wall tent living is smooth and easy..for 20 yrs i was on se rendezvous staff..i lived in a wall tent for a week to ten days many times a yr..it truly is a home in the woods..thanks for the video Dave..safe journeys
This was a great video. It gave me some good ideas for camp life. Dave could you please give us a video about 5 or more people setting up a semi permanent camp, for 2 or more weeks. I have always enjoyed your videos.
DAVEYou have more information vids ( and good ones no great ones) than anyone else on u-tube----Never stop, what is second nature to you is someone else's eye opener. Don't forget how much we appreciate what you do for the common man.
I like the hanging ridge pole shelf. I went from using a ground canvas floor that trapped too much moisture, to a rug that got soggy and nasty, to a wood floor mat. This is constructed of 1 1/2" square poles with a rope passed through each end and a knot between each piece(much like a shower floor mat). Great in the wet and in the cold! Gotta love the wall tents!!!
Good Video! I use one of these tents thought out the winter here in northern Canada. I have a ton of canvas tent with wood stove videos on my channel. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these videos Dave. Keep's coming!
I agree with the reality and use of a walled tent as a base camp option. It reminds me a lot of the living quarters I saw while visiting Yorktown Va. and also at the civil war museum days in Appomattox Va. I think it would be really cool to live in one for a couple weeks to get a real feel for that life style.
4:00 Wool... Damn right! Lighter than cotton, transfers warmth even when wet, never fails like down or poly. Breaths like no other material. These after the bug out and return to own, or abandoned homes scenarios, is a new wave of furthering ones existence. Cutting edge Dave, in a plethora of already seen survival techniques. Keep the cut fresh and drive on with the hope of continued comfortable existence once the shtf has died down. -gilpin 4-15-16
You have done a great job recreating a camp straight out of the classic camping era Dave. It is like taking a step back in time...back to better times IMHO.
Brilliant frontiersman camp setup Dave, love it, I have lived a similar lifestyle here in Blighty travelling around with horse and a two wheel spinner cart for 3 years living in a bender tent, excellent way of life, alas now I have a family and a brick home full of comforts, gotta love the great outdoors, thanks for your time and effort in these videos, atb, Paul.
very interesting video series! looking forward to seeing more. I plan on living in a wall tent for a couple months while building my cabin in Alaska, and I want to know all the tips and tricks on living in one!
Being a WBTS reenactor who has camped in freezing temps in "period" wedge (a-frame) tents, shelter half tents, and using a bedroll under the stars, I can vouch for the wisdom of using multiple layers of wool blankets. Each layer helps. BTW, I like your box, Dave. I've constructed one that is slightly larger than an actual cartridge ammo box for use in camp. Any future boxes I make will use more period style construction.
I can see this concept evolving into constructing a multi-functional wagon. The type where you can have different wheels, making at able to be pulled behind a car ATV or mule. A good compromise between strong and light, can take two different sets of wheels. Narrow, tallish, can float across rivers. Maybe a canoe incorporated into the design.

I take it you made the boxes and whatnot great camp its always nice to see the old yet new ways instead of all that nylon is it more comfortable then the yurt or tipi ?well atb ....tom
I really enjoyed this Dave. I like all that you have done here. I would like to see some work done with that pig too. One suggestion about your rifle shelf, hot air rises and condensation will cause rust on your firearms. The side of your cot might provide a better storage location. JMHO. I enjoy all of your excellent presentations Dave. lets use that squirrel cooker more too!
Great stuff, Dave. As always. Would it be possible to do a birds-eye view of the camp layout (birds-eye like from a branch maybe 8 or 10 feet up)? A sort of "floor plan" shot of the different work areas would be really cool to see.
Hi Dave, very nice video. I have a few questions about this woodworking bench, so is it possible if you could please show in a video how to make one of this benches and how one coul use them. That would be phenomenal. :) Thanks, Matthäus
This may have been answered before but what about the ground in terms of keeping it dry. I understand its covered but what about water getting in from around the area?
I love my hunting tent, but yes its permanent, its way to heavy for me to quad it around in the woods, plus I don't hunt yet. I will have to learn to put up tree posts. the aluminum posts for my tent are super heavy,or maybe im just a girl :) I really like the woods work bench, and the wash bowl :)
Would a station for meat preparation and tanning be part of a camp like this, or would that typically be farther away at something like a hunting outpost so animals aren't attracted. Thanks for the awesome tour!
This may seem a silly question. But if this set up is for a home base/long term camp. Would they have built some what of a portable loo to go and have a morning wee or maybe sit and read the paper in comfort?
first I enjoyed u on TV and here was curious about maybe some tips for the physically challenged I personally have bad back and still want to enjoy the outside my questions more on the quick tent or more essential items for lighter backpack hope I'm asking right
It would be amazing if you bought a cheap drone with a camera so you could show us snapshots of entire areas from the air. Just a thought lol have a great weekend Dave, give my best to the pathfinder family.
Great video, glad I came across this, I often watch Survival Lilly, the Austrian girl, she's great, you should check her out if you haven't already. I found the link for your video after one of her's. I miss you on Dual Survivor, that show went downhill after you left, and now its horrible without even Cody. William
Hi Dave, I got an idea while watching your video. You're using a thin board as the top pole for your tent. My idea is about your gun storage. You have two ropes over the top of your tent pole. The tent is made of cotton? Water can drop through soaked canvas, if you have some pressure at a single point. You made two points of pressure to the tents roof. I guess, if you would drill two holes into the roof board/pole, you could avoid this effect. Your gun rack would hang a little bit deeper. If you drill a couple of holes, you could hang other stuff at the pole too: lamps, clothing, etc... Without the risk of dropping water and letting rain run to your hanging stuff. (sorry for my english... I'm talking to you like to an idiot. No offense! I just don't know how to say it in a proper way. I'm no native speaker. I have to keep it simple. Please don't take it personally, this is no attack!) Greetings from Hamburg, Germany, Piet.

