Daves Dome, Backpackers Camp Table And Camo Panels
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 02. 2022
- Ultra light backpackers often use tents with no floors to save weight. Most are extremely expensive but I may have found a cheap alternative, a golf cart cover! This is my first test and I also show my backpacking table that also doubles as a pack stiffener. I also show an experimental camo panel for stealth in the woods. It's a lightweight easy to carry idea for viewing wildlife, hiding from people or maybe even trying to photograph Bigfoot.
Thanks Dave and Nick! I appreciate that you guys DON’T test everything first then do the video after you get it perfected. I like watching you guys try things that are a bit unorthodox. Outdoors people know that creativity is a skill that needs to be nurtured and practiced. I love watching and learning from the two of you.
We are glad you liked it Bill! The experimenting and creativity is half the fun!
The two biggest reasons you are the best outdoor channel on CZcams:
1. Knowledge and the skills to make and modify your own gear.
2. You aren’t selling out to the industry.
Please keep it up Dave. Such great content.
Thank you my friend! I love hearing that!
I want to Thank You guys for bringing some fun and laughter in to my life. A lot of these bush craft/ out door channels are way to serious.So keep up the good work,we do certainly appreciate it.
Thanks Randy! We are glad you like the way we do things. I figured if it ain't fun then why bother?
Glad to see Dave is properly dressed in Flecktarn camo.
I wished I had more Flectarn!
I laughed when Nick said he stole the neighbors golf cart cover. I like to imagine Dave goin around the neighborhood taking things to turn em into shelters or other gadgets
Lol! Don't give me any ideas!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 as long as U return em after use it ain't considered "stealing" UNLESS You get caught in the act...
@@tomcatt998 lol
My husband said get the dome tent poles with shock cords from an old one thrown away. It is reusing materials for holding up the shelter. We enjoyed this vid very much!
You and Nick are AWESOME together!
I have a pile of tent poles at home that I could experiment with and I might do that but, for now Im trying
to go with not carrying any kind of frame and making one on the spot. Its a work in progress. Im glad yall liked it Carolyn and Thanks for Watching
Thanks Dave, it's always a great start to a day when you publish a new video. :) I expect this video to be similar in at least some ways, to the "flat head" shelter design that showed and you spoke about a while back, and the top/junction point of that was very ingenious. I suspect that "Flat Head" is a cool and knowledgeable guy, and one of the people that helped to inspire the creation of your nickname. :) I look forward to watching the video later, and it was so nice to see a new video from you. _John_
I'm glad you liked it John! Flathead was definitely a brilliant man. His shelter frame was perfected. This is still under development. Lol. Take care and thanks for watching
Good stuff Dave and Nick ! Nature does not have straight edges, so they stand out. The army and marines have a hasty hooch set up for their tent. It utilizes the rainfly ( like your golf cart cover) , the bungee take down rods and webbing. The webbing is connected at center and crisscrosses, at the end of the webbing is a loop for the rods. You layout the webbing on the ground, stick a rod in one loop then bend the rod up and connect to other end of webbing. set up 2 or 3 rods, drape over the cover and stake it down. You could even create a complete floor with loops for the rods instead. Thanks for the video, it was good fun and entertaining. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks! I like what youre describing, it gives me an idea. We are glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Hi Dave and Nick, thank you for let beeing part of your outdoor adventures and experiments, and ENJOYing the outdoors. Greetings, Michael
Hello Michael! We are always happy to share and thanks for watching brother
Bring collapsible fiberglass tent supports from home. They don't weight much. Stick their ends in the dirt at right angles and you have your dome. Or...take the time to find flexible saplings/branches to form a small wikiup. The cart cover is a really good idea. In addition...When I used to go out and spend many hours on a ground deer stand, I had a large golf umbrella that I spray painted with camo paint. I would open it in front of me as a blind, or sometimes just as a wind break which really helped. My hunting buddy used to say it made me vanish. A few times it rained and it really made the day tolerable. Keep those fun videos coming!

That dome has possibilities! Great to see you guys...Nick was on a giggle roll. 👍😎🇨🇦
Oh yes, I can't wait to continue experimenting with it. Thanks for watching Marian
I can appreciate how your ideas we get to see whether it will work or not right along with you and Nic.
Cool idea
Thank you Tressa!
If at first, you don't succeed.... I appreciate your video and your willingness to post it. I highly value honesty. Thanks, brother.
