    Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
    Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
    I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

      Well, six years later? Told you from the start, Polyethylene shower curtains are awesome for the build. Glad you built one! Ive been using it for about eight years with my hammock build in similar conditions, but I do go with a roll of food grade plastic from a restaurant supplier, and throw up a quick cheap low outer six foot wind barrier around the trees to hold out wind too. You can get those rolls 24 inch by thousands of feet at 1mil for thirty to forty dollars on the high end with shipping. BUT! I want to let you know about a new material to replace the more costly reflector tarps: AND for real housing use too: NASA grade reflective and fiber enforced roll sheeting.
      Check out RadiantGUARD ULTIMA Radiant Barrier Insulation. This stuff is a massive increase on retention and reflection, not to mention RF signals and health issue buildings. Love the video.

    My dad had a similar tent. He had a lumber tarp from my flatbed semi over everything.it was a large thick rubberish tarp. So he had made a overhang type porch. Like a lean to. He made a small fire far enough away left the front of the tent opened to have the heat inside. He had 2 American Bulldogs and a beagle. The wind shifted direction and got the edge of the tarp on fire. He had all his camping gear out there. He was at home in the farming country in Indiana. He made the tent by a pond about 250 yards from the house. Ok now the tarp caught fire. He was sleeping hard. He had a few adult beverages you could say. It was a cold fall night just him and the dogs all cuddled up. Once the rubber tarp was burning it started dripping molten rubber onto his clothing. He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over. Splotchy type. Just a bunch of random drips of burning rubber and plastic. The roar of the fire and burning didnt wake him. The smoke was increasing by this point. The beagle and male bulldog Got scared and ran to the house and started barking we assume to wake my mother up. There both in there late 50s. Mom didnt wake cause the dogs normally barked. The female bulldog sadie didmt leave his side. Barking nudging and licking dad. He finally woke up and the tent had fallen all over him he managed to cut the back open and climb out. He was in shock. Walked all the way to the house and woke mom up and said I think I screwed up still not realizing how badly he was burnt. Sadie had burns as well. She saved my dad that day. She was my gift to my parents after I went through a divorce and i didmt want to leave the puppy with the ex. It took my dad 9 or 10 months and some skin grafts to recover. Lots of pain he said. Sadie is still there and dad doesnt go to sleep with a fire anymore. It took him a couple months after healing to camp again against my moms orders lol. He learned a valuable lesson. He uses fire resistant materials when making a homemade tent now. I hope this wasnt too long. Thank god for sadie saving my father that night. It was back in 2015. Dad and the 3 dogs still camp by the pond but with no fires now .. thanks for the time to share!

      @jeschinstad 3 года назад +2

      @@archiesmith5028: I've made one, though mine was made for less snowy conditions, so it's much lighter. It's made from 0.4mm clear construction plastic and mylar, both of which have really impressive tensile strenth. I didn't use any tape or other adhesive, but only buttons and twine and paracord for tarp loops and to tie it up. It works really great. Weighs just over 200g and cost "nothing". Maybe $20usd in total. It is a bit noisy though. But for an extremely cheap, extremely light tent that works so well, I think that's an acceptable compromise. :) You have to be very careful with it, though, because although it has high tensile strength, if you poke it, it will immediately rip and it's over. So I don't think it'll last forever, but it was a fun project. It wasn't difficult.

I've ridden from sea to sea and Mexico to Alaska over the last 50 years and 95% of it involved putting up a tent and making my own meals. I say this because your experience helps me when I'm on two wheels as well as 4 or out on the water. Sending along my thanks and respect Lonnie.

    Best tent I ever had was one I made from a tarp...no poles, just guy lines, 10 feet long by about 6 feet wide, about 4 foot peak at entrance end and 2 foot peak and rear. I just cut, glued and sewed the seams...sewn reinforcements on stress areas...whole tent with pegs weighed less than a pound. Vents built into the peak at the rear, vented all down the sides that can be blocked off by velcroing the floor to the top. This design of yours is just perfect for cold weather camping and is making me want to build another tarp tent.

Had no watch. No flashlight. Smoke coming into my eyes. That thing you sleep beneath the fire. So smoke wont rise and get to you. Hadn't figured that one out. Was on a lil shelf. Looked good to me. Idiotic. Have the fire 20 or 30 cm higher than urself. Make like a big stair on a slope. An a frame. Dakota firehole. A tarp. Stuff a sack with branches from spruce. Insolation. I might try again. Who knows. People fleeing all over the world. Good practise. Great upload! Thx man! Very impressive!

    I’ve watched a video of someone who put a little 6” dryer ducting underneath the sleeping area partially on a slope and buried the pipe underneath where his feet 🦶 would be, eventually the heat dissipation absorbs into the dirt and raises up into the inside of the tent 🏕 and the heat might retain long enough to last overnight, if you’re lucky 🍀. Good luck 🍀 and blessings for your innovation.

Oklahoma gets hot more than it gets cold. Front door additions are several turkey cooking bags opened up and inserted as "Windows" I'm hoping they will handle the heat better than a shower curtain. I'm having fun building it and all the tarps were free from Harbor Freight. Cost = $3 bag of grommets $3 for turkey bags and a roll of Duct Tape!

