Video Transcription

ok so you guys remember this so what we decided because you know like a time we're going to throw just a simple tarp over it a couple of modifications you have to do but we'll see from there we'll start with that first whenever you do set up a tarp make sure you get all the gods out you don't want anything poking your your tarp to destroy it plus we're going to open I'm going to be adding some poles and I'll explain to you why I do that in a moment first make sure this is all nice and anyway keep you guys posted alright so that's where we're at so far tell you it's not easy when you're playing with salvage stuff go to support at the bottom down there bottom there so I can bring my guitar plea but it's a cheap tart from the local hardware store maybe nineteen twenty bucks just roll both sides and you know just secure it there and I was wanting to try and use everything I could remember that old tent that's ripped and so I put that in the back try and make an end of a teepee be able to make just a little cooking fire you know and we want to be inside I was able to manage that it's not pretty now we're at the point where need to make a door and with what's left I won't be able to do anything what I'm planning to do with the door is make a square triangle cut my piece of tarp my ankle high up here at the top put a full at the bottom of the tarp and just roll it down roll it down and it's going to be secured from coming in on both poles here and then I want to roll back up I can hook it here or make another hook I don't know we'll see I'll just show you my miss it's pretty big though I'd say it's about 8 by 10 at least minimum so let me show you the inside so I made myself a dome frame at the end like this and I put the old tent tarp that you see through here on the exterior and i made like a teepee kind of style and oh there's a little hole here because I want you know I made a set a little pit here now obviously you don't want to make huge fires but you know cooking fire and you know with enough Cole's not too many flames you can stay a little warm in here for sure and that's pretty much what looks like and we're not done obviously bottom here I want it to we're not done i want to put a whole bunch more of moss there to make sure no water comes in I put some from the inside as well so no cold air comes in and with ropes here just pulled the tarp this way or the other tarp as tight as I can against the other one and that's what it looks like any way back kind of a teepee smoke type of thing in the back so let's show you the other side and then the other side there's not as much still need to secure the bottom with moss but that's what it looks like odds and ends to be done I've got some rope here to secure tarp one at the top here let's go and write to the other side so

we put your back so for now for this shelter guys that's pretty much it need to come back and where I am at the bottom there is some nice Moss already but what do you want to be secure from conduction let's say you're roughing it and you don't have any you know pads and stuff you need to be at least a minimum of four inches four inches sorry off the ground but when I do sleep here I'm going to be equipped I'm going to be all four inches feel God level it move it and we'll see i may put some to other polls from the inside here keep this site strong but then again it's been open up here give me another problem because the problem with snow of course this is type of plastic it will slide down but that's why I put one here at the bottom the snow comes down here and I want to push hopefully this is going to be stronger we'll see anyway thanks again for your patience with the shelter guys and hopefully we'll get this done before the winter and closer up always love to make that first fire I can't wait for that thanks for watching this is mike from bush wrap parties bye so I didn't want to have to come back and you know keep you guys waiting for another video so concerning the shelter I mean so what we done we saw that we had extra from inside it was folded inside so I cut off my pieces everywhere so I can bring it back you know fold it back and obviously this is square this tarp so I'm going to make a bottom like this another bottom like that and then I'm going to create myself some kind of a flat that's why I put another X here on the top so I can tie this tarp here on there and then i can create my my my my flap so it comes down easily and i think that's going to be good like that for now so that's going to be it and well better than staying outside with nothing i guess and i thought me a second i thought that green would be dark but it's not the sun the sun is shining inside that's pretty cool wow there's some light so that's nice to know that the light passes anyway that's it for that next step which will be another video i'll be cooking something on that you guys take care thanks again for all your support your comments and especially watching my videos alright so we decided to show you the last scene now this is really the last scene of the shelter now this is all of Josie Josie's idea to make this door hmm so the bottom right there and there we just took a piece of wood rolled it inside and put some rocks oh it's you know it won't move from there and Josie had her other tarp that she had there's still some holes in it so we decided to use it for this and that's what she came up with she tied both ends at the top and at the bottom here we had some steaks but the stakes were too big for the holes so we attach it with the carabiner and took the carabiner and put the stake in the carabiner to hold it there that's a cool idea for my wife and there she goes now it's just a now it's just a matter of you know because I'm sure when it's pretty windy that's going to want to flap open but we'll secure it from inside somehow so Josie awesome job for the door alright so the next time we come out here we're going to start that fire so see you in the next video guys thanks for watching
