Does anyone have thoughts on the shelter section of the video?

I am a fan of the Coghlan?s Survival Bag and was not happy that Gretchen cut up the bag to make an A-frame shelter. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I think a tube tent would have been better than an open bottom. When someone has a tarp, and no tent, I often see them turn it into a tube tent with one end closed. That is the case in our Boy Scout Troop and on our GCC Survival Class.

I like to put one stake the center of the closed end of the Survival bag and two in the open end. Then I tie the top, of the open end, to a tree or crossed sticks and then to the ground. I also bought some mosquito netting to attach to the open end. I think some clips might work well. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Does anyone here use an A-frame and open bottom for their shelter?

Thanks!
