Homemade Camo Tent For Stealth Or Bug Out And Fire Pit Breakfast

- I wanted a camouflage tent but everything I found was cheap looking thin tents so I decided to just make my own out of heavy Real Tree Hardwoods material. It's eight feet long but can be bunched up for a shorter length and the bonus to that is when bunched up it breaks up the smooth surface of the tent further enhancing the camouflage effect. We also cook up some conecuh sausage, eggs and coffee
Nick is lucky to have such a cool dad to do adventure outings with. My dad was a cool outdoorsman, and he & I did all kinds of camping and fishing together. I was 30 when I lost my dad. I am 50 now & can't believe it's been 20 years he has been gone. Now, I do everything in the outdoors alone. Great video Dave.
We are very lucky to have each other. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. We should cherish every minute spent with family. Take care and thanks for watching
My dad's around but the chances of him doing something like this with me are next to nil.

Just love the fact that you spend so much time with nick in the woods. It's awesome seeing you two bond and do things together. Hopefully you will inspire other dads to do these things more with their kids that's what kids today need the most. Keep it up dave you truly bless me with your videos!!
Thanks! I'm glad you like what all we do. The best times in life is spent with Nick.
So relaxing watching....I almost feel like I'm there too.😊
Still thrilled when you post a new video. Always living vicariously through you and Nick. Love the tent.
Fantastic to hear that Valerie and we are glad you liked it!
I’m surprised that some camping company hasn’t hired you for their R&D department.
Now that would be cool!
That makes so much sense it’s scary!
Deep woods MacGuyver. 👍
It's nice to see Nick and you doing your thing together again. The tent looks great!
Thanks Brad!
That’s a really great idea Your like the mad scientist of bush craft
Thanks Miguel! I've got lots more experimenting I want to do
Oh he is, Miguel!!! I’ve been watching him for almost 3 years
He is an amazing guy!!!

At 13:22 , looking at the tent I noticed it blended in very well . You could use those loops for adding limbs and foliage . Loops on the inside can be used to run some cordage from the ridge line areas to the ground and tied to a stake to add support so it doesn't sag as much from rain and wind , like a frame . The loops on top will also keep the tarp from blowing upwards and you could run a couple of lines on the outside from ridge line to ground. i use 4 ridge lines , one for the top of the tarp and three inside for hanging things . I use half hitches on each end by the tree to draw the lines together to make it more like one line , then add the other lines . It really helps in draining water and helps with sagging . It's just a frame made from rope and stakes and I can use sticks on the inside for additional support . Oh those thingys for women's hair are called hair bands , they are useful and useless , as they wear out and break and don't last long . Later gator , Hand Salute
Good comments!
The real tree is some good camo. The tent is nice and with a good deal of space, even better if you pull out the sides. You guys stay safe.
Thanks ! We are glad you liked it. I've always loved Realtree and never understood why it wasn't used before. Take care and thanks for watching
Hey , glad to see you're up and kickin' around in the woods. Man I found a really great deal . I went to Goodwill looking for a small grill and some small stainless steel pots for making charcoal . Well low and behold , sitting on a rack were two digital woodland pattern camo sleeping bags , light weight , for $5 each . So I grabbed them , for use to lay on the ground when deer hunting . Well I got home , looked at them and they were in new shape , no tears , no stains , no worn out areas , zippers are good , no discoloring and no odors . Next I looked them up on the internet and they are made by Wiggy's . Turns out they are each $250.00 super light zero degree mummy bags with a boat foot instead of a box foot . They weigh 4 pounds each , which most goose down bags rated for zero degrees weigh or close to it . The bag has a draw string for adjusting the hood and chest area and a tube that runs along the zipper to keep out drafts . REAL GOOD Quality Zippers that work very smoothly . I came across a fantastic deal . I have no doubt that i could put one inside the other and be comfortable in 30 below temps . I washed them and slept in one in 48 degrees , I sweated . Wiggy's has this bag on sale . I think they are a very good quality . Wiggy's also has a system for adding a over bag system , like a ground bivy setup which , when added , will handle temps lower than zero, They also have some light weight gear that can be used in the artic and they also make gear for special forces . They have been in business for over 30 years and I can't believe I've never herd of them , you learn something new everyday . . Check them out , I'm tuning back to watching the video . Hand Salute
Oh I've known about Wiggys for years! And you definitely got the best Goodwill score I've ever heard of!
