ESMA Shan survival today we're gonna start the canvas tarp cheap eats bun stay tuned okay so the sun's going down gonna be real brief here basically I'm messing around experimenting with a big piece of canvases to the nine by twelve piece of canvas nothing special about it it doesn't even have tiles you know it's a painted drop cloth so it's just a raw nine by twelve piece of canvas and so what I'm gonna do is tie rocks all around it and basically just see if I can put it up and see if I can get a pretty salty P shape out of it and see if I can create like indoors and it's something that it's just a nine by twelve tarp you don't I mean it's like that's like a normal-size tarp that you carry anyways you know eight by ten nine by twelve right eight by eight depending on the form a rectangle or a square whatever the case is right so basically I learned that sleeping out in the blizzard last year that when the wind blew in which is constantly blue in the snow I was sitting next to my warm fire you know cooking food hanging out and the snow would just hit me and whatever it touched instantly turned to water because I was in a radiated heat zone next to my fire so the snow came blowing in underneath my tarp hit my clothes and all of a sudden my clothes were wet every single time every single place so I found that I was constantly you know having to dry my clothes out next to the fire and all that and it kind of became like an ongoing situation where you know I was never really completely dry you know at all so you know I started brainstorming on different shapes and the Native Americans really prefer the teepee a lot I figured that I think that that would be a good place to start because you know I've messed around with you know Baker tents and things like that and they just really big you know and they're really fabric dents you know they're really heavy and all that this is just a 9 by 12 tarp and I found a way to you know turn it into a teepee without too much effort and I can even have front doors and everything and that's one of the things I've realized that night in the blizzard I wish I had some way to close out the storm you know I wish I had some way to close the doors you know and and close out the storm so I could just ride it out right indoors inside my canvas teepee so we're going to set it up for the first time I really don't know how I'm gonna do it totally yet I haven't done it yet I think I'm gonna run a Ridgeline in between two trees and suspend it I already have all the rocks tied in and everything else good to go I should be all set let's give it a shot the canvas top teepee experiment begins