Thanks David! We show it like it happens. Thanks for watching brother
Thanks for yet another exiting video Dave & Nick! 👍😁
You are very welcome and we are glad you liked it!
I love your equipment on the cheap ideas. Not all of us have much money. 2nd hand dome-tents can be picked up for peanuts, or free and have a dome shaped, hopefully waterproof, flysheet and poles to suit.
I have been carrying a length of mesh fabric in atac fg camo, which makes a good camouflage hide in spring, summer and autumn. A bird photographing friend saw it and asked me to get him one. He's been using it since. I generally just put it over my head, to break the outline.
Small bicycle rear lights make good markers for your shelter too.
Keep 'em coming.
Thanks Jerry, I'm glad you liked it and man I'm very interested in that camo mesh fabric! I'll look that up. Thanks for watching
Hi Dave. Thank you once again for some great uideas and a load of entertainment. ATB and stay safe. Nigel
Hello Nigel! You are very welcome and thanks for watching Brother!
Dave you never cease to amaze me. I have the exact same shirt and pants you are wearing in this video. Keep up the good work.👍
Fantastic to hear that my friend!
Out of all the Bushcraft people on CZcams you are my favorite
Fantastic to hear that Chris!
Hey guys. I think that your table is a great idea. It can also be a cutting board. In regards to your camo panel, the key to blending in is to incorporate nature somehow. Military snipers use natural grass, twigs etc in their ghilli suits. You can also sit behind a bush or trees/branches for the 3-D cover (as pointed out by Nick's keen observation). The snipers often use a Sniper Veil. It's a large piece of mesh that comes both in a solid colour and in camo. Mesh has texture and also allows natural light/shadows, and colour to penetrate. It also allows you to attach local foliage. There's also another material called Monarch Mesh. It has a much larger weave often used for carrying Duck decoys. You can add some to your existing panel so that you can attach Burlap strands. Snipers sew/glue fish net to their uniforms and tie on individual strands of Burlap and material (as pointed out in the Special Features of the movie Shooter with Mark Wahlberg). You can dye Burlap with clothing dye, then combine several colours together to help blend with your environment. They also make synthetic Burlap now. I hope this helps. Another great video. Keep up the good work fellas. :)
I actually have a snipers veil so i bet it would work fantastic on top of my camo panel! Thanks for the info and I'm glad you liked the video!
With the right position of branches/small bendable trees that dome shelter will be perfect. I like the idea. Nick really makes me laugh. He makes such good comments. Great to see you out and about. Take care my friend.
Hello Ulrica! I'm still hoping to find the perfect placement of small trees growing but more that likely I'll just have to build a framework. Nick says Heeyoo and we both thank you for watching!
Fun in the woods on the cheap! A walking pole could hold up some slack. I've even used my axe to give me more room under a tarp. If it gets windy you could roll up any remaining slack material and pin it with sewing clips. Thanks for the ideas and keeping it real!
Very good ideas! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Great idea Dave. You just needed more branches bent over like a wigwam shape. If you'd had that, the golf cart cover would have worked very well. Another possibility is if you had foldable poles from an old dome tent, they could be utilized in the same manner. They'd be light and quite packable. Your camo panels are also a great idea as long as they are draped to break up the rectangle shape of the panel itself. Love all the ideas you come up with. I trust the weatherman was right and you stayed dry all night long.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. I have a pile of tent poles at home that I could experiment with and I might do that but, for now Im trying

I love Dave and Nick’s versions of peekaboo. Love your creativity !
Lol, thanks! We are glad you liked it
I throughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing. You and Nick have too much fun.
Fantastic to hear that Jeff! This is definitely the most fun we have ever had!
Well Dave I'm glad somebody finally covered what I call the " khukuri slip" that is quite commonplace with a lot of sheathes. I will never understand for the life of me why these sheath makers don't change that. If there's one thing I learned from Uncle Bill Martino years ago on Bladeforums... Watch how you draw and resheathe, watch where you put your fingers and make sure the sheath fits. Thank you so much, because if not for UB at Himalayan Imports I would have grabbed one without looking and ended up in the ER. GOLF CART cover? Dude...you are a genius man!😂
Thanks Mark! For some odd reason every kukri sheath I've seen had problems. Ya gotta lock it in. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother
Dave, we had creek front with a huge willow thicket . By clearing a circle about 6 feet we had a dome. The slash from ckearing were cross braces once we bent in the live willows and tied them in the center. Your concept works. As you said, a huge tarp, we used a 12 foot tarp for a low 6 foot circle. We used ours for a bush sauna.
