    How does this work with no fire in winter when temps are around -10 F? Did you ever test it at that temp?

    • @NatureAliveAdventures
      @NatureAliveAdventures Před 11 dny

      Thanks for your comments. It that temperature, it works well as a greenhouse when the sun is shining on the plastic front of the shelter. But you need decent full sunshine to trap a bubble of warm air inside. Without sunshine, or a candle(or two) inside, the shelter will not really warm up beyond what your body heat adds to the inside - with the front door closed. Its success at any temperature depends on the shelters ability to allow sunshine or radiant heat from a fire - to pass through the clear plastic, and be trapped inside the shelter. Without that external heat source, it's basically just a simple tent. Take care

    Some really solid analytic and imaginative thinking has gone into the formation of the MK Super Shelter. I have some concerns about the disposability of materials though. Poly-plastics and mylar-plastics are deadly in the environment. They break down into micro-plastics and create havoc in ground water and manage, over time, to get into our food supply. There should be some emphasis on recycling and/or proper disposal techniques to round out the innovative aspects of this technology. Just my 2-cents worth. Thanks for being smart. We need it these days.

    Folding or Take-down pack saws are more practical for packing along than either in most situations that would require it. Designs for wooden take down saws are great because the saws are somple enoghvthat you can usual make a replacement part if you need it, even out in the woods.

    Occurred to me there is a different way to make a super shelter, dig a shallow hole to lay in, put plastic sheet over hole, reflective mylar on floor, Sun's long rays heat ground during the day just like a car gets hot on a sunny day, should dissipate heat slowly during night.

    • @NatureAliveAdventures

    Hello, Have you had any burn holes in the tent from hot embers from the chimney? Thanks!

    • @NatureAliveAdventures
      @NatureAliveAdventures Před 5 měsíci

      Hi. Thanks for your question. So far no burn holes in the Shackelton tent. But yes I have burn holes in my older canvas tents. They occasionally occur when the wood being burned throws large embers. Luckily, most canvas hot tent manufacturers use sunforger marine canvas that is treated with mildew and fire resistant chemicals to prevent burn holes. But I always recommend that you never leave the camp area unattended with a hot fire and sparky wood going. Take care.

    I'd love to experience a trip like that. However, as I live in the UK, it's not going to happen here. We dont have the wilderness or access and permission to undertake anything remotely similar. I hope you guys appreciate the opportunities you have that other countries don't.

  • @nacholibre1962
    @nacholibre1962 Před 5 měsíci

    The natives wouldn’t have moved in the winter. They’d make shelters of animal skins and spruce boughs and sleep together and have a small fire right in the shelter. Enough to stop from freezing and the body warmth was an addition. Plus they slept in their clothes. Don’t forget they had dogs back then, too. Ever heard of “two dog night”? That’s because they used the dogs for warmth. The dogs were also used as an early warning system, as pack animals, for hunting, for clothing, and sometimes for food (in a pinch). So it was a layered system and not just one thing. Great video though. Just show what a person can do. And don’t forget those family groups were three generations. The grandparents helped to look after the children when they were very small and teach the. The women looked after the shelter and did the cooking, cleaning, washing, looked after the fire, and made clothes and skinned animals, and foraged for berries, etc. The men were trapping and hunting, often for long trips at a time.

    • @NatureAliveAdventures
      @NatureAliveAdventures Před 5 měsíci

      I agree with all your comments for sure. They would have chosen a winter camp that had fuel and proection from the wind. Firewood close by would be the highest priority. Hopefully they had gathered enough food and dried meat in the warm months, to last through the winter, so that they didn't have to hunt or trap too much in bitter cold. It would have been horribly tough to get through the winter with only bone, stone, wood, and leather tools. Its currently -45 with wind chill of -50 Celsius here - hunter gatherers in cold northern climates would have had it so difficult. Many wouldn't live very long due to infection, and illness that is easily treated today. Thats a lifestyle I would not want to have - except for our little brief jaunts with modern tools and equipment. Take care

    This may be a long shot asking but I’m trying to set up Otter monitoring where I am locally to track the populations and how they’re doing. What cameras and settings did you use? Any advice on how to set up the cams? Thank you so much!!

    • @NatureAliveAdventures
      @NatureAliveAdventures Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks for reaching out. I simply use trail cameras for out camera captures. I bought them at Cabellas - dont buy cheap ones as the pictures are poor and they dont work well. I stick with Bushnell or Browning ameras and expect to spend clise to $200 for them. Look for sales and go for it. I like to set the cameras to record 15 or 30 second videos, and I rarely do pictures. We enjoy the videos much more than pictures. Look for dens or scent piles for good opportunities to set up your cameras. Trails are very random, and the success rate on trails is less than focus spots like scent piles and dens. Let me know if you have further questions. Take care

The otters on my property made some holes in the snow close to the creek, so may have a tunnel to it...or a den..? And also a scent 'spot' ...cool! And they sure leave cute slide trails, hey? :)

    your too funny suggesting it would be better to take the chisel no one would choose chisel over auger

    • @NatureAliveAdventures
      @NatureAliveAdventures Před 6 měsíci

      The people who take ice chisels need to make larger holes than an auger can make. That's it. Trappers only use ice chisels because they make large irregular holes for trapping beavers. Winter trekking enthusiasts take chisels to make holes large enough to take polar bear swims in, and to full large pots with cooking water that dont fit in auger holes. Commercial fisherman and First Nations peoples take chisels to make large enough holes to drop nets into and pull large amounts of fish through. They do get a lot of use in certain applications. Cheers

    @grantpahlke9045 Před 6 měsíci

    I have been opening water holes, usually 1 foot wide byv6 feet long, for cattle each winter for the last 40+ years. In my humble opinion an ice chisel like you are using, was never designed to be a ice hole opener. You need to use something with a point on it. A chisel is good for reopening a hole with thin ice or for shaping a hole once it's been opened.

    • @NatureAliveAdventures
      @NatureAliveAdventures Před 6 měsíci

      I agree with you now. I have moved to using a very pointed ice chisel design. Thx for your comments. Sorry for the slow reply
