Love that setup.

If you use cross members the width of the pit and put one on each end and a couple in between (depending on your weight), you can trench the pit to your sump (water always goes to the lowest point) and then lay your poles length wise on the cross members, you insure that you are out of the water. The depth of your trench and sump would depend on expected rainfall and duration of stay. Learned the hard way in a torrential downpour.

Hi Jess . I love that shelter . I would use that shelter.No different than winter snow shelters .My main experiment this year will be a ground mattress out of cat tail . They did use that fluff in the second war . all comfort went to soldiers first Citizens got cat tail and soldiers got wool . awesome trade off wool for our democratic freedom .So to speak .Thank you jess great vid

Great video, just come across your channel in my feed. Subbed stealth camping is the only way here in the UK….which isn't great, there's always a way though !

fantastic audio

Made me think of a covered hasty fighting position. Love it! Just got my plash a couple weeks ago and I’m ready to get out with it.

Perfect Weather

Great video, thanks 👍

Nice one fella, definitely cool to know. Like you say, the rain catch pit would be a great option. Bit more work but if rains due, would be needed 👍. Good film, cheers

Hammer McKim hi 👋

Awesome video! Nice setup. Great shelter. New follower here. Crow✌️

I think they ripped you off bro. There's supposed to be bottom on that tent.

Going Vagrant

A beautiful area, similar to ours in Belarus. The shelter itself is not bad, I myself have used it more than once, there is one minus in this shelter – in the morning there is condensate on the inside and the sleeping bag gets wet from it.

I don't know if I could do that. When I slept in Navy racks, I would have the occasional nightmare of being buried alive in a coffin.

Great video 💪🏻💪🏻💣💣✔✔

What jacket are you wearing there?

Kent Costello

I just found your channel looks awesome.

Tobacco Road Adventures

Interesting setup! Being 6’4” I too struggle fitting in “normal” size spaces. I’d love to see how this would work in a rain storm. Excellent job as always brother!

Would it help if the removed dirt was placed under a side to raise a side of the shelter? Maybe maybe not. Great one today!

The plow point is a great set up for tarp

Mike_Jeff_Steel

Excellent idea! I love plash-palatkas. Such a rugged multipurpose item!

Ian Hobbs

Not really much different than the British Army Poncho and its setup as a shelter which I used a few times and which worked .I like the 3 point pyramid set up for the plow point which gives more room at the front. Of interest is the use of the shallow trench because I know Australian Aboriginals use a similar idea by making a three sided U shaped bank with a flat surface in the middle for a fire to warm the ground ready for sleeping.

good stuff!

Russian standards in field manuals are great for short people but with modern nutrition people are all around physically larger.

Mark Schneiderhan

Another great video!!!!

Unfortunately, the old tarpaulins have a small standard size. Then it can quickly become too tight. For me it's usually enough, but if it rains, i build it up in a diamond shape. So you have more space in the footwell.

I wish you a great weekend. 😎

Instead of carrying and extra pole, why not use the shovel for the opening pole

Journeyman 71

Great set up Jess. Kind of grave-like but it definitely works. Could see soldiers doing this for sure. Getting below ground level is a plus in that scenario.

Very slick. Never seen that before

Good share Jess. 1002 uses for the Palatka and counting. Lol. Thanks

Jess, your experimentation with this shelter inspired a modification to a "sheltered" pit blind for deer hunting. Digging a small hole @ 24 inches in diameter and about 15-16 inches deep enables the ground hunter's profile to be lowered. Normally, the plow point of a shelter blocks the wind; but for a ground blind, face the opening of the Palatka or Poncho into the wind in order to be up wind from approaching game. The overhead shelter will provide some cover while eliminating the silhouette of the hunter. A low shelter/blind of this sort enables the hunter to sit comfortably while minimizing human-shaped profile. If located in the right place, it might produce "Buck Fever!" Happy Hunting! Thanks for another enjoyable presentation. May God bless you & yours! Your old friend in Alabama.

Off topic, but to let you know; I started stuffing my Russian tent hammock into an OR compression sack instead of rolling it up and placing it in the camo bag it comes with. The poles fit in nicely too. Really nice for tearing camp down and deploying, you can essentially put it up without it touching the ground.

Jan van Overdijk

nice video Jess… great idee for the hole !!!

Interesting video, thank you for sharing.
Question, have you ever heard of a Norwegian tent sheet ?
Basically it is a triangular piece of canvas, with button wholes down one side and grommets down the other. Each man in the squad would get one of these to carry.
Upon reaching your patrol base each man would take these out , button them all together to make a circle. Stake down the perimeter and lift the center with a piece of
para cord looped over a tree branch or tent pole. Lifted up about 3 to 4 feet . Each man would crawl inside,
Laying down to create a wagon wheel ……
Thanks again for sharing and take care 👍🏻🇺🇸

Been missing your videos!

Great concept, simple and effective. Thanks for sharing.

Po Bo

As you were digging out your area I was thinking of all the issues you then presented when you were done. Good critique. I think you have great talent in thinking outside the box. Thank you for sharing.

Really enjoy watching your videos, and a plough point is my favourite tarp shelter. Cheers from Australia

Sean Lewis

Great tip about adding a pole bed Jess, I would consider that a standard feature unless time was an issue.

As a sidenote, should you ever need to replace the handle on your shovel, take a look at handles for Log Slicks. The knob on the end is a bit larger, and half round rather than a ball. The inside is contoured in a concave curve that better fits the hand. Plus you can get different lengths. I added 4" to my pack shovel, and that little bit made a difference in how bent over I had to be to dig. For the one I keep in my truck, I added 18" which is enough to reach 1/2 way and a bit under the truck without having to get underneath. Have a look and see what you think, but to me, they are tailor made for entrenching tool handles.

ich mache auch (Bushcraft) bei meinem vorletzten Video da habe ich eine Lehmhütte gebaut dazu gibt es Teil 1. Teil 2 .schau doch mal rein würde mich freuen

Wow 👍

Craig Mooring

I was thinking you could just use some of the excavated earth to make a packed berm around your sleeping pit

Hey Jess, as all land and woodland in the UK is privately owned, stealth camp is the only way to go, if you want to avoid designated camping sites, and enjoy wild camps. This is probably why most British outdoors videos are about the highly popular stealth camping. Anyhow yet another great video brother, keep ‘m coming. Have a good one 💥🤙🏼
