@@SurvivalRussia that Digital Flora Pattern in a way has that city/concrete jungle/urban environment look 2 it in a way with Black, Foliage Green (Urban Green) & Red-Brown!

[@TheWodasi]

I think its a great honor to get spoofed by the crazy woman ! way to go Lars ! awesome ...

[@froschnmaximus9108]

A god "old" way to deal with insect bites, cut a raw onion in half and put the cut on the bite. It cools and at the same time the onion sap works like a antidote. Got this from my mother when i was stung by a wasp, as kid and i use this even today (i think this works even better than the 'after bite stuff' from the drug store's). Have a nice weekend Lars.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I will have to try that out next time :) There's nothing like Mother/Grandmother hacks.

[@LWTUA120609]

Good one! That´s acutally my preferred remedy for insect bites too. I got this hint from my Grandma when I was a child 40 years ago, but in my case the sting was from a bee. Onions are awesome!

[@LG-cz6ls]

I use tea tree essential oil. Only need a drop. It's also good for athletes foot, cold sores, and spots.

[@ryaniam22]

I looks awesome because it's big enough to be used over a large backpack and still be a good poncho. I just wish someone would make a larger canvass poncho that could be used over a backpack and linked up to form larger shelters. If doubling as a tarp it's nice to be a be to cook under it or even sit above a small fire to warm up and dry off without melting

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Looks like a handy bit of equipment. I was contacted a while back by a Russian company who makes not only tents but woodstoves for the tents as well. They wanted to work a deal with me to review their products on my videos. I wasn't interested to do so myself. If you think you might be interested, let me know and I will see if maybe I still have their contact info.

[@eron17]

Far North Bushcraft And Survival I would not mind that at all. Just make sure it's clearly marked as paid content.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Thanks for the shout-out! Cool shelter!

[@Bob-eo3gf]

One tarp with numerous features and capabilities. The adventure begins. Damn Lars that bug bite at the end. Wow that looked painful, please take care of yourself out there.

[@highliner9316]

Luv the videos they are funny to see how the bugs don’t bother you most people would run away from the bugs keep up the good work

[@johnarbaugh7569]

suspension pole pouches to prevent poking holes through the shelter

[@outpost2996]

These little round pockets are made for a sticks, when you want to use the tarp as a roof above your head when you stand full, but there is no trees aroud to use the ribbons, I think. For example to cover up yor cooking place, or to make a roof for you car outside. Fishermen use it in this way very often.

[@outpost2996]

Three basic forms of usage for such tarps - shelter for sleeping, roof or cover and stretchers for wounded (folded on half and use handles).

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you for the info :)

[@CptBlackbeardlives]

Since you say it has handles to use as a stretcher perhaps the pouches are for legs to use it as a cot.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Could be. Good thinking :)

[@soldier-Dave]

All those little pouches are for inserting branches etc to prop up the tarp!

[@fritzschwanserhauser2266]

Kind of a cool shelter, needs a Velcro- on mosquito mesh up in front, Throw cold water on it and might be a good prone position concealment from IR and night vision! It Could be used with mil specs sleep systems!

[@OKBushcraft]

Wow! Those insects are not for the weak! We have deer flies that land and bite quick but rarely do you have more than a couple in flying in formation. Thanks for the shelter intro. Looking forward to more.

[@Rudiinko]

I like the camo pattern, blends very well with grass in contrast to multicam.

[@MrSurf247]

Man, and I thought backpacking in the Sierras’ during the summertime was mosquito heavy, my heart goes out to you Lars and much respect for soldering on! Great little tarp!

[@kurkruk70]

I saw a channel called Endurance Room review this shelter and sold me on it. I just got one and can't wait to test it out. I guess I had overlooked your review of it! Lol. Great video!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

That low shelter would do the job for one...or, of course, two 'conscripts' as necessary. Very little space to heat; good ground ventilation. Thanks for an interesting overview about equipment for a major resurgent military force!

