I was a nomad in the 80s and raced my nova across the country for food and gas and this was the tarp setup I used when I found a wooded area. Haven't seen anybody do this setup in ages. Thanks for sharing this man. Brought back some good memories.

I'm a big Chevy fan add an El Camino with a Chevelle front end always wanted A nova I had Edelbrock RPM series camel hump heads roller rocker rocker arms Comp Cam MSD ignition, high-rise manifold, flowtech headers, Cactus Radiator Summit Racing gear rims a stall converter on my t 400 automatic transmission an electric fuel pump some other little things here and there lighter weight But Metal quarter panels Hood there was so much fun

I used your instructions to make a tarp tent on a 3 nite hike and it worked flawlessly. The flaps can be carabinered together instead of staked back to keep the cold out too.

Never seen a tarp tent set up with a rectangular tarp. Darned nice!

This guide to be seen of hiw to avoid cost in purchase of expensive thing is a life saving one... Great video.... 👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks so much for doing this video, its excellent. I bought a 4.5 x 3 meter tarp from DD a while ago and have not found a video like this one that does treking sticks for this size tarp. Cheers.

Nice job there! Thank you, I'm always looking for new ways to set up my tarp✌️

I'm shocked how easy it actually is to build this. I was on the fence between buying a 2-person tent or a 4.5x3m tarp. I'm getting the tarp for sure now!

There are so many options with a tarp and this was the best I've seen. You also explained very clearly, what is good for me because I am thick haha. I'm probably going to try this today. 😊

Thats wonderful 👍🏼 I cant believe how simple set up this is yet I couldn't see it 😫 Thanks.

Good video well explained, I could listen to this guy speak all day , to me he has a similar voice to John Lennon when he spoke.

This is one heck of a set up.

Great setup!! I’m trying that as soon as the snow melts!!

Thank you for going into details and showing where to stake it down

Nice 😀! Not gonna lie, this is way better than the Army ground sheet/ hooch shelter method I was taught elsewhere. No need for 2 trees! 😀.

Just put this up in my garden in sunny Chesterfield. Great video. Thanks

Super good video! I feel like I can do this. Headed to buy a tarp!! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome setup.

This is great. I like using my tarp, but did not know how to build a tent in this manner. Your instructions are spot-on. I keep hoping your sub's start adding up. Your video's are as good as other's with thousands of subscriptions. Take it easy. From Colorado, Roger.

You could leave the bottom unpegged , put your pack/boots/etc. in front of the Pole and pull the tarp up over it for more protection in case of rain. Nice set up.

That's awesome! I am, however, concerned with the tip of the trekking pole directly on the tarp floor. Shouldn't there be a folded sock or something to keep the tip from contact and possible tarp damage?

Great setup. Just one question... does the base of the trecking pole not puncture the tarp?

Nice vid.. I'd like to see if this setup could be adjusted in some way could be altered, so the side flaps ( where you came into second tie out)...could be drawn together when wanted to form some kind of door covering...just carabineer clip them. I'm using the DD M Tarp so bit smaller

I would think so buddy there's always a way! 💪😂

I like your design. Would it work to have two thirds of the length on top. One third, and the front inside corners, as ground sheet? Giving more space overall. While not extending out into the rain.

Hello brother, I from Indonesia I like your vidios🔥💯

Nice. One sir

Does your pole have some sort of rubber tip? Mine are sharp and would pierce the ground sheet.

Thanks bro

nice great 👌

Thx for you

which tarp size do you like best?

Would 3x3 still work the same?

how you cover the door when the rains coming brother?

A tennis ball with a slit in it for the end of the centre pole, to avoid breaking the canvas maybe ?

where can i find this canvas

what is the matirial of the tent clothe

Wonder if I can squish one of those and a hammock into a rocket pouch...

Keep it taught

Only modification I'd make is to move the starting points back a bit either to the next holes or use clips to go about halfway, this then pulls back excess ground sheet while creating more space and more material to close it up further. But you may be left with 50% floor, which is almost as good as no floor

If you peg the 2 ground sheet corners to the side middle attachment points and tie some 550 cord to the center attachment point of the floor to the center of the hood, you can hoist the floor up to make a door with a good seal. I have also added a screen in the same attachment points and make a screen door. like this - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hKmZxqyIc9XHdso.html

Cool tarp setup, but no good for Australia, where you want to keep all the venomous snakes and spiders out of your tent. Also no good for the winter where you want to keep the wind from coming through the door and blowing all the warmth off you.. So, in other words, it's only good for summertime in countries with no ground-dwelling insects, reptiles or curious mammals. So, basically just the UK for two weeks of every year, all with a tarp that packs down larger and heavier than a fully enclosed two-person freestanding tent with bathtub floor, zippered doors and No-see-Um mesh...

@charliemcdowell5231

2 жыл бұрын

I'm sure at a certain point winter conditions are harsh enough to warrant a fully enclosed 4 season tent. Winter is the main time when I use my tarps the most, and i've always done less enclosed shelters than this, so this would be massive protection in comparison to an A frame or asymmetrical lean to which are the types I normally use down to 0F (-17C). I wouldn't want to use a tarp in summer here in MO without a bug net, and definitely not in Australia! You guys have all sorts of nasties, tent for sure in those places.

Why not just buy a tent?
