bushcraft survival long term wilderness shelter patr 4 of 7 making a raised sack bed.wmv

[@animusauthor]

They're great for damn near everything. I used a little one to replace a broken eyelet on a fishing rod in the field several years ago and the little thing is still on there, and still works just fine.

[@steveo6891]

Those are some of the nicest sticks iv ever seen . All perfect. Awesome video your a very smart man

[@14DFASniper]

Fantastic!! I love your resourcefulness and quality of work. Thanks for sharing.

[@DonnyOutdoors]

Bed looks very comfy. Shelter looking brilliant.

[@codycampbell3562]

I'm so jealous of your surplus of straight trees. All I have is pepper trees. They grow like vines.

[@silentmajor]

Thanks for the input. I've watched a few of these shelter videos now and his is the best structure I've seen :)

[@mariaotero5601]

Wow that's incredible interesting to see how fantastic job kudo's!!

[@indigolifeworks]

I love this..clean and easy enough for a grandma to make...

[@sosteve9113]

indigolifeworks lol.funny

[@BraveTheWilds]

I can't wait until I'm this old survival bushcraft guru and have nothing to do but spend the rest of my days out in the woods building amazing shelters with zipties and sleeping on sacks. (No offense, I'm actually serious!) Thumbs up dude!

[@HarrysComicCamp]

Very Nice Camp! Greetings from Old Germany! Harry

[@twocrow]

I think the lesson here to make this shelter is to always carry a saw blade, a big axe and lots of zip ties. The zip ties are a good idea when pre planned but not practical, most people don't carry a bag of zip ties around with them. But now after seeing this I will add zip ties to the rest of my survival gear I have stored away in my vehicle just in case SHTF as being predicted all over the net, it's one item I haven't thought about.

[@X_explorer]

Amazing vid! I love looking earth, explore and decompress...

[@mariaotero5601]

Awesome bed and pillow!

[@dawnkwasny8056]

excellent shelter. The pillow thought, all I could think of was woot ticks lol

[@12321johndoe]

I like the bed, good idea

[@randypcole]

AWESOME...So now, if I'm ever lost in the woods and someone happened to drop a bunch of burlap sacks, I know how to make a great bed!

[@alzathoth]

nice video. great shelter! :) i guess a guy could just use bailing wire instead of zip ties. ot you could use spruce roots in a pinch. ;)

[@PeterNordBushcraft]

This is a great way to relax and enjoy nature.

[@DominickBlack]

This video definitely upgrades my idea of making a wilderness bed/cot. Where do "you" get those sacks???

[@BraveTheWilds]

Wow. I so wished that I could live in a place where the forest grew the straightest poles you ever seen and are the driest in the world. Did you hear how it sounded when he was pounding in those stakes? Would be great to practice buschraft with those ideal conditions.

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

That is really ingenious!

[@joshuanichols199]

your full of great idea's

[@albooboo2669]

This is really neat to see done.

[@chypres89]

Sacks is genius !

[@69Grunden]

OUTSTANDING!! Looks very comfortable?

[@AmericanSurvival]

Great work! Pretty nice set up..Just gave ya a sub! Thanks for sharing! Be safe....JP.

[@ZackLemonShow]

having leaves in your pillow sounds very comfortable and very quit lol

[@jefferson1232757]

man thats amazing great work

[@bxxj]

boy scout way is to put a blanket under the two sticks and fold them over the top (folded in thirds) the body weight keeps the blanket from coming undone. works for a casualty stretcher as well. tarps work as well

[@joshjameskiwibushman]

nice set up

[@suzettehulin8917]

I would sleep on that bed it looks so comfortable.

[@otakop67]

Brilliant! What kind of sacks did you use (burlap, cloth, nylon,...)?

[@johndolan513]

in Texas we call that a "Fire Ant" pillow.

[@chemicalsweet13]

"marvelous! zzzzzz" lol awesome job.

[@damian2001111111]

great ideas.

[@EvergreenBushcraft]

@rico522 I agree with this, but where im from i could see this shelter working fine because the wind usually blows from one direction. but i would still say a very nice shelter! It seems like it would be more of a home, then just a shelter.

[@nedeljkomostar]

Beautiful!

[@DominickBlack]

You know, there's an easy way to unlock those cable ties so you can reuse them again and again. It's no problem.

[@silentmajor]

How long do you think those zip ties will last? Nice video by the way :)

[@MustObeyTheRules]

I would move the bed back further intO the shelter in case of a storm so you don't get rained on

[@pryzmcat]

I'm curious to know exactly where the sacks came from..I am looking for some to use but want to get a good strong quality..I will probably reinforce the stitching at any rate..but would love to know where to get some real good ones:)

[@RandomTorok]

Adding a bag of zip ties to my grab and go.

Perfect! LG Der Waldläufer

[@twocrow]

A lot more comfortable than laying on the cold ground if you had to survive in the woods for a while.

[@doughnutguy82]

gunny sacks are good for putting a carcass into and hanging it to drain, so that couldbe one reason.

[@BuyMeABrew]

When you say sack, are you referring to something available at the local store? Or where would one find them? Thanks!

[@Aikiaprima]

How many days did it take you to build the whole thing ? Thanks

[@HanaleiSurfrider1]

ingenuity, right there. but I'm a bit skeptical about the zip ties. In freezing conditions, would they become brittle and break, there by, having the shelter break down or apart and like anything else out in the wild, one would need to be vigilant on his construction engineering.

[@Pilgrim041588]

"Marvelous," indeed.

[@TheWaggaBloke]

when your stuffing the pillow keep an eye open for spider's and other bities as they will bites you throght the sack...

[@ArtMadeUnderground]

Wouldn't cedar bows work for the bedding? Or would that impede the heat source? I am use to wigwams. This is a bit different for me.