I truly enjoy your discussions of history and use. Thank you.
kephart's camping and woodcraft is one fantastic read.

Great Vid Dave, love to see how things were done in the old days.
Very Good...nice functional set-up. Makes me want to take a vacation and live in the woods for a week.
Thanks Dave, always a pleasure.
very interesting video series! looking forward to seeing more. I plan on living in a wall tent for a couple months while building my cabin in Alaska, and I want to know all the tips and tricks on living in one!
That is one fantastic camp Dave, looking forward to the next wall tent video.
I like this new series of knowledge-based woodsdom. very cool. Thanks Dave

loving this series!
Great video! Looking forward to a series of videos.
Thank you for sharing and not a bad price for the tent.
really looking forward to more of this series
Very cool. I could see working out of that base camp for a full season with no problem.
I'm liking this series
as others have stated below.....i'm really loving the new series of videos. keep em coming Dave!!!
Love this series, right my alley. Set up camp, scout, hunt, fish, trap, etc.... Go back to camp.
Love the gun shelf idea. Especially on ropes so it can sway with wind and the tent movement without dumping the guns.
I love these series videos. Very interesting.
Can't wait for the next videos on this series. Good stuff.
man,Dave youve got the greatest job and your good at it
Awesome video, Dave. I love the series, and the camp. I think I'll make myself a little home away from home sometime soon.
In my boy scout time we used to call the tool box "a patroll box" where we kept all the camp tools and the kitchen utensils.
accoutrements... that's what I call them too. What a great video man.
Great series. Thank you.
I can see this concept evolving into constructing a multi-functional wagon. The type where you can have different wheels, making at able to be pulled behind a car ATV or mule. A good compromise between strong and light, can take two different sets of wheels. Narrow, tallish, can float across rivers. Maybe a canoe incorporated into the design.
Looking forward to the video on the camp tool chest.
Very interesting, Dave! Gonna check for different designs of the woodworking bench or the pig, as you called it. Cool stuff!
I hope to can buy one in future...very beatifull tent!
I'd like to see how that wash basin was set up in more detail. Very nice.
I can't wait for the video on the camp tool box. Also would it be possible to do a more in depth look at that wood working station?
Great as always, Dave. Thanks for all you do. I'd love to hear/see more about "the pig" workstation.
Great video. I appreciate you and the information you share. Thanks!
great video Dave

Great vídeo Sir.I really liked this stuff.
Digging the suspenders brother;-). Really enjoying the series.
That is a wonderful spot for firearms since is is warm at the ridge of the tent collects heat and keeps the firearms dry.
Dave, thank you for video...Great video...

“Pathfinder Cribs, if you will.” Amazing! 😂😂😂
love the series keep it up
beautiful camp
More!........Please......

Thanks for sharing!
this is going to be interesting for sure. Where would you store your food? meat etc. Does it need to be away from your camp?

Hey Dave since the new season of Alone is airing can u put together a video on ur choices to bring that are under 50 lbs. that would be cool.
Gratz on hitting 400k subs !

I Dave, do you had make a video on wood workin station? I don't had find..
great video! lots of good info
It would be amazing if you bought a cheap drone with a camera so you could show us snapshots of entire areas from the air. Just a thought lol have a great weekend Dave, give my best to the pathfinder family.
You're the best there is. Thanks. This is a super video.
That was pretty awesome!
Nice! An encampment for extended time periods... great for a hunting camp, or a patrol camp.
Clark
Is that tent waterproof?
Do you think Nessmuk's recipe could work with that kind of fabric?
looks like a good base camp
Great series! More in line with the common man theme you used to talk a lot about...
Great video, glad I came across this, I often watch Survival Lilly, the Austrian girl, she's great, you should check her out if you haven't already.

William
how hard would it be to get a hammock hung between those post without bringing the whole tent down?
Is there anywhere I can see your pole setup for this wall tent?
how do you keep snakes from entering the tent ?
pathfinder cribs...brilliant....smooth
"pathfinder cribs". That would be an awesome tagged topic for your staff and community.
Where you at lucasville trade days?
What is the life span of your tent if left up?
...this is so cool!!!
What size and brand of tent is that one?
Has he shown making a commander and using it?
Damn i love your videos!!!
Great setup for survival or hunting with muzzleloader!
Nice vid mate 👍🏻
Bloody Epic.

Haha pathfinder cribs, my favorite of them all! Don't need a lambo, or a mansion. Just the tools to do it for yourself.
I have missed pathfinder cribs
