    Did you know flat white paint reflects light better than mylar? I don't know about heat, but it would stand to reason given heat in that case is radiated, as is light. I had recycled chip packets to make a grow house for my plants to get them started indoors in. And a nerdy friend of mine told me the above, and suggested I use flat white paint on another to test the two. Absolutely drastic difference. It's because flat white refracts evenly where as shiny mylar merely 'lenses' the heat into various hotspots many not on target, missing plants entirely, and squandering entire foot sized areas of space.

    I like the shelter for moist areas to get up off the ground and usually there are lots of small tree in a swampy area. Thanks for the high tech wigwams like shelters! Please do a video on your simple northern leanto with a weaved bed of spruce.

    Thanks for sharing Mors. If you had additional time/resources perhaps adding a second wall would provide an insulating layer of air between external transparent plastic and the inner layers. The air space between the walls would provide insulation similar to the snow of an igloo. If the outer layer were transparent it would act like a greenhouse to trap the warm air.

    I've seen the top part done in many variations to suit material availability and environment, I've heard them referred to as tinkers shelters in parts of Ireland and Britain, roofing it with birch bark is a solution or if the branches are woven tight enough many things left behind by our throw away society can be used to roof it. The idea of making an off the floor base thats semi moveable and a framework to stretch the branches into is ''Super'', you can move the entrance towards the sun and out of the wind in cold weather or the whole shelter into shade in a hot environment, simple, brilliant! In the fairly near future I want to try to put an improvised British army field cooker (WW1 & 2 era) into the mobile version of this shelter with as little metal as possible in the construction as this could be a better solution in some situations and I just want to see if it can be done.

    Cody Lundin built a shelter like this on the first episode of Dual Survival. It was filmed during winter on the eastern coast of Nova Scotia. Does anyone know whether anyone sells a tarp or other material that is reflective on its inner side like mylar AND is impermeable like polyethylene on the other side? Sort of like an over-sized, pyramid-shaped reusable space blanket.

    This is a great video! It has a wealth of knowledge and is delivered by a prestigious woodsman in a great format - subbed, liked, commented! ;)
    [rant] Also, just because I'm a little OCD with math -- @ 10:45 -- he said there's 18 sleeping platforms, but moments later he says there are 4 alcoves with *about* 6 each, this would be *about* 24 platforms. So perhaps 4 alcoves with *about* 5 each, which is closer to 20 platforms, would be more accurate of an over-under... the numeral 20 is closer to 18 than 24. [/rant]

    • @0Plants0
      @0Plants0 8 лет назад +2

      +reflexreaction its safe to say that the igloo shape was less because of snow dripping and more because of structural integrity. the arch shape makes an efficient and strong structure

    • @3nertia
      @3nertia 7 лет назад

      They don't really drip. As I understand it, the heat from your body melts a thin layer on the inside (as the sun does on the outside) which then refreezes due to the thermal mass (there's more cold than not) which creates an insulating barrier. As long as there's snow outside, the shelter will be fine

    Sorry I just can't see what's "super" about this. It's a basic shelter anyone handy with their hands could construct, with various ideas of using modern materials to seal it from the weather. Without the modern materials you could use wattle and daub, mud, clay or even cattle dung - things that have been used for hundreds of years.

    • @novascotiahomesteading455
      @novascotiahomesteading455 9 лет назад +3

      "... various ideas of using modern materials to seal it from the weather". Thats what makes it super. The concept of using the modern material to hold in body heat or other sources of heat for a covering is what makes it a super shelter compared to a lean-to that's open to the elements and dependant on a constant fire being tended all night. You'd be surprised how many can't make a shelter well enough to survive in.
