Another great video! Good to see new products coming out. If the bed is low enough, a large pile of leaves can be piled underneith as well. Saw a guy do that once when he forgot his underquilt hammock camping.

I can see that you are an excellent teacher. Some of this I have seen before but not of filling the bags after they are up and the space blanket as a condition use in this set up is a masterpiece idea. I am a camper of some good many years but never saw this side of it. Thank you very much for opening my mind.

Given a raised platform bed with a canvas sleeve and no dry browse available, presuming the ground is bare or too wet to burn, I suppose one could also heat up rocks in the fire and place them underneath the bed--ideally not glowing hot, and with at least a foot of space between the tops of the rocks and the bottom of the bag once your weight is on it. (Just be careful getting into bed so the poles aren't dislodged.)

Thanks Dave, great video. If I use my trash bags I'd cut just big enough holes for the poles, in the corners, then I can tie them off again to use as bags as needed.. re-use, save gear

I recently ordered a small kneeling pad from Bushcraft Spain and the quality was excellent. It was the oil cloth on one side and wool blanket on the other. Can't wait to get the bigger version.

Dave. Take what you just did here, and look at Lars S.R. site, Siberian Woodsman Chair. Combine both. You have a chair and a bed /camp quickly for hunting. Its Genius. The tarp is your pack. No tools, no weight, more room for hunting equipment. Perfect.

@figtreeprophecy2 жыл бұрын
Greeting David! I've done a similar thing with a raised bed. I didn't use 2 trees, I just made two tripods and I use foot long heavy duty zip ties for the construction. Like the plastic stakes, they double as fuel. And instead of 2, 6mil trash bags, I use a tarp. The tarp will be folded over so you have a double thick " mattress" and can also be filled with debris for insulation. The length of the tarp is the key. If the bed is 2 ft off the ground, 3 ft wide, one fold is 7 ft but you need 2 folds so 14 ft. So 14 ft is one dimension, the other dimension depends on how tall you are. 7 ft is usually suitable. This ensures that no wind will pass under the bed because the tarp ( doubled ) will go from ground to ground. By doubling the tarp you create a fold on one side which I take an 8 inch diameter or so log by 7or 8 ft long and slide it in the fold. This keeps the tarp taught using weight. On the side that has the two ends of the tarp, I connect the grommets together creating another fold which I use a second log of sufficient weight and length. Now all tarps dont have grommets that align correctly from end to end but some do, so that should be checked out ahead of time. But in lieu of attaching the grommets together, they, the 2 ends, can be staked down, whatever works to keep the sleeping portion of the tarp taught. Essentially it just means bringing an extra tarp to use as your mattress. By using 2 tripods, you can adjust the length on the bed and if you choose to use a tarp overhead, you can use a wood pole or cordage. Zip ties are convienient, cheap, light weight, strong and burn! But they're not reusable obviously. This also creates a pocket under the bed to fill with debris for insulation or gear in the event of rain. I prefer a 3 ft width for a bed and regardless of how taught you make it, it will sag just enough to be a bit more comfortable. Its actually easier done than said! But I like your set up in this video and will keep it in mind for a future sleep out in the great outdoors. Regards, Chuck I probably should add, to really cinch up a tight zip tie ( cable tie ) I use a multitool with pliers 👍

I miss the words multifunctionality, durability and reliability. Dave's favorites in the past. Why leaving that path? I've gone all the way from lightweight, ultra lightweight, bushcraft and survival. When it comes to reliability, the materials of the past are unbeatable. I started with Canvas and wool, i'll end with it now.. I've been carrying the small tarp from bushcraft Spain for the last year now. A must-have for an overnighter or multi-day trip. The old Nesmuk design with custom size for the slightly larger man of this century. In addition, I wear the multifunctional Plash Palatka poncho with a thin wool blanket as a bedroll every (day) trip. Very similar in Dave's application shown. These 3 big items are the most important with my home made haversac when I go into the woods on a short or longer adventure. Back to the basics feels good. More weight? Perhaps. But dump the conventional backpack and you will save 3-5 kg in weight. As we all know, the tarp or Palatka can also take over this task with some rope (ridgeline!) or a strap. Multifunctional, skills and imagination. Gadgets are never a good substitute for the comfort you have at home. If you live outdoors then live outdoors, not like at home. Less is more. The more experience you gain, the more you enjoy being outdoors.

Excellent video, Dave. I have learned so much about bushcraft from your books and KZbin videos. Thank you. I have always thought a browse or tick matress as the best option for bedding. It requires a lot of work to stuff the matress, but I believe it is much more reliable than the blow up sleeping pads. I just don't think they are very rugged and durable especially for long term survival. Anything to get you up and off the ground to keep from sucking the heat out of you will work. Then you can consider how to insulate below. Using 2 large trash bags or a matress designed specifically for that is great. It would be lighter, take up less space in a pack, possibly be more effective, and cost less than store bought sleeping pads.

The new tarp , new blanket with the tarp backing , limber willow or elm limbs ,easy to make a bed on the ground , I always liked a thick leaf bed or , cedar or pine tip limbs for cushion. I've awakened with a new snow on top of me . Shake my tarp off roll up , put my carrying ropes on it and keep going . Wish I'd known how to build this off the ground, back as a kid .
