's done👍
Thank you!
At 12 minutes you wake up out of the sleeping bag and put on your boots that have been out of the sleeping bag all night no doubt getting frozen inside .
To all Royal marines this is a No No. keep the boots in the sleeping bag after getting all the snow off them. no doubt the fire went out and even then the boots would not have retained the heat. Bad mistake spent 23 years in the Royal marines doing arctic training every year, know what i`m talking about.
Nice one Odd it is time we go together now the d... snow is almost gone, my last trip ended in Hamar finally a spot with almost no snow :) cu soon partner
Very nice video. I don't know how you handle the cold😂😂😂 I am a warm weather guy.
Warm clothes helps a lot. And when the winter starts, we all up here have a periode of climatizing.
Stunning... Where is Gåsbu? And why was it important to not make a silouette? (I’m working my way trough your channel, urging new knowledge 😊)
It is in Hedmark, Norway. It was not important to not make a silouette in this case. The silouette thing was just an explanation of this type of shelter for military use.
..off to Google «Hedmark» 😉 I guessed that you are a military- man.. it is vissible in the way you stand and move 😊 Enjoyed the video!
@@ladybug4762 🙈 Have not been for many years now
Once an officer, always an officer - isn’t it 😊
@@ladybug4762 Dont know about that
Need my 9 ft x 28 ft tyvek fabric. Able to make 4 poles and guy/stakes in a 7 ft square shape. Put up 6 ft height w/ 3 ft footprint all inside. Open sky, but massive wind and cold protection. Able to have small fire in the center 1 ft square area keeping warm, and heat reflection from the tall tyvek. Weight ~3 1/2 #.
Never seen that one. Interesting. Do you have any video/pictures?
No, but it is easy to see. Draw a box diagram of 7 ft square. Leave open the top. Draw in the overlapping 4 sides of the tyvek 3 feet as the footprinting, and this leaves a 1 foot square at the center of the shelter. Using the appropriate sized poles (cut limbs) and bungees and guy/staekes, tie up the bottom and top corners. The 1 opening of 2 edges fits tight on the same pole. If you want to make it any more closed up, then can sew small magnets on each of those 6 foot edges, and then you have a magnet door.
With my John Fire-Can (with entire enclosed cooking/eating/fire making gear inside a 5 1/2" diameter x 7" tall device ... you can have a totally safe (spark proof) fire making/heating/cooking unit, put inside a small dakota fire pit for further safety. CO (carbon monoxide) is lighter than O2 (Oxygen) so it just wafts away above the sides. The smoke of the fire-can smokes any mosquitoes attempting to fly into the shelter. If a small tea candle can be used under a space blanket and have great warmth, or inside a tent and have +5F increase of heat compared to outside temperature, then my fire-can will have you in the tropics.
There is also an option for having a 12x12 foot tarp or sewn tyvek. You can make a true pyramid tent (with inside footprint) under an overhead tree limb. At the halfway points on the edges, you stake those down. This gives the regular corners (and grommets) pull upward, and with cordage or a small S hook you can tie up the 4 corners to the limb. The limb provides all the tension with the 4 ground stakes. The edges of the tarp come together very tight. If you sew in magnets on all these edges, you can then close up the edges very tight with the magnets. And as you have one edge overlapping the other edge, and if the wind (winter time) comes into the tent, then change the overlapping so that the overlap is downwind. In summer time, you can have these overlaps grab a little wind, so that you have airflow through the tent.
With this true pyramid tent design, place the campfire downwind of the tent. The tent then becomes the windshield for the campfire. Now there is 2 designs for the tent, when facing the fire. You can have "a corner" facing the campfire, and this allows you to ungrommet and lower down 2 sides of the tent, and the heat can get into the tent. Otherwise, make the tent "broadside" to the fire, and this allows you to have 1 side to the fire. In the daytime, this allows you to air out the tent, get heat into the tent, and at night you just raise up that/those edges, grommet them to the S hook, and all is closed in, nice and neat. A 6-piece tent (cordage w S hook, tyvek/tarp w grommets, and 4 guy/stakes.
YT Survival Russia Lars and his snow barrier tent, and your dug-in tent design works well for both of these designs. If you carry the tyvek or tarp, then this can be the same pulk cover over the rest of the geare.
Hei,
Flott film👍🏼
Hvilken jakke bruker du?
Hei, det er en jeg akkurat har kjøpt og driver å prøver ut. Varusteleka Särmä Smock.
Har ikke overnattet utendørs siden april 2015. Må nesten vurdere å dra en tur ut i naturen igjen etter å ha sett dette. Kunne tenkt meg å prøve isfiske i og med at det begynner å bli vinter. Har du noe erfaring med det du evt vil dele?
Hei,
Ja du må komme deg ut en tur :) Drev litt mer med isfiske i ungdommen, har ikke så god peiling på dagens opplegg med isfiske, men den gangen så fikk vi en god del fisk med vanlig blink 20cm over kroken med maggot.
Fin video :) Hvor er dette ?
Hei,
Det er i Hedmark. Noen km fra Gåsbu
En del mere snø en vi har her i Sarpsborg haha men ja veldig smart måte å holde varmen på
Takk, det var sunket sammen en del så snøen var hardpakket. Var 1,5 meter ned til bakken,. så det var nok godt over 2 meter tidligere i vinter.
Takk for at du ser på!
NorwegianBushcraft såpass ja hehe
SPOON
flott video :D
Thanks!
YO !!!!..
