On today's adventure I started by packing up my sled full of my camping gear and the aluminum foil packing tape and other tools needed to build this wild shelter. it was the same spot where I built the saran wrap shelter in the winter snow storm and the cardboard box shelter in winter. I then began by forging for the aluminum foil and I shook some tape down form a tape tree. I laid down the blue tarp on the floor for some nice waterproof ground. I then began to tie up with some rope the stick to support the foil roof. Once I tied up the web of trees I started to tear and wrap it with the aluminum foil. Once I layered the aluminum foil sheets like shingles and wrapped the bottom of the roof with some layers as well the roof was complete. I built the roof on a slight slant to let the rain drip off and drain to one side during the rain storm that was coming. After a quick break in the hammock it was time to get back at it and build or put up the walls. I decided to wrap each tree trunk with the foil like a burrito then taping segments of foil length wise to each foil tree burrito base for support. I began to layer and build up each wall. Now it was time for the door I wanted a door that would swing open and closed to keep animals and the rain out. I used a tall stick to divide the front wall in half and then built the door out of other sicks and rope and wrapped it all in aluminum foil for the walls of the door. I used packing tape hinges on the door. Once the door was up I put some bottom layers of foil all around the shelter and then covered the bottom layer with the leaves and sticks form the forest floor to make it weather and wind proof. Finally! after all the time the shelter was built and it looked amazing. Like a giant mirror in the middle of the woods or a crashed space ship. I'm sure the airplanes flying above could see the reflection from the sun from walls and the roof all the way from up there in the sky. It was bright and amazing! Exhausted I needed some food and energy. For dinner I cooked some four cheese tortellini with a nice spicy read pasta sauce.Yumm. I cooked up some orange bell pepper and some garlic in a pan as well for some extra flavor. Once it was all cooked up I made my pasta bowl out of aluminum foil to fit the theme for the day. I poured myself a large bowl and began to chow down! Tasty! After dinner it was time to metal detect he forest. I wanted to find some treasure it would be sweet if I found some gold ha. I believe this was very old farm land so I knew there was chance to find some cool stuff. First thing I found and dug up was an old Winchester turkey and pheasant shotgun shell. I then made it down to the larger pond and filmed a bit of a turtle covered in moss sitting on a log I the middle of the water. so cool :D. I then found an old chewed up deer skull. I then metal detected an old like metal double carabiner or clip of some sort. I then I found some fungus spores on an old log which I stepped on and made a cloud of spores pretty wild. I then metal detect and found a larger piece of metal with long hole in it I though it could have been an old like plow tool or some sort of saw blade but I'm really not sure what it could have been. Now it was time to relax a bit form all the work /activities . I watched the sunset and filmed the clouds rolling by beautiful skies tonight :D. Now I started to cook up a snack. Jiffy Pop it was. While cooking it the side burst and about a quarter of the popcorn came flying out and some of it got burned as well lol. Still tasty! I then went on a night walk and filmed some wonderful frog life super loud but awesome! After the night walk it was time for bed. I turned on my little buddy heater and tucked in for the night. At around 5 AM in the morning it began to rain hard. the shelter healed up beautifully. It was morning I Made some breakfast pancakes yumm! After the delicious meal it was time to pack up and head back home. I tore down the shelter in the funnest way I could think lol. All that work and it tore down so fast lol. I had the largest ball of foil Ive ever seen and I packed it up on my sled and dragged it back home. It was a wonderful shelter and experience I truly hope you enjoyed the journey along with me :D
Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day :D

At least with this tent, you were safe from Aliens trying to read your mind.
Heh
When lightning season ,there will be dangerous to stay in an Aluminium shelter, don't you think so?
Could you combine the cardboard boxes, tin foil, and Saran Wrap in one mega shelter?
I was saying the same thing !! Lol great minds think alike. I’d like to see a duct tape shelter too.
He eats a lot of pasta
And Bubble Wrap!
This a joke ....all three ????
@@tylerpemberton3134 insulation from hell
I'm a little late to the party, but that big metal piece looks like its for knifing in anhydrous fertilizer (or perhaps dry fertilizer or root worm chemical) for farming applications. Its definitely off a farm implement. Keep up the good work.
Exactly what I thought, too, about a piece of plowing equipment. The 18th- and 19th-century types that were pulled by horse and had forks situated behind the wheels, like this: thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/antique-plow-5067522.jpg
I was thinking a harrow tine but couldn't work out why it would be "edged" like that. Too blunt to be a ploughshare, and it probably wouldn't be curved either.