Your episodes are always appreciated Dave. We have many more rocks in my neck of the woods than sticks. I love the woods where you camp and do your videos, take care my friend
Thank you Bill!
Beyond a doubt, the FIRST time I've seen someone wear a tent. Actually, it looked better than some of the goofy things they show at "fashion shows." It's fun watching you two out there together having fun. You are a fortunate man to be able to spend this time with your son. You guys take care, be safe, and keep breathin'.
Thanks Brother, we are glad you liked it! The best part of life is us hanging out together
Wait a minute, I need to get something to eat first, before watching this one! 😀
Only someone like you who’s truly passionate about the outdoors could come up with such great ideas and recipes. 👏🏻👍🏻
Don’t ever stop making these wonderful videos, my friend.
Thank you my friend and lots more ideas and creations in the works!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 : 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻😀
I was awakened at 4 AM out here in Northern California by some big winds. I thought, as long as I’m awake, let’s see if reallybigmonkey1 has posted yet. Sure enough, you had. Enjoyed the video as I always do. As you and Nick were preparing your breakfast I realized how hungry I was so I made myself some oatmeal. I greatly appreciate how much time you and your son spend together doing quality activities. Those are memories I wish I had with my father from my childhood/younger-days. -Carl
Enjoy your morning Carl and We are glad you liked it. Nothing beats father son time. Thanks for watching
Best intro ever...."hey everybody". I got my toddler to say it all the time 😁
Lol, Awesome!
Your toddler! That's why yah gotta be careful with what you say in front of da kids!
I love you accent so much! It's great to see a father and son enjoying quality time in a beautiful space, you do make me laugh, some of the things you come out with, Dad: "natures paper towels" Son: "errr, I don't think thats how it works, I don't think thats how you get salmonella off your hands" classic! Glad you both survived to tell the tale
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. When Nick comes along I always have the best time! Thanks for watching
My Italian friend Pagano from Da Bronx made Creamy Italian Dressing with raw eggs. We have all been programmed to fear everything, no context or filters. The eggs are not likely to kill you.
And the first Annual Nick award goes to "Shelter"! Take a bow shelter (and Nick)! Love you Nick!
Lol, thanks Steve!
Having spent quite a bit of time "hiding" in places along the Appalachian Trail in spots that were not "approved" by the DNR, I've found that keeping my set up low to the ground works best. Good old Trebark first pattern camo has always been my favorite regardless of the season. They ain't caught me yet.
Sounds good Paul
WOW: watching Nick grow up! He has just turned a corner and looks and speaks like a CZcams Pro.
Nick said Thanks James!
Dave I really enjoy your Channel . I’m a old machinist . 73 years old . Like all old machinists I still have equipment in my shop . I weld and fabricate like you do . I live in the Birmingham Alabama area. Not far from you .
I love to get out in the woods with my Golden Retriever Heidi. Been watching you for about a year now and you have made our hikes much more rewarding. I did get a Ontario sp8 , a mora black , a Bahco Laplander a fero rod and I made me a break down buck saw . Just today we made a day trip and made a fire and fixed lunch . Plenty of fat wood here . Fire was no problem.
I love how laid back you are and how you don’t edit out the mistakes because mistakes are a great learning tool
Thanks for making these videos
Fred born
Thanks Fred and it's always great to hear from a fellow machinist! We all think alike and we all love to make things rather than buy them. I'm glad you like the videos. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother
Loving that tent. Much roomier than i thought it would be. The sound of that sausage sizzling...mmm. Thanks for sharing,keep up the good work!
From the outside and on video, it doesnt look that big but at 8 feet long its roomy! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Thanks guys! I always learn alot from you! You guys enjoy life!! Peace to all....💜💙💜
Fantastic to hear that Kandi and thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 You betcha! Enjoy your weekend!
"Nick, we got mud all over everything." Dave, that pretty much describes my entire Scouting experience when I was a boy! It seemed like every time the troop went out it was either wet, cold or both.
Lol, I hear ya Terry!
Great job on the tent. Blends into the environment so well. Just have to be sure not to loose it out there!😂😂😂
Thanks Sarah, I'm glad you liked it. I'm hoping to experiment a lot more with the camo capabilities of this
Morning boys. Loved the tent. I know Nick was ready for that coffee. Good to see you both, nice video.
