You'll WISH You Had This Single Item

[@breaking_bear]

This shelter is too legit! I'm so grateful to you Justin. I never thought of this before and it's so simple and easy! I'm going to show my 3 year old son how to do this.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Yessir, family is everything. I had my son out the other day helping me prep the materials for this video. He had a blast sawing up the 4 branches. Have fun with your son. See ya on the next one.

[@FlashaholicsUSA]

FINALLY! You’re posting long form videos. Rejoicing! 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂 this was great man. Going to order this blanket. Thanks for sharing.

[@justinuriahphoto]

I'm glad you enjoyed the longer format! 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

LONG FORM!!! Rejoice all! Our favorite woodsman is now giving us even more in depth videos. Thanks Justin. This is awesome :) :)

[@justinuriahphoto]

Brother, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Tons more coming. 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

I got one of those from Pathfinder, it came with a damaged grommet. This is like 2 days after Christmas...I email the company and within a couple of days had a replacement, told me to keep the damaged one. Amazing company.

[@justinuriahphoto]

That's great customer service!

[@papajeff5486]

I have the Pathfinder emergency blankets in each of my cars. The Mylar blankets are a ridiculous waste. Spend one cold, wet night in one, you’ll see. The laminated Pathfinder blankets are much much better…and they are available at a reduced price if you buy anywhere other than Pathfinder store…from an old vet, retired in the foothills of east Tennessee.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Appreciate the tip and the feedback. 🤝🏼

[@mickeycrawford121]

yep i have a couple of those blankets. durable and they do reflect the heat back on you. but i have had one failure because of high winds. on the corners, instead of just running the cord back through the grommet, use a toggle on each corner. the toggle will distribute the pressure over a larger area. and won't pull the corners apart. just my experience.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thanks for the suggestion! 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@ulrikeneitch9887]

Excellent points made. Great video. Now, if we can get Pathfinder manufacturers to make a color change from camouflage green to a light blue for civilian use. Since the blanket will most likely be used in an emergency situation, an easy to spot color would help both ground based search and rescue personnel and air rescue to locate a person experiencing an emergency! Green makes sense for military use, but for recreational users, an easy to locate color could save lives.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thanks for the feedback. I was looking on their site and it looks like they also have it in blaze orange. Both options are nice in case you want to be more stealthy or visible.

[@flyoverkid55]

One of, if not the, biggest mistakes people make is going into a wilderness area and underestimating the conditions. When I go on any hike I pack as though I'll get caught in a storm or other circumstance that requires I hunker down for 12-24 hours. I've spent hundreds of dollars and many hours learning to use the gear I may need, why leave it all at home?

[@justinuriahphoto]

I agree, you need to be prepared.

[@InVinoVeritas.]

Carry a military poncho, useful & smaller footprint.

[@justinuriahphoto]

I'll put together a video using one in a similar way soon! Thanks for the feedback.

[@craig2795]

I do exactly this 👍 Old school habits that still work. I carry this with an emergency bivy bag. Now I have never needed them, but twice over the years I have used them to come to the aid of those on the hills I have found unprepared. As part of my hiking and camping in the back of my mind that I will Always potentially come across those who will need my help.

[@justinuriahphoto]

@@craig2795 A guardian mindset is good to have! Thanks for sharing.

[@blackhawkbushcraft]

Nice! 👍 The Pathfinder emergency blanket is a great product, especially if you reinforce the grommets/tie-out points with some Gorilla tape using Dave’s method. It’ll last for several uses before needing replaced. Another great product is the SOL heavy duty XL emergency blanket-super light weight, durable, and easy to rig. The SOL doesn’t have tight-out points, but an easy quick-fix with Gorilla tape and paracord loops.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Great suggestions!

[@breaking_bear]

Oh my gosh, it's so great to see you in full screen brother!

[@justinuriahphoto]

Brother, I'm stoked you enjoyed the new video!

[@danmartin3402]

I made one years ago using a Walmart mylar emergency blanket and a Walmart 5x7 nylon tarp and a can of spray adhesive. Carried it with me whenever I hiked into the Sierra back country to fly fish in case of an emergency.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Sounds like you had a great plan!

[@gud2go50]

I really like how you setup the bipods. This is my first time watching one of your videos and I can see Pathfinder course written all over it!😂 Look forward to watching more videos from you.😊

[@SusanLocklear-p2m]

Yeah 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@danielsayles5114]

Thank you for videos. They are very informative and make bushcraft interesting and applicable.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Glad you find them helpful!

