Great idea Jess! Something to consider. Where you used the bank line try using a light chain threaded through a flat rubber disk (inner tube) with a little shoo goo to seal it. This is how I suspended Hungarian shelter halves buttoned together to keep rain from wicking in so you don't have a puddle in the middle of the shelter. Another great video!

reading thru the comments it seems the pine cone /acorn trick is completely new to a lot of people. well, this is how it was done before they came up with "this tarp has 19 !!!! attachment points" marketing ;-)

Awesome ... ive got 6 of these, ... 4 of them are toggled together as a tent, i need to take them out and experiment on a few different configurations,
@johndoogan3712 Жыл бұрын
Hi Jess, this has to be one of the best tent configurations from two Plash Palatkas. This one could be a real life saver in severe winter weather in rain, snow or strong wind. It could accommodate two persons with kit, be warmed at night with two candle lanterns and if care is taken to ensure ventilation, hot drinks or soup can be prepared and heated with a small alcohol stove. My suggestion is the use of two A frame external poles to facilitate erecting on open ground. P S, this set up could be used on two Civil War federal shelter halves which may require modifying, worth looking into?.

@John Doogan in Russian army, we make a configuration of 12 Plash Palatka
@johndoogan3712 Жыл бұрын
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

Wow! it never occurred to me to use a chunk of material INSIDE the tarp to bunch up and tie onto from the ridgeline. Planning to get back out with the palatkas soon, and will definitely try this method. You could even tie another small cord onto that wood piece to provide some interior anchor points to hang lights or other items from since there's no ridgeline inside.

Hey to help with the center seem try a overlap fold to help with water just use a stone at the peak. And use one of the ends as a door. I have just used two ,a ridge line with the regular set up and the other with a big overlap A frame as the door . Place my pack and a light jacket at the end as a wind braker . There is some venting but no rain on me.

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.

Bivy camping and Hammock camping definitely have that cocooned element applied, have tried both and they are enjoyable for short duration power naps, during daylight excursions. Night prowl time I tend to prefer a 2-man or larger tent, just to warn night critters that a large baseball bat is behind this canvas or nylon wall. A curious Bruin would really find a pre-rolled human snack a little to convenient. In a tent at least one can kneel and pray. Cheers!

I like this a lot. I'm about to go camping for a night or two and don't have a traditional tourist tent, but I got my plasch palatka. 2 of em. The nights here get fairly cold but nothing too serious because the days are still warm. Still, I was worried about my ponchos cause I never tested them in autumn or winter, only in the summer. Even if it looks weird, it has its benefits. Low to the ground, unassuming, easy setup and most importantly very little ceiling so it warms up easier. I'm curious what do you use to sleep? Do you make a bed of material and then got like a wax mat or something? Wool cover or?
@EnduranceRoom Жыл бұрын
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. 👍

It lacks the ground sheet just like every tarp shelter. I wonder if the Russian bivi has it. I think it does because you actually use these things in the military. It's Russia tho and they dont care much about people.
@trollmcclure1884 Жыл бұрын
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
