A Reflective Tarp that's TOUGH | Bushmen

[@GruntProof]

Hey Grunts, let's get those likes up!! Post your thoughts here! OUT

[@aleisterbroley900]

Glad to see there's at least one that's worthwhile on the market. I'm loving the DD tarp you recommended.

[@GruntProof]

Good to hear!

DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND DEALING WITH THE WRATH FROM GOD, SATAN, AND THE ANTICHRIST REIGNING HELL ON THIS EARTH FOR SEVEN YEARS. GOD PROMISE TO THE GENTILES AND THE ISRAELITES OF HIS CHILDREN, THAT ARE SAVED BY BELIEVING THE GOSPEL OF (1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4), THAT WE ARE NOT APPOINTED TO HIS WRATH. "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 THESSALONIANS 5:9) GET SAVED NOW! (NOTES): 11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, so the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, said the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. 15 Because you have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;" (Jeremiah 29: 11-15) THE ABC's OF SALVATION Admit you are a sinner in need of a savior Believe in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross alone for the remission of all your sins (past, present, and future)! 15 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved , if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 (Corinthians 15:1-4) Call on the name of the Lord. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13) "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) 9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10) 8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) (NOTES): How do you know if you're saved, sealed, and rapture ready? You'll find a statement underneath "The ABC's of Salvation" and below it states "Admit you are a sinner in need of a savior." Don't speak out to Jesus admitting all your sin's. If you do so, you will not be saved. Because you're basically spitting at Jesus face; which he did the works on the cross and shed his precious blood for your past, present, and future sins. You have to (understand) and (believe) the gospel. The gospel scripture in the King James Version (KJV) Bible is: (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). You have to have head knowledge; which is to (understand) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Next, you have to have the heart knowledge; which is to (believe) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Once you've done both, you had a change of mind. This is called metanoia. Therefore, you agreed with the works that Jesus Christ from Nazareth did on the Cross of Calvary for your sin's; which is your (past, present, and future sin's). After you spoken to the Lord that you (understand) and (believe) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), you are saved, sealed, sanctified, and rapture ready. You'll never lose your salvation period! Jesus has your soul, not Satan.

Is there any available in the US?

[@rdsmith334]

FYI, this is the first video of yours (in the last month or so) that actually showed up in my sub feed, and didn’t require me to go to your page to check for videos. Good video.

[@GruntProof]

Thanks! Maybe I'm out of timeout

[@nateminegar6974]

Nice job Randall and many thanks. I carry an emergency bivy in my ruck for all my hikes (S.O.L. Lite), I highly recommend. This reflective shelter looks like it would be an upgrade during the winter months to the USGI Poncho I carry for an emergency shelter.

[@GruntProof]

Thanks!

[@FreeWombling]

I'd be interested to see how the reflective coating holds up long term. I hope you do a review again after you've had it for a year or so.

[@Ramcharger2Travel]

Mors Kochanski would of loved this for his super shelter.

finally a serious reflective tarp option, thankyou sir!

In a similar vein to this, would love to see you review the Sarma TST Thermal Cloak or the Jerven Fjellduken Hunter!

[@robertrynerson1800]

Saved me some money buying an uninsulated jerven fjellduken. I mainly wanted it for the toughness and ability to make a shelter. This seems to check both of those boxes. Awesome videos and testing!

Hey Randall, that's awesome! and it comes in Woodland Camo too, I'm sold. Thank you! 👍

They make some good equipment in Poland. I ordered an 85 L backpack from a place called MilWorld in Poland, sent to Canada. Good price and decent quality.

[@jimgam730]

Since it's been two years now, how's that tarp holding up? Are you going to do a follow up video on it? Love to hear your thoughts on it now.

[@GruntProof]

Yup, still awesome

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Looks like a decent piece of kit.

[@ellerybice3787]

A genuinely nice fellow you are.

[@IsAmericaforSaletoChina]

Color does reflects heat, but material counts too. That is why the emergency blankets are made from mylar. That does not look like mylar. If it is just color white would work Beter or heat reflection.

[@elizabeththompson4424]

huh, not in the US I found the Texas Bushcraft reflective tarp it's solid green instead of camo

[@Kazad22]

I own a thermo tarp from Bushmen myself, a definitely working product. I also have their other equipment, a thermo blanket with a fleece filling, I wonder if it would have passed your tests on the channel.

[@GruntProof]

They have one with a fleece lining? I'll have to check it out. Thanks

[@Kazad22]

@@GruntProof yeah, exactly a termo plus fleece tarp, you can make a poncho or, say, spring / autumn underquilt under a hammock.

That sounds like the Fjelldukens or Särma. I'll try to get my hands on one. Thanks!

