is out there I know the camera clicks make some noise with the soundtrack I don't know what happened to it I don't know why it does that and I'll get it fixed as soon as I can but for now try and bear with it hey there Survival guys and gals it's Norseman again from survive ology 101.com i know that one of our highest priorities on our list of priorities is shelter no matter where you're at so I'm going to show you a quick shelter that you can set up practically anywhere it's just at home in the mountains as it is in a back lot in the city as it is in a train yard I've even set it up at rest stops using the handlebars from my motorcycle all it really takes is one stable of right object like a tree a lamppost and all it really requires is this little kid I carry it's just a military canteen pouch in the one side I have some band-aids in a headlamp and the other side I have some wire a fire kit and a little pocket knife those aren't really part of the kit they're just there in case I need them the kit really consists of the pouch itself there's a poncho a bungee cords in the bottom and then I got four little aluminum tent pins in the back it sets up quick if you got a need to throw one up real quick before the Sun Goes Down or weather is moving in on you real fast and pack it up real quick and leave or if you're just a lightweight backpacker or traveler it's got all kinds of uses consist of the carry case that for tent pulls back here the little aluminum ones but generally only need two to three of them I just keep a couple extras because they're handy and they don't really weigh much and some sort of a tarp poncho mine happens to be a Norwegian German sheet or Yerevan made by field Dukan but you can use anything you want it'll work for anything that's square or rectangle shaped and a bungee cord may seen this before I don't know I never seen it before I came up with it but I know I was at a friend of Mines house trace Renaldi and I was camping in his backyard and he went in to get us a couple of beers when he came out my shelter was set up and he he thought it was a pretty cool idea and he'd never seen it so I figure if he hadn't seen it some of you guys might not have either so here we go you got your poncho throw a bungee Gorelick and then we'll see how fast it goes up how sturdy it is and then we'll take you back down see what we get

Oh

it's essentially a bungee cord wrapped around the tree hooked into the eyelet or any other fastening method that you have that creates a main beam when you drive in that route one rear post on a short eyelet on the one side I have one pin going down you can also stretch that all the way out to the corner eyelet and get a larger maybe a two person shelter it would reflect the same side as this and then I got that corner stake down on the fly and it creates a very large opening you can step your gear up under there slide in on that side and that back wall will keep any light from your fire from refracting reflecting out of your area you put a small fire right there to get you some hot wets before you crash out let me set this camera back up and I'll slide in there and show you how they get it there you go you can see I'm not a giant of a man but I'm not a small one either there's plenty of room for me if I want to kick my legs around in the middle of the night go on put some gear here and keep it out of the rain there's plenty of cover over my head to keep me out of the rain and keep the weather off me and then lots of room to slide all the way back before you start touching it you can throw down your poncho a poncho liner ISO mat pile up some pine needles leaves whatever you need to create a comfortable floor to sleep on

and then you have a little fire right here you can sit up and make your hot wets and crash out so as you can see it's a pretty spacious pretty efficient little setup it takes no time at all takes about as much time to break it down as it does to set it up probably the most time-consuming part is folding the whole kit back up and putting it back in its bag let me break it down for you real quick and you can see it come apart

here's one my poncho is one called a German sheet or a year VIN sheet from a company called VL Dukan in Norway it has steel reinforced grommets on the corners leather patches if you decide that you don't want to use that method where you have a different type of poncho you don't have to go through the grommets you can put a rock or something in here bind it up put a girth hitch on a piece of 550 cord loop it around and it'll hold just so we got the tarp here on a smaller smaller setups you can go without the string and just hook the bungee cord loops right directly into that eyelet there my eyelets are leather reinforced if you don't have steel grommets or leather reinforced eyelets you might want to consider some sort of a knot through it stake down on the back hold tension on the bungee cord gives you kind of a roof Ridge and then stake down the fly on this corner all I did over here stake down that corner through one of the eyelet holes and then tuck the rest of it in and you can see that right there doesn't quite work as a ground sheet there's not enough fabric left but you can pile up your your debris or whatever you know what I have here but I what I don't know if anybody else does it but it's just a piece of by 50 cord girth hitch through here a decent little length of it stretched out it's got about four knots in it that way no matter what I do or however I decide to hook it up all I got to do is really hook things in to their intentions are pretty much correct and I just leave those on there I don't bother cutting new ones and taking them on and off all the time they're just on every grommet hole

and they don't really get in the way at all just a bit once again bungee cord tenpins poncho and a bag to keep it all in you can see it comes down pretty quick if you got to get out of Dodge um you can get in and out of it real quick with no restrictions there's no noise you can have a small small fire without doing any damage to the poncho and that heat still going to reflect back into your shelter and pretty much all around it's a good it's a good way to go it's pretty much the only thing I setup anymore and this is notice when saying thanks for watching my video I hope I can see you all here again thanks for support me on the websites of Audiology 101.com and remember that survival is a discipline of attitude knowledge skills and actions survival is not mandatory
