Facts

1. Luke and Tom, creators of the YouTube channel "Outdoor Boys", are building a survival shelter using duct tape.
2. The shelter is designed to be a private swap, meaning it is a shared space for multiple individuals.
3. The process involves twisting duct tape to create cordage, with at least one twist per inch.
4. The duct tape used is from multiple rolls, with the first measurement being 60 feet of cordage, equating to approximately 720 inches or 720 twists.
5. The duct tape is also used to construct the shelter itself, with the roof being the most challenging structure to build.
6. The shelter becomes saggy due to the weight of the tape pulling the walls inward, causing it to bow in the middle.
7. The duct tape is also used to fix any breaks or issues that arise during construction, such as a broken line.
8. The shelter is built to accommodate a 6-foot-4, 250-pound individual.
9. The shelter is made watertight using duct tape, with the roof being the main structural failure point.
10. The shelter is tested during a rainstorm, causing water to leak into the shelter.
11. After two weeks of rain, the shelter remains in good shape despite the heavy rain, with the only significant issue being the saggy roof.
12. The shelter is further improved by adding modifications to the roof to increase its stability and prevent further water leakage.
13. The shelter is finally deemed watertight and ready for camping, with the creators planning to return in two weeks for further improvements and repairs.
14. The creators challenge Zachary Fowler from the YouTube channel "Fowler's Makery and Mischief" to build an awesome duct tape shelter.
15. The creators express their intention to try building something bigger, better, and watertight in the future.