I hope your doing wonderful!
You too! You have been the greatest escape for me! I've got woods behind my new house I fully plan on playing in!!
@@angelaf5040 Awesome!
You’re. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏼💜😁
Surprised the tape trees are blooming this time of year.
Tis the season lol 😋
You should buy some 4 x 8 sheets of 1/2" foam board and make a hut from that stuff. It would be so easy and insulated as well. Only draw back would be carrying it in to the woods. Not heavy, but bulky.
Thats a great Idea I have to see how much I would I need and if I can get it out there its kinda far lol But ill mull it over for sure!
In '92 I insulated the floor of a mobile home using scraps of foam board ,the place was very warm that winter
That big iron blade thing looks like it would have been part of some antique tractor cultivator attachment
Thats what I was thinking as well its gotta be that
@@QuietNerd the other thing you found in your paper shelter video, I think it's a stirrup hoe... Maybe... If you search that up it looks similar, I know because I've been in the market for one myself. Lol
I love your videos cause for some reason they give me some sort of peace. Keep it up dude
I'm glad you enjoy them :D
To keep the noise down when the rain hit the foil roof, plus for a little absorption, putting some leaves on top may have helped
The rain sounded like you were in a giant jiffy pop container like the one that exploded😁
Lol I'm glad my shelter didn't do the same
Double snap for dog chain , the big part is of a planter that’s what opens dirt for seed at front of planter then a double wheel covers the seed back up …of a corn planter. Nice idea but noisy
Corn planter cool I know there are still fields for corn like a few miles away I bet your right! Thanks for the info! and yea super noisy lol
I watch all these shelter dudes and ur my favorite 😀
Thanks you :D! Means a lot. Ill have some more shelter video in the future so stay tuned :D
I concur.
Your video's are so clever, a nice change from the usual camping video's.
I really do like the way that tape grows on trees there.
Very handy when going camping!
😎🌜
Just gotta hope the tapes in season :D
Great video, just binged 3 of your shelter camping videos! Love your commentary.
Thank you :D and cheers!
You crack me up, love your creativity and attitude! Thanks for taking us on your adventure
Hey @Quiet Nerd, this may be a little too late, but that large piece of metal looks like it could be carbon steel. You could spark test it on a bench grinder if you have access to one. If it is it indeed caron steel it would be a good piece to forge a knife out of. Sounds like a cool project for a future video :)
cool suggestion its a shame he never responded :(
WOW great job on the roof 😄😄 the hold shelter was well put together.. Thanks and stay safe
Cool frogs. Spring peepers.
Yes I thought so! very cool indeed
I really enjoy this random kind of stuff I especially liked the driveable mini cabin episodes that was neat as be great solution for homeless
Please do one with garbage bags and clear packing tape, and a door made with cardboard with cutouts for windows and clear food wrap (aka. clingwrap, aka. serene wrap). And you can use the clingwrap for making windows in the garbage-bags walls, too.
Love frogs - Thank you.
That single piece falling out at the end, sofa king hilarious.
Not sure what that big metal thing is but the little "carabiner" is usually used on a dog chain or leash. Great video.
Thanks! and thanks for the info. yes I'm stumped on the big metal thing I hope someone has some clue to what it is I'm curious!
@@QuietNerd me too. Curiosity is getting to me lol.
I wasn't talking about the big metal piece I was talking about the tin foil on your shelter. And my thought on the metal piece is that it was a farm equipment piece cuz it was cutting the log putting chunks into it so the blades on the big machines
looks like the karabiners used in horse bridals too
@@strelokblackburn4651 now that you mentioned it, it sure does.
That would be one awesome faraday cage
Snook in the EZ bake oven 😊⚓
Ohhhh Shiny!
Firefly! Brown coats forever!
I am a little late and I only discovered your channel yesterday and I love your shelters!! I have to say that the boxes were my favorite one compared to your saranwrap and aluminum foil but it's a close race all the same. I'm trying to think what's the next shelter you could make so this will be very interesting. I love your content and can't wait to see the next one.
(Walks into Walmart) "So who's up for my next shelter?"
This one was funny. Last fall I tried to make one of these for the fire pit because it was raining and I didn't want it to rain on my food. It failed because of the wind. Type wasn't an option for me.
