Hi, new subscriber here. I'm a "normal" tent camper but I like mucking about with tarps. Just for a bit of fun really. I hope you can appreciate that I don't mean that in a patronising or condescending way. Gradually becoming more and more fascinated by the number of different configurations possible with a regular square tarp. It's a mystery to me why DD made this 3 x 2.9? Why not 3 x 3 the same as it's slightly heavier counterpart. I've got both and feel a bit nervous as to whether the ultralight one is really up to the job. Feels very flimsy but maybe that's an illusion with it being so light. I'm going to try this in my local woodland sometime over the next couple of days. I picked up a Lanshan 1 inner a while back and I'm wondering whether that could be used inside this configuration. I picked up the Lanshan because I'm waiting on an MLD Cricket Tarp so be delivered. I think the Lanshan will work perfectly under that. My Alpkit poles extended to 150cm so by setting them at an angle I should be able to create a lot of usable inner space under the Cricket. Thoroughly enjoyed your video and clear instructions. Take care.

Hi . A good taut pitch , being on as level ground as possible and if you're near trees pilling fallen leaves around the bottom does the trick. It really depends on the type of tent and place you're camping I suppose. If its a tarp type tent the measures I suggested have worked for me . If you have a groundsheet under the tarp/tent make sure none of it is sticking out . Also putting your shelter up with wind direction in mind helps . Thank you for watching and take care 👍🏕

I do not understand what the video is about. Is this a tent or a tarp ?

Hi and thanks for watching. It is a tarp . But you can make a tent with it if you so desire. Tarps are incredibly adaptable shelters and this is one shelter you can make with one. Take care 👍🏕

Maybe better with a DD 4x4 tarp

@@mikekempe7555that’s why clear the ground underneath when I pitch it it’s a floor and get a good quality tarp. I’ve been using a 3x3 DD tarp for years multiple times a week now between NC and Florida and I’ve never had a pin hole. Same thing can’t happen to a tent.

Love my DD 3x3 - My favourite setup is the the Sweaty Flapper 👌🏼 kzread.info/dash/bejne/hHl3z9iYiZCqnsY.htmlsi=xh67ckOglFZPyoJe

I don't like bugs. there is just no way to keep them at bay without an actual tent. suck it up and carry a tent, or accept the bugs - two choices.

😂. I've found ways . A jungle sleeping bag for instance. Even with a tent you can get bugs unless you're just sitting in there with the doors closed constantly . Thanks for your comment though . Each to their own . Take care 👍🏕

The bear will just trample that tent and you cannot get out !

I purchased the DD Super Light and was very disappointed with it. Very cheaply made, right out of the bag first time use two stake loops pulled off. When completely set up the large side door is completely inoperable. Cheap made crap in my opinion.

Mate I had a problem with the first one I got. Set it up in windy conditions and central tie out loop started to pull out of the thing 😡. But I got a replacement one and so far seems to be doing the trick 🤞. Although I must admit I still have my reservations about it but so far so good. Sorry to hear of your experience with it . You can still make the tent with a more robust tarp . Anyway take care 👍

Unfortunately due to fixed camera I have no idea of what or how you are erecting this shelter. Bye bye
