Bog Bed,Grill,Grits and Poncho Tag

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Its actually comfortable too! I learned along time ago that two big branches were uncomfortable , two smallones flexed and broke, 4 small ones flexed and held up quite comfortably. Im glad you liked the clips in the ole pocket thing, they come in handy. If you ever get any and use them, throw them away when the end protecters fall off or they will cut your tarp or poncho. I love using the quad pod. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Im glad you have learned from me. Yes, the glare is on the lcd screen. It makes it where I cant see anything in the screen especially if Im in the shot. I'll try that trick, it sounds like it may work. Filming myself is avery tricky thing to do at times. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That was a perfect spot for the hanging grill. One time, Nick and I had two shelters, two backpacks and one grill all hanging out of one lone tree in the middle of a swamp! there was rope tied to everything,lol. I have lots of ideas and lots of memories of things Ive set up in the past. theres always something new and nutty I can do for a video,ha ha. Keep watching brother and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. Grits are dried crushed corn. They are cheap , simple to make and pretty much been a staple food of the south for over a hundred years. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I have never had this roof cave in whenever theres leaves on the tree. It seems to slow down the rain. I will say when theres no leaves or the rain will be very heavy, I put small limbs under the poncho to give it a dome shape. I only use a poncho when I have to. Most of the time I carry a tarp. I'm glad you like the vids bro. Us Southerners think alike! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hmm, Ive added alot of stuff to my grits while growing up but, I never thought about adding eggs. that does sound cool. Even cooler when you call them SwampMonkey Grits, Ha Ha. I could probably make them grills but I bet there wouldnt be a huge market for them.Good idea tho. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well years ago I went out on overnighters and two night trips almost every weekend. It slowly went to one nights only then if went to about once a month. Now I hike and do a lot of day trips and barely have time to squeeze in two over nighters a month. work, family life and youtube keep me very very busy. Heck, I have trouble finding time now days to just make videos. LOL. I'm glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well hello friend! Let me start by saying thank you for commenting and I dont bite so comment away, LOL. Alot of people thought the tree shelter was nuts until they actually saw how easy it was to set up given the right trees. It is fun tho and I try to have fun and laugh throughout all the vids. In that case you never know when you'll need to sleep high up in a tree.

[@Shubba2529]

Some people may just see a simple Georgia Country dude, I see a Master Bushcraftsman and a Genius !

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad I make you laugh, Heck, I even make me laugh. Like I said, the cat did it, ha ha. thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. It always makes me feel good when a father and son both like this kinda stuff. My son and I go out quite often on these crazy camping trips. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool! My father in law had a box warehouse up in hendersonville NC so Ive been up there quite a bit in the past. I love the area. Yes, when its very very hot and humid here, the mosquitios are horrible. It was pretty cool when I was there. Im glad you liked it, thanks for subscribing and watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Cool, Im glad it gave you ideas. Its hard to beat a hammock and tarp for warm weather camping. Good move on getting a medium alice. I have a large and a medium and the medium really isnt good but for minimal gear trips. theres always been enough room in my large alice for everything I need. Take care Ronnie and thanks for watching my friend.

[@thegooch7206]

Dave I don't know if you saw the other posts I left on other videos but that grill needs to be patent and produce to get out to other people, I definitely want one of those grills. Great job buddy, Keep the videos coming. I've learned a lot from you. Thank you.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Mark! I was originally shown this shelter with two big stiff logs. They were uncomfortable. Thin ones broke, four thin ones held up but flexed enough to make this one very comfortable. Even better in the summer when the wind is swaying you,lol. The quad pod cooking system is fantastic for setting up fairly quick with no cordage. Great for burn bans too so you can build over water or a mud puddle. Im glad you liked it bro. thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh well, it was 10 months ago and it was fun to go watch it again. Im subbed to alot of people and I just watch the videos and rarely comment. My box is slap full of comments everyday and its hard to keep up with them as is. I had never heard of the Picogrrill. I looked it up and it seems like a really cool design. I saw two different ones, one that took a burner and a pot and one the had a skewer and was a wood burner. Both very nice. Thanks for sending that to me.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

