Survival Tarp

[IA Woodsman]

At the Hardwoodsman Meet I had the pleasure of teaching a few classes. One of them was the multiple uses of the Survival Tarp the Bushcraft Outfitters is carrying. I was stoked to get this piece of gear about a month ago. I have taken it to the woods several times. I have decided it will be a mandatory item I will carry in my Condor all of the time.

This is the first of 2 videos I am doing on it. It covers how to use it for:
Emergency Bivy Bag
Insulation bed
Dry sack/food bag
Stretcher
Emergency Poncho
It also shows my secondary shelter kit.

I will post pics in the future.

Cool vid.......Was looking at these tarps, and was wondering how waterproof they are as compared to a Mil poncho?

I got a 10x10 multicam and used it when I went camping last. It rained a little bit, but I stayed dry in my hammock.

Great video. I can't wait to see the one with the different shelter options.

I would say better since you don't have to mess with the hood.

Easy way to get a free tarp - move to a hurricane prone area and FEMA will be along eventually and give a big blue tarp for free.
