Welcome to my channel FloridaBoy Survival.
This is my channel dedicated to showing you the challenges that we have to survive in the woods of Central Florida. We have snakes, deer, wild hogs, panthers, raccoons, opossums, mosquitos, and the occasional black bear to contend with. Central Florida is a wonderful place if you can learn the tricks of the swamp. I am a life long resident and have been tromping around in these swamps since I was a kid. Come along with me and see some of the beautiful and possibly dangerous places that Florida has to offer.

How to Properly Install a Ground Sheet for Your US Military Pup Tent
zhlédnutí 750Před 3 měsíci
Today I look at how to make a floor for your US Military Pup Tent from a cheap 8x6 tarp that I got for $5. Using a ground sheet is very important with these tents as they do not have any kind of floor that comes with them to protect your sleeping pads, sleeping bags, and keep you dry.

You don't have to prove or show that gun is unloaded. You knew it wasn't loaded so there you go.
That is correct. However some people have a literal heart attack if you don't prove it or get your finger anywhere near the trigger, even on an unloaded gun lol
I empathize. The burden of carrying around a few ziplock baggies is pretty much like hauling a piano around on your back.
You dont really need the ziplocks...
JERRY CANs are the perfect thing
I cut mine upside down so I've also got a makeshift shower / handwashing bin
I have not tried one, do they fit?
You missed sandflies, midges, centipedes, scorpions, snails, cane toads… lol. I’m in central Queensland Aust so your content applies here. Good stuff.
Yep all of that stuff. Hi to you in Australia!
I Miss seeing your videos Matt , hope everything is going well, times are tough right now I hope your doing well 🤗
Thanks! I am all good, just taking a break from CZcams. I am going to do a video about why I am taking a break soon...
👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
I used to hammock camp by kayak in FL to these islands and one thing great about this is that you cal also greatly lengthen the distance between 2 trees you can attach to.
Yes these are an easy solution
Think it will work with a cc3 rail on a 1911 from recovery tactical i have a few handguns and don't want to spend 70$ on there one fir holster
Yes. It works great on my Beretta 92FS with a rail...
I never thought of drinking the liquid Also I always put mine in the microwave over for 1 minute to heat it up I do put hot sauce on mine as well but never thought of doing the BBQ sauce
There are lots of ways to eat them
I completely agree. What a terrific revolver
They are great guns
Enjoy great fun.
It is!
Yes, that's a nice find. Were you going to tell us Why Everyone Should Own one?
Yeah because they are so good lol
Maybe just zip tie the top of the belt enclosure and the top pull loop together. The zip tie would also take up any slack at the top of the belt.
There are a few ways to do it, you just have to find the one that you like...
Ive been using alice stuff for 3 years now and let me tell you that its one of the greatest purchases i have ever made, when i travel far far away from home or i go throught the woods this is what im gonna be using, because its something that i know how to use and that its strong and dependable even if im missing some parts of the kit i still have the basics, thank you for this video sir, take care
Thanks! I love this stuff, you can get tons of pouches for next to nothing and it is bomb proof...
Hi! How long does the cabbage palm cordage last?
I have not done a test but it lasts surprisingly long
I only use one of these magazine pouches because I can use the grenade holders for a hatchet and an extra tourniquet, otherwise it's a 200rd SAW pouch or 2 qt canteen cover for carrying multiple magazines MACV-SOG style.
Yep, all of them are very versatile
Kinda wondering instead of scrunching the molle into the alice clip maybe loop some 550 cord to hold the clip in place.
You could do that also. Or use some zip ties...
I can think of plenty of replacements for ammo. Unless you are going into combat
This is just one setup for the ALICE system
Lardass under a lean to … I’m with you Brother
Good description lol
I want to trade my Jeep in for a 4runner so bad but it's hard doing it after I sank over 20k into it lol. Constant problems though, getting expensive. Have you ever tried the mosquito lagoon camping? Thinking about trying that out when it cools down.
I almost got a Jeep before I got the 4runner, glad I didn't. No I have never tried it up there but might when it cools off...
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival Yeah, you made the right choice. Definitely waiting for the cool days again before camping, the lagoon has some good spots that you can reserve. vids on it on here if you're interested in looking into it. Figured I'd ask, trying to get to know the area better. Just got into fishing and kayaking out here.
Cold soaking ramen noodles for 20 minutes makes them grow three times bigger then cooking under 3 minutes. I like it better this way.
It really worked pretty well! I am definitely gonna do it again...
I have that same setup without having seen this until today. I use it as a go belt for ho,e defense by including ar15 mag holders.
The old school ALICE stuff still works great!
Thank you...from Hawaii. 🌴
No problem!
We call Vienna sausages MONKEY PETERS
That's what that pouch is for wow radio I never thought of that
Yeah, the inside one.
What a cool idea instead of it rolling over
Thanks!
My same pack someone threw away what a happy day dumpster diving had the pack 10 years like new still use every trip fishing hunting camping traveling its my go to suitcase all the time Joey Louisiana
Nice!
Florida man here, looking to buy an Alice pack. Subscribed as well.
