Living in a Tent Long Term - Military Shelter EP 1

[@jessmurrey6605]

I see a lot of people on KZbin doing different things and I've got to say I think you are the real thing man I am 77 years old and grew up living like you are spent several full winters in a tent keep it up I can smell the coffee and the food cooking.

[@BushwackerMan]

Awesome thank you! 👍👍

@pellelindbergh whats it like living in tents i wanna live in tents full time and build a little one man shed style pallet wood hut then connect the two also how did you get food did you or do you need a job also are tents beeter than huts cus i prefer huts so if i connect the two ill get best of both worlds 😊

[@pellelindbergh4455]

@@iamtheoverlordofu554 well it depend were you are ,if you on the move or staying in one place ,on someone land or unmark land .i had jobs in south america and i camp on the land i was working so that was okay ,but there were times i camp when i did,nt have a job ,or so little money that i had to dumpster dive for food which was nice in Sweden but not so well in south america . i know people who build a hut one with a dome and one with a flat roof they are much better than a tents ,because of the weather .alone .i sleep in my tent in sweden ,when the temp drop down to minus -18 .but a hut you can build yourself a fireplace or buy a cheap wood stove .in the winter i had troubles with mice trying to get in and eating holes in my tents.im in madison wi right now living in my tent,until i go on my long walk sometime next year.unless you growing your own food you have to buy it but .you don't need alot of it .rice pasta peanut butter is the food for people with little or no money not sure where you are there there food banks or near towns or what ,but you seem to be doing well

You will have great fun, let me now how you get on 👍👍👍👍

[@stevencurtis3959]

Got to say, as a renter, with a moderate income, the idea of making the break and going for a solo lifestyle is so appealing. Great video, top insight, inspiring stuff my friend. What a life, maybe we all need to realise that less is more in this world. Stop chasing things, eat, sleep, grow your own and keep warm......liberating times!

[@BushwackerMan]

Totally agree! 👍👍

[@jayjenkins4721]

I camped in a big 8 man canvas tent with a floor as a kid (sooo heavy!) and have been in the US military for 34 years. To me, I've always loved the musty smell of a canvas tent. Not very practical for weekend getaways, but for what you're doing it's perfect.

[@phoneone1371]

When i was a kid my dad had a US military surplus tent from Korean war ,the thing was huge and heavy and definitely remember the smell

[@8044868]

Excellent setup! I'm never happier than when I'm living in my tent.

[@semco72057]

That must be a British tent used during the 1950's thru the 1970's. I slept in a tent for one night at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas while in the military and we had to keep our firearm (M-16 rifle) where it could not be stolen and mine was in bed with me. We ate a hot meal brought in warm and served to us and I thought we would have to eat MRE's instead, but was glad we didn't have to since they aren't the greatest. We had two people per tent and that was nice.

[@RichieS83]

This series really inspires me to pack up and leave my consumer life behind. It's a shame many "normal" people don't have a love for this kind of living anymore. But I suppose it's due to circumstances and commitments. Great videos. 👍👍👍😃

[@BushwackerMan]

You can do it! 👍👍

[@losonsrenoster]

Setting off to the Cape west coast in SA in a week, trying some tent living for the first time in a long time, here's hoping I can get set up nicely like this.

[@BushwackerMan]

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Another GREAT series begins! The video scenes are evocative and engaging. THANKS TO ALL OF YOUR FAMILY for taking on the challenge of a long-term stay. Active outdoors people always have/need projects. Human nature is to 'tweak' things to our liking. In my time outdoors, one of my priorities was to build frames for shelters that allowed me to eliminate ropes. We each have our 'druthers.'

[@trevor33jan1]

pick up a 3 way fridge, runs on 110v, 240v and gas. Ive got one and take it fishing when im away for long trips. They are a great bit of kit mate. 4k gas bottle will last weeks.

[@johnwinchell1029]

Wow big tent. A waterproof floor covering will help with moisture limiting in the living area. It may well help control the condensation. Good luck with your project.

[@MultiOutdoorman]

A little labour-saving tip for chopping firewood ? Use a small car tyre laid on your stump to contain the logs while chopping ... so they don't fall onto the damp floor, as each bend-over threatens your ageing back (haha) Take care and enjoy the self-reliance experiences !

[@BushwackerMan]

Good tip, thanks👍

Great tent and your camp is looking amazing. You're definitely doing the things. I remember going camping as a young man with my father, he had a similar OD green military style tent. Brings back memories. Thank you for sharing.

