I'm with you on building shelters from natural material. In Wales, it is very, very hard to do. Constant wet, wind, cold - it's a miserable exercise. Tarp in the backpack at all times.

[@fosterkennel649]

Blessings to you and yours Lars coming at you from Southern Oregon

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Yes, I love it. Very practical. And we carry all sorts of modern tools in the woods, why not some plastic to make real shelter. I can buy 9'x12' sheet of construction plastic for 3 dollars here in the US. And it packs well. So I'm on board with adding this to my pack. Very awesome indeed.

[@danirizary6926]

A tightly folded piece of that thin plastic could be tucked into gear without taking much space. Beside shelter, it could be used to wrap game, collect rainwater, or even to carry trash out.

[@improvisedsurvival5967]

I built a shelter with shrink wrap once it worked great. It’s a good option imo. Just not stealth

I love the seeing woods, but never did any real camping. Still, it's awesome to learn something about survival in the woods.

[@danirizary6926]

I think learning about these things helps us wherever we live. As a person who spent much of my life in the woods, I feel instant kinship with people who think of the backwoods, even if they haven't been there.

If you look around the web you can find free plans to make a canvas teepee, specifically how to cut and sew a canvas one. Instead of sewn seems you could use duct tape on the plastic. Some of the plans I've seen over the years where for children, but I found at least one that was more authentic and included details about the chimney flaps, door flaps and how to tie everything together. You can easily modify the plan to make the teepee taller and narrower, or shorter and wider.

[@mannihh5274]

The worlds smallest ferrorod is not the Firefly, not even the FireAnt, sitting in the SAK's-corkscrew, the smallest ferrorod is sitting in every lighter with a strike-wheel, most people call it 'the flint' - amazing 2x6mm and good for 1,000+ fires, if you take a BIC !

[@jnljnl8485]

I made a frame out of old PVC well pipe and cover it with painters plastic for my greenhouse. It stays over 100f with very low humidity here in the desert. I'm able to cool it with a homemade swamp cooler and the plastic last rite up until I harvest my marijuana before the sun turns it to dust. For long term use on a tee pee use a canvas drop cloth sealed with boiled linseed oil it will last for years and not drip hot plastic on you if an ember hits it.

Reinvent of the America Indian portable house, called a teepee. They used well cured animal hides, you used “plastic” animal hides. Ha ha. I might suggest leaving a hole at the apex of the poles, to allow the smoke to go straight up and escape, then your doorway could be narrower. I think it is a very practical design to keep a person or 2 people dry in wet or snowy weather!

[@charleswalter2902]

I knew a guy, maybe 40 years ago, that lived in a plastic teepee..... bigger than yours over a winter. I thought he was nuts, but he made it through the winter just fine. just a crazy hippie.

[@norton750cc]

Super strong packing tape is available, use that on the inside to hold the plastic onto the poles.. Wind could be a problem. But for sure you know that.

Plastic like that sucks in high winds and bad snow storms unless you have a ton of it which isn't feasible in the wood's, also would of went with a Dakota hole vented outside the tent

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

people are just NUTS to not carry a reflective tyvek bivy, a plastic "envelope" to put around the bivy, and a net hammock. If it's cold, set the hammock about 6" off of the ground (with you IN it, of course) and kick debris under it, so as to stop air from flowing under you. 3 lbs of gear, very little more than 1 gallon in size. and it solves SO many problems. I also carry a couple of 1/4 lb each,, $30 each, full body bugnet "suits' from Amazon and a couple of their 1/2 lb each "cut leaf" sort of camo nets, also about $30 each. I use both a 1 lb buttpack and a 1.5 lb daypack. I lash the shelter/sleep get to the top of the buttpack and it serves as a pack frame. I empty the packs, stuff them with debris and use them as sleeping pads, normally up in the hammock If you have no way to hang the hammock, it can be used, stuffed with dry debris, as a sleeping pad. The "envelope' around the bivy is a pair of taped-together , heavy duty 55 gallon drum liners. They can be slit up one side and used as a canopy. The 1.5 lb reflective 2GoSystems "trifecta' tyvek bivy is fully zippered, so that it can be laid flat, or used as a canopy. It's got lots of tie-off points, too. However, I'd rather use it as a bivy, and rig up the envelope as a canopy, if it's too hot to fully enclose the bivy with said envelope. When I wear the the bugnet suits and camo nets as "longjohns" I can sleep ok at 34F degrees, in rain and wind, in the hammock. using just cammies, 3 pairs of sock liners, gloves, balaclava and shemagh. If there's dry debris, i can drop that temp by 10f degrees. if I can heat water bottles or rocks, I can put them inside of the bivy and drop the temps by 10F dgrees, for a few hours, at least. I can use the morning sun or a Siberian fire lay, "aimed' at the clear PEVA that I put over the open end of the bivy and gain 10F degrees, I wouldn''t live or be any place where it's colder than that. It's just too damned dangerous, expensive and effortful. I"ve done it and it sucks.

[@jimf1964]

Been following you for years….. it like a stalker, just watching. 🙂, but just like Taiga native shelters, teepees have a lot of nuance to their design. After all, they had like 1000yrs to develop a crude primitive shelter. I think you could do better with less materials, but hey, go for it. It’ll be interesting to see, but a comparison would make good follow up videos.

[@TheDavewatts]

It's not so difficult to make a waterproof shelter in my experience, not in England anyway. I made a small shelter for two people in an hour that kept me out of the wind and rain, these two elements are big factors in hypothermia which in itself can be a killer. Obviously I'm not talking about the area where you live as unfortunately I've never been to Russia, but certainly in the UK it's easier enough to keep yourself out of the wind and rain. That being said I always carry a decent tarp, for what they weigh it's pointless not too.

[@garybaldy2907]

I'd like to see a shelter built of "Gladpack", the kind of plastic foil you use for protecting food in the cooler. One layer won't cut it but I'm thinking several layers to make it stronger.

[@kisavracar]

Lars what knife did you use in this Greetings from Belgrade.

[@recondrone1776]

Debris shelters are way overrated in today's world! You can pack a lightweight tarp or other similar material and build a super fast shelter that's actually 100% better than a natural/debris shelter. I keep a cheap camouflaged 8'x9' tarp that weighs just over a pound and about 30 feet of bankline nearby or with me in the forest mainly for rainstorms but would also be handy in cold weather. I rather not get stuck outside in horrible weather and have to build a Neanderthal like shelter out of tree bark and rocks while lighting is striking all around in a downpour! 🤣

[@markhignett7671]

I always love your videos… but as you kind of say this isn’t practical . A survival shelter isn’t needed unless you are in bad weather , and if you were going to treck in bad weather you would have packed a lightweight tarp .. My favourite saying from you has always been “ if you are out in the woods and are not prepared, you are a moron “ , again like you said , unless you are a pilot who has to bail out because your plane has died or a person on a boat who has been washed overboard you should have been in most ways prepared .. if you aren’t then it’s your own fault and you are a “ moron “ .. I agree with that to every degree 👍

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much! We will see if it's worth carrying such a plastic sheet or not, after the overnight. At the moment we have some good winds moving. It will be interesting to see if the shelter still stands in a day or two.

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

that would take at least an hour to accomplish and you'd probably be soaked before you could get it done. My bivy/hammock solution will keep me dry as I hang the hammock, create the ridgelines, etc. Yes, it's a very confining set up at-first, but it can be modified into a canopy, set up later, if the rain is ongoing and I dont want to or can't travel
