Ep 27: Planning Mobility into Your Preparedness: Tarps, Tents, Shelters

The Practical Woodsman

Anybody giving you the idea that you’re going to be able to build a play fort in the woods and just stay there for an extended time in an emergency is ridiculous. Real survival and preparedness inherently involves a mentality of staying mobile, travel on foot, and carrying necessities on your back. In this episode, I talk about the pros and cons of different types of tents, tarps, shelters, and particularly teepee-style, floorless, tarp shelters.