[@mattfairbrother3298]

where did you get your sacks from as any i have found are to small????

[@forum7148]

whenever im in the woods i never find sacks like that! what tree does it grow off?

[@deepwaterled]

Well done

[@silentmajor]

Oh and I was thinking that a role of rebar tie wire would accomplish the same thing, be stronger and last longer, just a thought.

[@EgholmViking]

i would have never thought of zip-ties and while my primitive side tells me not to, i would totaly get a pack of them in my survival gear..

[@BushcraftQuebec]

tired to bring cot around good job

[@neilsdahlberg1323]

Shelter ingredients zippy ties burlap sacks and dead trees--Ah--just like home

[@indigolifeworks]

buy bags of rice and you can get them or go to a feed store

[@HanaleiSurfrider1]

"ingenuity, right there. but I'm a bit skeptical about the zip ties". Sir. This was my opening statement, ment with complete sincerity. My only concern was with the zip ties, and how long they would last. Seeing that you've been offended with my concerns, have your Zip Ties lasted over the entire decade of your Shelter that you built and shown on KZbin.

[@Slimpickins71]

feed supply stores city boy....country raised makes an sharp mind

[@NewJura]

hell yes!! bushcraft with zip ties!!

[@FueledByTyeler]

only thing i would change is moving the bed back further to stay dry

[@themattclean]

Listen to the fly landing on the mike at 1:42. YES!!!

[@leonsmith5859]

its called burlap. its been being used for centuries.

[@weedlawdaG]

all over the time i thought he open his head with his axe......... with so much wood u can make a quik and easy hammer without danger 4 your head and face

[@XxxFlameBoy651xxX]

@DominickBlack There just regular patatoe sacks with the bottom cut off so you can slip the poles through

[@born68]

I could'nt use a bag full of dried leaves as a pillow. every time I moved my head while I was sleeping it would sound like a bag of potatos chips in my ear

[@mryellow123]

@antoad1 hessian sacks are often treated with kerosene (and even DDT), you can dig them up after 50 years and will still not be rotten, though in the case of DDT, they'll be toxic forever.

[@thegrinninfin]

@theswimer419 - Use a knife to and push the latch up. It is a pain in the ass, but they're reusable. Don't crank down on them, and it's easier to undo then as the latch doesn't dig in as much. It doesn't work for the metal latch kind, as they're specifically to dig into the plastic. If you do want to reuse them, you can always cut them off and use them on something smaller.

[@oblivionboy1]

where do you live it looks like minnesota

[@jkd185]

nice.

[@MrNodrog3000]

Every time he used the ax as a hammer I thought the head was gonna fly off of it

[@tecnolover2642]

@sneakyninja273 He did say (in part 3 I believe),, that the space under the bed was for hot rocks,, so insulation in the bed would not be a good idea as it would block the heat and keep it from his body.

[@Spenzies]

Nice but you've forgotten to mention e

[@Spenzies]

Mention the three days it took you to collect all the straight branches of equal diameter.

[@Nikita4ever7000]

Holy Smokes! What did you guys say to Toesuck to set him off?

[@crooksidewood]

with my luck I'd have every kind of spider in the woods in my pillow !!

[@thenightmare485]

this guy's voice reminds me of magneto from xmen

[@nicholodion]

What do you call a man with leaves in his bed? Rustle

[@PabloAlonzo48]

Are these regular potato sacks ? Where can I find this type of sack please and thank you

[@butterlord338]

+PabloAlonzo48 You can find them super cheap through this link: www.commercialsupplyhq.com/m7/BB3648--36-x-48-burlap-bag.html The burlap sack he used in this video is very narrow and only suitable for someone of a slender build, if you're a bigger guy or you just prefer a wider bed I would recommend the one in this link. However, the website offers hundreds of different sizes at extremely low prices (just a few dollars)

[@raxlsounds]

Welshyy:D!

[@Thor_Underdunk_Caballerial]

@PlasmaEnthusiast Sometimes my sack sticks to my pole in a weird way and it makes sleeping a bit awkward

[@sethmiller12345]

what if i wan't to put the pillow on the other end of the bed

[@pimpnprofits]

I thought this was a survival video. Didn't you hear the plane?

[@vertfreak09]

for long term beds and convenience.

[@RDPproject]

Shelter, Bed, Pillow.... 5* Buchcraft accomodation.....

[@relicright]

1:40 , The fly is also Interested in learning this video.

[@bridgeofsmoke]

Nice, if you want to be Robinson Crusoe. This would be an all day build. Maybe as a semi-permanent hunting camp, but as a survival shelter? Not practical. IMHO

[@ClearAdventure]

That's why the series is titled LONG TERM survival shelter.

[@greenhorns99]

bring sacks even

[@f7ostnova750]

i hate lean tos but i love wikiups

[@RDPproject]

@nickagillie lol....yeah. Stick hot stones underneath you...you'd sleep well warm thru the night.

[@MarkMcCartney]

I hope to Christ there's a B&Q open when the apocalypse hits.

[@cren567]

It would be a shame if you LEAF your pillow at home ;D

[@milldabeast519]

@Serpico261 because there more convenient....

[@chadallen9140]

I think I would have put it a little farther back. If it was to rain his but is soaked.

[@BillHinson]

@agil24 read up on BUSHCRAFT. And he is only using dead wood to build with You need to think and read up before you type out your rants. By removing and using the dead standing wood it reduces the risk and chance of forest fires, and by not bringing in a tent and a lot of other useless crap you leave a much smaller footprint, use what is there around you try it who know you may like it.

[@theswimer419]

@DominickBlack tell us how then.

[@bushcraftbasel2056]

Are you still alive? I miss your new videos.
