Six Point Survival

06/03/2026

Throwback to a shelter I built using a military parachute, a fire reflector, and a branch awning.

The parachute provided the primary weather protection, the reflector wall helped direct heat from the fire back toward the shelter, and the branch awning created additional covered space for gear and camp tasks. Every part of the build served a purpose.

One of the things I love most about shelter building is that it combines problem-solving, creativity, and practical outdoor skills. With a little knowledge and the right materials, you can create a surprisingly comfortable camp in the wilderness.

What would be the first thing you'd add to improve this setup?

At Six Point Survival, we value hard work—but not for the sake of being busy.

We work hard so we can be present.

Present for sunrises.
Present for our families.
Present for adventures.
Present for the moments that remind us what all the effort is for.

In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, buy more, and move faster, we believe there’s value in slowing down long enough to appreciate what we’ve already been given.

Take a moment today to step outside, feel the sun on your face, and enjoy where you are in this season of life.

The wilderness has a way of reminding us that not every moment needs to be rushed. ☀️

What are you grateful for today?

📱🌿 When Was the Last Time You Truly Unplugged? 🌿📱

We spend so much of our lives connected to screens—phones, tablets, computers, TVs—that it’s easy to forget what it feels like to simply be present.

One of the things we love most about spending time outdoors is watching the transformation that happens when people put their devices away. Conversations get deeper. Creativity comes back. Stress levels drop. Curiosity takes over. Kids start exploring, building, imagining, and solving problems instead of scrolling.

Nature has a way of resetting us.

You don’t need a week-long wilderness trip to experience the benefits. Start small:
🌲 Take a walk without your phone.
🔥 Sit around a fire without distractions.
🧭 Learn a new skill with your hands.
👨‍👩‍👧 Spend an afternoon exploring with friends or family.

The world will still be there when you get back online.

How long do you think you could go without looking at a screen? Let us know in the comments! 👇

What’s something you could really use right now?

Big or small — post it in the comments. Maybe someone in this community has it sitting around, can point you in the right direction, or can help in some way. ❤️

Sometimes all it takes is asking.

They say when you plan an outdoor event you have to be prepared to cancel… Not at Six Point we don’t. When I woke up that morning my first thought was “As long is there is no lighting, the show MUST GO ON!”

So we set up tarps, a parachute 🪂 , easy ups and more! Provided towels for dirty feet and just enjoyed our day!

A million thanks to the parents who braved the mess and participated with us! You are the heart ♥️ behind it all! We are immensely grateful for our time with your children!