That sounds awesome William!
This golf cart cover has a lot of possibilities. I’m sure you will
improve this idea.
The camouflage panel worked very well in front of the oak tree.
Thank you and Nick for making very enjoyable video’s.
Thanks Ken and we are glad you liked it!
The camo panel wotked pretty darn good when he just plopped it over his head,, just looked kinda like a big tree stump ..
i carry one of the allen gear camo nets from Walmart, the ones that have all the cut outs in them,, around $11.00. & ya can C out 2, i cut some in to peices & makes a quick duck & hide setup
Great visit boys. I started watching a few years back, saddest day was when I watched the last video that was on your page. Now I have to wait for you 2 to Aye-Oh and come back at us. Thx for the visit again
Thanks Tyler, we are glad you like the videos so much. We wished we'd could make a lot more than we do but just don't have time. Take care and thanks for watching
Love this video. Shows how to make something that it was not designed to do. Thinking out of the box shows what can be done with unexpected results. Thanks guys. You make a great team! Ardah
Thanks Ardah! I'm glad you liked it. We figure anyone can just order a tent and go camp. The real fun is thinking outside the box! Take care and thanks for watching
Hi Dave & Nick thanks for another great video.
I would like to make a suggestion if I may about your camouflage blanket?
You can buy small patches that contain a magnet that can be sewn on or into fabric you could stitch one in each corner of the blanket and a few others dotted randomly around then add a couple of magnets or metal buttons to your clothing, doo rag, hat, cuffs pockets ect then when you throw over the blanket (instead of holding it) it will stick to you and you can use your fingers/ hands, knees and feet ect to distort the fabric and break up the shape/pattern you might even be able to walk or move around without being seen.
Hope that made sense keep up the good work I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with 😃👍.
That magnet idea definitely makes sense and I like it! I'll look into that. Take care and thanks for watching
So Dave here is a thought you know the elelastc tye poles that most tents come with right so the concept is to take something like them and make a type of connecters for the top yo connect all together be it 3 or 4 posts then slide the golf cart cover over. Just a thought. Love the videos with each we all can learn something new I know I Have and I was Brought up camping. first time out was with Grandparents and Parents with with family friends 3 different family all together and an old type giant army tent took 4 men to put it up. I was a young one about 5yo now in my mid 50s but still like getting out sometimes have had some health troubles so not out as much like seeing you and Nick get to share these times with each other a Wonderful bonding time! Like seeing bush crafters ideas gos good with camping ideas that can help. All whom watch keep up the informative videos!
Thanks and God Bless You and Yours!
I have a pile of extra tent poles but I'm gonna try to stick with making a frame out of trees. You've definitely got good memories of camping with family. I never camped until I was 20 years old. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too
Waiting for lunch and hiding from rain and wind,lol...cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
Sounds good to me Richard!
That's a really cool idea, I bet with the right materials it could make a nice shelter.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm definitely going to keep experimenting with this idea. Thanks for watching
Cool Beans, Dave & Nick Great Concept, Thanks Friends ! ATB T God Bless
Thanks Terry, I'm glad you liked it and may God bless you too brother
Thanks mr Dave and mr Nick. Love the content and how we get to see it all!
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it Brother!
Another great video, full with good quality photos n ideas, outstanding as usual!
Thanks Gunter! I'm glad you liked it
Cool shelter set up. In an emergency that will keep ya toasty. Down and dirty shelter dome. As far as cutting trees, personally I know the value of managing our forests and know the difference between deforestation and managing a forest or wilderness area. Good job guys!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Oh yes, I know all about sustainable forestry practices. Unfortunately it can't be explained to trolls. Lol. But that's definitely the way to make a good frame! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
Dave's flecktarn camo for the win! Nice job with the shelter concept.
Thanks Jim, I'm glad you liked it
You always think outside the box, my friend! Golf cart cover, great idea!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
Great idea! Better than trying ti sleep under the rain. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Pedro! I'm glad you liked it
Your videos are always fun and informative. Thank you!
Thank you Beverly and thanks for watching!
Two flat tires and cracked my phone screen pretty bad today but a new Dave and Nick video always cheers me up. Ain't that cool!