[@couchcamperTM]

it's scary Lars, I buy a swiss camo jacket, you show it. I buy 6sh120 tarp, you show it. I really don't want a girlfriend now, I'm afraid you would show her. xD

[@couchcamperTM]

btw pouches are for poles

[@dfgndfghdfghdfgh]

That's a good tip about the length of the arm as a measure guide

[@thomasmusso1147]

Cool tarp .. looks like it can have many applications. Nice Vid .. thanks Lars.

[@edsan9788]

Looks useful as an light weight emergency all weather tarp which can be used independently or to craft a cold weather shelter

[@WayPointSurvival]

I like it. That's a pretty cool shelter/tent. Looking forward to the larger configuration video as well. Thanks.

[@dula4552]

Russian manufacturing / engineering really does go to the umpteenth degree!!! Just awesome! Love the intense focus on function rather than frills too!

[@Toad_Hugger]

Awesome video as always Lars! Interesting shelter! All those handles and pockets would come in really handy using it for all sorts of different functions and whatnot. It'd be interesting to see the 2 tarp mansion one! Those flies are pure evil. We have them a bit north from me, they're called deer flies here. Not sure if they're the same, but they bite like made and really test your temper!

[@stetsonhanson3544]

Congrats on kick ass tent Lars! I could see little ninja having fun in it, should be a blast for the whole family!

[@АндрейФесенко-о1н]

Укрытие универсальное 6Ш120 предназначено для защиты военнослужащих от атмосферных осадков и ветра. Укрытие используется в качестве одноместной палатки, тента, носилок для переноса раненых! Ларс берегите себя используйте средства от вредных насекомых! Спасибо за обзор 6ш120!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Спасибо за комментарий друг)))

[@АндрейФесенко-о1н]

И вам спасибо за обзор на английском языке элементов экипировки Ратник! Уверен в мире очень много людей интересуется но все видео обзоры на русском языке!

[@JK408CJ]

I have one, love it. It's my go-to when I hit the trail. Great size and very versatile.

[@robertcole9391]

Very informative. As for the double rings inside.. I'm sure you could use taller polls and use the rings to string a mosquito bar (net) inside. Plenty of air ventilation in that aspect. As or low lying.. great for stealth camping. Just a quick set up. I wonder if they have a version that is actually square. Say 10' x 10' . One could erect a nice one man shelter with just some pegs and a long staff. Kind of a half pyramid. And yet still use the rings inside for a mosquito bar. Would be interesting. Thanks for the upload. By the way.. very hard to find an economical manufacturer that makes a square tarp vs a rectangular one these days.

[@robertfoote3255]

Those green eyes fighter planes look like what we call DEER FLIES.. agressive, fast, ruthless, and they come in clouds! They come around at the drier start to summer and gnaw on anything that moves! Nasty buggers! It's a interesting shelter/ utility tarp....I like the camo pattern....if it had just a touch of brown and black mixed in...it would be a camelion...😁 Best wishes Lars!

[@lars-goranabrahamsson9337]

Really nice video again. Keep up your good work. Best regards Lars-Göran from Sweden.

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

Some real thinking went in to that shelter!!!

[@alaskabushops]

I will have to check the shelter system out I’m looking for a heavy duty multi use system that will work for hammocks as well if it’s long enough ... and then over night scouting trips with minimal gear ... I’m to rough on the light weight ones and they have all wore out after a summer and winter session of use and high winds don’t help...

[@Art790631]

Talking about taking one for the team... Good video.

[@TheScoundrel70]

I hope to see more about this shelter as you learn them Lars, it looks very versatile!

[@KaylynnStrain]

your audio is good for me, I can easily understand what you are saying. I would guess that little pocket is a pole pocket so you can put the end of a pole in that. very interesting attachments on that tarp

[@Schmidt54]

Those small pouches are backup pouches to store some buckwheat in them, of course!

[@SurvivalRussia]

That's what it is :)

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

A great tarp, plenty of room in the low profile shelter and it does a good job of blending in. Looking forward to its use in the field. Thanks, Lars.

