I've had one of these shelters but have had only time for a basic backyard pitch. I had no idea there were other variations until I watched your video. Thanks again for this highly infrastructure demonstation Mark!
Really quite versatile. Thanks for commenting
I think you absolutely could turn that into a Mors Kohanski super shelter. I'm just getting started with shelter skills and tarps. The challenge I'm noticing is the carry weight of shelter components and trying to manage/balance that. I guess Mors would say I simply need to learn more as the more you know, the less you carry. Great video Mark I thank you!
Right on. Takes a bit of work to get things down to the necessities. Thanks for commenting Steve
Mark, I appreciate your work, very much. Clicked the affiliate link and purchased... have a cup of coffee on me !!!
Awesome, thank you!
Adding the little tarp is the way to go. A super shelter would be interesting.✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
It is a great bit of kit for sure. Thanks for commenting
Color coding ties on the long end is so helpful. I hate fitted sheets that don't have top/bottom at one end. That is a nice item to keep in a backpack. A fire, wind protection, and hot coffee - life is good. We're in a drought here in Ohio. I haven't been bitten by one single mosquito yet this year. Usually while picking strawberries they make life miserable. We're suppose to get rain tomorrow.
We just had some very welcome rain but not enough. Still under a fire ban. Thanks for commenting
I really like this tarp for an emergency cover that you don't mind throwing in your rucksack for a day hike, as like you stated, it doesn't take up much space. I would much rather have this then a mylar space blanket. Cheers Mark.
I agree. The only space blanket I would use is the more heavy duty SOL version. Thanks

Hi there buddy oh pal of mine 😊. Being a former USMC. It’s no different than the shelter half’s we used for bivouac. Might wanna try that if you can get another half along with the extra one you purchased. Run the edge away from the wind overlapping the two opposite of each other and then the smaller one over the top for ventilation. If your with with a partner? the set ups are great just the way you have them. Ingenious I’m my opinion. Or you can overlap the edges depending which way the wind is blowing. So if partnership is available you can create a bivouac with a rain fly over the top or an S.O.L large emergency blanket as a rain fly. The combo’s depends on what gear you have available. I just explained that the so called survivalist wanting to just use a poncho are over when people are switching to tarps for shelters. Ultra light gear. Quote: when in an emergency you want be able to travel light. Military ponchos are designed for military personnel not civilians and are trained in its usage. But since non of those guys are real military personnel or former they only teach them to improvise gear and not show it’s exact usage. This how military personnel maintain their gear then we improvise!!! Now that we have come up with ultra light materials day hikers can carry the minimum listed gear and not be overwhelmed. God… people are so obsessed with wanting to carry as light a pack as possible. When some necessities cannot be light weight. And since I have a stalker who is determined to say he’s real military and not I have been showing everyone in my Facebook wall the difference. I have a small tarp 10/10 ultralight if conditions become abnormal and can create a more in closed area, but as you said room inside the compartment of the bag depending on what size bag I want to use is the question? I can see myself carrying just the two plus emergency gear and do an ok job under extreme conditions. And is very compact. Sir that’s why I love your channel. Stay good 😊 at what you do!!!!
SEMPER FI
Your experience is most appreciated. I need to look at getting a couple of half shelters. Thanks for commenting
Good review Mark , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Very welcome. Thanks for commenting
Great ideas for a quick and lightweight shelter!
Glad you liked them. Thanks for commenting
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting
Thanks!
Very much appreciated
Nice video, thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting
G'day Mark, we have a lot of large "day walk" type parks/tracks here and with our random weather, mad if you dont take some form of shelter IMO. Btw; love the term, "storm stay" .............. says it all in two words ; )
So what a fantastic idea to address "tarp origami", ... particularly on 3 sides to begin with.
With some thought it may even convert into the ol' plow point type arrangement, which I do like for a storm stay emergency, but if not, no drama.
It does occur to me that the opening in "standard" configuration results in a trapezoid too, perhaps two of them together even better, especially if you're with a companion. Though I do very much like the porch set up all the same.
Re: prusiks; with ya, use carabiners for efficiency, and if you find you need a couple elsewhere, ..... then replace with toggles and there you are.
Oh yeah, re; super shelters, I reckon very large HD clear/opaque plastic bags are the go, apart from shelters, great for leaf litter beds and my fav ..... transpiration bags, but very hard to find here at a reasonable price.
Anyway, very good vid mate, dont think I've seen you do shelters before.
Cheers Duke.
Hi Duke. I think it is similar to the half-shelter used by a number of military's. Two together would likely work well. Thanks for commenting
pakleader4 beat me to it-I was a soldier, too. I used the Bundeswehr shelter half-and it is quite similar.