Ah man i hate to hear that! I'm glad to hear the video made it a little better. Take care and thanks for watching
You might have been disappointed in the shelter but we thought it worked great looked cosy. Definitely sleep in it. Great video Dave cheers always bring a smile to our faces. 😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you Michelle! It worked but I was hoping for it to at least look cool. Lol. Take care and thanks for watching
Thanks guys! I like your idea. Don't give up on your dome. You'll get it.
You are very welcome Theresa and we are glad you liked it! We are still working out different variations of this set up. Thanks for watching
Cool use of a golf cart cover. Several years ago I used a bunch of big saplings to make a blind out of back in my woods.
I left them tied together and over the years they've kept the dome shape and now I have an excellent blind that the deer don't notice at all.
My native x use to make shelters the same way. Imo it's one of the best ways to make makeshift shelters without having to actually cut down the trees.
Sounds fantastic! I need to find some trees growing in just the right spacing to do that
Heeeey Dave and Nick,
Experiments are just that , experiments. We just enjoy spending a bit of time with you and Nick
All the best,
Ben and Sue from Nova Scotia.
Hello Ben and Sue! Great hearing from ya and thanks for stopping by. The experimenting part is half the fun of this stuff!
I like that... The flashlight on his face in the dark, making a scary face. I've done that at times over the decades, to be funny, and because alot of my life time I was a huge horror movies fan.
That does always look creepy
I enjoyed your off the cuff review of the golf cart cover which has given me impetus to try out a structure with a spare box shaped green cover I have for garden furniture, it has eyelets and cord to tighten it at the base. Like with another bent tree shelter you filmed a while back, I recall you used 3 small trees bent into shape, but I suppose maybe it it easier to cut green sticks to stab into the ground and fashion to a structure, but I appreciate your approach to saving saplings. Great job as ever, Enjoyed Nick trying to locate you camouflaged in the bush. I do hope you persevere with this design in the future. Entertaining and fun as ever Thank you David 👍😎
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Your project idea sounds interesting! I tried to avoid it but cutting saplings and stabbing them in the ground would probably make a perfect frame. We are glad you liked it and thanks for watching Mak!
Great idea! I can see where it should work really well maybe with 4 or so river cane pushed into the ground and bent over or as you stated, some small trees cut and bent. It should work fine. We want to see the progression of this idea Dave.
Thanks Wayne! I was trying to avoid chopping trees but I'm probably gonna have to for a good frame. More to come and thanks for watching brother
Outstanding Dave keep up the good work
Thank you Dean!
GOOD TO SEE YOU TWO AGAIN. A while back I told you about 5X magnifying lens by TRUE UTILITY. the lens is good and works but the hardware will fall apart. The screw came out and is lost, the lens is held in the housing with a flat ring like a washer, well it came apart and will not reset into the housing. Oh well back to the drawing board. I'll just stick to a regular jewelers loupe. The little peanut cig lighter is holding its own.
I was thinking tie a tennis ball to the center top or add a loop and suspend it from a tree limb , then run a guy line from each corner to square it then stake it down. Enjoy the video . salute
Always great to hear from you and I hate to hear about that magnifying lens. I like that tennis ball teepee style idea. I may try that. Thanks for watching my friend
Heey David & Nick,
I had fun! Nick is right about the retungular shape. Camouflage is about breaking the shape of an object.
Stay always in the shadows and make sure there's a backdrop so you won't be the highest thing in the area.
Cheers and take care.
Very good advice! Thanks for watching my friend
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Always a pleasure my friend.
👊🙂
Morning Dave!! 😊
Cant wait to see what you came up with.. sounds interesting.. just need my enormous cup of coffee .. lol
Hope you have a great day Hon!
you are on a similar idea train I’ve been toying with for a while 🤔 when I started with the nature photography especially several years ago.. I have several types of fabric for ‘blinds’ or potential stealth camping .. I got some really lightweight ripstop nylon in a few patterns and colors. And I’ve picked up some of the burlap printed with camo and the netting with camo print.. haven’t tried them yet..😬
I’ll keep you posted!
The ripstop can be found in the extra wide width sometimes, so a single ’yard’ is a bigger piece..
I live in New England, and have virtually every type of environment except desert stuff around here, so it’s a challenge to find a one size fits all camo pattern..
But as always, 99 times out of 100, people won’t see you, because they’re not LOOKING for you.. especially if they’re not familiar with hunting type concepts..
