How To Live In A Tent Mortgage Free 1

[@TheEvanRoach]

How the US Forest Service propagates generational knowledge.

[@AbleMan.2178]

Ive the same type tent but much older. Great base camp tent if One wants to backpack in deep. I dyed the white, cammo right off. Same woodstove also. Strongly suggest you make ALL your stakes from half inch rebar. (Im in far west Idaho and 15 days into my 30 day big game hunt, heavy weather learned me that long rebar is the way to go 😂) Seeing yours I think Ill buy or build the internal frame. Mine takes me 3 hours to set up solo. Glad I found your channel cuz we think much alike. Break free or die trying.

[@davemiller251]

We are in year 3 with our White Duck tent - 16 x 24. It has been pitched in our backyard the entire time - winter and summer. The summers are hot here, so we purchased the polyethylene fly sheet to protect the tent. I caused the only damage (hint!) I tried to unroll an interior window cover last winter and it cracked like glass. Beware freezing temps with those window covers. Great setup!

[@raven_pheather4509]

We use a blue tarp when we camp a rug for extra comfortability also

[@ironmann16]

I can't wait to see what you turn this into! The old ways are often the best ways for living happy, and healthy. I must admit, I am quite envious of that setup. I wish I had the yard space to do things like this. One day!

[@yannikoloff7659]

Hi Cody. As a long term habitant of tent, I advise you to build a deck and external frame for that tent. I had similar construction and with 1 year it got to rot. And UV burned roof. So I spent next a week to build another tent with deck and heavy duty tarpaulin as extra roof. That tarp was like on trucks. Later that year, I also added tarp walls around to give extra insulation in a winter time. In a summer time I take of walls to watch outside. Now, this tent withstanded 5 years of living and still going strong.

[@kemi_niko]

Nice tip on the truck sidings, I have some I’m making semi permanent roofs with and was really wondering on its longevity

[@yannikoloff7659]

@@kemi_niko I'm working right now in a company that has a warehouse-tent. It's a size of Amish barn, pretty big. And we live in Polar circle. So we have a extreme cold in winter and summer goes also to Spanish heat. That warehouse were standing there for 10 years and not a single hole got in there. So yeah, it's pretty strong. BUT, do not use red or orange colour, it drives me nuts inside.

[@1911wood]

My mother and grandparents lived in one of these during the depression. It was on an island in the Mississippi River. They dug down about three feet so they had good height inside. They had a huge garden and grandpa hunted. They did alright.

[@beatsbyry]

Sounds better than a 30 year mortgage

[@jacktrevino1108]

3 feet down not only expanded the space inside, but probably kept the temperature more even on a hot day. With the windows/door flaps open and facing the wind it could be very nice on an 80-90 degree day

[@JustMeHere291]

How did they keep water filling the inside?

[@Saintbow]

I had to convert two of those harbor freight portable garages into something like this, but not as awesome. Lost my home in Hurricane Ian and using the make shift "lodges" while I'm rebuilding the house. I've had to use a lot of the old way tricks and new ways tricks to get me through this summer. From building my own swamp coolers to solar panels, it's been a real test! Keep up the good work!

I've dug deep and prayed hard...the lord hears me and will deliver me from this fear in the mean time I think he is showing me ways to make it to his arms in the end.

Spent twenty plus years guiding elk hunters in wyoming in a military 16x32 army mess tent.. Unfortunately it was spilt in half by a huge snow Storm.. We managed to salvage it to make a 16 x24 and use contact cement to put it back together.. Thanks Cody love your videos

[@wisnoskij]

Up here in Canada I think we like to see a little insulation value to actually call something a all season tent. at -40 you need to huddle pretty close to a stove without highly insulated walls to not die.

[@TheShimalol]

My dad, his siblings and his parents had to live in a large repurposed revival tent shortly after the Great Depression until they were able to get back on their feet. They lived like that for a year in the mountains of WVa.

[@Backstabbio]

Man, those are some mighty-fine duds you're sporting there, señor!

[@AlaskaWild]

My wife and I can’t wait to see the build of your log furniture for this thing! My wife and I and our two small children, lived through a hard PNW winter in a 240 ft.² shed. We lived in that shed for a year. We had a 40 minute walk up a steep mountain to get to our truck in the winter time. My wife cooked outside in the snow and we melted snow for water at times. You never know where you will find yourself in life. This tent looks much more cozy :-).

[@Catshleyyy]

Wow, how amazing and inspiring.

[@crazynok5511]

I've been homeless but never had nothing that nice , mine was a 3 man tent that I held on to and I'm glad I did because my wife and I will most likely be living in it again the way things are going.

[@Bobby-mg1uj]

Once homeless, had a hammock. Much safer, because no one ever looks up. Hope your fortunes and situation improves, friend.

[@gryphon1342]

Ive honestly considered the US Army 16x16 pole tent. Similar window design, and the color allows for good camoflauge in the Appalachian Woodlands. 640sq ft, Aluminum poles and duck cloth fabric, and the aesthetic is honestly pretty cool too!