thanks big man! Im glad you like the videos and what I do. I like to show that bushcraft and camping can and should be fun. Lifes too short to be serious or miserable. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Tons of good ideas in this one to use or modify. Good luck , have fun and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Shawn! There are a few more set ups for this grill but none of them as neat as being set up on a quad pod. Ive stretched it on bungees, sat it on rocks and even used it over a dakota pit. Very handy to have. Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, Im glad you liked it. I do love making these videos when ever i can find time to. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I live in the NorthWestern tip of Georgia. thats where I do just about all my camping. Sometimes its near the Alabama state line or even across the line. I have always just made the grills for myself unless its just a plain ole flat one that lays on rocks. I dont really have time to make the more complicated ones. Im glad you like the videos and the humor. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! It was fun for me to film this one, the grits eating part was the most fun for me,lol. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That sounds good. I have heard of Polenta but never tried it. I think I would like that its more coarse ground. Grits are pretty runny because they are so finely ground. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thats cool that you made one of my stoves. theres nothing mosre fun than homemade gear. Im not good at fishing but I love to go too. thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked the grill. Yes, there were snakes every where. I stop moving when I see them and they keep on going in their direction. Yes, I have three stools and Ive put two of them into videos. Look at "Treeless Hammock, Bushcraft Stool and knots" and I think the other stool may be in "Double tagged! My spiritual connection with the woods" The one in the treeless hammock is the best one tho. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Malaria, Bog Bed,Grill,Grits and Poncho Tag... man, at night I can just imagine the mosquitos. Good job David...the grill is awesome.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh the skeeters can be horrible! It helps to have long sleeves gloves and a head net.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man, Im glad you liked it, I do sleep like a log. I bet someone that tosses and turns could never sleep in it. I do love that machete, its a shame they dont make it anymore. I kinda had the idea to combine the saw with it and I love how it turned out. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro, Im glad you liked it. Grits are pretty much a staple of the southerners diet, LOL. It does have about the same texture as cream of wheat, just a little more flavor. Its dried crushed corn. Have you got any machetes in mind? I hate freezing too. The tent heaters sound cool. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@terawattyear]

I really liked how you were able to build an off the ground bed with just one tree. And the cooking setup you have is equally impressive. A very educational and enjoyable vid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. Like I always say, theres not much rope cant do. Im glad you liked it, it was a tough one to film. It being in the swamp and me doing all the camera set up is a ton of work but, I do love the swamp.lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It looks just like porridge to me too. Kinda tastes like polenta if you know what that is. Grits are dried crushed corn. Its some really good eating and very easy to carry and cook on the trail. Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, I have some alum flashing that I carry with the grill when needed. I just didnt show it. Its the type of thin flashing like you use under roof shingles in corners. I never tried maple syrup on grits, that sounds good. I LOVE shrimp and grits. I first tried them at CrawDaddys in Charelston SC and Ive been hooked ever since. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! Im glad you liked it man. More in the works, and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It is made by a company called IC cut. they stopped making them sometime around 2005 or 2006. It is a very nice machete. Easy to swing and has a nice handle to it. I dont use it very often because I dont really want to wear it out. I bought the SOG saw seperate from it and attached it to the sheath. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Having all them different grills does make cooking so much more fun. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad the videos have enriched your life. Ive never been to Texas but I would like to go one day.

[@funkyprepper]

Hey Dave, Forgot to mention - i now know how to do that knot you used - thanks so much my friend. this is something i will remember for the rest of my days. The way you showed it was so clear and easy to follow unlike some other knot video's on here - can you do a video with some more knots that you know? Your a great teacher & fun to watch, love the south accent too :)

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it bro. theres a bunch of uses and set ups for a poncho. Looking forward to more of your videos man. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! the grill is a little weird but very useful in many situations. It makes it very easy to get air to the fire. Im glad I inspire, I like it when folks like to try out my weird ways of doing stuff. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

