The Gunyah Tarp Shelter

[@andrelaschet3957]

Nice one! I think the first person to come up with this version (at least on KZbin) is “Scotty’s gone walkabouts” and he explains it very well in “5 unique tarp shelters …”. It’s my go to shelter when I don’t need something more secure (tarp tent) or easier (plow point).

[@GruntProof]

nice man!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Just came across this vid. It’s great to see you giving the Gunyah shelter a go. I’ve been using it for several years now and it’s hands down my favourite shelter. I named it the gunyah which is the aboriginal word for ‘shelter’. Makes sense haha. What’s great about it is if it’s raining heavy, you can get rid of the smaller stick and drop that flap to the ground, which creates a kind of plow point shelter. There’s a vid on my channel about it.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Right on!

[@Olyphoto7]

Hope you feel better soon. Nice setup. I learned many years ago of how to sit at home and explore different tarp shelter options by using a sheet of paper cut to match the proportion of your tarp, square or rectangle. Take the paper and fold different configurations until you find a few options to try in the wild, then pack your gear and see if it works.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Rehearsals can’t be overstated.

[@williamconger1951]

Great instructional video! I first saw the Alien on top of the line running across the pole in front of your pack (5:10) and fall to the ground (5:11) and back perched back on the line again (5:16), top of your backpack (7:30). Love all your BELT FED, GAS CHAMBERED, FULL STOKERMATIC SURVIVAL SYSTEMS.

[@marclucier2533]

Awesome configuration. I live in the high desert. So I’m constantly changing configurations. Get well

[@Redbeardfowlhunter]

Awesome setup I’m digging it. Stay stoked my friend

[@noblast1967]

Great setup. Little green fella was just hanging out on the top of your ruck.

[@sharkk2770]

A very efficient set up. Pop up hunting blinds can be a super easy and quick shelter also. I'm Stoked!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Very true!

[@ericl7917]

Gotta love the beginning. Most dogs see a stick and thinks its time to play, Riggs sees a tree and thinks it's time to play. Like the set-up but because of my disability I gotta stick to a hammock and tarp setup

[@STOKERMATIC]

Tarps are awesome - glad your able to still get out.

[@grumpybuzzard7131]

hope you get to feeling better quickly!

[@rowvelations]

Looks like a Stoked Gunyah shelter. Versatile set-up. Hope you are feeling better. Stay Stoked!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Doing better now. Thanks!

[@shadowscout9872]

Feel better. Saw the green man tucked into your pack.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Good tarp shelter design Bill! Yes, I normally carry a ground sheet

[@gardenbasha22]

That is one STOKED BASHA set up. I must try that with my basha shelter sheet. Rigs is a Star👋

[@STOKERMATIC]

He’s a ham!

[@davidb.cooper3296]

Like this configuration another thing to practice

[@brianduffie8200]

Nice shelter,feel better

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Ya I find one I saw it on full spectrum survival. On one of his video . perfect camouflage and it was right behind him Part of the leaves but I saw it . God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

[@charlessaville8418]

Good detail good class

[@markusschaffer9712]

Hope you start feeling better soon. Good shelter idea!

[@robyngrogan7647]

Great Setup

[@Dingleowl1582]

Another great video stoked 👍

[@louiemorris9598]

Looks good. I'll try the STOKED shelter. If you feel yourself getting sick, drink plenty of liquor. It will kill it or finish you off. Either way you won't care. LOL. Hope you get to feeling better.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Doing better amigo.

[@keithrayeski6417]

The billboard tarps.. you can buy huge, cut easy to multiple sizes…install grommets wherever….my biggest unknown is weight! Well…can it be painted and retain paint during folding and transport? Curious topic… maybe even make knapsacks…I’m sure they aren’t tyvex light…but I have no doubt they are more durable!!!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Sounds like a great project to mess around with!

[@brentgilbert4208]

What a great dog!!!

[@STOKERMATIC]

He’s my buddy!

[@johnburgin7478]

Had to watch it twice to get the footprint of the shelter in my head . I see your assistant had to do a split second adjustment to the camera . Hope you shake what’s ailing you . Have a great evening

[@STOKERMATIC]

Yeah he did. I’m much gooder now.

[@Joker96G]

Great video! New subscriber!

[@arctodussimus6198]

You’re not a big fan of tea, but you’ve been hanging out with Tom from across the pond…… he’s brought out you inner-tea! lol But seriously, he’s a good dude and another of the few channels whose videos I really appreciate, and pass on to my friends and family. 👍🏼👍🏼 🇺🇸🇬🇧

👊🥃

[@762M80]

I dig it. What size tarp are you using in this video?

[@STOKERMATIC]

10X10

[@jamesparker6383]

Great video, thank you. The name of that config. is called the gunyah. In your pack

[@dennisseverns4014]

Curious what size tarp that is? Don't think I could do that with my military poncho. Not even sure my 10'x10' (3x3 meter) would be big enough for that. Does look like it would work well. Thanks for sharing this.