[@throatnotchingtroutzzz6789]

Nice video, and review. I thought about buying this too, but I thought it was some kind of poncho too. So I am glad I did not. Really cool, that you have got the opportunity to review these things now. Then it is more clear what they can and cannot do. :o) Nice day. And nice Survival Russia parody too. :o)

[@Skills2survive]

Pretty interesting. I like it. I wish we could get one of those in the USA.

[@stevetaylor2445]

Thanks Lars I really appreciate your efforts and look forward to the 2 tarp setup as well.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much Steve :) I look forward to it myself actually.

[@spyke123able]

Funkyly awsome as usual Lars! Let us know what else you have learned about that tarp!

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Cool setup! Cool video as always. Those flies look like deer flies here in Canada. They bight hard and fast. Take them out with the printing tool. Thanks Lars. 😎

[@OttawaOldFart]

I was just going to say that

[@allengrant]

Good idea. Plinkster has a vid taking out carpenter bees with his printing tool loaded with snakeshot !

[@TheScoundrel70]

I have 2 on the way to me in Canada, as well as a 4.5L oval stainless pot. Lars, I hope you do a follow up on these with the different configurations and uses. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nhm86]

Really cool you got your self 2 of those, there is many great ways to use them. You dont have worry about the strings, i'v used and mine for some years now and they are all still on.

[@silentdecay]

Man, sorry to see so many of those flies. Green-eyed fighter planes to be certain!! Thanks for sticking it out as long as you did!! Peace.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Loved the girl in the woods video. She had you pegged! Ha,,ha!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

i really love that DPM and low level setup, very cool. As for the sodding Horse Flies, lol, nightmare, we have them here in summer, it sucks arse. lol. Rocking the DPM brother, cheers Moose.

[@davidminster2647]

Hey Lars, I like your new printing studio!

[@EdwardKowalski]

I've been carrying the similar Hunter XT daily for about 3 years now. Great tool the saw gets a surprising amount of use. You'll like this little guy. The parody was hilarious and the shelter interesting. Thanks Lars have an awesome week. :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you for the comment Ed :)

[@bob2sticks]

.......it seems this could be used as a stretcher or body bag because of the handles........

[@DaOneJoel]

"Green eyed fighter plane." Lmao. Also, that last grunt was a 100% accurate Arnold Schwarzenegger imitation.

[@southernwanderer7912]

I like that tarp shelter.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

I always appreciate your fantastic vids Lars.👍👍👍👍

[@dantheair7245]

I love watching you videos on my TV via xbox

[@rjhisle1973]

It looks really great. I guess my only two concerns are that thing looks like it takes up a lot of room when folded. My Basha Shelter can packed into an ammo pouch if needed, but this looks like it takes up a lot of room in a backpack. Also the dimensions are a little narrow for my liking at 160 cm wide but overall that does look like a great piece of equipment!

[@ericcorse]

That is pretty slick. We have green headed flies around here and they bite as bad as a horse fly.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Intersting. Seems like a good low profile shelter

[@banksarenotyourfriends]

I can't tell from the video,, but are those mystery pockets on the tarp not for keeping a stick/walking pole in place? Just my guess... All the best :)

[@banksarenotyourfriends]

OK so I should watch the whole video before commenting ;)

[@no_comms_no_bombs]

I recognize those combat-pants anywhere! Belgian camo FTW ;) as a Belgian soldier myself I'm really surprised that other people actually know about this camo since it's not really popular

[@ThePreparedNorseman]

Got one of these coming in the Mail from TheSovietRussia, will be doing an over night in it when it arrives for sure. Looks to be fairly stealthy and low profile.

[@SurvivalRussia]

They are very tough too!

[@ThePreparedNorseman]

Nice! Ever got the chance to sleep in yours? Also will be very interesting to see how that camO blends in here in Norway.

[@JoeOutdoors]

HEY!!! No sleeping on watch!! Thank you for the review!