The tripod is pretty nice, the old one is really a piece of junk. Sad thing is all the mud that got packed into the bottom of the legs after this trip,lol. Im glad you liked it, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Hello Mike, well I have tried a few times before and it seems I never have luck with primitive or improvised fishing when a camera is around, lol. I'd rather do it with out a store bought pole. I have a long list of requests and I'll try to get that one in sometime. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro.I love making these videos and make them when ever I have free time. I remember youre name from when I first started this channel. thank you for the support and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks man. Most of the single tree beds wind up being the width of the tree. I can fit in them and sleep in them but they are not very comfortable. Now, some of the beds that are made with 4 or more trees, I try to make them as wide as I can. My Tarp bunk shelter is probably the widest and most comfortable bed. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Paul! The grill really does a good job of keeping the fire going without having to move the wood all around. It gets plenty of air with how its set up. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

They are very good, all they are is dried crushed corn. I guess its kinda like corn in a blender, lol. Its an excellent trail food too. Im glad you liked the video bro. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you liked it, Theres several different ways of using it. I show them in the second half of "Makin The Swamp Grill" if you have time to check it out. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Thats a great compliment. I learned along time ago that the more of your gear you can make at home, the more fun it is to use it. And Im too cheap to buy stuff,lol. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I like the solitude of these lousy wet areas but, I do hate all the water and mud I have to deal with. It makes filming very tricky. I always use a machete because I dont really have to process much wood here. If I lived in a very cold environment, I think an axe would be a better choice. That shelter is a very good one for ares like this one if you can find just the right trees. As far as I know, that grill is a one of a kind. Take care brother and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! I do love them grits, I was raised on them and never tired of them. Thanks for the comments, I hope your family is well too Nick. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it that much! Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Those are some kinda no name el cheapo brand clips. I bought them at Big Lots. Whatever kind you get make sure they have rubber tips on them to protect your poncho or tarp. Im glad you like my stoves and grills. I have a really cool tree grill in my latest vid if you havent seen it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! That grill is a ton of fun to cook on. Yes, the grits are cool. Even cooler when some folks have never heard of them,lol. take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@billy_dingo7]

Have watched about half of your videos and plan on the rest here shortly. I've never tried anything like what you do , nor own anything close to what you have ... but I my attention (and intention) is set on changing that. Thanks so much, your down to earth demeanor is priceless...you have to be the coolest guy I know. Big Man in Maine

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I have never had yellow grits but Ive seen them. Im not sure if most store bought grits are made from white corn or yellow corn but, I bet its more of a case of them being bleached. That being said, I bet the grits you got were about as fresh ground as can be. I bet them was some good grits. Thanks for sharing that story, its pretty cool. And thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it. This is a pretty cool way of making a bed out of one tree. This is also the set up I use for high up in the trees too. I quit filming up high tho, its just too much hassle to film. Im always happy to share, Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Im glad you like the videos. I normally dont sell them but, Im making three now so, whats one more. I'll PM you. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

No, I have never ever heard of it! Sounds interesting tho, I gotta give it a try. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Brother! I gotta say, I have no idea why not many others have carried rope. Its got so many uses and its just plain handy with all camp chores. Im glad you like what I do and the ole grill. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Tim! It is pretty light weight and theres other set ups for that grill too. I have alot of good ideas and alot more that are too dangerous and too stupid to show,lol. I have set up my cooking system very close to my bed before in the swamp just to help keep the bugs away. Smoke works better than a mud mask,lol. take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Most folks use a heavy DDT spray. I hate the stuff because in the summer it sweats away and gets in my eyes. I usually wear long sleeves, gloves, a do rag and a head net. Ive never had a problem with skeeters when I cover up that much. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Lots of ideas and lots of memories of nutty camping trips to draw from. I actually dont sleep much,lol. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked the shelter. I have plain ole fishing poles like everyone else but, if you mean my minimalist, bushcraft survival type stuff I already have. Its in an old video of mine called "Stick and vine bed and fishing kits" Check it out if you have time. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! That grill makes it sooo easy to cook because it gets alot of air to the fire without having to stoke it constantly. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

GI? LOL, I like that man! I have a pile of grills in my basement now. Yes, one for any area I care to go to. My favorite one so far is the V grill that attaches straight to a tree. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Temp0raryName]

