Thanks for clicking.

Thank you Renman78. Tell me, what should I do to improve it??

Thanks Warrior. I dont like the lighting at the beginning but then the clouds went away and it brightened up some.

It was my 3rd take. Bad lighting.

I married one!!

Thank you JH.

Thank you for your enquiry ! Here's the rub, in Africa they use bamboo which is very light weight but extremely strong. Here in North America the wood is very weak {compared to bamboo} but extremely heavy {again, compared to bamboo}. So, the problem I have run into is not finding a cable, rope, twine system that is strong enough to lift up the wood that I can find here in the USA. In the Cong they use rope and twin that can hoist bamboo which is strong enough to hold them up in the trees. I tried to use PVC pipe but it was too heavy for the cheap rope I did find. it snap and my fat ass agreed with gravity. So..... what I did find is mature cane reeds but not enough of them to make a hanging hut. I am going back to that location soon to pick up a bunch more and if I acquire enough of it I will do a vid on the " Ngala Hunters Hut". Ill explain to you how it's done. really simple!!!! They tie rope around a tree trunk from the top down and tie it onto the four bamboo poles. Think of it as a four square box figure around a pole. The weight of the platform pulling down keeps the rope tight around the tree trunk. Keep in mind that those trees can be 130 feet high and the platforms are anywhere from 20 to 50 feet in the air surrounding the tree trunk. When you see one in the Congo it looks like a pile of garbage that was left from a very high ranging flood that deposited a bunch of trash in the trees but it's not. Those people use all kinds of trash, plastic and whatever in their construction of these huts. Did this help??? Please let me know.

Very cool, ill look into it more. I was thinking about tying what people call 'tree nets' in the forest to hunt from and to sleep in. However those are quite permenant, leaving rope in the forest which is neither enviromentally friendly nor cost effective.​@@CamplifeBushcraft999

I dont remember the "Red Green Show". What is it??

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 it was a fun Canadian tv show from the early 2000s. Kinda a “mens” show about duct tape and such. Search for it on RUclips you might enjoy it.

I found it. Didnt think Canadians had such a developed sense of humor.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 Canadians make some of the best shows. Letterkenny is fantastic if you haven’t already heard of it.

@@Austoner421 Thanks Austoner, I'll check him out.

Thank you. Simple has endurance.

Thank you

Thanks for watching

Thank you Warrior

Poor advertising but a good product anyway.

Yes it was.

Thanks, will do.

Go see the world!

MRE's much lighter

Would you believe while in Korea we traded MRE’s for Ramon noodles and moon pies…

@@AlpineWarrior550 In Kentucky moon pies are both a meat and vegetable. Yes I do believe it!

Thank you much Warrior.

Yes!

I'm doing another one this week with step by step instruction and NO shakiness. Thank you USer-PK

Yes, they werent bad. Now they have a better one that you can actually taste.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 Yes, they have come a long way with them…👍🏻 Always thought the K Rations tasted better though…

I loved the C ratts. A million ways to cook em.

Thank you too

When were you in Oki?? Were you 1st Group??

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 I was in the Marines from 83 to 95 I was in Okinawa in 87 with 3rd Battalion 8th Marines and in 91 with 1st Battalion 2nd Marines and at that time I was a Chief Scout Sniper in a STA Platoon…

@@AlpineWarrior550 Good - I was Army for 11 years. Mess kit repairman.

Have you read any books written by Don Paul…?

@@AlpineWarrior550 No, who is he?

I'm posting another one about his topic this coming week. Will show you 2 ways to do it.

I'm doing another one in about a week. Less shakiness and more instruction. Thank you

Thank you for your reply. Sir, I promise you I will do an in-depth and exact instructional video on this topic. I put this one in just to see if anyone would be interested in this skill. Thank you. D

Also, please like and subscribe. Without it I wont be on youtube for long.

Ha! yep.

Thank you sir. next time its your turn but with a 1000 lb ruck.

Thank you sir!

Thank you for this insight!

It's called a declination diagram

The US Army maps still have the declination but they're changing them yearly due to the travelling magnetic north. I heard an astronomer say that all the planets in our solar system are experiencing the same phenomena. Thank you.

@@Nashvillain10SE thanks, I haven't done mapwork since the mid 1980s.

Correct Stevean. The magnetic pole shift started around 1982 now it's in full swing.

A magnetic pole shift takes thousands of years to complete. And you could say that Earth is constantly experiencing a magnetic pole shift, depending on what you mean by that.

@@Tjalve70 I'll leave that conclusion to the experts which I am not. suspicious0bservers and maverickstarreloaded have compiled volumes on this topic.

True. GPS is updated by the minute. Thank you.

You can easily do it yourself. Please let me know what you find. 11.9 degrees in Southern Ca toward Arizona.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 Sequoia National Park 14° in the 80's. +12.07° now.

That seems to be correct with the distance involved. I would like to know the contact info for the US Navy atomic clock in Colorado. They 've been tracking this stuff since the 50's.

Did you use the NGEO website?

This is the NOAA Website. They have a serious interest in knowing exactly what the declination is. www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/mobileDeclination.shtml

It's actually the earth that wobbles, not the north star.

You can easily do it yourself. Let me know what declination you find.

@@chrisruthford4492 yes, i realize that. my point being that I believe that the star is not true north.

@@zafnor Polaris is exactly true north it varies less than a degree. Magnetic north is almost 12° from Polaris.

Many thanks!

There is a recent development in this topic.

It's 30 degrees off in some places and getting wider. Mag north is now close to Russia.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 And it changes...... Many feel we are due for a magnetic pole shift..... It Happens every 6000 years or so........

Please check out Maverickstarreloaded and Suspicious0bservers channels on youtube. Both channels have compiled a HUGE volume of facts on the pole shift/ excursion. If we only experience a slip then we may survives this thing but who knows.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 interesting my friend, thanks for the info…👍🏻

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 Yes, I keep up with Solar reports from Suspicious0bservers...

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it

I'm doing another one today using a washcloth. Tell me what you think.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 I will my friend…👍🏻

I call it the noggin nokker.

I call it the nogginator.

Big flies in Scotland.

Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

Planning is everything.

The rope is 12 strand, 8mm diameter with a 900kg weight limit. Am I reading this correctly??? My old rope is going in the trash or I'll use it for tying up the chicken coop. It breaks with just a little weight.

Thank you sir, I'm filming now.

Thank you for the advice but there's a reason I swing it that way. You do notice that in my videos I wear a long sleeve shirt? My upper left arm is mangled and thats all I'll say about it.

@@CamplifeBushcraft999 Im sorry to hear. that. Didnt mean any offense, just wanted to help. Thanks for the video:)

You didnt offend me, I receive a bunch of remarks about it. They're just curious because it is a add way go swinging an ax. My upper left bicep was detached from the she shoulder in a parachuting accident back in the Army. Did other damage too. Damn near killed me.
