Appreciate your comment.. So why don't you go out into the woods.. and make a video showing me the way YOU think I should do it. I'm always open to learning :)
awesome video as always. Thanks for the instruction, I am already rethinking my get home bag. I'll probably lose the GI poncho and swap in a contractor garbage bag to cut down on weight. Have a good one, Dave!
Single Prussik is also known as girth hitch. However, I usually use a clove hitch to tie the pebbles in such a situation since it tends to hold better.
Love the Ideas David... Thumbs up on the Prussik knots. I've used them rock climbing many times. Ideal for applications like this. Good Stuff....keep up the great vids!
Lol! I've been carrying this in my pack for years. Mainly for packing out game I took while hunting. I've spent my wet nights in the woods using hand warmers to stay warm cause we got caught in a storm. Never once thought of actually using it for a shelter. ( Wasn't nearly as funny then.)
Simply brilliant!! One of the best ideas i've ever noticed in the outdoor survival. From now on i will be keeping some garbage bags in my car for relative uses.
I think your bags are best used as part of a conical shelter as the bottom need not be completely covered nor the top. Another thought is that a lot of fisherman get pulled into current from not using a belt.
Dave again thanks. I also in the fall pick up some of those bright orange pumpkin bags and put a few in the cars. They are hard to miss in a WI winter if you need to signal. Hug to your dad!
this morning i had this idea too, to you use a garabage bag as a Tarp, because of the cost's---...you helped me and you have this "aura" of a teacher or like a father...Thank you Dave for this video demonstration..Martin!
Good stuff Dave. I've done the garbage bag poncho before and the tube tent. The bags are also very handy if you have to swim across a river for keeping clothes and gear dry as well as for flotation. Dead honest truth though is I use them most often for carting other peoples (and my own) trash out and for gathering firewood.
Don't throw away anything no telling what dave will come up with next that you'll want to try. Good job rachy and tell mom to get cooking up some more vids. thank guys
I've used these for yrs and they definitely work. I spent 4 bucks and some change and had 15 bags that I could use for food, water collection, shelter, even a mat to sit on if the ground was soaked. Tons and tons of uses.
you always do great videos dave, your right more people should go to the woods and try self reliance.

Very astute Motor :)
It is a Lark's head.. which is a single Prussik. Generally a Prussik has 2 or 3 turns.. but they are generally the same "knot"