Morning and we are glad you liked it!
Love the "bug out" application, you could do a whole series that pertains to that subject.
Thanks Guy! For a bug out video I'm thinking I'd have to film separate ones for separate climate/environment situations
Cut a OAK LEAF 🍁 🍂 PATERN Just spray brown on that repeated dark area on the tent.
Good thinking!
A tent as an emergency jacket!! You have added fashion designer to your many outdoor skills. A fun video as always.
Lol! Yep and I'm glad you liked it John!
Great set up! Way to get out. I do these things with my kids. I never had a chance with my dad cause he and my mother worked 2 jobs and I spent most my time alone. My dad and I hate each other. Very cool to see you taking care of Nick and involving him in your life. Breakfast looks great too.😃🍺🤙🔥
Thanks Johnny, we are glad you liked it. I'm sorry to hear about the relationship between you and your dad. But great to hear you do these things with your kids!
Bigfoot is the master of stealth Dave. You’re not gonna fool him that easily.
Oh I know he's not easily fooled. Just think tho, what's better a bright red, yellow or blue nylon tent or my camo tent with branches laying all over it?
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Try bringing an extra plate and setting a place for him when you cook Dave. As a young boy growing up in the back woods of Central Mississippi, we had a Bigfoot who would occasionally join us for Sunday dinner. A nice enough critter, but he didn’t smell too good.
@@lapicker1010 lol, cmon now.
@@lapicker1010 i hope he didn't have to use your bathroom!
*lapicker* I was thinking that Bigfoot's sense of smell probably won't allow him to be fooled. I doubt he only depends on sense of sight😏 But "normal people" ? Dave's got the right idea👍
Really cool shelter idea! The comic relief in this video is really what I needed after a long week of wondering if God hates me!😂
I'm glad you liked it! Ah God doesn't hate anyone, we just live in a depressing time. Take care my friend
@@Reallybigmonkey1 G-d is the definition of Good, and mercy, kindness. He is good and does good, only in this world we do not always see or understand. Yet, we are given the gift of free will !
Thank God that this man is law abiding, imagine if he’d use that mind for evil instead of good and wholesome stuff👌🏻
Lol! Thanks man!
I had a several sentences in a comment last night for this video. Got so tired I forgot to click the "Comment" button. Most of the comments related to something your were doing during the video. Shortly thereafter you commented the same thing I had written. It was rather amazing...great minds, etc. The one comment I made that you didn't follow up was that you should have left an airgap at the end of the pit to allow more air under the pan. I greatly enjoyed the video, got me to thinking of things I don't normally think about and you help me enjoy life. Just finished up a 12 year project today. Started 12 years ago, got 98% complete and then tried several times to complete it but my wife had other things that were higher priority. Finished them almost in time for her birthday. Physical problems caused a few changes in plans also. Now I think I can tackle my camper and get ready for the woods this summer. Thank you for your encouragement.
Fantastic to hear we think alike and your project will soon be done!
What's up Dave? In the words of Muhammad Ali,"You're a Baaad Man." That's cold, Dude. That's really tight. I see you really love what you do, so keep on doing it. Peace!!!!
Thanks Michael! We are glad you liked it Brother!
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
Thanks and I'm glad you liked it my friend!
It's so great seeing you guys outdooring together, I have 3 son's and wasn't fortunate enough to teach them bushcrafting, I really enjoy watching you guys. Stay in the bush man.
We are glad you liked it Phillip. I'm definitely lucky to have my kid do this stuff with me. A lot of kids just aren't interested in the outdoors. Thanks for watching brother
I love to see both of you up to your slapstick! It brings me joy to see a father and son having so much fun together! Love the tent set up and the fire pit! God Bless you both!
Thanks! We are glad you liked it and what all we do. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too MsRegina
Nick loves the camp cooking and camp coffee. He lights up when you mention either. Women call those pony Os we call them ranger bands. They're in some of my kits too. My favorite folding shovel is my Glock shovel.
Nick demands coffee on outings. Lol. Take care and thanks for watching Keith
Excellent, time to kick back and hang with the lads.
Thanks and enjoy!
It's been a year. 2nd annual Nick award. I rewatch your videos because they make me feel good. You are not trying to take over the government or threaten my Mom (she died 18 years ago). It tickles me to see you and Nick doing stuff together. Like you bro, do stuff together while you can...my Mom taught me how to can tomatoes. :) You taught me about inflatable kayaks. Peace brother.
