That is a nice video and I saw that technique used by two others in their videos on how to survive in a Winter shelter. One of those was in and from Alaska. Again, I am glad that you showed us all how to do this and I love the shield you have built to help radiate the heat towards your shelter.
I wonder if you're just riding out a storm with no fire how good that would be? Pretty good I think. A homemade tuna can wax candle stove inside might even be pretty comfortable in a 3 season storm?
+Carlos Zenteno Thanks Carlos. If it's warm enough out for mosquitoes to be active, this shelter would be overkill. It's definitely a cold weather shelter only (at least with the fire going outside). That being said, smoke from the fire does somewhat help keep flying insects away. All of the shelters I demonstrate in these videos are for the purpose of short-term survival, not necessarily for camping or "smoothing it" in the woods. In survival conditions, mosquitoes are usually not one of the top concerns- staying warm, staying hydrated, and finding a way to signal and get rescued are. Thanks for the question!
+Ranger Mike Thanks for the response Mike. I know it is a winter shelter, but I am thinking on adapting it for summer because I am going to take my girlfriend (who hates hiking/camping) out for long hikes and want to have something "safe" just in case we need to spend the night in the "boonies"...
+Carlos Zenteno To close up the gaps in the plastic sheeting, you could bring along 6-10 of those heavy duty paper clips, and just clip the sides together. That's what I'd try anyway.
You will need an adjustable wrench. A Phillips head screw driver.. 12, 3 x 14 counter sunk screws, about 13' " of 2x3 lumber, treated preferably, you will also need a Stanley knife, a small rip saw and some mastic, preferably silicone in a colour to match your chosen decor. Make sure you charge the batteries on you hand drill. Your airconditioner should come with installation instructions. Read carefully before you make any cuts. Be aware you will need circuit breakers and possibly a transformer and enough extension leads between your powersource and your choice of installation. Consult with local authorities to ensure you meet all bylaws. If necessary don't be afraid to call in professional installation services. ps get spare batteries for the remote control. The ones supplied are often inferior and have little life in them.... Dont forget to dispose of packaging in an approved enviromentally considerate method.
