Looped Rope Shelter Part One

This is a shelter thats handy when there is mud, moisture or water on the ground. The only precautions are that the fallen log must not be rotten or its not a good idea to build in a potential flash flood area even tho you and your gear will all be off the ground.

Nice one. I'm off to see part 2. Also, in case you were wondering, my overnight camp just got postponed a bit. Gonna work on that for this month!

@Gevedon When you do the overnighter, please send it to me. I have so manyt subscriptions that I miss alot. I dont want to miss the camping trip with Gev. Ha ha. Thanks for watching my friend.

can you do this with paracord?

[Reallybigmonkey1]

@thetwerp4u Yes , paracord is plenty strong enough to and weighs alot less than rope. I tried it once and its just a little harder to get into. The rope is so much stiffer. Thanks for watching my friend.

@medicjimr Yes it is alot like an on the spot hammock. Its great for when you finally get to where youre going and its raining or muddy and you say to yourself "I'm not sleeping in that" I know I use rope alot but, it sure is versatile! Thanks for watching Bro.

More or less a simulated hammock looks great .