At one point I watched RUclips videos on making a wood stove to heat a tent using metal vent sheets but that failed because the the people with me got drunk and took over my project (I don't drink). I thought about trying to make one out of foil pans or tinfoil but it would likely melt the foil. If you figure out how to make a wood stove to heat a tent for under $10. Please share that video. There's a lot of homeless people that might benefit from the videos you do.
How about Yarn or any type of rope or rope material combined with twigs and leaves? Maybe if you get the opportunity you can do one.
You have such a positive attitude on these projects. I truly believe you have a lot to offer the world. I just hope your blessings are equal in value so that you never lose whatever it is that makes you, you.
I look forward to seeing your next adventure.
Thanks for the kind words! Yes I'm always thinking of new shelter ideas as well. I'm not sure on the stove for $10. And stay tuned for some new shelter video not to far in the future :D
@@QuietNerd The wood stove or some heating system for a tent at or under $10. Is something I wanted to figure out after realizing just how many people are homeless and die due to hyperthermia. They don't have much money. Perhaps we or someone will in time figure it out.
I also toss vegetable seeds on the ground in remote areas across 3 states every spring in hopes they successfully grow to feed random people in need.
My insane desire to help in some way is why I love your videos. I don't know your intentions but what I see is you showing people they can use random items for shelter in any weather condition. It's refreshing.
The hikers described the unidentified craft as a large metallic object the size of a utility shed. They described seeing a humanoid figure steeping out of the brightly lit craft…..
You had a lot of fun Tearing that shelter Down😂😅😅😅
Duct tape a bunch of branches together. Cover with innovative natural roof and bulldoze the earth up and around it. The perfect stealth camo and easy emergency structure. Fast and easy escape set up.
I'm binge watching your channel. Love all your content including the mtg videos.
Loved "this is what a sandwich must feel like".
I agree with most of the other comments. Entertaining and informative, too 👍 Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed :D your so welcome!
21:25 wow, hella view & scenery
I believe that's a scythe head you found, very cool
I think the big metal thing is an old mule plow. That could be as early as the late 19th century or even older!
Now I have to pause this and go make some popcorn 🍿😁
haha I feel you
Now this is asmr...
I seriously can’t believe it worked good job
Thank you! I'm happy I was no soaked with the rain lol
So fun!! 🐸🐸
😃 Thanks!
Ooh you should make wind chimes from stuff you find.
I remember when jiffy pop first came out. Took a few times to climb the curve. It wasn’t as simple as it was advertised.
Grateful
Looks like a lot of work and cold weather but you did it and spend the night 👍👍👍👍👍
A lot of work indeed but so worth it :D
Yes good idea combine all the material
Should have put a layer of leaves on top of the shelter to help keep heat in and help keep any possible leaks to a minimum. Probably help keep noise down too if windy. definitely would have added a lip or something above the door to help keep breezes, wind or rain from coming in. But definitely cool idea though.
Man you had me at metal detector!!
But through it together with campn...NEXT LEVEL. FANTASTIC VIDEO
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure :D more to come!
Your metal detecting reminded me of a time when I found some coins dating back tot he 1850's in my front yard. A guy that goes detecting on the corner of my paren'ts farm where the old school was at came over, and most of what he found was the foil from gum wrappers and all the little trim pieces of the aluminum siding the installers never cleaned up
Nice finds I hope one day to find something sweet like that most times i find junk lol but its still so fun to go on a treasure hunt and then to think how it got there
Just found you yesterday with the box fort. These are great n I'm so glad they're not silent videos!
Look like a giant Bake potato shelter
Lol
I am about to do an experiment this coming rainy season. Going to pull an all nighter and generate some electricity. I will have light but I am concerned about wildlife and people. This is taking place in my backyard woods.
Man you take a lot of time and effort for videos like this one. The tin foil is an idea i've never seen another person try before. Pretty cool ideas man. Hope more views start rolling in because stuff like this is the stuff I love. Where the creator puts forth the effort to not only the video idea.. but even camera shots. None of it goes unnoticed brother man. Awesome work.
Top work. Really enjoyed your ideas box house and foil hut. Great entertainment, thanks.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :D
Far out! I thought I'd already seen all your "I made a shelter out of weird stuff" videos. Awesome to see your foraging skills are still on form. The way you managed to find that foil and tape out in the wilderness is an inspiration to all bushcrafters.