Thanks! Lots of them around...
greetings from germany
Greetings!
why the tent pegs orange?
They are like that from the factory...
Im gonna rejet the carburetor on mine so i dont have to clean this as much!
Try to run non ethanol gas in it, that helps also
@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival that's all I run and it still does it, even with the good spark plug
@@MrWhitehat215 Damn I hate that
With all the sodium they have already I'm personally hesitant when it comes to adding topping. I like them straight or on a piece of bread like a hot dog. Slap a little mayo on that bad boy.
That works also!
The older section where you made your door looks to have had a repair done. Very professional looking. Wonder if it was done by the military or civilian? Great video. Had me sweating just watching you!
Well done ! Thanks.
Thanks! It works great
Your Level 1 and possibly your level 2 kit are too basic as it doesn't account for an accident as you have insufficient SURVIVAL gear. A poncho provides limited coverage as a tarp from wind, cold, cold wind, rain, snow and critters and uncomfortably hot in Summer. Ponchos get caught on branches, can be damaged and are a nuisance when windy. A large sized tarp or tent is practical along with rain jacket or anorak and rain pants, providing additional warmth during cold weather. You have no survival signaling gear depending on your cellphone alone. Planning a day hike should consider locations of water sources along the intended path. Your canteen is your only support. It should cover at least your normal near daily consumption unless proximity to water is available during your hike along with means to boil or water purification tablets. During cold/Winter, sleeping on bare, wet or snowy ground will withdraw your body heat. Access to pine or spruce bows or dry leaves might do in a pinch along with a fire for attention, warmth and fear for animals. My gear includes my DIY Dyneema 4.05 ounce tent and heat reflective, breathable, wind and water resistant/proofed anorak, over-pants and my DIY integrated survival device including whistle, compass, water purification tablets, ferro cerium rod, tinder, diamond knife/fish hook sharpener and survival mirror, Victorinox device, Boker folding knife and 2 red flares. My Mora batoning knife sits horizontally on my belt for lack of interfering with my leg interupting my concentration and reducing my speed. Any physical leg interference reduces one's speed, comfort and concentration as do cargo pants having to lift the weight within and limit the pants circumference generating leg friction. I've experienced survival, limping out of the wilderness with three torn ligaments. I had to relearn how to walk. While hiking with two others, one slipped and tore a number of ligaments in his knee. I helped lock down his leg with a pair of tree limbs and rope. It took us about 45 minutes to get him out. We were lucky as we were only about 15 minutes into the hike. Accidents do happen and are normal occurances. Fortunately, I studied survival skills prior to hiking. I have over 55 years of hiking experience. My gear covers a lot of potential survival scenarios which is what hiking alone is all about. It's not just a walk in the park. Based on watching innumerable hiking videos showing their hiking and thru-hiking gear, it's easy to see that a walk in the park is what they think it is.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I didnt clean the one on mine but replaced it, and now Ill try cleaning the original! You saved my ass come this winter! Question, I wasnt able to get my float bowl apart. It didnt come apart easily like in the video. Suggestions?
It is probably just stuck. Try cleaning it with some carb cleaner...
Can the high speed jet fall out?
No it is pressed in...
I love the (ground pounder) just what I was looking for to use with the pup tent. Thank you very much for your help and hard work
No problem! It works great...
Great stuff man, if you like the modularity of alice wait till you hear about molle
Thanks! I have them both lol
Looks to me to be a potential forest fire hazard.
It is not lol
Great Video ! Maybe add a Chest Bag that has the Nav Kit ! And a light First Aid Kit for non-trama wounds ! Remember The Ten Essentials by The Seattle Mountaineers ! tjl
Thanks!
That looks crustier than my socks when I was 14.
A suggestion would be at least a tourniquet if not an individual IFAC on your level 1. One really nasty fall or violent encounter (animals or people) may give you more holes than what you walked in with.
True...
You don't even need salt, though I highly recommend it
The salt makes it a little better but you are right you don't really need it...
This is great thanks! I might add: if you carry some chapstick in your go bag, rub some on that jute ball and it’ll burn even longer. Or, it’ll even ignite if it’s wet. Works for the cherry chapstick one at least.
Thanks! Anything but the strawberry chap stick, that is my favorite lol
Each soldier gets 1 half, that's why it's called a "Shelter Half" and you build it with a buddy, it's a 2-man tent.
Exactly right. It is a little heavy when you carry both halves...
That level 1 setup would be much more comfortable if you walking any distance with a Y harness. Especially with that pistol on there and water in that canteen.
It would, which is why I have a Y harness for it...
There's some great ideas there. Have you tried any set ups with longer poles using the shelter halves as you would a traditional tarp to make a shelter you can stand under? I've not had chance to experiment yet to see if the triangular ends would be useful or just get in the way.
Thanks! No I have not experimented with longer poles just for the sake of using the stock ones in different set ups, but it is a novel idea!
Is that a home made stove?
Yes it is. I have a video on it also. Works great...
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival it sure does. I'll search that video. Thanks.
this was how i survived my parents' divorce to this day i still use vienna sausage
Lol I grew up on these things....
