@1971player i thought the same thing

@phrankus2009 Both styles have benefits. My goal was to cut down on bulk and weight so I came up with the sleeve design. Back in those days nylon wasn't as easy to come by here in South-Central Alaska. I don't think I have heard of using two feed sacks but can see how they would work.

I am wonderring if having sleeves really adds any strength or value. ?
If it *was* made from heavy ripstop nylon, there might be more utility in a design that does NOT have the sleves, as other configurations, such as a bivy, a tube-tent or even a hammock might be possible ... Could be stuffed with leaves or pine-needles ... could be used as a cargo sack or drag.
... I suppose you have seen the cots made from two seed sacks.

@zippyzoe The dog's name is Buck. He is half Bouvier des Flandres and half black lab mix. A very excellent dog and companion.

@1971player Yes he also catches me off guard occasionally for a split second or two before realizing oh it's only Buck, my dog.

Ooh that's nice! I carry a nylon tarp, just flat and grommeted, and I think I'm going to have to make an adaptation... thank you, sir.

I love videos that show me something new. I like the idea and the simplicity of it. I always find when I'm out camping I have to do something to keep myself busy, I'm like that. Gathering the the poles and risers would be time well spent. Great video.

@81eagle Thanks. Not only is it a great project but is pretty comfortable as well after it is put together.
