Upside Down Fire – Thunder and Rainstorm – 4 Days with a Canvas Poncho Shelter in the Wild

#bushcraft #camping #survival #asmr

Rain, rain and some more rain in the north. But I like it more than the heat. Started out with a clear night and slept under the moon though. My Bohussäcken (for hunting and fishing) with chair is my new favorite pack even though its pretty small. It’s waterproof and lightweight. I never realized before how nice it is to have a chair with me. Not just to rest, but when you sit down now and then on a hike you take in the scenic views more. I also noticed I saw more animals this way being more still.

The Lavvu poncho performing perfect as always. I’m just amazed by this fantastic piece of canvas. And I thought I knew everything about this poncho but by mistake I learned something new. The flaps needs to be on the inside when you set it up as a shelter… that is obvious if you look at the armhole design. On the last day however, wearing it as a poncho, I took it on in a rush inside out, in the morning when it began to pour down. Normally it is totally waterproof when you are still. But when moving around in heavy rain eventually there is some moisture leaking on your shoulders (But overall it keeps me much drier than modern rain gear anyway). But with the shoulder flaps out that didn’t happen. Its logic when you think about it I just never gave it a thought.

Nice to be out but sure… I was kinda tired in that last scene lol. For fun: Tell me what my thoughts were in that last sequence!

Thank you very much for watching!
