  Kramer is genuinely one of the best YouTubers in this community. He&apos;s done work with other channels, like skill tree, and he definitely brings his a-game every time. Can&apos;t wait to see more content from both Shad and Kramer.

  Bringing Kramer on for something like this was a fantastic choice. He&apos;s done medieval camping stuff in cold snowy weather to figure out what works and what doesn&apos;t. Also the hammock and tarp trap was a clever idea. Just gonna jot that one down, thanks, Kramer.

  Remember that cloaks and staves are also essential hot-weather gear. You&apos;re going to get real friendly with that tiny bit of shade at noon in the desert.

  Seems like Aragorn has it right. Two cloaks: use one to wrap yourself in and the second one to make a tent.

  A nice thing with the cloak tent set up is that it wastes less heat from the fire. Even aside from trapping it in, it reflects some of the heat onto you that would otherwise be lost to the environment <br><br>Also we should bring cloaks back into fashion

  I love the cloak tent. Eastern European armies to this day use a Lavvu system where two solders buddy up and share their ponchos and overlap them to create a full tent. I like the idea of two medieval adventures sharing their cloaks to create a tent maybe it&apos;s only big enough for one to sleep whilst the other stood look out and tending the fire etc.

  I actually use this method when I go camping. The polish military issued a unique type of rain cape to their soldiers in the seventies which could be turned into a tent, and it&apos;s what I use, and yes I have slept through rainstorms without even realizing despite the large opening.