We are just trying to spread the cheer and have fun! Take care and thanks for watching brother
Great to see father and son having fun👍👍👍
We have the best times together!
THANKS DAVID & NICK WE MADE IT THRU THE WINTER STORM IN HOUSTON,TEXAS.❤🛐🕎✡👍🇺🇸
Great to hear that Mark, thanks for watching
Hair elastics are ALWAYS in my kits 🤣 not for my hair either.. they’re 10x better than rubber bands and they make a thick hair type that are even more indestructible 👍
Cool to hear that! I just recently realized how durable and useful they are
@@deuteronomy3162 lol.. I keep hair ties and those little metal binder clips in all my kits.. the 2 of them can be macgyver’d into dozens of little widgets 😁😁 tiny, inexpensive, and multi purpose! Can’t go wrong!
@@deuteronomy3162 lol .. my boyfriend loves to brag that his GF has more knives than any guy he knows and that he’s all set when the zombie apocalypse happens because his GF has the gear, preps and the know how to back it up 🤣🤣 Good fun!
That a boy Nick with the 1 liners. Show dad how to set one up.that will get a million plus views. 👍🔥⛺🤗
I may make him do that! Thanks for watching
Nice shelter and loved that breakfast and coffee. I think Nick was enjoying it the most.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Nick lives for coffee. Lol. Thanks for watching
Hello David and Nick, thanks for taking me along and for sharing: looks like a great tent you made, and a great day out in the woods. Greetings, Michael
You are very welcome Michael and I'm glad you liked the tent!
Good morning y’all. Awesome video to end the night. I work nightshift in the oilfield. That breakfast sure looked good. Till next time.
Good morning Steve and we are glad you liked it brother!
Thank you Dave and Nick , another great video of you two spending time in the woods 👍👍
You are very welcome and we are glad you liked it!
Y'all are crazy, my husband and I just love y'all. We can hardly wait for your next video. Keep up the great work. Y'all make a wonderful team.
Lol! Thanks Sharon and we are glad you like what all we do!
Sounds great! I love your home made stuff! 👍
Thanks Ian!
Really cool tent. I've been toying with a DIY tent to sew. Hey Dave, from all I can see you're a good dad. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Mark! Being a dad is the funnest job on earth
Well , I can always say that this channel is a blast to watch. You two together is a blast . You are the first man I know that invented a tent that you can wear , when its time to go to bed , you just lay down 😂 you always have grate ideas Dave and every time I watch your videos it puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh too. You always make my day when you have a video for us to watch. Thanks for all the videos ,Past, present and future , I know for a fact, I’ll be right here to watch and learn. Thanks again, have a grate week! See you in the next one too 👍
I'm glad you liked this one and the others Johnny! Support from friends like you are what keeps me going. Thanks for watching brother
Nice to hear that Red's Rings were out in the Woods again. 😉
Reds Rings always have a place at my camp
I want to buy 10-12 foot round water troughs. Weld them together for a hidden water proof emergency shelter. Not only to hide from enemies, but Tornadoes 🌪.
Sounds like a good idea
I’d like to hear more about your water trough idea
Dave is wearing his TENT...he must have been inspired by watching turtles.....LOL...great idea.
Lol!
I like the tent design and set up and good breakfast. Thanks Dave and Nick.
Thanks! We are glad you liked it
Yes I had fun. That camo blended in well in that environment. Nice tent. Looking forward to the next video. You and Nick made me wanna go to the bush and cook up some eggs and sausage. Good idea on the fire pit. Alan R.
Great to hear that Alan and We are glad you liked it. Get outdoors any chance you can. Thanks for watching
Hey David , Though I'd let you know I'm still watching .Hope you and Nick are doing fine. Tell your dad I said hello. Keep that Paper Mill running
Awesome hearing from ya man! We are keeping the place running and Dad is still getting around well. Thanks for stopping by Brother
love it when you are with your son, great job on the tent! you are awesome! great design features! gonna print out a pattern for us? where did you get the floor material?
Thanks Earl! I'm glad you liked it Brother. I found two 3X Pyrolon coveralls at a flea market and was able to cut them up into large enough pieces to make this floor. Thanks for watching brother
@@Reallybigmonkey1 thanks man, God bless you! how do you ever have time for it all! flee markets too, sewing, camping, hiking, etc.....
