Tarp tent is pretty much eternally cool. I've got some other stuff rocking with standard tarps that I haven't seen elsewhere..... but I'm thinking about starting a 'Tube channel' so I'll keep them to myself for now. But I will say that sewing extra cord loops to the edges of your standard tarp will raise new possibilities 👍

super effective! no ridgeline, stakes, or tie offs! great for almost any weather! AND full integratable into any other design!

Always a groovy deal when ya get off work @ 2 am and get to watch a fresh fun info filled video. The DropForged Fam done it again 👍. I’ll be practicing that big blue set up you n Outdoor Mama done. That’ll be nice for up here in the central Oregon high desert.

The Holden is the configuration I go to 90% of the time. So quick and minimal equipment needed. If rain and wind threaten entry at the front, simply pin the two front corners at the hiking staff at center. Just like battening the hatch. Otherwise I toss at least one side on top of the triangle roof and enjoy the stars. I seldom have to exit my sleeping bag to make the adjustments. Great tips on these other configurations!

Awesome job man. Was actually able to watch it premiere. Thanks for all the info and helping my channel grow. Looking forward to the adventure.

Spectacular video Chris, as always! :-) Thanks for showing the easy setup and amazing configuration of our 12' rain fly. Love it! :-)

That video helped me in how I could use my tarps to set them up for survival in camping outside and keep warm and safe. The tarps I have are rectangular and I have the lightest one in my backpack and the other in my house as a backup if it is needed. I would try to put mine up between two trees and have a sleeping area in between the trees. I have poles to stake the tarp down and keep trash bags in my pack to make ground support so my body is off the ground.

These were all awesome designs, definitely gonna test out most of these once I buy myself a square 12 footer Who needs a big complicated tent when you know how to set up a tarp?

⛺️👏👏👏, genuinely one of the best tarp instruction videos on KZread. 🤠😎👍

Very informative I’ve set like two of these up but the rest are new and some I really want to try like the bivy while in a bivy 😁 I’ll have to save this vid so I can remember what to do next spring 👍🏻.

Really awesome video. I've been trying to set up some budget camping and it opened my eyes to how expensive tents and sleeping bags really are. I have a bivy with winter and summer sleeping bags to save on weight and money but I still wanted something over my head and to protect my gear. This video is super informative and really opened my eyes to the possibilities with a tarp.

How can ANYTHING without a floor provide protection from rain-you do realize that once the rain sheds from the sides it runs all over the ground

pyramid style with 8 by 10 tarp is good but 10 by 12 tarp pyramid is even better

I usually bring a small tent and a big tarp, and build a house out of it. Solid protection from all elements.

I have an Arcadia Mongrel 10x10 tarp and after a full week of searching I've managed to find instructions for the "Floating Tent". Thank you! Can you please tell me how high your ridge line is set? It's 10 PM currently here so I'm going outside tomorrow to make an attempt to put this bad boy up.

Good

How is the version which requires you to hang the center of your tarp to a big branch above using twine called? It only works around trees of the right size but it's easy and offers protection from all sides.

6 min shelter is good

Use stakes and make this guidelines shorter. Nothing worse than having to take a leak at night and your guidelines becoming trip wires. Didn't see the us army poncho hooch. Stake the 4 sides of a poncho down and tie a guideline to the hood tie it off on an overhead branch. Used it for years in the army in all weather conditions. Good video though.

Most of those setups would be even better if you used some lifters to give you more room inside. This makes such a difference.I like to avoid touching the tarp because i don't want to get gear or body parts wet. Not a problem in dry weather but then I probably would not deploy the tarp in the first place. My personal favourite setup is probably the wedge or diamond where you tie one corner up to a tree or something similar and stake out the oposite corner, then the sides too. Again, I then lift some point in the middle of the tarp by either attaching it to another object like a tree or branch or find myself a stick for that purpose. If I may give my opinion on your presentation: I rather liked the video but you might think about the use of the term "bad boy". I know it seems to be kind of a trend but at the same time it is so overdone. I don't see what is so special about a corner of a tarp to call it a bad boy. Ok, rant is over. ;) Thanks for posting.
