I brought one of those Individual Protection Kits and decided to get my son to have ago at making a shelter.

Just a cautionary note, IPK kits are lead coated to the best of my knowledge so perhaps safest to ensure hands are washed before eating after handling these kits?
That's a quality video.
I love the repeated references to "don't you dare put that on the Bushcraft Forums".
By the way - what was the distraction in the background?
... Has anyone got a definitive answer surely there must be some specs somewhere?
Right got the single size tarp made from the IPK, firstly I made the center loop to big, secondly the tarp is not very easy to fold. Stiff fabric but cheap. Still it will do for my son or misses
I have handled many IPK sheets whilst making Overhead Protection in trench systems and if there was lead involved I could expect to have a residue visible on my hands.