@@earlschultz7880 I sleep very little, lol. May God bless you too brother
Dave you are an excellent designer of outdoor living quarters,and Nick you make an excellent filmer of Dad's projects.I think the velcro or zippers on the end would make it easier in the dark getting in and out ,plus you wouldn't be stepping on them in the dark...ouch.Well thanks for another dandy video and we will be watching for your next adventure.
Thanks Dennis
That shovel is very good. Dutch army uses that. I never broke one! Thanks for the video again Dave & nick! 👍😁
Great to hear that and we glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome tent looks super stealthy, always cool to see the dynamic duo having fun in the woods. Great video with great ideas to modify the tent. Eggs and sausage ... yum !!!
Thanks Tim! We are glad you liked it all. I've got several other mods for the tent coming up
Add VELCRO to the ends of your tent ⛺️ to close, making it water/ wind proof too.
I'm probably going to do that
You look like you're a being a model parading a new design. Made me laugh.
Lol!
Mr. Pearson, We have seen you create and manufacture some of the most unique products to fit your needs for your adventures. As a fellow do it yourselfer; may I suggest with the skill and talent you clearly have - that you create your own collapsible shovel.
That's a good idea for a project! I'll put some thought into it
I really love your videos ,I like the hands on, everyone of your videos is an inspiration ,thank you
Thanks Zak!
You showed one of the reasons I'm not crazy about aluminum cookware. It burns too easily. Cast iron is way better but you have to decide if the weight is more of a problem than burning the food
Stanley has a fry pan with a thick bottom that's terrific . I've had it about 2 years now, and won't leave home without it . It's still heavy, but only about half the weight of cast iron.
Carbon steel is a good compromise.
Yep, you can either have lightweight or good, not both in most cases
When you wrapped that tent around yourself as an extra layer I said to myself "yep, this is going to be a good one." That's a very clever design and I agree, adding some loops to pull out the sides would be great, especially if the wind picked up even more or it started raining. The overhang/porch is great too. I'm curious what you use to keep the seams water tight or if maybe that's not a concern with this material. Thanks as always.
I'm glad you liked it Rob! Hopefully the mods will be just as cool. I usually smear silicone caulk on the back side of all seams. Every stitches needle hole leaves a place for water to get in. Take care and thanks for watching
Still watching it, gotta say one of my favorite channels. Both of you rise to the occasion. So if you supported your tent from a ridge pole it might be a different animal but the pole needs to be secure (crushing injuries bad). Another cool thing about your tent is you could hang an inner liner from the inside ridge loops and still have loops on the inside of that. You are all over it. Props to you and Nick.
Thanks! We are glad you like the channel that much! Good ideas but I really like the idea behind the inner liner!
Love all the videos but really like the homemade tent ones. So much thought and engineering, simply outstanding. Thank you Nick and David.
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you like them. All the homemade stuff is my favorite to film
Good morning Dave! Perfect timing! 😁😁
This is great.. I’ve been working on a similar project for a while now.. I’ve got some really amazing camo fabrics collected, I am still working on designs.. I might have to make 2 different ones at this point 🤣
Always appreciate seeing your ideas Hon, sometimes we’re on a very similar page, but I can’t weld! Lol
ATB
Good morning Ruth and I'm glad you liked it! I think for true stealth you also have to design in a weird shape to cover the outline/shape of the tent. Here, I made mine very long with extra loops so I can either bunch it up of used multiple sideways ridge lines to break up the weird shape. It would be cool to put your future tent on video!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I definitely will share when it’s worked out! .. I have a few things on stealth I’m tweaking, for sneaky camping trips 😜lol ..
I was working on my baby jogger stroller into off road gear carrying modifications too, and I will share those eventually 😬..
..everything is on hold until I get a health issue resolved, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to finish things by summer.. it’s a good motivation for staying positive and focused on the future, I’ve hated missing out on my time in the woods 😁😁lol.. so I’ll be chomping at the bit as soon as I can go out to play! .. thanks for sharing all you do, as always!!

Lol, I'm glad you liked it!
Another awesome video Dave. You are so inspiring! I bought a Singer Heavy Duty Model 4432 because watching you sew with your Singer Heavy Duty (I think you have a different model though) showed me I could sew different projects like you. I am currently working on a spice pouch to use while cooking in the woods. My next project is an oiled canvas tarp. Still figuring out the best dimensions for the tarp. It will be a square tarp with a lot of tie outs using webbing so it can be set up in many configurations. Thanks for the videos Dave and Nick!
