Basha/Tarp Building

I’m going for the single person option! A lot of the women in Cleveland look like busted pillsbury biscuit cans I wouldn’t want to share a shelter w one 😅

I love all the interesting facts peppered into your videos! Dead fall would of never even occurred to me!

Great stuff from a para legend

In the states we refer dead fall as widow makers!

Another fine and useful video! ATB Sam Adler from USA

Instead of paracord have you considered using "Zing it (1.75mm)" or "Hen Steel"? Lighter, stronger than paracord and does not stretch. Together with Lineloc 3LL make alternative guylines that can be easily tensioned,.or loosened.

Loved the “Jungle Knots”.
Quality tip !

Good basher video. How bout that survival tin video that smaller tin you keep showing. Thanks sir

Another good video, the history and the jungle knots add to the instructionals! Are there any wild plants either edible or medicinal in your area that you use?

Good video, I try where possible use the tent shape and again where poss put a ridge line up, living in Scotland it helps with hanging up stuff and with a couple of drip lines helps shed the rain ! 🙂

Great vid, love the jungle knots, video just on them would be great 👍

I was told that the word BASHA was an acronym..... that stood for British Army Standard Hotel Accommodations 😎
Made sense to me.

When selecting a spot for the setup, we use the four W’s:
Wind
Water
Wildlife
and
Widow-makers

What type of knot are you using for your jungle knots?

Really interesting videos I you were going to be in a location for long, would you build a firepit?

Great video, thanks however I'd like to see more on those jungle Knotts?
ho ki hoina...

We call potential dead falls widowmakers here in the States.

Just need a " place"(s)!
To put & tarp (s)& bungee cords and some lines that'll be strong and thin and then will*" bounce" & hold!*....

Don't always have perfect trees to put it under!*

Most places in world 🌍 are totally devestated lands.
Jingles Jungles are History!*
I know back in the 70s I was almost run over by a caterpillar driver on purpose!*
Craziness!!!*
Never ends!*

Love these type of videos!*🌞🌞🌞🙋👁️👁️💯💕💛💛💛💛🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🎯🌍🌬️🌬️🌬️🌬️

Subscribed!*

It would be so cool for you to go to the jungle and give us some insight in to that one day! Cheers

Hello ,
From bushcraft side i wouldn’t use such place for sleep cause of gathering of cold Air in lower places like that and water flow , but from Army use yes 👍 …. over all Very Nice video like others of yours 🤙🤙🤙

Great video!
Could you do a video to cover what knots/set up of ropes etc you already have set on the basha. Taking me 30 minutes + atm the set up my basha (new to the game) and the knots etc are not holding up to well? Thanks in advance

If I'm going to be staying a while, and I'm camping on sloping ground, I dig a small gutter on the high side especially .
I've been camping in the Mistral in Franc and the Bora in Italy, and a gutter leading water away is a defo !
Great beginners guide.
Keep it up.

In rainy conditions I would avoid spots in a ditch like that where water will ultimately collect. This might have some positive implications from a pure tactical perspective but who wants to fight wet ;-) I use the Basha in an a-frame configuration with a hint of plow point most of the time. I like that one the most as this has three closed sides and provides enough space for me, my gear as well as my little daughter and bushcrafter in the making. I bought the Basha to have a little more space especially for 1,5 adults than I would have under a Dutch poncho shelter (160 x 220cm). When alone the Dutch poncho still is my shelter of choice though 👍

Trying to get a basha atm in green that actually has hand sized loops in the middle so you can actually use it as an emergency stretcher. All of them say you can but don't have the loops 😠
Having actually carried people on a basha that was folded the wrong way, using the loop big enough for only one finger it is not very comfortable!

We set up a poncho hooch in the U.S. Army.

Good morning,
I have 3 questions:
1. How long is the rope attached (jungle knots)
2. Does the shelter system include some kind of ground cover against the moisture?
3. Am I correct to assume that you carry 6 pegs?
Thank you

A camp site should not be at the bottom of a ditch...
