  • The original super shelters components are clear plastic sheeting and a Mylar space blanket or tube tent. Those materials are good for one trip, possibly two. I've developed a heavy duty reusable super shelter that even converts to a tarp, tent, lean to baker style tent. We have coffee then I sleep in the super shelter and Nick sleeps in his hammock.

    Its Friday, it's late November , theres 2 Georgians hiking in the woods in the dark so they can have a coffee. They bring along a portable, collapsible, convertible shelter ( who's design was sparked by a legendary Canadian)so they can have one now and rest comfortably then have another in the morning( they dont show it but I'm betting they also have some grits, bacon, and or corn bread mix too). To some its absurd, to the rest of us it's another fabulous Friday with Dave and Nick. Great looking design, I think a tweak might be to have the sides permanently attached keeping the Baker Tent design. It will allow the plastic front to be attached and be relatively protected and allow more height inside so there are no hunchback issues. I know Nick prefers a shelter with a floor, but the enviroment you need a super shelter in isnt high season for mosquitoes, gnats, or spiders. Thanks Boys, I needed a campfire chat 😎, appreciate the invitation. PS if you split the load a bit , I bet you could incorporate this unit with your portable windbreak/ fire reflector that you sewed up a couple years ago.

    Good to see that Alice Bow Saw pack again. I love the concept of using gear for multiple purposes, like a saw for a frame. I'd definitely enjoy seeing some more concepts like this if you can think of any. I've been experimenting with folding chairs for frames, foam mats for padding and ponchos for bivi bags/bed rolls. I've found that if you balance these ideas right with your set up it can save a lot of weight and also make the ruck more comfortable to carry, but it takes a bit of planning and testing.

    @peterkinberger9741 Před 2 lety +4

    David, when you see an upright rotted standing tree, observe it for bees especially around the base and up about two feet. Those trees are often homes for honeybees, meaning, wild honey and bees that will chase you for up to an hour. That is how long they stay angry. They will give chase up to a quarter of a mile, generally. Africanized bees are far worse and will chase you far longer. If you run into a tree that has honey local beekeeper can retrieve it for you while he attempts to capture the queen. You could start a smoky fire close to the tree making certain the prevailing winds and breezes smoke the tree. The bees will become more docile and you might be able to remove the honey sac yourself. I always watch trees of that nature and generally leave them alone until after camping, then I observe , then I push the tree until it breaks as close to the base as possible. If there are bees and or honey, I call a beekeeper and he will do what is necessary. Usually there is pounds of honey in those spots. I like it when bees are in the vicinity because an animal creeping at night could do something to get the bees riled up and he will make noises or run off from the bees. I don't camp right up on them, I give them their space but I make sure my site is safe from rotted trees and overhead limbs that are caught up in branches. I also look for dead branches still attached to the trees. I am sure you know the drill. All it takes is one little wild snipe to run straight up the tree and cause a dead limb to break away from the tree and he won't holler " heads up " ! Later ! Oh by the way this video was great in terms of innovation !

    Hey Guys. I've been patiently waiting for another video. I like your shelter, but if you made it longer, you could raise the back a bit so that you're not forced to sit forward like Nick was. I think the added weight would be worth it. Have you used your home-made sleeping pad lately? I loved that video. I've not been able to find the foam material that you used. But that was such an awesome project. I've found that by hanging a Coleman lantern above my camp, the light won't be in my eyes. It would work well for your camera light. I like your bowsaw frame. Another brilliant Dave idea. Keep up the good work you two and I'm looking forward to the next video.

    Love the shelter. What if you used Velcro on the edges of the tarp, then put the other side on the end pieces so you could put them anywhere along the edge? Just a thought. Thanks for letting us in on your adventures.

      THANKS for a great suggestion! I picked up on the welding blanket/Reflex idea from Real Big Monkey's earlier videos and made my own copy. With YOUR Velcro hack, we don't need to commit to one position or another for the sides. I would line those panels with Reflex as well. Anyone taking this kit isn't going to be hiking far in. NEXT, we need to find a work-around for shaping the sides to work with different tarp slopes. Maybe Velcro again? We could work the Velcro to vary the edge slopes, rolling any excess up and fastening it out of the way as necessary.

    @hammerhound168 Před 2 lety +3

    Inventive as always Dave. Did you make the floor insulated ? This would also make a great A-frame with floor shelter ( nice and cozy). I like the adaptability of loose side panels. If you make them fit one configuration they will be unsuited for others. 6lb is reasonable for a winter shelter system ( looks like a 3 season shelter ,autumn, winter, spring for at least the lower 48 states ). Surprised you did not include you insulated reflective ground sheet with this setup. You Need to get a gallon Stanley thermos of coffee for Nick ( make him carry it). Otherwise build fire first thing and make coffee, It seems to make him happy. He might even help clean the workshop for coffee. Looks like you could have used your fire reflector / wind screen too. With all three of those items you have invented , I dub it the Pearson Adaptable Shelter Systems. Hope you had great thanksgiving . I am looking forward to the Next One , LOL (your Vid also).

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I didn't insulate the floor, it's just double layered. I figured if it was insulated it would be way too bulky to fold. I do have my reflective pad I can add along with my fire wall and that other reflective tarp I made. I love that PASS name! Take care and thanks for watching

Needless to say my Dad and the others around got a good laugh when the top snapped off and put me on the ground. Where's the love man!