The concept of capsicum-and-garlic flavoured pancakes sounds interesting... might give it a try some day.
got yourself a new sub
Good job 👍
Thanks!
Addicted to these videos
Good thing you didn't have a thunderstorm
Excellent presentation
Cool
ThT was fun to witness! The metal piece belongs to a hard sythe. What folks in WV called a dummy stick. It's the head of the sythe that attach3es to a long curved handle. For cutting g hay. Looks like a plow went o er and bent the head where that ihin metal strip is. It is carbon steel.
Next time you build a tin camp pick a roll of foil tape up, I’m a insulator we use it a lot great stuff and it would definitely help you out..,
Wow, cant believe someone actually did what i thought it would be good idea
You have so much fun doing it…as much go bring it down…as responsible for the environment
Too funny when it started raining.
Should have stayed another night. That was one nice shelter. My favourite was the plastic wrap.
I like aluaminium factory's.
I feel like Voices of The Void would be right up this guy's alley lol
Started playing that yesterday, really fun game.
As soon as I heard that it was gonna rain in the night I immediately knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for the noise lol.
Amazing videos! Greetings from Hungary :)
Looks like the Frank Gehry Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. High Class👍
Lol Awesome :D
"An old, like... thing" lmao
It's like an old like double snap ring.
Watching this video made me hungry , I kid you not , I gotta hankering for some Baked Potatoes 😜🥔
well done mate i enjoyed that from London England ^5
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed Cheers from Michigan!
U should do this n try it in the winter time spring time...... use the box idea tight as u can then wrap it w plastic as tight as u can n over lap the roof w the boxes n plastic n inside use tinfoil for ur installation use a few layers n make sure everything tight n try no holes n make a window or 2 one on the door for sure but make the window(s) b4 u put plastic on so u can kinda see out or whatbever. I bet u will keep dry n worm.
This was awesome!!🤣👍🏼🙏🏼💜
:D Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!
What's up , Quiet nerd , I wanna say two things. First, happy New Year and that's not a bad idea making a shelter out of aluminum foil . I seen RUclipsrs make shelter's out of Saran wrap but you're the first using aluminum foil . And with the son , it should be pretty warm inside there . 💯👍😎Thanks for sharing.
So, beautiful ❤️
:D
Great place to develop alzeimers
Weird Al's song Foil came to mind when i saw the thumbnail
DUDE! I love seeing your content get great views!
Thanks! :D
awesome channel dude!!!
Those are some dank cakes!
Tasty Cakes! I liked the whale shape one
Hey, how are ya :) I am just seeing your channel for the first time, and really enjoying the experience. Food for the soul. You're doing good in this old world, truly God's work. Signing off for now. Love camping and exploring too, always have, always will, sending good vibes all the way, _Pura Vida from Costa Rica!_
Welcome to the channel I hope you enjoy! Ill have some more shelter video in the future for sure! Sending good vibes back at ya!
I have good TV sign lol.
Now its aluminum! You’re insane!!
:D lol someone has to be
L
I can't think of the name right now but the large blade looks like a vintage tool that people used to shave wood with to round out corners on logs and things like that. If I find the name, I'll let you know.
Interesting Ill google and see if i see what your talking about
@@QuietNerd I tried googling it and almost came up with it but not quite. It attaches to a table and has a handle like the iron bar that was sticking up. It shapes and shaves wood with ease since it's a very sharp blade. Maybe if you did a lookup on google with an image of yours, that might help. I'm still trying to think of the name and find images of what I think it is. It's one of those things that will bug you until you find the answer. lol
@@QuietNerd I finally found out what I'm thinking of. The clogger's knife. A channel on RUclips called Advoko MAKES has a video where he makes one.
Cloggers knife eh! ill have to check it out thanks for finding out the name for me :D
Cloggers knife eh! ill have to check it out thanks for finding out the name for me :D
If you did this when it’s cold like in the snow, a small heater would probably heat that thing up like crazy with all the reflecting and stuff.
fun video!
I'm glad you enjoyed :D have a wonderful day!
First time seeing your chanel that thing you found go's to a plow
Welcome! and I felt it was something like that Thanks!
V.good video
I sure hope they know you at the recycling center well
Very cool ideal
Thank you!
So much fun for me to tag along lol ! 😁😁😁
'Corporals Corner' just did a foil shelter recently too.. nice job. 🙂
Interesting I'll have to check it out for comparison
Thanks
Thought I recognised the big tree
