Oklahoma backcountry skills

[fresh_prince]

I've been building shelters in the Oklahoma woods on weekends (lean-tos, tarps & quick debris huts) and nothing beats getting into a dry shelter after a long, hot, windy day.

Nice! A good shelter is very important especially in that Oklahoma heat or wind. You should keep practicing those fundamentals like fire-starting, your essential knots, and what to pack. That foundation is necessary

In Oklahoma, being good in the backwoods just means knowing which Wal-Mart has the best deals on tents and which gas station sells the strongest coffee

My tarp once went rogue in an Oklahoma windstorm, I had to chase that thing down a hill. Let's just say I now know the value of a good knot

I’ve spent weekends practicing shelter building in Oklahoma’s backcountry (lean-tos, tarp setups, even quick debris huts) and nothing beats finishing a hot, windy day and crawling into a dry shelter. Fire, knots, and basic gear also make all the difference

Knowing knots and fire-starting builds real confidence in the wild...forget fancy shelters after a long hike when you've got those skills

Can't beat that feeling, after a long day of napping in the dirt, a dry place to sleep and a fire is like a fancy hotel in the backcountry...just don't forget the bug spray

You can just buy shelters. Why bother building when a bivvy or tarp works great?
