Great job with your illustration. It’s something I showed to my Facebook friends. That when a SHTF situation that titanium stood is a game changer with a cheap tarp. Great job. 👏 SEMPER FI
Wrap a fireblanket around the chimney. Use A-frame configuration on tarp and close around the fire blanketed area of the chimney wrap. No stove jack needed 😊
How do you determine which direction to set up your tarp if you're in an area such as the one I live in where the wind is constantly changing direction? I use the method you do, dropping leaves to determine the wind direction but what I've found is the wind direction changes every 30 seconds or so. I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains and around here that's a real issue.
Damn Autocorrect Appalachian(s) are the mountain range an Appellation is a name or title of something or someone. There are Tarp configurations that are more enclosed
Where do you go where you are allowed to do stuff like chopping down trees for wood and such, like is it private property or is there like some places where people are allowed to chop down trees and stuff, oh also great vid, I sometimes have trouble following tutorials and such but you managed to break it down in a way that even I could easily understand, good job.
Hi! I am not sure about the rules in Greece. I would check out the ham radio regulations for your country. For us here in the U.S. arrl.org is a great resource.
I camp with people who modify their tarps into portable structures. The applicable part for this video would be careful grommet removal, Gorilla taping across the hole, (both in line with the weave and on the diagonals,) then hole punching and adding a sturdy steel grommet. This should be done at any point under high stress. Criss-crossing where the rocks are would also improve the longevity. Both sides is best if the rocks are sharp or abrasive, or if the tarp will be flapping a lot
Gordon! What a great video! That stove looks phenomenal! I really liked the cinematography of setting up the shelter!
Thanks so much dude!

Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful!
Nice setup
Thank you!
Hi, i am a new boy scout. I will show my entire troop this its so interesting!!👍
I love your content
gordon
Thanks, glad you like it! Hope your troop has fun watching it.
Thank you so much, Gordon!
Great video, I tried making a tarp shelter once, it did not turn out well, I might try this one
Thanks! Yeah, give it a try sometime. I really like how it’s fairly easy to pitch and doesn’t feel like it’s too low.
I love your tarp ideas, I like tour exp. But the stove... well...

How long of tarp
I really like a 12’ X 14’ tarp for this type of shelter. 10-15 mils thick. Thanks for watching!

You can tie a guy line to the top loop and wrass it to a tree, peg down the front two corners and you have a mini plow point/tarp tent hybrid

@@markfogarty-young6509 i got the DD Hammocks Tarp, HEAVILY recommended
Really love your content👍
Much appreciated!

Wish I had someone down to earth like you to camp with. Nice tarp idea and great explanation of every step.
Thank you! 🤓
Neat idea!
Hey gordon iam 14 years old and i asked for a ham radio ilive in Greece Europe

@@grimgranite Could you make a video on simple shelters? I’ve always wanted to build a shelter, but I just decided to act on it.
Could you do a Mylar blanket and tee pee fire
I always thought this dude just made goofy shorts
There’s actually some pretty cool stuff here
That’s my plan… hook ‘em with the goofy shorts 🩳. Thanks for watching!

This is excellent info, totally agree. Gorilla tape is a must have!
Plow point? What's a plow point? Do show ;)
Dang! I knew I should have put the Broll of the plow point in this video! 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for watching!
👍
First
All you done was set up a tarp then a stove outside. Not sure but I think ANYBODY could do that.
You should start a RUclips channel then! 😂
