Solo Overnight Building a Suspended Shelter and Pivoting Fire In The Woods and Grilled Bacon Ribeye

Ah, another beautiful day in the cape neighborhood, so check this out right now, we have a high of 72 and a low of 65. We have rain clouds and who knows, it could rain tonight, it could rain for a few minutes, you never know in the eastern

woods

, so this is what I'm thinking we need some kind of raised bed. I'm not going to sleep on wet, muddy ground, but it's summer, so we want to try to conserve calories. We haven't made a raised bed in a long time with garbage bags or 55. gallon drum liners, so I'm thinking about giving it a different spin instead of our normal tripod base, so bear with me, we're going out here, We will explore an area and then I will explain my idea to you.

Well, here we are, we are on the edge of a pine forest. Take a look behind me. I see all those straight pieces of wood. I wonder where I get all the wood to build my

shelter

. Hmm, it's hard to tell. Well, this is what I do. I'm thinking we started with a classic bipod arm landed against that tree, now we have two diagonal legs running horizontally towards me, creating a platform for us to slide our 55 gallon or six mil thick drum lighters over those posts, one two of this. finish here tie the cord run diagonally towards that tree now we have a

suspended

or floating platform for our

shelter

here it's going to rain like I said I want my

fire

to take off from the ground some type of elevated or even

suspended

fire

could work well so here we go , we are talking about our bipod normally when I make a bipod I use a diagonal tab that consists of three wraps, three wraps, finish off with a leaf lash, tie a knot and then burn the ends and melt it.

Now, doing that on three points, we're looking at a minimum of 10 to 12 feet of rigging and I'm blowing through the rigging, but we're not hitting the arbor to death, but this is what I'm thinking. I wonder if I could make two gazebos. knots in each corner and I use about three to five feet of rigging and I'm wondering if it would still hold my weight, we'll find out together, okay, so you can get an idea of ​​what we're talking about here, we have two. We place the poles horizontally against the bipods that come this way. I'm going to slide two bags on top of them.

One two. I'm going to make a notch in the end here. Put a separator or space bar. Let's attach the cord to that tree. on our spacer, okay, our final step on this bed would be to level it up and then get tired, okay, here we are, we're at the back of our tree, we've got our bed laying right there and we've got that white. Fabric tape called mule tape. Mule electricians use it to run wires through PVC conduit on job sites. We're going to go ahead and find the middle point there and tie a leaf tie right here that's going to give me two pigtails.

I'm going to run the Pigtails back to where the poles meet my horizontals and I tie a simple antler loop there and we're ready, as always all the gear in my videos can be found in two places, one on my page Amazon influencer and two in myself, Alliance Outfitters influencer. page and if you are interested in couples corner products that can be found on teespring, all three links are within my description box, so there we are suspended from ooh magic, if it starts to rain, all I have to What to do is grab the tarp and turn it over. down, we're ready to go, so I think a suspended shelter deserves a suspended fire.

Well, look at this, we have our suspended or floating shelter and we mentioned that a suspended shelter deserves a suspended or floating fire. Now how are we going to do it? do this, this is what I'm thinking, I was inspired by my stuff kitchen set from Alliance Outfitters, you stick that rod into the ground, we have our swing arm with our rack, it swings like this, we can swing that bad boy in and outside. of that fire and lift it up and down, so I'm thinking, what would happen if we placed both logs against that red pine tree this way we can lift it wherever we want?

Now we can also move it closer or further away from our shelter this way. We can adjust the fire light and also the heat which we've never finished but I know we can do it right so you can see the swing arm is actually pulling down under its own weight so I'm thinking about lifting it back up and closing it suddenly. one of these on the back here, boom, then another one underneath, right there, and my thought is the top starts to tilt, it'll bite into the top, forcing the bottom toward the bottom like this and it bites into it. , we'll find out, so if you like what you see here, do me a favor, hit the like button and subscribe, then hit the notification bell.

This will give you push notifications when my new videos come out and this catches my attention, but it is rumored that you cannot light natural materials, i.e. landscape materials, with the method I have used and shown for the last 18 months. and that method is to take my knife and my dominant hand rotate it forward so that the leading edge of the 90 degree backbone makes contact with my ferro rod. I'm going to pull up as hard as I can on that rod and I'm going to rake it back, the sparks will naturally fall to the ground.

Now there are two other methods: one is to take the knife and push it into the material most of the time, not all, but most of the time this results in the knife hitting the material and making a mess. Everywhere now the latest is the infamous pumping method. Let's go over the material. We're going to scrape our knife back and forth. Okay, so planting my boot next to my fat wood, I'm going to grab my knife. I'm going to go ahead and turn that edge forward and I'm going to put the ferro rod against here and then I'm just going to pull it back.

