Nice vid Mike, you can make a combo debris shelter using leaves as insulation as long as they are dry. 24 inches of uncompressed debris under your shelter will protect you from the ground asorbing your bod heat. You can stuff your clothing with dry leaves and make an insulation layer to protect you from the cold. make a mound of leaves over your bod and you should be confortable until morning.
ok not to be mean or any thing but i was wondering if you had to go take a piss how would you find ur way out of the bag when it's dark like that ? that would be confusing to me ??
@BCRachelReed Well, The full sized pice took 3 men to load into the truck. But it made a 10 X 10 shelter(walls roof & all )& slept anywhere from3-6. The smaller piece weighs about the same as good sleeping bag. Its' not something you'd want to haul around on foot for a long trek. But, I keep a piece in my truck behind the seat( 8X10). If I'm ever stuck out in bad weather, I'm all set. Bubble wrap works just as well but its' not as durable.
That's puttin' your money where your mouth is. I've always wondered how well those blankets worked. I like your style Mike. Thanks for the demonstration.
Holes in the plastic so he doesn't suffocate?

one thing to note. the condensation water is drinkable - providing the plastic isn't too dirty. so in a survival scenario you could harvest that ;)