I'm glad you liked the video and awesome you got that sewing machine! It's gonna open a whole new whole of exciting projects you never dreamed of!
Always a treat to watch these videos. Can't wait for the next one in line. Be safe. Guy Speight
I'm glad you liked it Guy and thanks for watching!
could make the loops different sizes and spacing, and the sides tapered to reduce straight lines.
Good ideas
So good to hear Nick's sarcastic comments again! LOL. Bigfoot just texted me and says he can see the ridge line but is enjoying the presentation anyway. 👍😉🇨🇦🌲👣
😂😂😂
Lol! Now Ill have to change it up to hide from Bigfoot. Thanks for watching Marian
Fine video Dave and Nick. Dave, you mentioned putting loops on the outdoor side of the tent. Those side loops would provide tie off points to give greater area inside the tent. Also, manipulating cordage through the outside loops would provide a means to stack brush and limbs for even more "camo effect". You really have a gift for making good camping gear. Someone needs to hire you as a consultant and spokesperson for a camping gear company. It is also great to see a father and son have fun together. GOD bless you both.
Thanks John, we are glad you liked it. I'm definitely adding them tie outs. Not only will paracord pull the sides out but I also thought I could use stakes to spread it out too. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too
Camo tent offers a fast and easy set up, versatile for many situations. Guy outs added would be a nice upgrade. Great to see Nick coming out from behind the camera, he seems to be in his element more and more. If you had some horses i would call you a real modern day Daniel Boone!
Happy trails & Thank you! I am already waiting for the next one...
Yep, it's quite simple to set up and I didn't really show all my ideas for the stealth set ups this is capable of. Nick's definitely doing much better in front of the camera. Take care and thanks for watching
The precooked looking sausages always weird me out, in the UK our sausages are raw minced pork in some sort of synthetic skin.
I looked on the package and these aren't precooked. I know what you mean about it being weird. I like cooking mine myself
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Surprising, they looked quite brown before they even hit the pan. Still you and Nick had some great Father/Son time and that's the main thing.
I buy Hilshire sausage, cut it into 1" lengths, cook on grille for a few then burn some barbq sauce on em umum good.
Have you bought a EMP device to protect your automobiles & home. There is a strong possibility our entire grid could go down.
That's one huge Faraday cage.
No I have not
Nothing says stealth like a huge column of smoke😂 Love the videos
Lol! I hear ya Robert
You're a genius when it comes to creating something useful out of nothing. I made a whole camp/kitchen /sink that hangs from a tree thanks to you.
Do you review items that you've inspired? I know that would make a great set of videos. The thing I'm most proud of is a cook set that includes a pizza oven. It took a propane torch and a ball peen hammer to make it. It's been to Ocala and the Everglades, and your videos are the reason why I made it.
Thanks John! I'm glad you like what all I do. Man your camp/kitchen sink sounds awesome! I love hearing about folks building stuff like that. As far as reviews I pretty much never review anything. I just make videos. Take care and thanks for watching brother
Being out in the woods as much as you’ve been, have you ever had any Bigfoot encounters? If so I would love to hear about it 🙏👍
As far as I know? I've not seen or heard a Bigfoot. Now I did have an unexplained experience that I can not explain. I told the story in this other video czcams.com/video/jeAI4Skc2p0/video.html
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Dave I was thinking of what could of happened that day and the only thing I could think of was a microburst went through there that day. Who knows. Microbursts can flip planes over they're very strong.
@@yellowdeer7163 may be possible but, that movement was concentrated and directional. It went up one tree, across the tree tops then down a different tree. Wouldn't a micro burst effect the entire area?
Yes we've decided we are sending Dave back in! Hair scrunchie and all.