I've been looking as you had been for a reflective Ripstop Tarp that could hold up under extreme usage. Was glad to have been turned on to your review on bearhard 3×3 Tarp. Your no Bull$hit testing on products..as well as your Tell it as it is presentations, because of that I bought it into my absolutely necessaries & added a lite weight bug net. Because in Texas the dear flies are absolutely notorious pain in the @ss. Thanks brother for the heads up on bearhard tarp..

[@JBonaparte]

I bought the Arcturus thermal tarp. It's soooo stiff it was a nightmare to pack up and get back into the original stuff sack, but it was manageable. It just requires extra attention to detail and more thinking. It has a two different camo prints depending on the size you order. My god, it is so damn stiff. I've never had a tarp like it. It didn't feel like a tarp at all. Amazing quality, though.

[@isaiahpalm5151]

You should see if their new bivy is Grunt Proof. It appears to use the same reflective material Its only about $60 pre tax/shipping. "bushman hideout"

[@jmtigerfan4765]

And in his other video, it is very effective at hiding you from thermal sights. Big plus!

[@mccoyburgess844]

I appreciate the review. Like others have said, if it passes your tests I can buy it. Question, how effectively does that camo work? The pattern repeats in what appears to me to be too small, unless you add some local vegetation to break it up. I hope that’s clear enough to understand. My brain is a bit foggy right now. Thanks for the rigor of your testing and clear reporting.

[@fyou2327]

I thought the same thing. Looking at it, as far as camo goes, it stands out like a boner in wind pants.

[@irminpelzer7049]

Hi nice video ... Look's like your back in Germany... If so welcome back. Did u have a chance 2 test the Helikon Tex super tarp or the DD hammock tarp ?

[@GruntProof]

Thanks! I've done a video on the DD tarp. Haven't looked at a Helikon-Tex tarp yet

[@irminpelzer7049]

@@GruntProof I got them both and both are great ..the DD seams a bit more rouget but the helikon is tuff enough and is easyer 2 store away in a pouch .. but it might not be grunt proof :-)

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Excellent review. Better made in Poland than China!!

[@swaspc7618]

I have asked the company what his HH was. They have answered me that "the water column for the Thermo tarp 3x2 is 3500mm". It does not seem to me that it is very high waterproofing. AquaQuest Defender Tarp claims 20.000mm. AquaQuest Safari Tarp and Guide Lightweight is rated at 5.000mm. Any thoughts on this?

[@GruntProof]

I doubt anything is rated at 20m. But if you pitch it properly that rating isn't too important, at least in my experience

[@abandonedotter4270]

Awesome. Thanks for letting us know. Bada$$ery revealed

[@VanishingNomad]

I would ditch the stuff sack and put it in my roll anyway.

[@indycharlie]

Nice !

[@couchcamperTM]

yo... I just bought an MFH copy of the grabber space blanket - which it isn't. It's a copy of the Arcturus POS. So, warning: don't ever bother to buy and test it, it's not worth the 15 Euros ;-) The bushmen tarp looks good, but I don't need a third 3x3m tarp^^

[@GruntProof]

thanks for the heads up!

[@johnsteele2986]

Bit of a shame about the seam tape, that will definitely become an issue over time, but I guess proper seam sealing tape like on goretex is very expensive. But I guess as a survival item, meant to be used only in dire situations, it would be durable enough to get by. The rest of it though is constructed very, very well. As someone who works in an industry that specialises in that sort of thing I must say I'm very impressed. These guys truly understood good seam construction, by doing it the way they have, it's the webbing tape that takes the strain, not the tarp material. This is why all the other tarps failed.

[@GruntProof]

Yea that could be a problem down the road. Outside of testing I've used mine 8 times and didn't see the tape coming off yet

[@johnsteele2986]

@@GruntProof I noticed you using it near a fire to reflect the heat and if that didn't cause it to start peeling off maybe it'll surprise us? Either way a nice bit of kit!

[@GruntProof]

Yup!

[@kennethh5657]

As I mentioned previously, that is an excellent tarp. However, it is 4 to 6 times more expensive than those crappy survival blankets. It also weighs a lot more. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it's definitely an apples to oranges comparison. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I can't remember the last time I spent more than $17 or $18 for one of those cheesy survival tarps. They work good enough for a ground mat or just to wrap up in. I agree they wouldn't last long as a tarp. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Other than that a great review. 👍

Never ordered anything from abroad, how does the VAT thing work, do they not add it for US buyers, do you have to do a form for a refund of the VAT, or what? I am pretty afraid to know what shipping would be anyway...and Customs can sometimes be hinky.

EU to US is usually just shipping. Their VAT is 19%, so much higher than ours