[@patricecohen6605]

A nice setup. I used to carry what was at the time the Grabber survival blanket before being copied by so many brands. But I ending ditching it because of the weight and the bulk. I keep forgetting taking it… Instead I am using a piece of Window Insulation Covering. It comes in different size but the one I use is a cut from a 90in (228cm) by 393in (10m) costing 26usd on Amazon. The folded size is double the size a thermal blanket for 3,5oz (100g). I can place it in the front or back pocket of my pant. I used it to protect the floor and as a tent as shown here. Not as rugged as the Grabber/pathfinder but largely enough for several days in the woods and soo light. Is does not resist punctures well (despite lots of people using it as a ground sheet for tent) but I placed one on top of my hammock and it stayed outside for 6 months enduring wind sun rain.

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thank you for sharing! I’ll have to check it out on Amazon. If you have a link please send it. I’m always looking at new ways to create things. 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@thevirginiabushcrafter8833]

Excellent Demonstration. Thanks for Sharing

[@justinuriahphoto]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TMJ17JJ]

Absolutely love this long form. I can watch with the kids. 🪵🏕️🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thanks for the feedback! It’s great to hear families are enjoying the content. 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@apepex1464]

Honestly if I was stuck somewhere I wouldn’t be building a shelter. I would find a natural shelter, lean to, bush, or tree to prop myself and cover myself with the emergency blanket then sleep. I’m use to napping all day and in uncomfortable situations, setting up tents is overrated sometimes.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Great informative video my friend, thank you for sharing it. 😊

[@justinuriahphoto]

I appreciate the feedback Ronald! 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@JustInCases72]

Hay just you know and let the fine people at pathfinder school that Blackie Thomas had a stroke. I think he mite be home now but prayers are needed. Also great video keep them coming.

[@coreopolis]

Whew, glad I waited a few more seconds, saw that junk in your hands lol, almost skipped 😂

[@firefly-vc5ew]

Back in the 60s I was assigned and schooled in cold weather survival. Took my training on Mt Hood in the middle of winter. I read of the "return 90% of your body heat back to you" stuff and thought it would be useful if needed. We flew into Point Barrow (flight of 2) Kaman Seasprite H2s. It was cold. I don't recall the temp now. Since we had to wait for transportation we had shutdown the wonderful heating system the aircraft had. We waited and we waited (those with military experience would understand this). Since I was at my limit of the exposure to the icebox the aircraft had become, I thought I would pull out the miracle mylar sheet to warm up a bit. NO. NOTHING. I found out that unless you had an alternate heat source to reflect the heat generated (think fire) the little sheet yielded no relief from the cold AT ALL. What Justin suggests is exactly what I have been preaching and using in my kit.

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

That's a way better option for emergencies. Thanks for the video.

[@justinuriahphoto]

I appreciate the feedback! 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@SusanLocklear-p2m]

Nice blanket Johnson

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thanks, Susan!

[@Ozarkwonderer]

I like this. I dont think I'd use strait like n this demo. But it's a good idea for a freestanding shelter. You could do one side to a tree and the other with the bipod so its versatile. I like it

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it. 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@lJ0blixen]

It doesn’t ake much to hit the 👍 so we can see more uploads. Speaking of, I have learning disabilities and I can’t see nor understand the knots and loops you use, could you possibly make a longer upload demonstrating up close and labelling each knot, loop you speak of please?

[@justinuriahphoto]

Absolutely. I’ll put it on the video schedule. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you’re here! 🤝🏼

[@lJ0blixen]

@ thank you so very much! Happy Halloween

[@coreyhall9461]

I am really trying to learn bushcraft skills and I appreciate this video and all you teach. While watching this, I noticed that there are a lot of leaves around. So I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to gather a pile of the leaves under the shelter and lay your ground mat on top of the leaves? Would that help a lot with insulation?

[@justinuriahphoto]

Thanks, Corey, for asking. Conduction is something everyone will have to battle when it comes to laying directly on the ground. Your clothing choice should reflect the season and should be your first line of defense against the weather. That decision needs to be made before you leave home. If it's cold out I wouldn't sleep on the ground directly. I would wrap myself up in this emergency blanket and find some other source of shelter. Leaves won't offer you much value/insulation on a cold ground. If it's a warm summer's night, I've slept on a thin tarp many times mainly to mitigate moisture from the soil. Always remember that your clothing is key. Some people will carry sheep skins to put down on the ground to help with conduction. Thanks for watching! Glad to have ya in the community.

[@coreyhall9461]

@justinuriahphoto Awesome information. Thank you my brother!

As a city boy, chances for me to use this information is 0.00001% yet i still watched it through..

[@VeteranStacker]

Daily, more of these blankets are used in cities to cover victims of whatever, verses in the woods.

When Mother Nature sees the pathfinder logo on that chicom military casualty blanket? Does she slink away looking for a Cooking show with A corporal Kelly frying pan ( also passing a. mors Kochanski survival shelter?) A 22 yo swedish KZbinr Just died because nobody mentions a weather report, personal Locator Beacon or stewardship of the land that is turning on us in righteous fury.