[@jacobbuxton932]

Great video and cool tent! Too bad a lot of militaries now in days don’t use the shelter half/rain poncho idea. I guess now it’s obsolete because of advanced rain gear but still a cool use!

[@johnmoder5306]

This is the most tacticool tarp ever. Awesome ;-)

[@johnniewayneturner4604]

Funny you brought up brooke..that's how I found your channel

[@r.gilman4261]

Will those pockets on the shelter accommodate the handle of the sapper spade? Might that be your pole?

[@civilizationsend]

pouches are for pole ends

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing, that setup seems awesome with loads of possibilities. You always have the coolest toys !!!

[@RM-qn3ro]

Lars you humor is fantastic

[@calvinmientke3539]

I went fishing. The mosquitoes started biting. I thought of Lars saying not to get excited and it wasn't so bad after that. Interesting shelter. No instructions on how to get it folded up either? That is why we have stuff sacks, good enough!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Well done Calvin :)

[@calvinmientke3539]

Thanks!

[@willynthepoorboys2]

What you call green eyes we call horse flies in the U.S., and yes they are nasty buggers.

[@SurvivalRussia]

They surely suck :)

[@tjenahoj]

They are parasites, their eggs hatch inside horses or cattle and eat their way out as larvae... A tip is that they do not seem to be able to see white/light colors, science believes this is why the zebras are striped. I have had success with khaki clothing and US tricolor. Even "chocolate chip" seems to work decent as I am not attacked as much.

[@scottsotak7906]

Did you serve in the russian or danish military? If so, appreciate your service. No matter what country, EVERY man who served in protection of their country deserves the gratitude. Love your vidieos and did the log cabin make it to new place?

[@barukkazhad8998]

Nice....A bit low ..we put the Brit basha low in the day but at night we used to put it higher so we could do admin under them

[@SurvivalRussia]

I have a Basha. They are awesome :)

[@barukkazhad8998]

I still have my desert one like yours ..always have it with me on treks even if have a tent ,,,Very light and versatile . I would be very interested in anything else you can find out about that Russian one . Love your channel ..."It is what it is " has become a common phrase in my house lol

[@barukkazhad8998]

Lars ..would you let us know the basic area you live ? I would like to google maps how big the forest is and the local settlement you showed ..that would be supper awesome !! :)

[@kcjazz62]

Lars, the Ratnik gear was designed to block infrared signatures. I would like to construct this for personal use. I wish the instructions were translated completely. I like the design! Can anyone help?

[@Blueswailer]

That's a nice robust looking tarp, blends to the background pretty readily. Thank you for the demonstration Lars, have a great weekend! PS. My sympathies for the "egg" on your forehead, horse flies & deer flies are some of the worst insects out there. Hope the swelling has gone down now. We call those flies "Paarma" in Finnish, or "Vittu, taas se puri!!"("F*ck! Got bit again!") is preferable as well. Pardon the language, but those bugs just get it out of me every time they take a chunk out of my flesh and give me a sore swollen spot.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I really like that tarp/shelter. Yes, those "Paarma" are super bad :) Have a great weekend buddy!

[@THEESVN]

Cool video, i bought one of this in Syria camo but still not have a chance to use it.

[@PipoZePoulp]

When I saw the thing completed, I thought stealth camping in the UK this summer.

[@redsorgum]

Yes, and I commented on her parity of you. It was awesome! More great Russian equipment review!

[@newlife155]

The flies, try this Lars, get some duct tape, make a loop of it to stick to the top of your hat , they should land on it and get stuck. Worth a try..

[@nightwalker5278]

That was just awesome Lars. Great upload

[@GAUROCH2]

The pouches are to get the poles in, right?

[@southernbushcraft7357]

Lars, Your my hero...

