😄 thanks. Really well done video. I bought this setup yesterday. I will use it as an emergency shelter for my car or as spare canvas tarps.

I have my grandfathers shelter half from WWII. Yours look like it is made out of a different material than his. His is made out of heavy canvas. He had another piece of canvas to be used as a floor. It was the first tent I had used when I went camping with him and my grandmother around 1980 when I was about six years old. I would have used it on my first camping trip with the Boy Scouts but someone allowed me sleep with them in their tent. That tent was over half the weight of what I brought.

I got one of these shelter half tents. Had since I was a kid in scouts. I like it but it’s def heavy to carry and really isn’t all that waterproof. I could wax it. It’s not a good tent for rainy weather since it don’t have a floor. It’s good for winter you can hear rocks in the fire and bury the hot rocks under the dirt lay your bed on top the rocks will radiate heat up all nite and the cold ground won’t be a problem. You will sleep good. Handles a snow load well since it’s heavy canvas. As a bonus you could rig it up on the back of your pickup truck now you’d be off the ground. Over all a good piece of gear. I bought mine in the 80s for $25 but the price of them now there is better options.

Original USGI issued guy ropes are looped on each end from the factory. The tents have canvas loops on each end you feed one loop of the rope through the canvas loop and then you feed the other end through the loop and pull through. then you can stake the ends down to where they are tight and the tent is standing upright once you do that you can move the rear stake closer to the rear flaps and you can slide the upper loop on the guy line down till the rope is pulled taut again and the tension will keep the loop secure and it won't slip.

That’s a great tip for setting up the tent properly.

@jackofalltrades7822 Also, a good idea is to brush up on your square knots. Because you are going to run into a situation where the factory loops come undone.

I do believe the extension on the pack makes it a large not medium. The medium can be used alone without the frame or with the frame. The patrol pack is actually the Medium Alice pack free of the frame.

With the shelter half…. You dont use tentpoles of the same height…. You want to use poles that are half height…. Maybe even less …. Ive seen shelters that use two of your three at the head…. And one at the feet making a asymmetrical plow point shelter ‘\ sort of like this from the side except the angles are not as steep …. In basic training we had a drill sgt who would take us down to the rainy day shed on sunday after noon and we would have brainstorming classes on ways to improve our shelters …. He showed us multiple variation of the one panel shelters. He also showed us ways to use a third section to give ourselves an insulated floor using leaves , adding a rain guard by draping the third panel over top the tent, even using a fifth tarp between two complete tents to provide an improved vestibule. He also showed us how the tarp can be used as a blanket over top of the sleeping bag to hold in heat better when in squad tents
