shelter

I'm not paid to write this. I'm just into bushcraft AND wanting to practice my English (don't hesitate to correct me, it would help and won't be seen as patronizing. Thanx). Official page with some useful informations https://www.onetigris.com/tentsformer-poncho-shelter.html Preliminary...

I have to admit to liking playing with ideas. Sometimes one idea's look-see will see you off on a tangent elsewhere :D . One idea tangent had turned up something the user(s) termed a Von Reck Shelter ~ original idea found here. It utilises four shelter halves formed into a square and is...

I am not a great fan of tents. In my youth I used canvas tents, & I have slept in an army tent, but I prefer to be able to see what or who is outside, & I like to be able to use & access a fire for warmth in winter & for cooking & making tea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUHU1WgLjbA

In May 2013 we had an idea to build a woodland shelter, as a base to practice bushcraft. We found a great secluded woodland which we'd visited a few times before and began the build. The design was just improvised on the day, and it turned out to be quite a large shelter. Over the months we...

Interesting new tarp/shelter on the Borah Gear site, not for me but thought it might appeal to some on here (Images from Borah Gear site) http://www.borahgear.com/borahgami.html Matt

I am searching for a great tarp for making shelters. I do not do hammocking. I want something that i can make alot of different shelter setups. I would use a rigdeline so attach points along the middle would be nice, generally just many attach points for different type of shelters. I would...

I have just completed a little project. I took an offcut of an IPK and cut it into a triangle. I added webbing corners that were riveted. On to these I attached shock cord with plastic hooks on the end. The upshot is an end that will provide extra coverage at the front of ends of a tarp. So, no...

OK ... I is iggerant ... will someone tell me what (if any) are the differences between a tarp basha hootchie and are there yet more terms for the things?

The nest of the grey-flecked elm-pollarder: I'm not sure how to classify it - wickiup, debris shelter? There's no trick photography involved: the structure is just as you see it, made up of snedded stems no thicker than a finger. It sits over the stone-lined hole that we cover with a...

Went to my wood today, to clear up the branches that broke off the Scotts Pines with the weight of the snow. Took the larger pieces for my Woodburner, but used the smaller bits to start on Phase I of my hide and hopefully to be regular shelter. The ground level drops away behind the branches...

Been on another forum related more to walking hiking and backpacking. There was a thread where there were a lot of, in my eyes, unfounded negative comments about the use of tarps. Granted midges are a problem but you can get very light bug nets these days that go over the opening of your...

Hi I don't know If I've shared this document before. a couple of years ago I was playing with my tarp and found a way of making it into a single pole dome tent and wrote it down! Here's what it looks like: here's how it's done(sorry, I don't have exact measurements): enjoy!
