i agree with everyone else...great job. hell of a fight you got in you...

[bassfuryvi]

@SpartanJohns Thanks for your comment...It might be a bit of Celt in me..I like a good challenge...

[Ghostkamo]

Big commitment, well done. It looked very damp there and doing a one armed shelter of that size to get out of the elements is a great challenge. Thanks for taking this one on.

[bassfuryvi]

@Ghostkamo thanks Kamo..I really do value 5-6 hrs sleep..what if a shelter took 1/2hr to make but leaked? What kind of misery/negative mind set could come out of that?So with a sterling effort ,a half decent shelter in 2-3 hrs could get you through to an hour before sun up instead of four hours before the dawn..I think it's time well spent to get through a mentally taxing winters night..

great stuff! yeah, minus an arm adds tremendous difficulty to everyday tasks. I can appreciate you not waiting for a sunny cheery day to do this.

[bassfuryvi]

@usframe I know...the amount of debris shelters I see made on a glorious Autumn morning with shin deep beech leaf litter and fallen trees all around is amazing..that's why I do like the Dual Survival guys who used platforms in a swamp,a vine hammock in a rain forest or simply bunked under a bush..each was the easiest/most appropriate at the time..in this area,as damp as it was, this was my solution..

thanks for your comment bro..

[bassfuryvi]

@angrybuck1 I know ..it was a noisy b%£"%&* wasn't it? ..he seemed to start when the camera turned on..a bit annoying but other than a Muzzy broad point through his leg what can you do?ha ha ha !

[angrybuck1]

[bassfuryvi]

@angrybuck1 thanks for your comment..I do try to bring a slightly over the top feel to my vid..more fun for everyone..and it should have a more memorable effect..

Great challenge it must have been extremely difficult but you did great.

[bassfuryvi]

@EDINBURGSTAR Thanks Joe..it was so wet,,but never give up..keep trying eh?

have a great week!

[Waldhandwerk]

Great, from Cliff Richard to realize how good it is to have 2 arms, ...very bad conditions, but very good shelter. Good work. Have a good time Sepp PS: African proverb, practice with the left hand, as long as you still have the right hand...

[bassfuryvi]

@Waldhandwerk Danke Sepp..I always try to achieve something a little bit bigger or more involved..but that's me, from my load out to my knives..more HumVee than Fiat 500 ! ha ha!

cheers

[steintanz]

... this looks really difficult. Good job nevertheless!

Tim

[bassfuryvi]

@steintanz Thanks Tim..I do think an important part of this shelter was addressing the sodden floor by building a raised platform. a lot more work,,but without it it wouldn't be responsible of me posting a vid that some newbie might replicate and then have a miserable night in caked in mud..so hopefully this will show that a shelter built with wisdom and a planning can protect from the elements enough for a few hours sleep..and then the next day,improve your situation with a clear mind.
