mylar is FORBIDDEN to be used in storm because of the lightning.

It must be written on that mylar blanket package.

this is an excellent video and explains it in a way thats very easy to get. Also i really like that all you bring with you are a couple of those inexpensive blankets. I always care one in my purse (yes I'm a girl) and will carry two from now on.

I'm also thinking you could make the taller part of the shelter that you don't lay in, into a lean to to sit under while being warmed by a fire.

Thanks guys!

Glad to hear from you. Girls need to know survival techniques too. My daughter is one of the better survivalists I know and she is only 11. As a matter of fact, she shot some of this video footage.

have you considered a large trash bag to? used as a poncho, rain catch or shelter building

[AnnieNM06]

I have and I will. Specifically I plan to get some contractor bags because they're the thickest.

Thanks

A lot of these survival type guys seem to show a lot of respect for the environment .... that's pretty cool.

[Urbanwild1]

I'm wondering how safe it is to use that mylar with a storm coming...

Cool videos guys--am enjoying your tips and adventures. And you helped make up my mind to buy the Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie, too!

You guys are awesome.

Great video. Important skills to know, and you explain them well. I especially like how you have refined your shelter-building technique based upon the local terrain and available materials, i.e. the species of tree and what it does and does not provide. Well done!!

[2brothersadventures]

Thanks for the kind words. We find we can never practice or build our outdoor skills enough. We always manage learn something new each time we go out.

[chrissept21]

you guys should try the ontario kinves sometime

there an rtak 10 i think it is and its proly a bit heavyer then the kabars

just a thought

[2brothersadventures]

I have heard that the Ontario rtak is a great knife. Someday I may be lucky enough to own one, or at least use one.

[icychillgrill3]

@chrissept21 i use the ontario rd 9 and it is a pretty good shelter craft and firecrafting knife.

[shtfprepared]

@chrissept21 Actually its the RTAK II and it only has an Inch more than the Ka bar Heavy Bowie. I own Both. Both are excellent survival knives and both have something the other one doesn't. I love the KRaton handle on the KA BARS compared to the wooden of the RTAK II. I live in QC and we have sub zero temps 8 months a yr and the snow with the heat from the hand will accumulate ice on the wooden handle of the RTAK. They both have GREAT heft and weight. Nice vids. I have started to do some too.