[@BushwackerMan]

Thanks for your comment, doing things like this certainly makes some great memories 👍

[@HobbitHomes263]

I lived 15 months, including two winters in northern Montana, in a GP Small 10 man squad tent. I had a 58 gallon barrel stove. I burned 5 1/2 cords of pine over that time and it was very comfortable. I bought the GP Small over the "arctic 10 man tent because I wanted the 6 foot sidewalls so I could stand up anywhere inside. Total price wihtout the poles was $475

[@BushwackerMan]

Sounds good👍👍

[@HobbitHomes263]

@@BushwackerMan Did you get the winter liner for that tent? It makes a big difference in how warm it stays

[@Benny_of_DK]

Just want to say that that tent is something of a matter, it might be heavy, but it is also delicious. Would think that there you could live forever if you can keep food on the table. Also, there's just that hammer, it's bigger than the one you hit. 😁 It's going to be an amazing series, I can already feel it.

Nice camp Dean, its starting to look good and everything is easy to remove nothing permanent like your other camp, except your lean to. You can alternate how you want to use it as and when you want. You should of brought a few ration packs with you as well. Take care and enjoy your camp.

[@garynichols8186]

Great camp setup! I am envious! This makes me want to order a tent a do a setup myself! While in the military I used many a GP Small and GP Medium canvas army tent. They were great tents and I may have to purchase a GP Small for myself one day. Your tent looks like a very nice tent though and I will check them out online for sure.

It’s a Squad Tent. Perfect for you, your significant other, and a mans best friend! OMG I’ve spent so much time in these tents myself. Both in hot and arctic environments, and while the lining is available, I’ve never found the compelling need in spite of -20 to 30 degree (F), with a stove you’ll find it so warn that you will “open the flap” And let some cool air in👍🏻🤷🏽‍♂️❗️

Yes it a great tent, I love it👍

[@garydumbauld4212]

The condensation is an issue. I have, in smaller tents, used a solar charger, a motorcycle battery tapped at the six volt strap, and a four-inch (100mm?) computer case fan inside one of the top vents-worked a treat, charge all day, pull out condensation all night.

You might also ‘after you have the sharp object out of the tire] look into ‘Slime Tire Repair/Sealant’ or whatever the U.K. equivalent is. That and a bicycle pump should last several seasons.

Hello my friend. You need the liner for the inside. I lived in one with the liner and it makes a world of difference.

yeah you do need a liner it was white but you will still have a bit of condensation other thing that you might want is to reinforce your center pull by putting it into the ground by about 2 inches

@Demon Slayer .. fishing is plentiful locally, I highly doubt 300 miles of shoreline will be patrolled constantly day and night...in addition to hundreds of lagoons ..many fishing piers, etc.. literally no problem unless water is poisoned.....veggies..well unless it's coconuts from palms that line the keys...then must grow them

WOW, you've joined the lifestyle, good on you, we have been doing the very same thing/similar for the last 3 year's, nothing beats forest camping and especially long term, drive in and not drive out for a month or more. Finally catching up on your video series, watching this one makes us wish we were in the bush at the moment, unfortunately the recent rain has left our bush areas very wet and boggy. Also just wondering whether you have a specific method for covering your tracks (vehicle and foot tracks) on the way into camp and whether you could cover any tips or ideas you have or would use in this case scenario in a video. Thanks for sharing your awesome videos 😊

twig broom is what is needed...would make this place more tidy. bubble wrap is a good condensation protector..Also if you do have a ground sheeting.. add that before the moisture in the ground inside you tent goes up because of the stove at night. but requesting you only put e'm up (bubble wrap) during night and take e'm off during day. other than that..stay safe.. GOD BLESS.

[@snowflakemelter1172]

Bubble wrap is not insulation.

[@snowflakemelter1172]

That tent food store looks like a mice playground to me, I would get a metal box for all your food, rats and squirrels will eat though a plastic cool box or a tent no problem. We planted potatoes in the woods next door to our house and the whole lot was eaten by deer , a total fail. Fence them off big time.

[@tomfitzgerald8150]

by the way if you want to conserve heat raise your floor by any means possible by about 2 inches if possible, we used the famous Yukon stove It was a very amazing stove that could burn gas, diesel, or wood very compact and light weight

[@tomfitzgerald8150]

sorry I meant to expand on the floor this will leave you dry and reduce the wetness as you reheat the stove in the morning or afternoon got to fight the mud anyway possible you and your dog will start to mud up the floor within days if this is the only place you were living