Dang, that was inventive! I never would have thought of the 'hanging bed', in a month of Sundays. Even when you had it mostly made, I assumed it was just going to be lent against the tree, rather than getting you a cosy horizontal hammock-like affair. Then, you go and top that, big time, with the quad-pod grill!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Mark! I'm happy you liked it brother. This bed style is handy in so many cases it's one of my favorites for snow, swamps and wetlands!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. When its wet or the ground it muddy and soft, its a very quick and easy no cordage set up. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Gev! Normally when its almost completely covered in water I call it a swamp. I think when its all wet and muddy below the grass, I call it a bog. In truth, calling it a mud hole bed and grill doesnt sound cool,so I tried the bog thing, Ha Ha. The food and bed were really nice for it to be such a lousy area. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im zadowolony, że się podobało. To naprawdę robi dobrą robotę utrzymując ogień dalej. Robi dużo powietrza.Łóżko jest bardzo wygodne do spania w. dzięki za komentarze i podziękowania do oglądania mojego przyjaciela.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. For some reason I have always been attracted to the wetlands. I have several shelters that if you have trees, the wetlands can be quite comfortable. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, I really dont know of many folks that would camp or sleep in these wet sloppy enviornments unless they are nuts, Ha Ha. I do hate bending over to do anything, especially cooking. Nothing stinks more than squatting down, cooking, standing up and getting the ole head rush too,lol. These beds look kinda rough but, if the branches are just right and the rope is weaved just right, they are quite comfortable. I glad you like the vids Karen, I love making em. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! It is very tough to film in that area. Everytime I move the tripod I have to watch it for a minute to make sure it doesnt sink,lol. The mud gets everywhere too. I do like butter ,cheese or bacon bits when Im at home. In the middle of a swamp tho, any grits are good, ha ha. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'm glad you liked it brother, I gotta say, most all of my vids are very different. I do a lot of weird never before seen things. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! Grits are just ground up corn. Its ground and dried so it can be stored in packs or boxes dry then hot water brings it back to life kinda similar to porridge. Grits can be compared to Polenta or Farina. Its been a favorite in the south here forever. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Geza! I can pretty much sleep and eat in any swamp or wetland no matter how much water if there at least a few trees in the area. My old mentors always taught me to never look for a good campsite. Be able to camp anywhere. And camp we did, ha ha. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I am southern therfore I am southern boy, Ha Ha. I put sugar in them when I was a kid, i stopped doing that years ago. Im glad you liked the cook stand and shelter. Yes, I bet the bed could be easily set as a draw bridge type thing with a pulley. That would be cool if you were trying to hide it during the day. Hmmmm. Interesting concept. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Oh man, the things i could do with a 2x4 in the woods. Im thinking, paradise,lol. The bog bed in this one is actually pretty comfortable. Its rough if you use two big thick logs because they dont give. Thin ones break. 4 thin ones hold but, the bend into a comfortable bow. Im glad you like the vids. I love making em. take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it. Well, during the winter time, I have on a lot of clothes and can sleep in any set up. During the summertime, I weave the beds a little tighter and sometimes use foam pads. With thinner clothes on it does suck. LOL Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

LOL, thanks brother! Believe me, I love it when my videos get watched. The grits are fantastic. You can add so much things to them to make em different every time. Salt, pepper, butter, sugar, cream or even bacon bits. Theres lots of climate, conditions and environments where not much works but a suspended fire. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Grits are made from dried crushed corn. Kinda like polenta in a way. I saw your raised bed and I thought it worked out ok. If your loops sagged down in the night it may be the rope youre using. too slick a rope will unravel itself. A very important step is when you make the crossover loops, you have to double wrap around the branch to lock it in. I was going to show it but, I was afraid the battery would die before I got the grits done. Take care and thanks for watching brother.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. I hate to hear about the wildfire. I know it happens but its so depressing to see it all get burnt up. You stay safe too bro. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

That cooking stand is a handmade one of a kind. You would either have to have a friend that can weld or try to modify some store bought grills to be set up like it. I have heard about my accent being so cool. Its good to hear that, some of my co workers just say I talk funny, Ha Ha. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I got mine in person at an army navy store in Marrietta Georgia. you can find them on line under the name Rothco G.I, plus canteens. the 1 and 2 quart canteens and the covers are all made by a company called Rothco. Hope that helps, thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro. anytime you can get out and get some fresh air and cook and sleep outdoors its a good day. It is the most fun a person can have. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Im glad you liked it Tony. I like to tag the young and talented bushcrafters when i can. Old guys like me are not the future of youtube video makers, its the younger guys. they need to be encouraged and supported when ever possible. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! I do love grits anytime but, they are for some reason extra good in the middle of a swamp,lol. Take care brother and thanks for watching my friend.