I’ve found those pop up tent style blinds in the woods a few times and it’s not a hunting allowed area.. 🤷♀️
I wondered how many people walked in the vicinity and never saw them 🤔
Thanks for sharing as usual my friend!
Hope you’re doing well!
ATB
Grab some coffee and enjoy Ruth!
Very cool to hear that Ruth! This is my first time experimenting with this stuff so there's lots more to learn. I may go bigger but for now I'm experimenting with panels small enough to fit in cargo pants pockets.
And you hit it right on! If folks aren't actively looking they probably won't spot you. Take care and thanks for watching Ruth
@@Reallybigmonkey1 .. pocket size is definitely better, the ripstop nylon is so lightweight that a larger piece is still easy to fit in a pocket..
I have a extra wide ripstop nylon in the new multi cam pattern.. it’s wicked nice 😬
And it folds up into a tiny square..
I have a heavier canvas type fabric in a European camo pattern, but it’s just too bulky for something little.. I’m hoping to make it into a more traditional tarp configuration.. 🤞🤞 lol .. I’m missing a part of my HD sewing machine, so I’ll keep you posted on that one too 🤪 lol
Hi Dave & Nick, good ideas. I like the camo panels and camp table. The golf cart cover might have some possibilities there. Hope you guys didn't get attacked by Bigfoot or a Cougar!🤣⛺👍
Hello Jeff and we are glad you liked it! Lol, sorry but no Bigfoot this go round. Thanks for watching
I know what your trying for. Maybe 4 perfectly placed saplings, bent over and tied in the dome shape, might have faired a but better. But we learn by doing... Experimenting leads to knowledge and skill. Keep exploring options Dave, you'll get it! Thanks for sharing with us all!
Exactly! I'm trying for a dome frame but avoided chopping some saplings. Looks like I'll probably have to. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother
I like the camo panel & I think Nick was right in that draping it to break up the 'regular' non-natural rectangle of it but you looked a little more camouflaged without it, maybe add a camo neck tube & use camo netting for the panel with middle-side single suspension point?
Awesome & thought-provoking as always, ty!
That camo panel is still a work in progress. I'm liking the head and neck idea. I might even try an irregular shape instead of a square. Take care and thanks for watching
Love you two. Thanks for the video. Stay well.
Thank you Gigi!
Thanks Dave and Nick for another exciting video! My family and I always enjoy watching. Not everything's gotta be perfect and it's good that you experiment and try new things. Some things work, some things don't but you'll never know if you don't try. I shall see you in the next one! 👍👍
You are very welcome Ian and we are glad you liked it. Some times experimenting is half the fun! Thanks for watching
Love you ideas and yall showing us first hand!!!! Yall are awesome!
Thanks! We are glad you liked it that much!
I loved how the gulf cart cover had reflective stuff on the inside! That would be great for keeping you warm next to a fire . Hey I was wondering if you could put that over a umbrella type thing somehow. It would be alot to carry I guess . Anyways I though it was a success. I also loved the panel idea . When you were by the oak trees it really made a difference. Great video as always Dave! Take care and stay safe my friends !!!
Oh the inner reflective side was one of the main things I loved the most about that cover! I'm wondering how well it'll block wind and trap heat. I'm probably going to build a nice dome frame for it next time. Take care and thanks for watching Troy!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 maybe tent poles like those old boyscout pop up tents
I like all of your videos, especially the bushcraft type! Keep em comin please!
Thanks Kevin! Plenty more to come!
Great video Dave, you two had a great laugh, from windy South East England
Thanks Peter! We are glad you liked it
The cart tarp reminds me of the dakota tent. Like it looks pretty insulative. It just may need a bit of set up with the right sprigs.
Yep, a lot more experimenting. And this probably would be great for a Dakota pit tent! Thanks for watching
I just love the magicians square of camp cloth 😂 it’s too shiny, that’s the problem with that piece you were using & i agree with Nick. It was much better when draped over you, than held up in a perfect rectangle. I loved the video though, you 2 never fail to put a smile on my face & have a giggle with you, so I thank you for that. I hope life is treating you well brother. God bless you both & as always, much love 💕
Thank you Sheila! We are glad you liked it, it was definitely a fun one to film. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too.
"Don't run out and buy one just yet!" Love it
Lol, let me see if it works first!
