hey hey this is Perry peacock with wilderness innovation and up here to show me just having a having a blast here this weekend a lot of fun but I I guess I had too much time on my hand but anyway I decide to make a Yukon chair I'm sitting in it here it is reclinable you can adjust it and I made it out of our PSS our personal survival shelter you know you may know it as our poncho it's a poncho that's a hammock and a tarp and also you can chair now there's a lot of things you can do this thing and I just kicking around have a little fun but it's very simple it took me about five or ten minutes to put this together more time to find the piece of wood I needed than anything but but this this thing is great it's a it's very cozy and and I could make it taller if I wanted or whatever this this works good for me

but you you know suits yourself I have to give credit to I don't know who it is one of our YouTube viewers gosh it's been a year year and a half ago I made a comment on some videos and I went and looked at his site I believe he's from Alaska and I happen to look at a couple of his videos and and I saw that he made one of these and he actually sewed up some scratch some fabric to make it out of and I just was tinkering around up here today at the show me and thought well what if I can just make it out of out of our Poncho's that we got a gazillion of them laying around here hey Perry peacock here with wilderness innovation just going to show you today is awe some pictures here of the Yukon cheer that we made with our PSS our poncho and I just wanted to show you some people ask some questions I wanted to show you how you make the frame for that it's pretty simple so I've got it right here I needed just three pieces of wood for the tripod for the upper part and then one more piece that spans the spans the bottom so let me show you how do you make this thing alright so these pieces I'm using here today they're short they're only about five five and a half feet long normally you'd probably want to be seven feet long or something like that maybe eight feet even that just gives you a broader tripod and it's a little higher taking you can have a little more shoulder space if you need it this works fine for me and it's easy to film because I'm right here so what I've got is I found three pieces this one's got a fork on it this one here's got a fork on it as well and then this one's got a nub on it so basically what I've done here is I'm letting the would take as much of the taken I'm letting the would take as much of the stress as I can take very little lashing for me to hold this thing together height so I'm just going to use some willows for cording so I just you just started hold the tip and just pull backwards and that'll just very quickly and easily strip the leaves off here break off the very ends like I say really I mean actually because of the way we're going to tie the the pß onto here technically you probably wouldn't even need any lashing at all if you got a couple fork pieces like this but I'm just going to do it anyhow but but you can just take all I've got a doll I got to do is just to try to keep this stuff you know all kind of together here so I'm just going to go around here with the I wouldn't keep dropping I might be a lot easier okay so I'm going to come up through the fork here let me go around and come down through that one and what I'm gonna do is I'll just pull this thing snug and I just tuck it back down through here and pull that and then we're just

then when I pull back on this I actually wind up just kind of wedging everything in here then I'll throw another nightmare tickets for the just for kicks here so that'll be good enough right there it'll be good enough right there too - yeah hold it you trim off a little bit if I need to when I put my chair on here you'll see technically I don't really need any lashing at all because it'll hold itself but I just wanted to show you that so if you're watching this you're probably familiar with our other videos on how you how you string up the poncho as a hammock and through the sleeves that are on each end of it and so what I've done is I've just strung a the loop of parachute cord down so it's doubled over the loop comes out there and then I'm going to tie off this how to pull the slack out of it and I'm going to drape this over the a frame here and then then I'll just tie that off okay so I've got my ends right here I'm just gonna pull this other there's my there's my loop that I pulled to right there I put this through it just like doing the hammock I'm just pulling all the slack out of there I have done this before where you cut these off and they're all nice and smooth just hang it completely over there but I'm going to be nice to my I'm going to be nice my poncho so I'm going to do is I've got a loop right here put that over there and then I'm just going to come down like this so so that way see I'm being everything's being supported here around this little piece right here so now I just pull the pull the slack out of there

and it doesn't take much I can do a couple of half hitches right here that I'm just going to put right there okay that's all I really need to do to hold that up so now my next step is going to be to do the bottom so let me show you that now my fourth piece of wood here is going to be the one that goes this way just be the end of my seat or the where my knees go kind of right there

so what happens there is that goes up inside the poncho here and you just kind of put it about however high you on it I want to be about Robbie about right in there all right now for my initial last thing where I tied off the poncho to the top here I've got two pieces left so I'm just going to take one of those and actually what I'm going to do is I'm going to go give myself a little leap don't that wind open hear me I'm going to go ahead and just do a taut line slippery taut line here that way I can it can lower it down and raise it up whatever I need to to adjust a little bit okay so now I'm going to do the same thing on the other side and then I'll show you positioning this thing up alright so now I've got my crossbar at the bottom I've got strung up here this is just the one of the tabs that's in the in the PSS already in the bottom got to taut lines one on this side one on that side that regulates the height of this up and down so I can move the whole thing up or down if I want or I can tune it if one sides low one sites high and basically what happens you sit back into here and pillow your buck body weight here just held down my cut this is my kinder so let me go ahead and demonstrate this is my favorite part of all so now I'm back in here I'm cozy this was a very simple to make I didn't take but a few minutes really put together and I could sit here like this for a good long while be totally comfortable watching the the creek right over here then you move a little closer until aligning it to while I sit here the one

but just another use for your PSS their person survival shelter it's a poncho a hammock a tarp and a Yukon chair I love being outdoors and it's nice that I can carry this one DSS with me and I can do so many things with it so it's that much less gear that I've got to carry with me you