But it is freaking (I did not mean freaking) heavy - it is canvas.
If it gets wet-even twice the friggin weight.
The Austrian (not australian-I don't know their gear)military shelter halfs are made out of some kind of plastic-much lighter and completely waterproof, very reasonably priced, too.
You might have a look at those-they come with tent pegs and segments of a tent pole to make it work without a ridgeline. And again, as mentioned by packleader, two persons shelter halfs give you an enclosed tent.
Besides I concur with pakleader4 (again) on your way, it is a good way, Go on if you please, sir!
Thanks for the tip. I will look for the Austrian half-shelters
I'll tell you how the tarp/bug tent combo works.
Love to hear about it
I have been looking at that shelter for awhile seems like a great option to have, I do have the large tarp/ground sheet works great also the poncho which is very good,great review,they seem to be making great products
I also purchased a hammock from them yet to be reviewed. Good quality and design. Thanks for commenting
Unfortunately, the company is unresponsive and doesn't respond to emails, and their chat bot doesn't work
So they answer your emails?
I was just going to buy their poncho and was looking at getting a tarp at the same time, great timing! I
Turning this tarp into a super shelter sounds like a great idea and you don't need to carry much more in terms of weight and space.
Right on. I need to look at their poncho next. Thanks for commenting
Cool concept, price, and weight.
However, you clearly demonstrate that it needs to be a couple of feet wider to be a satisfactory shelter. In a real emergency, I would rather have a tube tent.
Seven foot width (rather than current 4.5 feet) would still weigh less than 15oz and would be a more useful tarp.
OneWind's bug net inner is almost more interesting, except that it has no floor, so: Ticks.
If I were going to use a second tarp with this, I would consider their poncho/tarp. This tarp, poncho, bugnet, and a Tyvek groundcloth combined would weigh about two pounds and cost about $100. That's an attractive alternative to a tent, albeit cumbersome.
Regarding the poncho, if only it had a full-length front zipper, then it could become the best poncho in the world.
Overall, OneWind products have attractive pricing and weight; just not quite enough coverage to make them as great as they could be.
"OneWind: Almost Excellent".
So far I like everything I have from OneWind. Thanks for commenting
HI Mark. Did you ever get the bug net for it? Just got the whole set up, but I have not had it out yet.
Not one from OneWind but I have another one I will try with it. I am testing another OneWind shelter now that came with a bug net. Thanks for commenting
Hello Mark, I was wondering if in your opinion a toaks siphon stove would pair well with a goshawk pioneer pro. Or if it better pairs with the goshawk siphon stove. Thanks
The Toaks would work fine. I do not have a Toaks siphon but I do know it is a bit smaller than the Goshawk siphon. Thanks for commenting
Sage advice for sure Mark. I almost always go for a woodland walk these days with some sort of kit in a bag. Mainly to add a little bit of load bearing exercise for my conditioning as I hope to do some long distance hiking soon, but also because I'm aware that people that go out for a day hike have had mishaps that took their lives. Had they brought along a little bit of gear, such as; shelter, means to make a fire, and an extra layer of clothing or two, they probably would have survived their mishap.
Right on. Knowledge, skills and a bit of kit go a long ways. Thanks for commenting
Was thinking thatcthose thru hikers or bicyclists campers might like that tarp system.
Yes, great choice. Thanks for commenting
Have you seen Onewind mosquito net for the shelter?
Yes, I hope to get one. Thanks
What trekking pole(s) are you using or do you recommend? Thanks.
I have two good quality (and few cheap) sets of poles. My older poles are made by Komperdell. My newer poles are the Goat 6 poles by Get Out Gear, I have a video on these if you are interested. Thanks for commenting
I’ve never built a super shelter so i’m curious how much protection a thin plastic sheet gives you from fire embers. Cheap plastic easily replaced, when holey, but will it protect the silnylon?
I know what you mean. Even the Mor's shelter is a plastic sheet over a parachute cloth tent. Thanks for commenting
looks nice might have to get one of those, sadly their ponchos are a no go. not for quality but i cant make peace with that GIANT logo
I have not looked at their poncho yet. I will now. Thanks for commenting
I have their poncho
An excellent product
One of the best I have used
The tie outs are very good
So both rain gear and and very good shelter
Check it out
Yes, I am looking at the poncho and a few other of their products. Thanks for commenting
A bargain for the price, shelter bug net and tarp, about $85.
Right on. Hope to add the bugnet. Thanks for commenting
Awesome Review Mark,,,,Shelters are a MAJOR part of Survival should it be needed & I like this portable 1 you got here.
Thanks for commenting Derek
