Ah yeah a few cars here and there would be okay. I thought a secluded location like that would be grand but then sure 80+ boy racers showed up to go drifting for the night 😄

Love that Irish accent mate 👍🏼

This video is way better explained then how I learned it !

You should know that you can do a similar pitch such that you can more or less fully enclose the front, if the weather is truly bad. The traditional method of pitching a tarp tent does not place the pole inside the tarp, but in front of it, so you have a sharp peak at the front, and two flaps that can be closed. Better still is pitching it with two poles lashed together like scissors, so you don't have the pole in the way of the entrance.

Great Demo Mate 👍

You really won't regret going to tarps they are so versatile. Enjoy. @ronourdoors

The issue I had pegging out all 4 in the back first was that being fully tight, the back of the tent stayed flat to the ground so I lost a bunch of room.

I wonder if you added in a bit of guyline to each tie out point. Maybe 30 cm? That might help you out and give some extra air flow. It's worth a shot 👍

@RamblingOn I watched a few other people do the same configuration but they did the 1 back stakes first, then the 2 front and then the 2 rear sides and it seemed to open up better. I think I'm gonna try that next time.

A top sown view would be helpful.

I wonder if there is a way to make an A-frame shaped tent out of a tarp and two trekking poles.

There are a few ways to do it. I prefer having one end close in, here's a video on how to set it up kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZV6p6SqYr2qabQ.htmlsi=BhvBVhoEpmTTksCD

What's the point? If it rains, you're soaked. If it doesn't, why do you need a flimsy tarp?

I would always use a bivy bag like the alpkit hunka xl. I can fit my sleep mat and quilt inside that. You could put your backpack inside a large packliner or bin bag to keep it dry too

@@RamblingOn thanks for that. How does the combined weight of tarp plus bivi bag compare with the weight of a backpacking tent (flysheet plus an inner tent with sewn-in groundsheet)?

@RamblingOn

@TheTerryMarsh1 oh you would definitely find a tent that would be the same weight. My tarp and bivy combined would weigh approx a kilo. The Durston x mid is a great example at around 900g. I had my Lanshan 1 Pro out the other night, single skin but it handled the wind brilliantly and it only weighs 690g I think

@danieldow3094

Tested out recently in a pretty exposed area, if you drop the pole a bit and run it tighter at the corners you lose your sit out room but the wind rolls right over. On relatively flat ground you can keep out 95% of the wind or so with a fairly sloppy set up at most pole heights. I'm sure that can be nearly complete protection with some practice. Once you get it down it's very solid. Only issue is going too tight on the 2 stake corners can lead to issues where your tent can only pitch to 2ft 😂😅. Found myself having to adjust it a bit to get the right slack for my pole.

@RamblingOn

Жыл бұрын

I can just imagine the frustration of that, it must be driving you nuts. I wonder if you slightly angled the pole forward would that help? The pole is held in under tension so with the angle of the guy line that could work. Otherwise you could wrap the guy line around the top of the pole but on the outside of the tarp which will hold it in place. I hope this helps you out 🤞

First step is pegging across the back corners and tucking... Why? Why not just put a peg through each actual corner loop

@RamblingOn

Жыл бұрын

Pegging either side of the corner provides more support to the structure and is the traditional way to pitch a Tarp Tent. If you wanted to peg out each individual point or experiment with pegging out the corner point as you said then why not. Experimenting with tarps is half the fun