Rumor has it that we have been waiting for you there all day. It always happens when yelling. time and my steak is going to get soggy,

ribeye

,

bacon

and coffee, that's the best part here, oh metal man, feel that protein flowing into my body, man, I'll catch you in about 15-20 minutes, give or take Oh baby, oh hey, what's it about? So yeah, I'm ready to declare shipwreck operations and catch them all in the morning. No, the shelter here, we'll talk about tomorrow, but I'm very happy with this. Actually, this is a photo someone sent me.

Well, something. so it just showed a garbage bag stretcher bed with a rope tied to the tree and branches and down here, my opinion was not realistic, so I modified that design a little bit and designed this and like I said, we wanted a suspended shelter, like this that now we have a suspended fire. My goal was for this to be self-supporting, but with all that clay in there it's not going to happen. The wood itself is bending. I use pine, but if you use something hard, probably like oak. or something that would maybe work, but I pushed that log under there and the main goal was to get it to spin and that gets a nice healthy charcoal bed in there, if I want to keep the mosquitoes away, I can move it closer if I want. to go back and clean this area or do some kind of task in here, I can pull it out and I'm digging, that opens my mind to bigger and better things, so all I do is walk over here, grab our handle and Now I can push away this fire from my shelter or bring it closer, so I want to say I appreciate everyone who checked out those channels I mentioned last week.

It's always good to give small channels that are good a break and help them give them a YouTube is not going to do it, people are not going to do it and most people on YouTube look at everyone else as competition and don't care. They're not going to give any useful clue that they learned and no one did it for me. and here we are 13 years later and we're still fighting for views so we're getting close although I can almost taste that million and oh man we're like 600,000 and trading right now for subs. I would love to reach that million. just boom, that to me would solidify everything that I've done here, everything that I've tried to bring to light and show everyone that anyone can come here and learn these skills and have fun outdoors, and to me that would just solidify everything okay, boom um, we'll see, although almost that moment, which reminds me go ahead and handle another comment from our critics section.

I never see you using the pillow. I know you're not sleeping well out there if having a pillow means I. I'm sleeping out there we're not going to sleep there so I guess I'm not going to sleep out there what I've done for years is take a jacket or a sweatshirt or a hoodie fold it inside out like that that way all my face grease and oil like inside and then just stick it in the hood and it creates like a little football, now I can hold this drop, that bad boy over there I have my pillow, so there you go, I used to play with those inflatables. inflatables last year and they still had pine needles poking holes in them or an ember from a fire, it was just ridiculous and I think they sell for like $35 to $50 and I'm like, yeah, I'm done. jacket right there boom one and that's it um swagman roll a friend of mine paul hack from adaptive survival check it out on youtube adaptive survival um he actually told me that there is a woodland camo swagman roll so I looked it up and yes, there is a woodland camo Swagman roll it's on the Self-reliance Outfitters website that link is inside my description box check it out I went ahead and ordered one so I'm hoping to get mine soon and I'll show you guys but yeah woodland camo this one is the coyote. tan but we're doing camouflage done deal um regular and that's what we're talking about right there

bacon

smeared popcorn with crumbled bacon dinner movie now bacon popcorn body style and it's starting to rain it's going to be a long night guys hmm I mean we have all this rain, we get into our shelter here and hunker down or call at night oh my god, that's sad, the fire is almost out oh well, so here we are inside our shelter, there's nothing to write home about, but we come on. the ground we are suspended on is a tube style tent, the ends are open and we have our eight charcoal cracker tarp above us, the oilskin tarp, so it is exactly like the raised tripod beds that I made a long time ago or the tripod. bunk beds so it's going to be a long night now that the rain's stopping I don't know, I gave up trying to figure this place out, but it's home so I see you all in the morning, man, greasy at coffee time, foreign, different, not bad, but it's a little different.

Too sweet for my taste, tastes like trioxin 245, doable, okay, let's talk about the shelter real quick, what did we do here? Well, we create a suspended or floating shelter in the forest, it is tied to a tree, we use our bipods. and we replaced our bipod whip with arbor knots and it held, we went ahead and placed our trash bags over our posts and then suspended it from our tree using our mule tape, mule tape or electrician's tape, from there we covered it with our charcoal cookie. 8x8 oilskin canvas using our ridge poles and Y branches.

Now the best part is that we moved into our raised fire shelter. The suspended shelter needs a raised or suspended fire, so we went ahead and created a

pivoting

style raised fire and it worked quite well. I can move that bad boy closer or further away. I would have loved for this thing to stand on its own, but the weight of that clay was actually bending the wood down, back end against the tree, perfect, the poles were bending, so food for I thought next time I would try this and I would use harder wood and there you would go alone

overnight

building

a suspended shelter with a rotating fire in the

woods

and I'm impressed with that.
