Hi guys. Title says it all.
I have al the theory but no experience with this so please share your thoughts, experiences and knowledge. Of course I'm talking about the shelter with the green house effect.
My doubts:
-Does it have to be a seald ployethylen bubble or can you f.e. make a lean to and line the back of it with mylar and drape the frond with clear sheath?
-If you have enough material to create sealed bubble wouldn't you suffocate? How is the ventilation going if the whole idea is to keep the warm air inside?
-Does the front material have to be clear or just thin enough for the IR to go through? I carry a SOL blanket in my PSK and a small ultra silnylon tarp which is thin to be almost see through. Or can you use £1 disposable poncho for example?
-How sealed does it have to be? Can you have one side made from debris? What about burning small holes etc?
-any ideas for the polyethylen sheet? Builders stuff would be too bulky/heavy for PSK, I know painters foil is too fragile for anything outdoorsy... I know cuben fiber would be your best option cause you have tarp that can be used in a Supershelter, but the price...
Going on holiday and I won't have time to experiment myself for some time so any thoughts would be much appriciated.