THANK YOU friend very much for this video - May your weekend will be blessed with JOY - see you at your next one 🌲
You are very welcome Ofer and you have a wonderful weekend too!
This reminds me of making a fort with dad in the backyard. This is good fun.
Fun in the woods!
That hidden woodsmen ruck looks awesome! Everytime I go camping I wear camo too and get weird looks from the yuppie hikers lol
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Lol, I know the feeling. I've popped into stores before wearing full camo and they acted like they was gonna call the police. Lol. Thanks for watching
Dude this is an awesome idea. Thanks for planting a seed.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the idea!
I knew that they are not good for backpacking but my favorite sleeping bags are still the US Mountain and Arctic from the 50's and the US Intermediate and Extreme Cold Weather bags from the 60's.I can use pretty much any combination of these bags and stay plenty warm. The fact that they are still around and serviceable speaks for their durability,also they don't freeze you on a cold night like nylon will.Where can you get that Flectar camo you're wearing?? Great video as always!! Guys,that flasking light is a great idea.
Oh I he's ya! Those old bags are heavy but they work fantastic. I got my Flectarn years ago from Sportsmen's guide. I have no idea if they still sell them. Thanks for watching brother
Phrase of the Day . " If you don't like this kind of stuff , you need to buy a tent " .. perfect !! Interesting concept with that cover . Nice to hear Nick talking & getting involved ! Sorry Dave . Nick wins this one . Would be better to just draped over your head :D I'll bet that NEW camo like on that pack , and summer . " Draped , you would blend like a ... Wish we'd of had that camo for my team !! Be safe out there folks ....Gubs
Lol, we are glad you liked it! After editing I noticed it was much better just draped over me. Take care and thanks for watching Gubs
Just work on it some more like you always do and it'll work out! Thanks for all you both do!
Will do Paul and thanks for watching!
Excellent as always brother! Yep I’ve used hazel bushes for a similar type of shelter. Nice job buddy 👍🏽👍🏽😎
Fantastic to hear that brother!
Hello Reallybigmonkey1! Thank you for showing me a nice video! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!
You are very welcome and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
I really enjoy your videos and exciting experiments! Them thorns can be a real pain! That thing would make a great golf cart cover!🤓
Fantastic to hear that Dennis! Lol, too bad I don't own a golf cart
I like the idea of your shelter, yet I think carrying a couple small tent poles to couple with it would make a nice option for times ideal trees weren't available or time wasn't on your side. The camo panel is a neat idea. Agree with Nick with draping it over you really helped. And really dig Nick's shenanigans about stealing neighbors golf cart cover. Have a great weekend guys!
I have a pile of tent poles at home that I could experiment with and I might do that but, for now Im trying
to go with not carrying any kind of frame and making one on the spot. Its a work in progress. Thanks for Watching and you have a great weekend too!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I completely understand the not carrying poles if you can avoid it and needing minimal resources from the environment. If you ever get bored, feel free to watch my channel.
Again! Another excellent video my friend.
Thank you Joseph!
Great video! I appreciate that you share your experiments with us. It don’t get more real than that! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! We are glad you liked it and we are always happy to share
I would stake down the edges and hold the center of the tarp up with a walking stick, thus making a teepee.
Thanks for the great video brother.
Good thinking Mike. That is if the natural dome shape has enough material to allow it. I'll try several more set ups as time goes along. Thanks for watching brother
Good stuff Dave. Maybe try breaking up the hard lines of camo panel by making it into a animal pelt shape? Thanks 😊
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. An odd shape is definitely a good possibility!
Thanks guys, I'm in S.Ontario and things are pretty tense, good to laugh with you two playing "can you see me now?"out having fun in the woods!😁😂❣️
I'm glad you liked it! Oh I have heard all about what's going up there. Very scary situation. I'm glad we gave you a few laughs and thanks for watching
👏...Great video as always... Great useful and cheap solutions for outdoors...
☝️Now... 🤔 Is it me the only guy in the planet that decided to not wraph and fold all full fabric/cloth peaces of gear anylonger... and instead started rolling and bending ( like civil war sodiers used to ) and attach it over the backpack...?
1. To keep it outside the ruck sack space in case of being wet and dirty.
2. To prolong the hammok, tent, floor, tarp etc. lifetime utility, preventing the "map pocking holes" damages.
3. To pack and unpack easier.
4. To live room inside the backpack for other peaces of gear, or even using an smaller rucksack...
🤨¿?¿?¿?¿?¿¿?¿?¿?¿? 🧐
Cheers... once again Martin from 🇦🇷Argentina🇦🇷
I'm glad you liked it Martin and thanks for the comments!
