First of all I want to say that I agree with you about the saw being impossible to make in a survival situation Dean. It's too bad that you didn't bring that up in the debate. It would have swayed my judgement in your favor. Too late now brother. Becky won and she gets the trophy. LOL! (Actually , I won!) That debate was spectacular! I had a blast listening to you guys. Very cool my friend. I also want to tip my hat to Angela and tell her that I am very happy to see that she is back in good health, looking as lovely as ever and having fun again. I have watched many of David's video's but I must have missed the one that he made this bunk. It most definitely is an awesome bunk setup in so many ways that it makes my head spin. There is a trick that you can use in placing the teepee legs before installing the bunk that will give you the perfect height without doing much adjustment. You are going to laugh when I say this. After putting the sleeves for the bunk onto the logs, lay it on the ground and cut a stick that fits inside the two bunk rails. This is now going to be your measuring stick to use while spreading your tripod legs. It would be easier to show in a video but I don't have that ability at this time. (Example) If you wanted it waist high. Spreading the supporting legs while holding the stick at your waist, you could adjust them so the stick reaches the outer edges while holding it waist high. When sliding the bunk rails onto the tripod legs they will squeeze tight in that same spot. It's not perfect because of ground level variations but I think you know what I mean. Dude! This video was so full of so much awesome stuff that I would have to write a book just to show how much I loved it. Thanks for being you Dean. You are Awesome !

Hay Dean, I want to give a Giant wave to Angela and thank her for being the guiding light that has nurtured the mind and soul of two Spectacular daughters. May the both of you live to a ripe old age and keep sharing your family comradery and your comradery with nature. You guys ROCK! You and Becky come up with excellent debates on your own. I love them brother. I do however have a request or even a challenge if you prefer to look at it as such. Becky was just sent a new pot to test out. My request is that you guys put that pot through as much heck as you put the Kelly Kettle through. Afterword's, You could share your difference in opinions about your conclusions on which one you would want. That would be very interesting and fun!

seen these set ups and they are a great for practice and very useful , even the same principles for a sitting bench or tables... for bedding just add dry leafs in between the tube to make it more insulated from the cold air hitting your back when laying down... can make the "tube" out of a 10x10 tarp by wrapping / folding it around and around the 2 sticks evenly in a emergency !.... thanks for your videos!.... I would rather have a folding saw than a axe too, if I only had 1 tool to take!

Found this excellent video searching for tripod projects. Wasn’t I surprised when shortly into it you’d taken off your hat. Are you a prematurely grey 40yo, or a 60yo with a young face? I’m the latter, lol. I just spent the last three days in the woods collecting limbs for new projects. This time of year is fantastic. No underbrush, you can see all the deadfall. Summer is pretty, late fall through early spring is a lot more fun. New subscriber and thanks for the work it takes to produce these videos. I’ll be looking at many of yours.

With regards to primitive cultures not having the ability to make saws, I point you to these sites: oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2015/04/ , www.tapatalk.com/groups/paleoplanet69529/using-stone-tools-t4718.html , and altereagle.com/history-of-carpentry-prehistoric.html Knapping stone to create a serrated edge predates iron. Primitive cultures were quite adept at making stone tools.
