Solo Overnight Building a Plastic Fort and Raised Bed In The Woods and Baked Bacon Mac and Cheese

[Applause] all right springtime is coming we're looking at high of 50 today not a cloud in the sky and that's outstanding af we're out here in the woods we're going to get her done today's going to be different i got something special in store for you let's get out here in the woods find our secret spot and get her done [Applause] okay i told you guys today was going to be different and it's different because there's a certain shelter i want to go ahead and make out here there's going to be controversial af people will be triggered and lose their minds but we're going to do it okay so a long time ago in a galaxy far far away one of the ogs of bushcraft one of the founders of modern bushcraft morris kohanski came up with this super shelter where it's a basic lean to with plastic draped over it you have a long fire out front and it actually the heat passes through that shelter and moves around bumping up and creating a greenhouse effect it could be 70 to 80 degrees fahrenheit inside there while it's zero outside it was a outstanding idea and it's been copied over and over and over and over again so with that idea that concept i thought why not come out here and create a raised bed and a shelter system four sides four walls at a roof and do that using plastic creating a plastic fort in the woods it could work all right so we have tree a and tree b all right so here's what i'm thinking well before we get started big disclaimer in no way shape or form am i telling you grab a roll of plastic and go to the woods to survive now people are going to say plastic in the woods that's just stupid i'm out of here lols well take your lols and you're out of here this is a legit concept by morris kohanski and to my knowledge it has not been done with four walls and a roof and a bed so i want to take it to the next level and i want to challenge myself and just see if it can be done i think it'd be fun too so here's what i'm thinking we've done tripod raised bed with our 55 gallon drum liners on those poles for our raised bed with tripods i'm thinking utilize tria and tree b create bipods same thing lash it to the tree horizontal here and here for our bed four walls post in the ground lean two roof off the ground door maybe a window long fire out front as always all the gear in my videos can be found in two places one my amazon influencer page and two my self reliance outfitters influencer page and if you're interested in corporals corner merchandise they can be found on teespring all three links are found inside my description box okay so we have our bipod right here at the top we did a standard diagonal lash three wraps and three fraps the bottom here and here we went ahead and did a standard arbor knot and the reason why i chose that is because the ground is not level we have tree a and tree b and one might be higher than the other so i want to be able to eyeball it where my bed is going to be at and if i have to cut one off i could simply just cut that and raise it and then lash it later kind of like you know measure twice cut once so so so okay so this is exactly what i was talking about this side right here next to me is actually about an inch lower so i'm going to go ahead and cut off that arbor knot and simply raise it up and then lash it down and secure my poles i think we're good to go all right so we have a framed out tarp on here and landing on top of my bed does two things for me first off it gives me the edge of my tarp so i know when i roll this bad boy up i can see this piece of wood right here i'm gonna go and take my knife and i'm gonna go ahead and notch both pieces of wood where my bed is gonna go so i know not to wrap my bed past that point also putting the tarp like this shows me exactly where my four posts are going to go they're going to hold the tarp up and also create my walls [Applause] ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha [Applause] so [Applause] [Applause] window so so so [Applause] i'll take it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so so [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] uh [Applause] [Applause] uh so so [Applause] uh [Applause] here we go [Applause] oh my god that's actually comfortable it's probably just as rigid as those six mil trash bags that i use for my raised beds my tripod raised beds this is nice we got the wind blocked we got a window got a door i'm liking this so my concern was that fire normally were one full step away i went ahead and doubled that just to be safe wearing a plastic fort in the woods next to a fire what could go wrong [Applause] [Applause] [Music] let's go ahead and pause one more time if you like what you see here please do me that favor hit that like and subscribe button then read that notification bell once

drop [Music] outstanding but my opinion should have gone with the velveeta shells and cheese because uh they'll be the rocks this is good though even broke out the old bush spot for you guys cook this bad boy up [Applause] oh man that chunk of bacon right there so solo overnight people always tell me number one thing that's a lot of work for an overnighter it is a lot of work for an overnighter so in your case stay two nights three nights four nights stay a month i can't do that i'm a single parent i have my kid to worry about who just turned 15 and i have to be there for him i have a ton of obligations teaching season is here at the pathfinder school so we'll be doing two classes a month for anywhere from three to five days sometimes even more so i'm gonna be running constant and i can't spend 30 days in the bush in a plastic fort in the woods but i'm going to show you how to make one should you choose to be out there for a longer time hope that makes sense and lastly as always to my legions i appreciate every single one of you i can't say it enough without you i'm nothing i wouldn't be out here full time doing this for you guys i really appreciate it um just keep doing what you're doing watch my videos watch them all the way to end find youtube's recommended playlist find my next video play that bad boy play one of my playlists keep me in that feed keep me being seen and heard and i'll keep being out here doing badass stuff for you guys and that's a promise you can take to the bank corporal 2024 [Music] well to be honest it's probably it for tonight um i'm gonna sit here and enjoy my book once upon atari by howard scott warshaw this book's available on amazon influencer page the link is found inside my description box check it out if you enjoy old school nostalgic games like atari i personally own about five or six consoles and about three or four hundred games so if you're into that check this book out show my boy some love [Applause] uh coffee time new twist on an old idea thank you morris kohanski um words of caution though first off like i said the very beginning in no way do i advocate or say come out to the woods the roll of plastic and survive you're not saying that i saw one homeboy do this with a teepee and put a wood burning stove inside of it kind of like a hot tent i thought that's pretty cool i want to see if i can recreate that but do it my way and i did another word of caution my fire usually is one full step meaning 40 inches those are military 40 inches back to chest lean back and strut so for this one i doubled that because this is pretty thin and my fear was floating numbers and everything was good to go so again i'm happy raised bed and a plastic fort in the woods one for the books boom and there you go solo

He’s definitely not UL. That’s a look of happiness, not smugness.

[u/xamthe3rd]

Wait he has a zlite and a tarp with him why is he doing this

[u/Chooseauser]

Permanently cursed my YouTube algorithm with the “bushcraft” tag, thanks

[u/DoctrinalGoatRope]

Man I'm not full on hippie but I try to be a responsible consumer and fuck, this is sooooo wasteful on so many levels. How the fuck can you just uselessly throw away that much plastic? And to recklessly cut down trees for a YouTube video? Man fuck that guy.

Edit: Ima little drunk and I hope thar made sense.

[u/vaguehead]

If he wanted a load of waste plastic and something that falls apart in any wind he could have saved himself all this bushcrafting nonsense and got the $1000 Big Agnes Tiger Wall Carbon instead.

Who stops hiking long enough to build a house and play tea party?

This setup is not going to be invisible to the zombies, and it won't keep them out. Plus with a 40 pound roll of shrinkwrap he's not going to be able to outrun them for very long.

He should focus on walking away quickly, like us.

[u/hikeraz]

Us westerners should invite all of the bush crafters from their eastern strongholds to come and clear the western forests of all of the overgrowth that exists, since the forest service doesn’t have the money. Just NO fires.

[u/outhusiast]

I've seen plenty of jokes about this and I'll be darned the mad lad done did it. To all of our dismay lol
