Enjoyed watching this video. Just wondering why you don't pack in a 20' x 30' tarp to cover your whole camp to help keep it dry and give you more room to store dry firewood? I figure you will probably say smaller tarps are lighter to pack in and take up so much less room, but If rolled properly and packed in a compression bag you could get a few different sized tarps in one compression bag and the 20' x 30' tarp would make your setup much faster and a much more comfortable camp. Last time I set one up I did it for my grandkids and I believe it was a little bigger than a 20' x 30' and I used about 10' on the length to drop a lean to for them to bed up under. The tarp also covered a fire pit a large log for them to sit on, on the side of the pit away from the lean to. I had put a couple of grommets in a few places down the center of the tarp before setting it up for them so that I could use a few tall saplings to help form a water runoff peak. They camped in it over the weekend and I asked them to help me break it down they begged me to leave it up a while longer. Wound up in my woods setup for around four months before I took it down. Mind you I only have five acres three of which are woods and all fenced in and my home is on the rest. My grand kids really loved to camp out there because they felt safe within the fence and a minute away from PAPA's house. They are all grown up now but every once in awhile they ask if I remember setting up the Big camp for them, and letting them make a campfire. Good memories, even if we didn't go far.

Hi guys I'm a bit of an odd bird who has certain mental proclivities that are a pain in the ass, and one of the things I have 'issues'' with is eating. I had got to the point where I was pretty much not eating at all [I've had times where I don't eat for months, But anyway I was on one of these fasts when I saw your post where you two are making steak with a dipping sauce, and it reminded me that steak is all I really like to eat, and is what I mainly ate through my childhood, My uncle who brought me Up was a wonderful guy an ex marine who taught me lots, and who used to say I ate like a snake, Well anyway I have been shy to make videos so far but I wanted to say thanks to you both for getting me back to eating again, I have been eating steak regularly for months now and It is a life saver, literally so I wanted to say thank you Every time I watch you guys I feel I should say thanks, well now I have, Thanks Guys.

Brilliant stuff again, and the element of simple but good cooking is a boost to the posts. I saw that you both wondered about the weather a few times, so here is something you might like to practice and use; Stand with your back to the wind. Look directly up above you to the clouds. If the clouds are moving directly away from you or directly towards you or the clouds are still, the weather will change very little. If the clouds move from left to right the weather will get worse. If the clouds move from right to left the weather will get better(With thanks from the Scouts & Army)

Greetings from the Boy Scouts of Greece Lovely setup and mouth-watering food I suppose the shelter could be described as a Europeanised wigwam. Also, a stone or mud screen at the base of the heat reflector works wonders against the spread of fire. I understand the Leave no trace behind ethic but In my own humble opinion when a structure is safe and 100% biodegradable, just as the frame of your shelter was, it should be left behind. It could prove useful to another camper who has to set up a shelter eg. under adverse weather. Very well done Cheers

Almost a year late to comment. A tip next time you eat a FIG. It should be ripe that means when you press the fig should be soft and squishy. Always wash the fig because you can eat the skin, now open the fig and examine inside at the bottom-end. LOOK for anything moving like little white worms moving about if nothing moving only then you should eat the whole fig and the flavor is smooth like honey. I don't know if the little worms are harmful or full of goodness but it does put me off eating.

Watched the whole thing while I made two hiking sticks. Really enjoyed learning how to make this shelter and all the food. Always enjoy the learning about how to cook outdoors. Thanks for a great video. We have some epic forests here in New Hampshire Mountains. Google Image search Peterborough New Hampshire if you get the chance. Cheers

When log long use lever action and snap between 2 close standing trees not need to saw, only a 2 second effort and snap log and when shorter and cannot snap then saw to length. Good video that reminds of trips I did when a yong fella, but will have to go again now, I almost forgot how much I enjoyed the trips. Cheers from Australia

I love the way you go about these videos. I always feel like I am there with you, you let nature usually speak for itself, having shots of the environment and the outdoors, with just birdsong, rain or wind. You intersperse with informative comment. I never feel condescended to. Like having a lovely trip out from your own home

Truly enjoy your videos here in central British Columbia, Canada. Bears are a bit of an issue here for some of the survival shelters, but the recipes are awesome You were talking tea three for a bit. Try Lady Grey tea. Almost the same flavor as Earl Grey, but more mellow. No matter how long you steep it for. Cheers