[@STOKERMATIC]

I used a 10X10

[@rob.lundberg0513]

Stoker! Great video. How large of a tarp were you using in this video?

[@STOKERMATIC]

10x10

[@friendofcoal]

In your opinion, what is the best military tarp/basha, Top?

[@STOKERMATIC]

The US doesn’t use them, we’ve used ponchos. So I enough time any specific one - but I do like the British one - would just prefer in Multicam tropic or M81.

[@MichaelR58]

Good setup , rest up and feel better , I saw a green alien on your backpack , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@STOKERMATIC]

Feeling much better.

[@MichaelR58]

@@STOKERMATIC great news 👍

[@brandyhouston2105]

Nice, I learnt some more as I'll be trying the shelter next time me an Zeus go abushing....lol..really sucks when you gotta keep working when ya feel like crap. Thanks for the instructions, entertainment, and, inspiration! 😎Rigs for president!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Yeah, was out this weekend in a storm. Will see how the footage works out. But, it’s good to work through different variables, especially when nothing is on the line.

[@goodredman]

Do hope you’re feeling better. Question, what size tarp are you using? For some reason thinking there’s tarp shelter style like this called a pile driver. Maybe I got that all wrong I should do some research. 😅 Do like itt will try your setup. For now My ground cloth is a separate peace old German Bundeswehr elephant skin ground sheet. Contemplating making modifications due to the fact it has no grommets or tie off points. Thanks for sharing definitely enjoyed watching your adventure in the woods with your beautiful dog. My best friend’s a bit smaller, but he loves going no matter where it’s gonna be hard to leave me at home they miss us too much.

[@goodredman]

Hilarious! I just remembered it’s not pile driver it’s plow. That’s what I thought your tarp set up look like the plow method. Glad to see someone else out in the woods enjoying time with their best friend.🎃

[@STOKERMATIC]

Love my time outdoors with Riggs - it I think he loves it more.

[@joejoyce1286]

Motrin and water Devil Interesting setup Might try it Have you heard/tried Henry Shires Tarp tents? Basically a siliconized nylon tarp turned into a tent So No fly needed Stoopid light weight I believe they are marketed to the ultra light BP crowd Worth a look Let’s be honest Riggs knows what the people want dammit Hence the camera hogging … That’s just a good dawg with upper management written allll over him! Outstanding stuff as always.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Haven’t seen them, but sounds like a great system!

[@jerrycollins4893]

I like this!

[@jory6781]

Yes i found it

[@keithrayeski6417]

So I like the “Stoked” tarp shelter. I do. You’re right there’s always different situations coming up and, it means that your needs will change with them…but this is nice. If I’m planning fire beyond a Dakota fire pit or small cooking fire…I like a larger open front. Too small an opening will either cause you to sweat sleeping (bad) or the heat will cool before it gets deep into your shelter creating cold spots…(bad, most often). It’s why I like the longer open front. What size tarp did you use?! Here’s a thought brother…field test one of these “billboard” tarps that are the rage! Lots of possibilities with one!!! Next…TEA!! My friend…you weren’t feeling well and was sittin smack dab in the middle of a cure!!!! Pine needle tea!!! Quick, easy…WICKED natural medicinal…and FAST results!! As you drink it fast!! Check it out… even Riggs would like it!! 😁👊🏻🇺🇸

[@STOKERMATIC]

10x10. Haven’t seen the billboard ones but will check em out. Feeing better now. Appreciate ya brother!!

[@kurtbaier6122]

Cool

[@charlesborum3910]

Get some Alka-Seltzer nighttime cold plus mix it with airborne and chase it with whiskey guarantee it will knock it out

[@dennisseverns4014]

Was not even thinking about spotting an alien, was looking for Sasquatch as you were walking through the woods with the drone following you.

[@STOKERMATIC]

He’s out there somewhere.

[@dennisseverns4014]

@@STOKERMATIC they are out there!

Knew an alien once,called him Jose !

It's rigged alot like a Townsend wheeling tent .

Make the first pole taller to improve interior space & entry/exit when closed up. As far as I can tell, this is the guy who originated it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHKaq6uMnNFoiK8

Get better lil single malt and some rest . 🥃🥃

Much gooder now. 🥃

[@jerrycollins4893]

Minimalist. Easy enough to cook in from your sleeping bag.

[@stuartmastroianna5642]

I think the folks over at "Wilderness Innovations" call it a Whelan style setup; kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXjPaKuXiLiWnq8 . I've also seen it called an "Adirondack" setup. It does resemble a "Whelan Lean to" if you bring the ends in some. Thanks for all the good information I've garnered from your videos over the past month or so since you first popped up on my screen.