      Sad to say but the coldest day so far this year has been 48.
      I’m intrigued to know what-50 feels like! I certainly would take the cold any day vs 100% Humidity in 110* shade!!! ☃️

    Lonnie, looks like this tent might last you several years. The only thing I've found with those types of tarps is that they don't hold up well in sunlight. UV destroys them pretty fast. I'm impressed with this, you have given me some ideas for one of my own. I was going to make one out of canvas.....still might. If nothing else, this would be a cheaper trial tent. Change anything I don't like before cutting up expensive canvas.

      Muskrat Thought: a couple of opaque sheets of visquean on top might protect the setup from UV. Worth experimenting with!

    • @MuskratOutdoors
      @MuskratOutdoors 6 лет назад +2

      It sure might work. I buy the cheaper type tarps also, Lonnie said in the video that he made awhile back making this tent, he bought the better quality tarps. That could make a lot of difference! I idn't figure there was much difference other than price, but maybe there is.

      Muskrat I know being from Europe,that the tarps have a life span of approximately 3years they are degrading slowly
      Mainly trough uv sunlight like you mention
      There are tarps on the market who does not have this effect but also most costly

      有个更省钱的法子:有一种农业用防滴保温棚薄膜,一面是黑色,一面是银色……
      好处:
      1、便宜
      2、各种尺寸几乎都有
      3、耐用,抗老化,即便在强紫外线地区长时间日晒雨淋或者长期高温(50摄氏度)使用,也能用好几年(最少36个月),而普通塑料制品(尤其室内用品)很容易老化变脆碎裂
      4、防滴,一旦室内水汽上升至膜形成水滴,不会直接滴下来,而是顺着膜流至最低处落下,可以保证大部分室内面积上不滴水,便于保持干燥……
      5、无毒,必要时候可以用来提取饮用水
      另外,这种薄膜实际强度还是比较高的,两层膜中间支撑间隔30cm到40cm,30厘米的雪没问题……
      经验浅薄,说错勿怪……

    Now this is using common sense to heat inside of your tent! So glad you kept it outside of the tent and didnt put it inside like some people try to do lol! Thank you for this. Very helpful. Would probably help containt the fire if you used rocks. I'm so tempted to try this. Lol

    Thats a cool setup Lonnie! I have some materials for a smaller supershelter-type laying around, and had some plans to put it together this winter. But have not done that yet. I bought some clear vinyl for the front, something I now understand was stupid of me. I have to look for the stuff you got. The vinyl got super hard just in the backseat of my car on my way home from the store.
    I was planning of sewing it together, and then seal the seams with tape. What do you think? Any experience with sewing tarps?

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  6 лет назад +1

      I personally have not sewn tarp but I do know that it works well. Every Fall I stay in a sewn Tarp Wall Tent made from poly tarps that a friend of mine made. He sewed his tarp together rather than use tape like I do. His shelter works very well also and has held up for quite a few years now with only our once a year use of it. However, once I have used a heavy duty tape such as Gorilla or T-Rex tape applied on a new tarp at room temperature, I have never had any seam separation even without sewing. My tarp tipi hot tent has even withstood a windstorm that damaged signs and other things in the towns of South Central Alaska and teh seams are still just like new. Many many years ago I heard a story of someone who made a sail for their high performance ice sled. They glued and sewed the poly tarps and the tarps held up well. I do not know what adhesive they used though. I would guess it would have been some sort of contact adhesive.

    That is really something. Basically, you have created a foil chip bag for yourself. It doesn't take much heat to keep from freezing, but reflective heat is where it's at.

    Nice Baker's tent, so well made! Enjoyed the tour with the new peva front cover. Am wondering how peva burns when put to a match and if it bounces sparks off without leaving a hole. That's doubtful but peva looks sturdier than the poly and those questions came to mind. Take care and all the best to you, Connie, Buck and family from Peace Country, B.C.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  6 лет назад +5

      Thanks. I have not tried to light any PEVA to see how well it burns if at all but I do know that the poly tarp will burn if in contact with a flame. My PEVA got too hot during the video since I had too big of a fire too close to the tent. The PEVA gets hot. The wrinkle you can see in the PEVA in the video is a welded section of too hot PEVA that had got folded when I opened the shelter to go out. Where it was folded, it welded it self to itself. That is why I said in the video to build the fire smaller and further back as i could see that after the mods, not near as much heat was required.

    • @tallcedars2310
      @tallcedars2310 6 лет назад

      That's interesting how it didn't melt and separate, only welded together. Noticed there were no holes in the PEVA which made it look like sparks might be bouncing off, although I imagine you used deciduous wood that throws very few sparks. PEVA appears to be tough stuff and looks like it might be good material for this purpose, thanks Lonnie.

    Fire blankets could protect some parts of such tent. They are relatively heavy to be carried in a backpack, but they certainly don't catch fire. They would work as heat reflectors too. It's hard to know when they would be needed in certain structure, but at least they could protect gear from sparks in open shelters.

    • @Paratrooper12100
      @Paratrooper12100 5 лет назад

      Be careful of the fire blanket you use.
      Alot of it has ALOT of fibres
      (Almost fibreglass) and they can represent a respiratory hazard.

  • @barrymayson2492

    Brilliant video follow up from the tent video the shower curtain is a great idea. It looked thicker than the white sheet stuff and maybe less likely to get small burn holes from flying ash.