[@woof132]

nice video. I have one of these tarps. great quality. lots of interesting features for what i am sure are a million ways of using it. lots of straps and tie down points. also the d ring coating keeps the rings silent. my biggest complaint is the width. it is around 2/3 the width of a british basha. in my opinion the Russian tarps are too narrow. Fine for certain shelters but it always leaves me wishing it was wider. you can strap as many of these tarps together as you want for a bigger shelter but then you need to carry multiple. and these tarps are heavy. i think the basha is better for one person. if the russian tarp were as wide as the basha i would pick the russian everytime. alas....

[@samvittoria9692]

DANG ! Printing tool is awesome and everything about survival Russia is awesome.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you :)

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

That looks like a cramped, yet effective shelter. Could it easily be hung by a ridge line? Neat stuff. Take care.

[@chrisosh9574]

It looks as though you have Spetznatz bugs there,if the Russian army could weaponize those biting flies they would be unbeatable.

[@John-lu3yq]

Thanks for the "Double D " rings we can always use more of those, all kidding aside, thanks Lars watch and enjoy all your vids

[@Jagermonsta]

Hey Lars, if someone was to give you a lapel microphone to clip to your jacket, would you use it? it would mean that editing would be trickier as you'd have a separate audio track to worry about and sync with the video, but might be better if you have audio issues with some of your cameras?

[@01cthompson]

Is the shelter designed to be used as a poncho as well? It's nice that they include the cordage that way. I am interested to see what those D-rings are for. Also, wait for the Swiss Army bug to bite. Those little knives are very handy and very addictive. I have WAY too many. :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

No it's not a poncho. I have an idea what the D-rings are for. Stay tuned :) You can never have too many Swiss Army knives :)

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Great piece of portable kit Lars👍

[@stuarth1996]

You are great man, keep up these great and informative videos.

[@evillabrador1]

Have checked out that Russian gear shop will make an order soon. Thanks for the head up.

[@tomritter493]

Nice shelter Lars !green eyed planes are they a tan grey color ? Yup they kick ! Looks like you got into a fight lol can't wait to see both up should be a good size well take care brother

[@j.c.v3176]

I want one!! Love your vids!

[@BaconSlayer69]

Try a BDU uniform top or a Vietnam era combat shirt too way more comfortable then what ur wearing in this video

[@canadianoutdoorsurvival]

Hello Lars, great video as usual! I bought one of these last year as I love the camo pattern. Only problem with it is that you need to know some kind of Russian Origami to be able to fold it back up to fit in the stuff sack. I have yet to figure it out so mine is just rolled up like a Basha. If you come accross any detailed instructions that show how to fold it please do share!

[@SurvivalRussia]

I folded mine up real easy. I will try and show it ASAP :)

[@canadianoutdoorsurvival]

Awesome thanks Lars!

[@johnstacy7902]

Are the d rings so you can use it as a stretcher? Just a guess

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Hello my good friend Lars. The Sony sound was good in this video, picked up the mosquitoes. Lars great video. 2 of those would still be tight for 4 people. Are those deer flies? We have horse and deer flies and they take a chunk out of you when they bite. I am of course having major cabin fever and awaiting winter when we have no ticks or bugs and can enjoy a fire in the woods. Have a great weekend coming up Lars and hello to the family from Teresa and myself. Cheers Fred

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Lars almost time to send another chocolate package your way....Fred

[@SurvivalRussia]

Hello Fred and Family :)I think they are deer flies. They have green eyes and light brown wings with spots on. They have nasty bite. In not too long the bugs will be less and we can be free men again :)

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Lars, Thanks for this interesting video. It looks like a great tarp/shelter. And what fantastic camo, sitting there on your 'lawn' it blended in extremely well. I'll check it out at The Soviet Russia store where I've already ordered some gear, thanks to you. I took a look at Brooke's tribute to you. She's very talented, one might say, awesome! So I subscribed to her channel because she has a good sense of humour and there aren't enough females doing outdoors videos; it's good to see. Cheers, mate, BH

[@sonicimperium]

Hey man, how you doing? Braving all the summer insects! Hot here in the eastern US for another day.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Fine thank you :)