[@Thrash155]

Brings back memories of when I was in boy scouts, and we had military surplus wall tents and cots. Some people would call it roughing it, but I loved it as a young man. Would have loved to have one of these in our troop.. :)

[@smartcookie11]

Main concern is security, someone can easily rob your belongings

[@danielalamo2075]

I love this video. My grandfather, my mom's dad, was an avid hunter and fisherman (mostly ocean fishing). He would travel from the central valley of California to somewhere in Utah to deer hunt. I think I remember seeing pictures with a canvas tent in the background. But I do remember the huge deer in the pictures and the huge antlers nailed to the old tank house on the ranch. And then later hanging in the garage rafters in town. I'm 56. I never got to hunt or fish with my grandfather. My parents had a dairy and I was the oldest. So I always had to work. I do try to hunt. But I do not have much time for it. And I'm not very successful. But it is still fun to go. Thank you for bringing up memories!

[@bigred906]

My wife and I met camping in W NY 766 days ago and we have been camping together ever since. We've spent 2 winters in tents, first a 3m bell tent, then a 19x14 yurt(with two main poles and 2 winnnerwell wood stoves). I put mine on a platform and built an entrance because the zippers ALWAYS fail!

[@tall14dude]

Remember to flip up the stove jack cover BEFORE you cut the hole. 😅 I remember you cut right through it in the old tent.

[@davefarnsworth3020]

I can vouch for the comfort level of a wall tent, as I've spent the last two years in North Idaho in a 12x14 with an 8' cook shack addition.

[@SonoraSlinger]

My old man loved his. He would put pallets down as the floor during rainy weather to raise you and all your goods off the wet ground.

There are some very good off-the-shelf solutions for waxed cotton tents...but back in the day...You would just make one. And you still can! I remember that Wranglerstar did have some videos for waxing cotton. Perhaps time to refresh for how to do this?

[@Bobby-mg1uj]

1. Mix silicone with naphtha. 2. Dip a sheet or blanket into it. 3. Hang sheet to dry. Now have a waterproof sheet that will last much longer than a plastic tarp. EDIT: YT video by @NightHawkInLight gives easy, detailed instructions. "Recycled Bedsheets Make The Best Waterproof Tarps."

[@dananorth895]

100% silicone caulk ( the good stuff, don't skimp.) And 1 gal napha. You absolutely must use a paint mixing paddle on a drill and mix well. Must be remixed well after setting very long. But solution doesn't keep very long should be used up imediately. I've coated backpacks, hats, parkas, tarps. Can be brushed or rolled on 2-3 coats.

I keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen, not because my kitchen is on fire, nor do I think it ever will be. It's just good practice to be prepared, in case unforeseen events occur. How far one takes this concept is up to the individual. Thankfully, different people have different views. You don't have to be a bigot about it.

Good evening Cody! You should make a series of your favorite multipurpose tools! (As in tools used effectively for unconventional situations!) love your work, wisdom, and words!

[@joeseabert8391]

I’m going to make a suggestion but tell you why you should not do it. We lived in Honduras for over 80 days, we had a GP medium and used pallets and sheets of plywood as a floor. Which worked great until a skunk decided to make home underfoot.

[@danshipman9465]

He finally became homeless. I was expecting it quite some time ago.

[@JK-Handyman]

I wish we had one of those while me and my brother build his cabin. We lived in a 12' x 12' camping tent for 3 weeks in the fall up in the mountains outside of Asheville NC (bat cave) while we converting his 12' x 8' shed into a tiny house. After that we lived inside the small shed while we built his cabin over 6 months. It would have been easier and probably more comfortable to just buy one of those and save the time and money of converting a shed into a living space. $3,500 is a great deal!

[@TheJakeRobinson]

I like to wrap my joints with Metal HVAC tape to add stability - I have also used ratchet straps to help my structure resist high winds - run diagonally inside the tent near the top. To be fair, my tent was a cheap portable for cars so it did not have tie downs on the outside.

[@stevencunningham4680]

Hey Cody that's an awesome tent. It'll last longer in the elements of mother nature if you'd build a deck for it to sit on. Build it 2 ft. wider than the measurements of the tent then instead of staking it to the ground screw it to the deck with J hooks then it'll be there till the cows come home.

We never had a stove inside a tent, though, so that will be great to learn. I can't begin to express how grateful I am to you for all you do and everything you're teaching us.

Great video. I've been considering one of these since I was just a youth. Now as I have hit 40 I'm looking to get an additional piece of property in the mountains for my family to get away to. Money is tight and the minimal cost involved for such a large and dependable shelter is definitely the way to go over building a cabin for 4 children and my wife. It would also free up some extra money to put towards a nicer piece of land. What do you gentlemen think about combining two of these? One with a double door where one door opens into the one door on the other tent, setting them up end to end. I haven't been able to think of any major drawbacks.
