Thanks Scott! Thats a really great idea. Much appreciated.

Thank you! Absolutely. Little brush and its done

Fantastic!

Thanks Nate! Canvas is amazing stuff for sure. No school like the old school 100%

@@EnduranceRoom Greetings from Russia Jess🖐Nice video👍Check out this, even more options for using a Plash Palatka, the video is in Russian, but everything is clear there without translation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtWkkquftczepJc.html

@@user-ne9rx8xi9y Thank you very much my friend! Appreciate it. All the very best. 🤝

Thanks Will! My wife calls me “Papa Palatka” 😂

@@EnduranceRoom hahaaa! Amazing brother, amazing 🤣🤣

Thank you!

Thank you! It has been a work in progress

Thanks Manfred!

Thanks Bobby! Have a good one

Thanks Paul! It has been a puzzle on my mind for years. Had some other setups, but this is my favorite. Perseverance is the way. Have a good one my friend. 🤝

Thanks John! Appreciate it. Cold wet weather, a closed shelter is the way to go. I like your ideas. 👍

@John Doogan in Russian army, we make a configuration of 12 Plash Palatka

Hi, I have 4 plash palatkas myself. These days I would cycle to an overnight camp and erect a teepee shelter large enough for me, my kit and my old school mountain bike. I find the Plash Palatka to be a strong very well made garment, cloak or shelter sheet. I think a military shelter built out of more than 12 palatkas would require an experienced tent group commander or youth expedition leader.

@@johndoogan3712 Making a tent for 12 people from a plash palatkas To make a tent for 12 people, it is necessary: a central stand with a length of 2 m, four corner stands with a length of 1.7 m, an upper binding (poles) and a shell sewn (connected by ropes to each other) from 12 plash palatkas. If 12 people are allocated to set up a tent, then the senior of the group calculates people by numbers and organizes the work in this sequence: a) The first two numbers (1 and 2) choose a place to install a shelter, clear it and break a 3.5x3.5 m square; then stakes are driven diagonally outside at a distance of 1.7 m from the corners. b) The following four numbers (3-6) sew the shell of twelve plash palatkas with ropes; 7-10 numbers prepare a central rack, a frame of poles and install them in the chosen place; 11, 12 numbers tear off a groove around the tent to drain water. c) The first five numbers (1-5) lift the shell and put it on the frame of poles and the central rack; 6, 7 numbers support the frame; 8, 9 tie the binding poles with wire or rope to the upper ends of the corner racks; 10-12 numbers sew the panels at the corners of the tent and attract the lower edges with the ends of the lacing ropes to the pins. A tent of 12 people is set up in 2 hours. Plash palatka in Russia costs 15 - 20 bucks

Thanks Herb!

Thank you!

Thank you! I may yet. It is cooling off fast here. Once ground freezes, it is rock solid until spring.

Thanks! That would be cool. The ceiling is a little low to suspend a light, but the idea is great and would well on another (more spacious) setup.

Thank you!

Thank you. It is sincerely the best colored canvas I have. Very subtle and easily blends.

Thanks! It is a warm setup. 🤝

Nice! Thats a great idea. The button hole connection does work pretty well. Honestly, I have never had a problem with it. The canvas swells and tightens. The hemp rope is best, as it has same effect, but paracord does do a good job.

Thanks!

Thanks for writing back, Tommy. Comments/notifications have been erratic at best. Definitely a good time to invest in canvas or anything useful. I will give the shelter a run this winter if I can. It’s gotta smooth out a bit with the boys before any overnights. It is getting there. Have a good one my friend. 🤝

@@EnduranceRoom 👍. Boys will be boys .. no responsibility at either end and in a double-barrel format, 4x the Toil and Trouble 😁.

@@jeffreycrawley1216 Thanks! That is interesting indeed. I had not heard that before.

Thanks Willis!

Thank you!

I typically use some kind of ground sheet, like a military space blanket, german elephant skin or another plash. Then a sleeping pad, either a roll out foam pad (the FDF sleeping pad from varusteleka is great and has a built in ground sheet). I also have a Klymit insulated inflatable sleeping pad that is really great. In cold weather, I use both of those pads, with the roll out one first and then a bivvy bag with the inflatable sleeping pad inside and the my sleeping bag. Warm and comfortable. Main benefit of this shelter design is the warmth. Keeps body heat. 👍

@@EnduranceRoom love its low profile design. Thanks a lot for the info!

For an enclosed shelter, probably about that. 7x7 would be perfect for regular poncho/basic shelter options

@@EnduranceRoom Ordered one to see what they, PP’s, are about. Glad CPL Kelly pushed your channel a few times. Good seeing your journey. Enjoy the fresh snow.

I didn’t see it either. Their are ghosts in the machine...

Mine too ..

Hey, I've got 3 of NVA ponchos like this as a hot tent. It cant be any smaller. In the summer maybe. And as an idea for SHTF/combat case that may never come. If you could combine them as a closed bivi with a ground sheet I may even try it (and I never dismantle the tent. The east German aluminium grommets are ridiculous.) The canvas is rather thin and stiches are leaking. It's highly flammable too. It took me one overnighter to find out. Really Big Monkey has a fire resistant tarp. It's either welding blanket or something for firefighters I dont remember. Too bad that it's usually some freaking glass fiber. Maybe it's not. There is a fiber used by F1 drivers. Their clothes can be in fire for minutes without melting, catching fire order cooking their bodies. There was an epic accident last year or so. Dude coming out pf the flames after some time like a boss. It's a must see I'll leave a link of I can find it

Oh yeah. Best F1 vid ever: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb99ndpj2NC8oYk.html
