Simple but cool idea: http://www.lostateminor.com/2014/01/04/clever-outdoor-advertising-raincity-housing/ yea so I don't know how to post the article instead of the link, maybe someone can help

Tents can provide excellent protection from the elements, but they can also be expensive/broken/stolen/somehow not available when you find yourself in need of one. As most probably already know, debris shelters can provide an effective and perhaps more importantly; free, alternative to the...

Hey folks, I came across this guide and thought it was a really cool idea. http://www.alpharubicon.com/prepinfo/ponchotent.htm I got fed up of lugging my normal tent around. More often than not we find people are willing to have us stay in their house or squat or whatever or the weather is...

Which of these have you used and how effective was it against the weather?

If you're prior service you're probably familiar with these. They contain multiple bags and when used together (along with a wool hat and some good socks) are rated -30 degrees F. You can also split them apart to use in warmer weather. The outer shell is woodland camo gore-tex which is great for...

i know now that the more the tent holds the more its gunna weigh . Now, size and all around circumference really play a key part in tent hunting excluding the capacity. I am trying to find a nice compact tent between 1-5 pounds preferably. That may fit nicely in my pack and not weigh my down...

Hello all, when I hit the roads of Australia I need a decent shelter, here down under we have tents or swags, we don't have tarp tents or anything like that, I will need something light for my pack but I want something that will have space for my pack and items that's why I was thinking a small...

One alternative to a tent, hammock, bridge, trap, or building is a called a bevy sac. I haven't met a lot of people out side of the military or survivalist type that seem to be aware of what a bevy sac is, and I am the only person I know who has one. I think they are a great option for any one...

A few photos of some cool spots along the way I've been able to hang. Others please share.

that's what I recently started using for a tent. I can wrap the tent stakes with the string, fold up the tarp and fasten to pack, and carry walking stick. The walking stick makes a great prop for hitchhiking. When I'm incognito (camping in an orchard), I can set up the tarp wide and short (hot...

Hey guys, was just browsing the web and came across this news article about an underground shelter in Kansas City. I just didn't understand where, when & how any crimes were being committed...

Anyone here ever used a Hennessy Hammock? What are your opinions on them?

Been wanting to make one for awhile. Has anyone else/any tips or ideas?

Hey everyone, this is my first time on this forum, I'd appreciate any advice. I've been traveling around Asia on a motorbike for 6 months now. I haven't payed to sleep once yet, just been squatting old buildings, Couch Surfing, roughing it and camping.. until now. I lost my tent. It fell off...

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent not too expensive brand of tents? I been looking for a one person tent that's not over 5 lbs, durable 3 or 4 season, big enough to accommodate my pack and in an inconspicuous colour, nothing neon yellow or whatever. I was thinking about going with a...

my brotha sent me some camping gear the other day and one of the things he sent was a vista tent footprint which i guess is a groundcloth for a pretty big tent. but their wasnt the tent part. so i think he meant for me to use it as a shelter. like a tarp except its a more lightweight material. i...

I am trying to find a link to a hamock shelter. I thought I saw it on hear but now I can't find the link. So it might have been on another sight. But anyway. It's kinda hard to explain. It was a hammock like contraption. Looked sorta like a 3 armed starfish.(mabe only 2 arms. Can't remember.) Or...
