Nicely done! You might also try a Swedish Wedge configuration. Similar to plowpoint in simplicity but more versatile and able to button down. Stake out the down-wind side of tarp with two stakes. Find the center of the opposite side and suspend it via line to a tree or walking stick. Creates a triangle shape. Sides can be pinned down in rainy weather or flipped up to whatever height desired. I can deploy this in 90 seconds if caught by a shower.
Im familiar making upside-down fires. I know how too make a Dakota fire. But I have a question. Being low visibility won't be a concern too much too me. But making a Dakota fire in bad weather close too my tarp sounds smart. But how good are they keeping you warm? I'll assume wood burns real quick this way.
@@alantenta9825 I used the half circle of rocks with my upside-down fire. It draws the smoke too the rocks. Then the rocks radiate heat and no rocks in the front acts like a wind tunnel.
Just finished watching season 10 of alone, I was rooting for you and so happy when you won🎉 I do believe your dad had a part in this 🙏
Thank you! I agree; the owl experience was wild.🙂
Short, sweet, and to the point. Awesome job
Thanks so much!
Love listening to you explain things, by keeping it simple you make the outdoors seem accessible to everyone :)
Thanks! Great comment! I appreciate it.😊
Thanks for showing and how to tie the different knots. I forgot about the no slip truckers knot.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good instruction video. Thanks Al.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

Not the best; the design sends the heat straight up. They are great for low smoke and actually don’t use much wood.
@@alantenta9825 Makes perfect sense. Ty. I wonder making a small wall of rocks halfway around it would radiate heat.
Definitely ! @@shaynehawkins713

Have you made a video on CZcams remaking the teepee you lived in during season 10?
I want to, but I can’t cut live trees for the poles. Where I have seen a lot of dead standing trees I could cut, there is no moss….
@@alantenta9825 Congratulations on the win! The teepee looked nice.
