CAMPING IN RAIN under a self made shelter.

solo camping under this bushcraft shelter I made from a sheet made to protect mild steel from bad weather.
winter camping can be hard work because we are working against the weather.
I would not say my shelter comes under a survival shelter or a bushcraft survival shelter or even a primitive technology skilled building shelter.
As you can see within my video, I make a simple shelter to keep the rain off me.

no need to put holes in the tarp, just find a round stone or acorn and wrap tarp around it then tie the cord around it, makes a great fastening with no holes needed . its what they used in the stone age

[@robertboltonstaystrong]

Yea bad move if the weather turns!

[@jim321go4]

The stone age and the acorn age.

There’s an ancient feeling that when you’re in any shelter and it’s raining it makes you feel so content and relaxed in a shelter. It’s an ancient sense that we have.

I prefer this type of camping over watching videos that are polished in terms of editing, lighting, and gear, making everything appear brand new and unused. Good job, mate!

[@englishwoodsman]

Awesome, thank you!

[@victoria7105]

Nice sound of rain on the tarp👍👍

[@amigodawn1728]

Don't rip the plastic, it will just tear in the wind. Find a pebble, rap corner of plastic around the pebble and then you tie the rope over the plastic around the pebble.

[@MrAustina35]

Hi Dan, I was going to make the same comment re. a pebble or a small piece of wood, It doesn't weaken or damage the sheet. An entertaining video if a bit different from your usual stuff The phone video footage was ok.

[@marcusfridh8489]

I was about to suggest the same thing

[@amigodawn1728]

@@marcusfridh8489 Great minds think alike.

[@awotnot]

193 Glad the pebble idea was cited. I would put the ridge line high because I prefer a hammock. Fix the tarp to one side of the ridge two - feet off centre and use a second tarp. That would give nine odd feet clear and act as a roof tile so no rain gets in.

[@peepresc8002]

Dan I love your videos, I am an ex Infantry Man, so I have spent a lot of time in the field, living in a trench, under a poncho etc. I loved that way of life. I'm 57 and after the forces I did a lot of what you are doing, well before it became a big thing. Sadly due to serious health issues those days are over. So watching you brings back so many memories ad feelings. Ignore the haters, keep doing what you are doing, we need more like you, All the best from Pee.

This is what kids should be learning about. Being close to nature, self reliance, appreciating the simple things in life. I know I wish I'd learned this when I was young.

All I wanted to do was camp when I was younger

[@raynarnslr1966]

I did a basic camp last weekend. Just a tarp, ground sheet, bivvy and sleeping bag, it chucked it down! Thanks for saying be that person and get out there. Stay safe Dan atvb 👍👍👍👍👍🦊

[@ptcarlsten]

As much as I enjoy watching you try out new camping stuff, the main reason I keep coming back is to hear you ramble on about life and everything. You are a good motivational speaker 😊

[@englishwoodsman]

Do I ramble to much?

[@ptcarlsten]

@@englishwoodsman Not at all! It is quite refreshing. You aren’t afraid of being honest and getting a bit personal, which I think sets you apart from many of the other content providers out there. Please keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@margaretjohnson4413]

That was a very muddy camp. Good to see something a bit different and great to use a sheet that was only meant to cover a metal sheet. Using the rope already there was a good thing too. A couple of people have already said a pebble or acorn tucked into the tarp and the paracord wrapped around it. Great when you can find them but a sharp stone will tear through in a wind. Buttons particularly a large coat button would work put into the corner of the tarp as if it is in a fist and the para cord. Maybe you could have another go with the improv. tarp and use it another way. It looked a bit narrow to keep out rain even with a light breeze. Some people have no respect for the land or other peoples property shame on them.

[@englishwoodsman]

Wow thank you for your comment

[@Storminateacup85]

Do not know how anyone can dislike you Dan!!!!. Sitting here thinking about it…..you really are a grafter! You put these type of videos out almost every week, then there is editing…all takes time and focus. Plus a full time job. Your wife/partner must be a very patient lass for the time you both spend together. As I’ve said before I hope your dream comes through for 100.000 plus subscribers because if there is one KZbinr that deserves a break it’s you.

[@missbabybiker]

Love watching your channel Dan because although you might not realise, you pass on lots of useful tips and info during your "ramblings" 😉 I know which facebook group those comments were on, I saw them too and had a chuckle 😂 Love the improvisation with your blue tarp and the rope you found. My first solo wild camp was just me, my dog, a 3x3m tarp and food/drinks. I just kept my clothes on, wore decent waterproofs and lay on the tarp on the ground with 3/4 of it wrapped over me & my dog. It did rain a bit overnight but I was dry & warm wrapped up in my tarp cocoon 😆 Length of daylight is determined by the earth's position in relation to it's orbit around the sun 😉 Keep up the great videos Dan.

[@jumpin4joync]

We enjoyed the video. Suggestion, at some point in the future try this again with a bit bigger tarp. And instead of a peak in the center, try an 'L' shape. The longer part of the L of the tarp going from the rope to the ground, slanted away from your back. The shorter part of the 'L' like a canopy over your head and staked out from the corners. As long as tarp is at least as long as your height, then it should cover you well. The length of the tarp to make the L shape should be much longer as the L shape will be your shelter. The longer it is the more shelter you create. You did good. If you are having to bug out and that tarp is all you had, you proved it would make a shelter. It's just it would be a small shelter.
