Amazing Bushcraft Tent made from Plastic Wrap!

Published -

Hello! My name is Osman and I had a great idea – to make a hammock – tent from 10 rolls of plastic wrap.

At first I choose a place where four trees stand at a convenient distance, knock down dry branches and make a base, winding the wrap until the roll ends. The base must be strong. I check to see if the wrap will break if I run into it. Wow! I was thrown back! Then I wrap the base to make it easier to make a hammock. The longitudinal layer is ready. It is quite strong that I can even safely fall on it. I make a cross layer – this required another roll. The hammock is finished. It is very strong and reliable. But suddenly it started raining, and I decided to make a roof. I make the roof according to the same scheme as the hammock. And to prevent water from getting inside, I make walls. One layer is enough. I close all sides, leaving only an entrance. Here is such an interesting hammock- tent I got! I only spent half the rolls! It’s very simple and fast. For those who like to spend time in the woods, I advise you to try it!

How is creativity important in shelter building when it comes to bushcraft?

Bushcraft is a term used to describe the skills and knowledge of surviving in the wilderness. It includes various techniques such as fire making, shelter building, and navigating through the wilderness. One of the essential elements of bushcraft is having a reliable shelter. And when it comes to shelter building, creativity plays a significant role. Recently, an innovative shelter building technique that has caught the attention of many bushcraft enthusiasts is building a tent from plastic wrap.

Plastic wrap tents are relatively easy to construct, and the materials required are readily available. All that is required is some plastic wrap, cordage and branches or sticks. The plastic wrap used for this purpose is heavyweight, which makes it resilient to high wind speeds and rainfall.

The first step in building the plastic wrap bushcraft tent is to find a suitable location. A location near a water source with abundant foliage is ideal since it provides natural support for the tent. Once the location is identified, the next step is to collect and prepare the required materials.

The branches or sticks for the tent poles should be long enough to make standing poles at each end and a ridgepole running between them. The length of the branches is determined by the size of the tent to be built. Once the poles are gathered, they need to be trimmed to get rid of any protrusions, knots, or broken sections. The branches should then be laid out in the desired formation, with the standing poles at each end and the ridgepole running between them.

Next, the plastic wrap should be unrolled and cut to the desired length. It should be long enough to cover the tent’s length, width and even extend a few inches on either side of the poles. The plastic should then be laid out over the tent frame and secured to the poles using cordage. The plastic should be pulled taut to provide maximum support and eliminate any sagging areas.

The sides of the tent are formed by tucking the excess plastic wrap underneath the tent to create a barrier between the interior and exterior. Loose edges should be secured with cordage or heavy stones. For extra security, additional branches can be added around the perimeter.

The final result is a remarkably sturdy tent that can withstand the harshest weather conditions. An added advantage of this unique shelter is that it can be quickly disassembled and moved. This convenience makes it ideal for individuals who want to explore different areas of the wilderness.

In conclusion, the bushcraft plastic wrap tent is an exciting innovation in the field of shelter building. It is easy to construct, cost-effective, and allows for maximum customization both in size and shape. As such, it is an excellent addition to any bushcraft enthusiast’s toolbox. It is noteworthy that there are several variations of the plastic wrap tent technique, and exploration of these options can yield even more creative shelter-building solutions.
