He's getting old now so can't walk on the hills like he used to do but thanks for the comments Daniel.

This is more of a survival shelter but if it kept you dry that's great news.

You took this camping? Thats hilarious. Glad it worked though.

It did the business for sure, I tested it out in a deluge last week.

Nice analogy 😁 👍

Hopefully you will never need to use one Sophie but they are worth taking if you know the weather could become changeable. Thank you once again for your kind words too Sophie

I think some people under estimate the importance of these shelters and yes I have met a few people out n' about - no maps etc.

I don't class my self as a KZfaqr, but I love to share my experiences

Hopefully I won't need to use in an emergency pal. It had been in the bottom of my bag for years, so thought I'd give a proper test.

Hello John and thanks for subscribing. I am into the great outdoors and I'm primarily a cyclist but have walked up and down many hills in the UK and recently got into gold panning and diving for it, Never a dull moment, it just depends on which way the wind is blowing..

That's a good way of explaining what's it's all about pal.

I always go fully prepared Daniel and I hope I never need to use half of what I take out with me

It's a great bit of kit to have in your rucksack Noah

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I crossed over to winter mountaineering 2 years ago and think this would be a good safety mechanism. Thanks for sharing

Sure does Peter

2 Feet Forward Be safe and hope you get the views.. All this snow is cocking my cycling up. I went out on Saturday night at 9:00pm in the blizzard and did 17 miles. Crazy stuff but I need to keep training. You never know what adventure is next.

He's a good lad for sure

It's always worth having in the backpack, just in case.

I think they just give you time to rest and work out what to do next on a walk if the conditions change. Thanks for watching.

He loves the great out doors and having a walk with his dad.

Thanks for the comment. Today was extreme weather for sure to show what the Bothy can do.

I know what you mean

Thanks for watching Francis. No matter what name I use to call the dog he doesn't do anything I tell him to.

They are always well worth carrying in your backpack....

Cheers

Yes if you have a coupe of terriers rather than a big labrador. This is a 4 man survival shelter believe it or not.

I've heard a Three Dog Night. Not the 70's band!

Cheers

Hello JD, I know what you mean and guess that you could rig something up with walking poles maybe , a bit like a teepee but the idea with this is to get shelter quickly and if there were up to 4 of you , your bodies would create the wall of the frame so to speak. The thing with poles or lightweight frames in sudden weather events is the risk of tearing the fabric. Thanks though for the comments.

He loves it up there. The cold does not seem to bother him

Nice one Charlotte, but I guess that you would also be the kind of person who had taken some precautions prior to this and had put several layers on to keep yourself warm just in case. Lets hope you never loose anything out on the hills, especially your storm shelter, Stay safe and enjoy may adventures...

Yes it helps to ventilate , there are 2 of them. They just push out and act like a fabric vent.

I'm not sure but when you mention the circular hole I think you could be meaning the window which is clear plastic. The vents are small tubes that can be cinched with cord but I've never needed to with my version.

Good point but the idea is that you enclose the shelter around you and normally in my rucksack I have an insulated mat to sit on anyway. They are designed to keep the cold air off your body in tough conditions.

I think they have a ledge you sit on and drawstring to close it right up on the underside.

Yes that's correct, it's basically like a big fabric hat that you place over your self.

Hey not a bad guess. I was on the Pennine Way near Blackstone edge.

Click bait my arse, the storm was named Beast from the east and was a severe weather event. I tested the storm shelter out in a storm. Seriously !

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah but when I saw Siberia thought was in Siberia lol

todtiger Yes it was cold in the wind and not too many places to hide from it either

👍

I am not sure

That's too easy

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures touché 😁

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Yes... those who watch the world pass by, and those who greet it face to face with a smile.

This was a rare event where the winds came across from the east with sub zero chill factors blasting the UK.

Cheers Remi

Sure thing BC

If you're going to be out in remote places and need a quick shelter from the elements...........

Hi Cheryl. It's all about testing your equipment and knowing how it will cope in the event of an emergency. It's like an attachment to your first aid kit and we need to practice this every year to keep upto speed with best practice.

Nothing.

That's what I am thinking, some curved tent poles would make this cover almost perfect, like a small bottomless tent.

If you break your ankle in a blizzard do you really want to be setting poles up? It is an emergency survival bag designed for extremely fast deploy and to keep the elements off you for a short period of time till either rescued or can continue journey. It is not a tent. It is a life saver in emergency situations.

Thanks for the info Denis

This is NOT a tent - it is an emergency shelter. You keep it in your pack if you are unexpectedly caught out in this kind of weather. It is not intended as a replacement for a tent.

Cheers