That was a very interesting story about getting the heck out in the dark
That dolls spatula is halairious bigmonky ha ha ha
Lol, it's supposed to be a backpacker version
That is a great tent design. Once you get the sides set up to pull out more and zippers installed it will be awesome! Thank you for your thoughts of us folks here in Texas. Nick you did fine with the new tripod. Looking forward to the next episode of fun. Peace and freedom 🇺🇸
Thanks Bailey! We are glad you liked it. This thing is a work in progress for a while now! Thanks for watching
Always enjoy all of your cool gear and you and Nick's camp banter, thanks for all of your awesome videos, guys, I watch faithfully from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Fantastic to that Lane and we are glad you like the videos!
man you messed the eggs up thats it im unsubscribing lol . jokes . great time as always brother be sure to check that link out i think you will like that stuff now remember it was just a to show you fast grab link to show you what i was talking about might be able to find something like it for a better price or more of it for the same price if you look around .take care fellas
Lol! Thanks Brother
Another great video. Really like the new shelter. I think a zipper on the door flaps, and maybe across the porch lip would be a great idea. As always its great to see Nick along for the trip.
Thanks Matt, I'm glad you liked it. Im still trying to figure the best route on the ole door. Thanks for watching
Love the tent. I have enjoyed watching all your shelters. I really love the El Cheapo shelter with the fireplace. Keep them coming. Stay safe.
Thanks Charles! I'm glad you like them all. That El Cheapo is one of my favorites
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Have you ever made a collapsible tent stove? If you have can you point me to the video? I have been working on one for several years now but just can’t find a design I like. Thanks again for all you do. I have used several of your ideas with the Boy Scouts and they loved them. Almost forgot, I have a suggestion for your new tent. If you put some pockets inside near the top 1/3 on each side you could put a spreader bar. That might open up the tent enough. Just a suggestion.
Really cool tent brother, food always tastes better in the wood's. 👊💀
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Congratulations Dave, you have reached a point that no other outdoorsman has reached. You have brought shelter building into the “Bronze Age”...lol. Nice build. Thanks guys.
Lol! I'm glad you liked it Don!
Dave, love your design! I have a lot of similar material like you used for the sidewalls and doors and now I’ve got no excuse to not use it. I gotta find some of the floor material similar to what you have, but I’ve got a couple ideas. Awesome seeing you teaching the next generation. Stay safe and God bless.
Thanks John! I'm glad you liked it. Buying new materials is easy online but very very expensive. I've been lucky and found a lot of this stuff at flea markets and estate sales. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too
This was so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Very cool tent! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Beverly! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I had fun watching as always. You hit a home run with this tent and no
doubt you will take it to the next level with your improvement idea.
It was great being able to hear Nick’s comments you all work well together.
Thank you.
Thanks Ken! I'm glad you liked it and I have a lot of cool ideas I want to try on this! Thanks for watching brother
Dave, I enjoy the comaradre that you and Nick share, it adds so much character to your videos. You have some neat ideas and are definitely thinking outside the box when it's comes to doing things outdoors. I love how you mixed the camo fabric in the tent and that is a very cool tent. That Mossy Oak pattern looks a lot like Jim Crumleys old Trebark camo. You definitely have an awesome supply of equipment. Thanks for what you share, and I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks Brother! We are glad you liked it. Im wanting to experiment more in the future with different camos and even shapes of tents/shelters. Nick always makes it more fun. Thanks for watching
These tent designs just get better, howdy Nick and Dave from S.Ontario 😆😙😘
Howdy and We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing. Love this tent. Love the different ideas.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
Good Day .
Dave wearing tent like snake skin.
Fun for comments .
Always something usefully to learn it.
Lol, thanks for watching my friend
wow, what a beautiful tent! you put so much work in to it, what a great and functional design!
Thanks Shelby! I'm glad you liked it. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun too!
Now that's a tent where you would definitely need those flashing lanterns if you needed the toilet during the night! 😀. You'd never be able to find it again otherwise. I definitely think it needs side loops to help it spread more as well as a door closure system... zip or velcro.... otherwise it's just excellent.... that material is just awesome too! Of course, as usual, I ended up hungry watching you both eating sausage and egg's, so much so that I had a takeaway sausage and egg sandwich with my coffee this morning 😀😀😀. Always great watching you both around the fire and cooking.... not so great watching you both eating as I always end up hungry.... many thanks for another enthralling video from you both... stay safe and well 👍. Spencer
Thanks Spencer, I'm glad you liked it! I've got a lot more mods and ideas for this. I bet your sandwich was fantastic! Take care and thanks for watching
Brother Dave, you never cease to amaze! Excellent video my Friend! Thumbs-up ~John
Thank you Brother John!
Two legends in the woods doing what they love nothing more satisfying.
Thanks!
