Building a BUSHCRAFT Tarp Shelter During a STORM in the Australian Bush

- I head to a patch of forest in the Australian Bush to build a little tarp shelter for the night with forecasted rain and storms coming in. I use resources around me to create a bed to sleep on. I also review the Pathfinder SS 32 oz Bottle-Cup-Stove Cook Set from Survival Supplies Australia.

You might find a set of secateurs handy, small take up little room, and can cut through all sorts things.
Camped like that many many times in my life mate loved every minute of it, even the Cadet corp on bivouacs in the mountains North East of where I lived in Country I actually knew pretty well we only had a pup tent for 2 guys and a poncho for a ground sheet and a couple of old army blankets,.A lot of the kids sooked a bit because they were Mummies boys but not me and some of my mates coz this was how we rolled, a pup tent and a poncho were bloody luxuries.
That's awesome mate. Best way to grow up!
What I do sometimes is go to a river and rearrange the rocks to make a nice sleeping platform, first big rocks, then medium, all level, then throw in lots of small pebbles. Goes pretty fast when there's lots of rocks. I've even set one up under a bank with water flowing beneath. Easy to anchor an upright stick in the rocks for attaching tarp.
Doing that, have to be aware of flash floods. Even if it's not raining where you're at, it can be raining miles away in the mountains and a flash flood can be like a tidal wave.
So my method is definitely questionable.
Still, a lot of rocks makes a great sleeping platform.
Then I'll often put down vegetation.
I've also used clay, meticulously removing all pebbles and making a perfectly flat tablet with excellent drainage.
That all takes time though.
Pretty fast with rocks, doesn't take long at all.
A rocky area can be a good defensive area too, if there's wild pigs roaming around. Be a little higher in the rocks than them, and if they do get any ideas (and they can and do sometimes) can throw rocks at them. They'll get mad, but go away.
Sounds good mate, I did a trip along the coast and managed to make a bed platform using driftwood and rocks.
My grandmother who was born around 1900 said the hotter the fire the smaller the sticks.
Great saying
Love the way you made the frame on that tent fly mate 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
Nice video, keep it up I’m hope to see more.
Thanks mate, I'll be posting a video a week at this stage.
The rain really seems to love you mate. 🤣 Nice little camping spot and if there was anything to fall from above, that double trunked fallen tree may have protected you anyway. I've got that same Pathfinder kit but I've never used the little twig stove that came with it. I have however, just bought the new Titanium twig stove from Alton Goods. Great looking little stove. I can't wait to try it out. My collection of Alton products just keeps growing. 🤣
Yeah I love the alton products. I have a twig stove but it's not the alton one. Yeah this spot is a great little spot just down the back from my house, so it's good to get out for more little bushcraft type projects.
Looks like a fun little overnighter! 👍
Good to have this patch of bush down the back property
G’day mate. Just subscribed.
Love your outings.
Being a bush craft channel, it might be a good idea to brush up on basic knot tying & then even do a how to when you’ve mastered them.
The Clove Hitch & Square Lashing are I believe two of the most used in bush craft.
You’re getting some great view numbers on this video already. Well done 👍🍻
Thanks heaps mate for watching. I'll be totally honest with you .. of all the bushcraft areas, knot tying is one of my weaker points .. so it's not a bad suggestion!!! Going to get onto that a.s.a.p. thanks for watching
Nice video, im glad I found you thru mattsys channel.
Cheers mate. Mattsy is a legend! I'll be doing a few trips with him over the next few weeks.
Thank you for video. I like for you do. Dont stop it
Thanks for watching!
I have to admit I do love my own nesting sets, but I have damaged a couple of the nesting stoves now by warping them in fires that were a little too hot. Small fires and my Trangia used with them now. Live and learn, even now. Love the new channel 👍
Thanks for coming over to the channel craig! I actually have a 1940's military issued 1 litre water container with an attached nesting cup coming in the mail very soon. Can't wait to start using that.
That would be interesting. I have always been a fan of the WW2 German Mess Kit and have some WW2 ones and used them since I was a kids in the Cadets, in my own service days and even now. Some old ideas were so good they are still getting used today.
With a name like Bearded Bushranger I naturally had to take a look ;)
Love the tarp shelter setup. It's my favorite way to go. Your other videos look theyre right up my alley. I'll be checking them out. Thanks. Subbed.
Good luck amigo.
Thanks mate I appreciate it. Last 2 years I've been working away at another channel ( @lukeslittle tribe ) which is all about getting my kids out bush. But I got a real passion for Aussie history and how the old fellas camped so thought I'd start up this channel just dedicated to that.
@TheBeardedBushranger I like the idea of the history and how it was done 'back in the day'. Hope it works out. Kudos on getting the kids interested.
Good work Luke. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
Best Beautifuli you ❤
Thanks for watching.
A thicker pad of ferns might have been a little more comfortable. All in all, good on ya!
Definantly add some more insulation as well! Thanks for watching.
your video is very good❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much for watching!
@@TheBeardedBushranger Hello. nice to meet you
So nice brother 👏
Thanks for watching mate.
Looks fantastic!👍💯
Cheers mate.
Nice video! Going out next weekend with a tarp myself as well. Hope to get the kids exited about these sort of adventures when they get bigger 😊 what size tarp are you using?
Thats great mate. I love a good tarp camp. I actually have another channel (my main channel) called Luke's little tribe which is all about taking my kids out in the bush.
This is the 3m x 3m Alton tarp.
A very nice hike.
Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for watching mate.
see this song --> scandinavianz - hiking :)
Great video keep up the great work ...
Cheers mate.
good stuff mate, great video and great concept for a channel. Good luck with your channel, I know how much work you have to put in to get these uploaded. Subscribed, look forward to watching it build ✌🏻
Thanks mate. I'm pretty sure I've been subscribed to you on my other channel 'Lukes little tribe'. Your NSW based yeah? I see some of the budawangs in your vids.
Thanks for sharing you may find a cup lid improves your boil time take it easy
Yeah it comes with the little cup lid as well .. but I've lost it 😂 Thanks for watching.
Subscribed great video brother 👍👌from Canada 🇨🇦👍😀
Cheers mate thanks for watching
And thanks for subscribing
Good. I enjoyed for like this. Similar to my video.❤.
If that's Australia, how come I see no kangaroos?
I ate them all 😂
I never waste my breath blowing on a fire when casually fanning it with my hat requires a lot less effort.
Yeah mate I hear ya, but the twig stove was so low to the ground, I found blowing down into it worked better
Auscam, Gumboots and an oilskin coat.
As confused as every modern Australian political party :D.
Mint content mate.
😂 My wife always said I didn't really have a good fashion sense!
Get off the ground bro
Gday Luke, new channel name mate! I recognised the thumbnail but didnt notice the name till i saw the comments, tis a great idea good luck with it, subbed👍👍🇦🇺🪓🏕
Cheers mate! Funny you came accross the channel naturally? I'm announcing it officially on Lukes little tribe on Monday and will post a video explaining the reasons for a second channel.
@@TheBeardedBushranger yeah mate it just came up in my recommendations. I had a look on your other channel too, noticed some vids aren't there I'm guessing your moving them over. Hopefully you don't lose the views and comments on them, but even so it's clever to have these style vids all together. Looking forward to some new ones too, love these old school vids. The desert ones were great
Exactly that Kurt. I am moving over the swagman videos from Lukes little tribe to this one. I have been quite surprised how well it has gone already with just old videos. 0 to 360 subs within 3 weeks.
From next Sunday I will be posting new original swagman videos on this channel