Another great video I like the way you showed the mistakes And everything else in between and great ideas you have thank you Dave and Nick
Thanks Alan! We are glad you liked it brother. We show it as it happens
Thanks Dave, I’m currently in Daytona for the race this weekend and as we flew over Georgia, I said to myself “ I wonder if im flying over you right now” lol
If you were anywhere west of Atlanta then you was right overhead! Thanks for watching brother
I love your videos. you have no fear of failure... You're the greatest. And the camo is much more effective draped over you than held out as an obvious rectangle.
Thank you Robert! Sometimes ya win and sometimes ya fail but that's the learning process. Thanks for watching brother
@@Reallybigmonkey1 You succeed a LOT! Love your channel. You are so calm and even tempered... at least on Camera!
@@cardiacbob Thanks! I'm pretty much always calm and going half speed. Lol
I love the flektarn pattern. Reminds me of diffused sunlight on the forest floor.
Oh I love it too! I wished I had more of it
It's like a 'bothy bag'. good for temporary mountain survival, just geting under it out of wind and snow
Exactly. And I have one just like this but a little smaller that perfect bothy style
What can you say, it's a field expedient shelter. The camo panels are a good idea, when draped properly they look good. I'm interested in seeing how the table works out. You and Nick stay safe.
We are glad you liked it! I've used a table like that for years with no problems. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
Another fun video, Nick you were spot on talking about the wind. At 25:21
"run into Big Foot" that was great! And I think at 34:13 you heard a Wookalar?
Thanks for sharing Dave.
Thanks Josh, we are glad you liked it! So far we haven't seen any Bigfoots or Wookies! Lol, thanks for watching brother
Another great vid Dave....and Nick
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it
I really like the flectarn shirt and pants you wear in this video. Been looking for a set myself. 👍 Great video as usual.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! I only have one Flectarn set but I'd sure love another! Thanks for watching
That is so cool Dave..I just finished a shelter that I made out of BBQ grill cover. Great Minds think alike.
Very cool to hear that! We definitely think alike!
Great thought provoking video, Dave. My provoked thought, what about pop up tent poles? They're lite weight and compact when taken down. Easy to carry. Some are made with a center piece, the poles slip into with a center hook for the tent center loop to hang from. Or, since your better than me with a sewing machine, make a cloth " X" pattern to slip the poles through. That would hold them in the right position. Stake them in a dome shape. Pull the cover over with the zipper between poles, and stake it down. Really like the table & the camo panel. Agree with Nick on irregular shape. Maybe lay down, like a log? Lower profile? All out of provoked thoughts.lol. See you in the next one.☺
I have a pile of tent poles at home that I could experiment with and I might do that but, for now Im trying
to go with not carrying any kind of frame and making one on the spot. Its a work in progress. Im glad you liked the table. I do believe laying down with that camo panel on top will be way more effective. Thanks for Watching
Awesome machete Dave. Thanks for the show!
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching brother
You guys are having too much fun together. I really like the table concept.
Oh man we have a good time together. Thanks for watching Andre
Hi Dave and Nick , just some time you have to try things out to see if there going to work. That way if you get in a situation you know what will work if you have to scavenge for your shelter cover.
Thanks for the video video!
Hello Johnny! Yep, and improvised gear goes a long way in a survival situation. We are glad you liked it and thanks for watching brother
Oh my gosh.. DAVE! I used to watch your videos all the time (it's been 6-7 years ago, I was in high school). Before I had an account so I couldn't subscribe! And for the last few weeks I have been thinking about you and your channel! But I could not remember your name... out of nowhere, one of your videos popped up as recommended! Whewwweee! Subscribed and enjoying it! I missed your content
Fantastic to hear that and I'm glad you found me again! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching
Lots of good stuff, great video, thanks.
Thanks!
Good morning Dave and Nick , hope you are doing well. I look forward to seeing each video and what you guys make and use , it's not open a box setup and do a review like a lot of other videos do . Stay safe and enjoy your day.
Good morning Kenny and we are glad you like the videos! Pretty much everything we do is gonna be out of the ordinary. Lol. Thanks for watching
Interesting project as usual!
Thanks Brother!
