Thanks for the video Matt. You are the one person who got me off the couch and back into the woods. I am 52 and had to go out on disability at 49 because of a severe truck wreck, I was an over the road driver. So thanks for all the support and help that you gave me that you never knew about. Keep making the videos please.

Rolling up in that tarp reminds me of my Basic Training at Fort Dix. We went to the field and a storm was blowing in all day. That night they would not let us join up our Shelter Halves and said just roll up in them. Canvas will let water through of course if you are touching it as we all know. Right at dark when they turned us loose to set up I managed to find a sort of high spot in the line of Pine trees along our supposed to be Perimeter and had some cord in my pack. I tied one end of my Shelter Half about a foot or a little more off the ground. Just enough to let me crawl in and not looking like much of anything pitched. Threw some Pine Needles and Cones over it as best I could and woke up the next morning after a pretty much all night rain bone dry. Everyone else in the Platoon were soaking wet. I noticed I was being eyed by the Drills and stood out like a sore thumb. I handed my weapon to my buddy next to me and walked over to the nearest mud hole and sat down in it. We all got a much needed laugh out of that, but my getting wet and being as miserable as everyone else was coming whether I cooperated or not. LOL. This was back when they were changing over from the 100% Cotton Fatigues to the new Poly Blend stuff which I hated. Before we would go to the Field they would run us through the Quarter Masters and issue us an old set of the salvaged 100% Cotton ones to keep us from tearing up our new issue I guess. Anyway the same morning as we began our PT I ripped the entire ass end out of those old Cotton Fatigues and had to flap in the breeze for the next couple of days. I wasn't about to complain. That would have cost me dearly. Sorry. Memories are all an old dude has.

When one is so close with the earth, not just in a survival situation, but thriving and in a Spiritual sense, recharging from the energy provided by Gaia and exchanging that energy as Matt clearly does, one is definitely going to be perpetually happy, hopeful, and humming with positive vibrations they draw from the Earth. 😊🙏

Matt, I do not normally disagree with "TV Survival" personalities but, a Mylar Space Blanket in your kit has and will continue to save lives because they do work, especially in a Super Shelter configuration. I will always recommend to carry at least one survival space blanket or even the reusable reflective blankets in your kit. .

I "tarped" when I was a poor backpacker. If I still did it it would be a 9' x 12' Dyneema tarp with at least 18 tie-out points. I want some decent VOLUME inside my tarp setup so I can easily set up and still have 360 degree protection from the elements.
