This video is a very detailed comparison between the Polish lavvu surplus shelter and the USGI / USGS canvas pup tent shelter half.  There is a detailed breakdown of the key features both good and bad down below.  There are links to these products and most of the products from the Lavvu  solo overnighter video that i linked to in this video.  All of the leather goods were made by myself and my wife Angel Babi and are available on our website or custom order by request.

#whatknot  #horsetie #highwaymanshitch
in this video I show how to tie two quick hitches, the highwayman's hitch and the horse tie.  both are quick and easy to tie although they have slightly different uses they are both great knots to have in your mental tool kit.  I use them for camp and canoe work but i am sure you will find many more uses for both of them.  Quick to tie and even quicker to release.