[@ronhart288]

Nice tree bed with shelter. Nice job making portable grill for cooking in wetlands. You did it!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Ron Hart Thank you Ron, I'm glad you liked em both. They worked great out there!. Thanks for watching.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! The quad pod is a fantastic way of cooking in wetlands and setting up with no cordage. The floating rope bed is one of only two ways I know of to sleep in a single tree. Its actually quite comfortable to sleep in too. Im a grits eating kinda guy,lol. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend.

[@funkyprepper]

fantastic video my mate ;) love the quad pod idea - very nice & the floating bed is cool grits LOL nice 1

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! I know some folks can sleep on the ground but I try not to. Hammocks for some reason hurt my back, and I aint sleeping in the swamp water, LOL. Man this palce was ate up with water moccasins. They were everywhere I looked when I came in. They tapered off for some reason where the thicker trees started. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, that grill is homemade. You would have to find someone that can weld one like it or, the do sell round grill replacements for smokers that can be modified. Im glad you think its awesome. Its alot of fun to cook on if I say so myself. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Well, I got mine in a army navy surplus store in Marrietta Georgia. the name of the company that makes it is called "Atlanco" I have found them on the internet under that name. Its the thickest poncho Ive found yet. Lots of other ponchos are good for rain but, they tear when you use them as shelters too often. Try typing in Atlanco poncho into google then hit shopping instead of web. I think youll find 4 different sites that carry it. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I'll run out of grills one day,lol. I use that taut line hitch for attaching to just about all my tree shelters. I do often run into areas where theres only one tree. Polenta is made from dried corn meal. Grits is made from dried crushed corn so, its pretty much the same stuff, just a little coarser. I had a snake try to run me off when I was in the cattails but,Iran him off instead and finished the video,lol. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Bro! I always love grits, anytime, any place. Im sorta getting used to the new camera and its setting but, i still hate it. The grill worked great and the bed was very comfortable. It even didnt collapse, Ha Ha. Take care and thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

They are very comfy in the winter time with a thick jacket and thick pants. During the summer time they are just kinda so so on the comfort.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the grill. Theres a few more set ups for this grill too. I show them at the end of another video called "The Making and Uses of The Swamp Grill" if you have time to watch. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.

[@rythymroach]

Geez Louise bro, that's the slickest rope bed hammock thing I have seen yet I think!! Lol, that's just off the chart cool as all outdoors man!! I gotta try and build one of these rascals just for the heck of,it, and I'll do it on dry land, cuz skeeters up here use titanium drills lol!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

+Gregory House Thanks Brother! This is a good one for swamps wetlands AND, its actually used way high up in trees. I was going to show this up high like I sometimes use but its impossible to film that high up. Give it a go sometime man. Thanks for watching

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

This one uses 100 feet. Id say almost all my shelters use 100 feet of rope. The only one I can think of that uses more is the Extreme weather shelter that comes in at 200 feet. Theres no reason to set that one up tho unless the wind is going to be dangerously high. 100 feet should be enough. also, most of them use 100 feet and a few I carry two 50 ft. coils. Thanks for watching.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

McGyver retired and I took his place, Ha Ha. Im glad you liked it bro. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks bro! theres about three more uses for the grill that I'll try to show in the future. The bed was very comfortable. I took along nap after the grits,lol. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@dillotexan]

Yeah, while my skills are not as evolved as yours, I've tried the whole "hosting" thing with friends. There are just too many different priorities and levels of interest to keep it relaxing. Thanks for "virtually" leading us into the woods with these videos. They have enriched my life and sparked my imagination. If you are ever in Texas, give me a shout... I'd love to see what you would do with some of the mountain juniper and rattlesnakes around here.
