Building a Plastic Wrap Shelter and Sleeping in it (Heavy Rain) | Solo Overnight

[@harrypeterson9287]

My great uncle said a technique like this was actually employed by guys in Vietnam in a pinch to set up a quick temporary camp. Apparently, it was an olive drab colored saran wrap type material that came on big 3 foot long rolls for securing items stacked on pallets and whatnot. At the bottom they'd have it a little long creating a flap to cover with dirt helping keep snakes, spiders and other nasty critters away.

Very interesting! I’ll have to research that for version 2

Because theres not already enough plastic in the world, why not lol

Don’t worry the plastic did not go to waste 😇

Awesome video but as your in Australia i was expecting a 4 foot long spider to turn up or huge snake😂 Keep up the amazing content buddy.

@@lordgibbington luckily they stayed away this night 😅

I would rather just bring a tent less work and less garbage to pack out. But the video was well worth the watch, good job and CHEERS:)

[@aventuraaustralia]

Gotta switch things up once in a while, also the roll of plastic was a lot cheaper than a tent 😅

[@zarkovukelic9502]

@@aventuraaustralia don't get me wrong, I loved your try at using a roll of plastic to make a shelter . That really got my attention and I enjoyed this video. Good job and CHEERS:)

[@toddyp1115]

Nice work if to layer down logs on the bottom you could on make a neat lean too

[@aventuraaustralia]

Definitely going to consider that for my next one

[@michealrisky]

You should use the plastic for clothes as well

[@aventuraaustralia]

I was already using it as underwear so maybe next time I’ll do a shirt as well

[@catseyes2334]

I think I would use a simple backpacking tent still - but use the shrink wrap to make a floor/base for the tent and a roof/rainfly and that hammock sounds cool also a clothes line to dry things came to mind. You could even make something to protect wood in case of an event like you experienced.

[@aventuraaustralia]

Great idea, version 2 will have a lot of improvements

you created how much plastic waste for one night?

[@aventuraaustralia]

I would argue that the plastic was not wasted 😎
