Good video man. What kind of poncho is that?
Hey Russel, we love your work all the way from Oz
Cheers
i have those items …i try that in my maxpedition falcon 2 system
@godstoneful looks like the one you buy at walgreens in the square net bag …look were thier sell umbrellas at walgreens
hey what kind of ponchow are u using
???
this is fine in a pinch.
Any wind, cold weather, driving rain or even little rain on ground with poor drainage (splash splash) and this becomes a wet setup.
This will keep you out of the sun, block some wind in one direction, mild rains and give you some added moral in an emergency situation.
So… it works for what it works with!! Good show and thanks for sharing!
I could see this working even better with a buddy system. Pitch both ponchos as shown but mirror it to become an A frame, and use the other 2 hiking poles to tie out the sides. Great vid!
what if the rain goes the other way…
would that set up really keep you dry? I have a hard time believing that.
Great set-up. I would like to see how you incorporate the netting with your tarp.
You can’t be serious.
nice vid
The backyard is where we want to try our gear and test ourselves in preparing to venture into the wilderness. It is also a great place to introduce youngsters and those unfamiliar with outdoors camping. Roughing it prepares us for survival situations, both mentally and practically, reducing the shock of losing our luxurious comforts of home, while boosting our confidence and self-reliance.
Great job man love watching your videos keep the coming .
Thanks… please tell us how your night went. The audio and video quality of your vide are better then most.
Neighbors: “Is that nut lower our property values again?”
Ive US cowboys used to circle themselves with a horse hair rope to stop snakes getting near them at night, also, Australian aborigines say it works too but they don’t specify that the rope should be made of horse hair, but they use rope for this reason, which means that both these parties have experienced snakes cuddling up to them in the night for warmth, the problem is when you move quickly when you wake up in fright that a snake is near you, then you risk gettin bitten, or if you roll on it
Snakes don’t get out and crawl around when it’s cold – they are sitting still, as they are cold blooded. Snake bites are not a major concern – half of all snake bites don’t result in envenomation and the overwhelming majority are caused by people actually stepping on the snake! They stay away from you – remember, you are a huge monster compared to them.
You will find it on ebay within minutes
Hi Russell! Im Russell! ha!
Keep your vids comming!
I’ll have my flicks up soon, I belive.
Doesn’t it suck knowing your not the only “russellWeekendAdventurer”?
You can get 550 paracord in many colors. I know the make a blaze orange. You might have to search a bit for it.
Is that the 5×8 poncho tarp? I’m looking at getting one for a poncho, obviously, but also a camp tarp just to sit around and cook under on rainy days (i use a tent). Would you say it’s big enough for just a general camp tarp?
This stuff keeps me warm and comfey! Thanks for the great videos!
Whats stopping snakes from cuddling up underneath you on cold nights only for you to startle them in the morning when you get up and get bitten? I’ve heard this is a valid concern for bivvy/tarp camping?
Russell you working on any new videos???
new videos intended ?
i hope so
