Nice to know..thanks

Thanks Brother. Great video!

Great idea I wish I had used this last year with a lady friend when using my small with sloped entry to foot box area yet roomy 1 person 2 wall 3 season tent that took time setting up with poles, guy lines, rain fly (that leaked when it rained lol) when it was getting dark! I like the built in floor because now I’m just using my Lanshan Mier rain fly without the bug netting for more room & 1 pole like yours but no floor with mine means a colder inside for me so I’ll try this in a smaller configuration because I’m just solo use & smaller lighter tarp is better I’ve pitched a poncho & clear plastic shower curtain ($ store $1.25) or painters floor cloth $1 cheap as a front door to see out of & hold in the heat plus really no added weight with a ground cloth but wind comes in around the lower to ground clearance areas with that pitch This will be a nice alternative for sure in what a 7’x7’ or 8’x8’ ? If you have a smaller version I’ll check it out…Thanks!

Great video

Brilliant!!! Was just cursing my old fingers 🤦

I think I would want to tie the flappy bits forwards in order to have a tiny bit more privacy.

Very good thanks ❤

I really like this one. Thanks for sharing the idea!

Nice water collection device

I use an external bipod to free up the interior space. It's not that much more work, however, trekking poles are too short so just have to cut another pole and make both long enough to reach. External tripods and quadripods would do but really aren't necessary. I add a bug net and poncho vestibule. Really good video.

how big is a tarp ?

Great video!!! Uery useful information. Greetings from the US.

Why would you use the groundsheet to collect water and/or dew etc and direct it into your gear inside your shelter? Have you actually slept in this shelter overnight in the rain? I have. Bring your groundsheet back into the tent and close the front portion up, keeping the weather outside.

Just come from a post on Facebook.. I love my tarps I have a 3x3 dd an need to know more set ups

Excellent stuff, especially for a tarp virgin like myself! 😂✌️

Nice job but use a tennis ball cut a hole in it for the pole 😉👍

Love it.

Great set up buddy. Liking that you're using natural resources to construct the tent. Liked and subscribed

Looking forward to trying this one with my 10' oilskin tarp but will probably hitch the front floor section up against the support pole to keep it out of the dew/rain once bedded down for the night. Thanks for sharing

1. That's not actually a rope, it's a line which has been cut from a rope. 2. Below 5/16" , the term cordage shall apply. 3. There's no working part , it's either the RUNNING or standing part. Good demo, thanks very much indeed.

Thank you for the video Obi-wan kenobi.

Shelters are quick and simple to build when you have a tarp with you. So often we see people building shelters,with stones and logs, or digging extravagant under ground hobbit type dwellings, when all they really need is a tarp! I bought a DD tarp many years ago, and use it occasionally for a quick bit of shelter during summer months. It’s been great. I have a 3 season lightweight tent which serves for everything else, what’s all this nonsense we see, with people digging and chopping and building? Have they nothing better to do? Thanks for the vid. B

What size tarp would one need for a 6ft high version of this kind of tarp tent?

saludos bonito trabajo un refugio y con piso es de lo mejor

Those side flappy panels can even be untied at night and bought together to form a rudimentary door on the front for a little more shelter .. that's what I do with my 3 x 3 dd .. works a treat ❤

I can't hear you talking on your video you have to do something about the volume sorry I had to give it a thumbs down

Awesome trick, thank you sir! Subbed

Sad I couldn't hear you well enough so moved on to the next one

I like the pitch, a tent with a floor. Yes, I've "Liked" & "Subscribed" & rang the notification bell. AquaQuest Safari 10'x10' in Woodland Camo is my tarp with a 5,000 Hydrostatic head so I KNOW it will keep me dry. Your DD Tarp has a 3,000 HH & is slightly larger than my tarp. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

what size and type of tarp is that and is it fully waterproof

Neat little tip if you are just fed up with knots and just want to be done for the day.

Superb 🤠

Never thought i´d watch a video of Obi-Wan teaching me to pitch a tarp. I love the internet.

I didn't catch what size tarp this is, is this a 4x4?

Until it rains....

😊thank you for showing that in such a way that I could happily follow along!! I put my hammock up for the first time this week and I stood by the tree for a while trying to remember how to do it😅 so thank you again for your instruction!

Thanks for sharing this tip (works nice)

I wonder if you could make a door with another but smaller tarp.

👍

Nice char bundle there!

Nice one Obi Wan!

Very smart

Is there a good way to combine this with a hammock, for ground use? I need a way to use my hammock in camping grounds where there are no trees.

Hi might I suggest you add a small sheet of clear plastic painter drop cloth to your tent large enough to cover the opening. Placing a fire 3 ft or 1 meter away will convert it from an open tarp tent into a super shelter. Obviously a reflector behind the fire would be preferred to focus as much of the fire's heat onto the shelter as possible. The plastic sheet only need to be taller and wider than your opening. The additional weight would be very minimal. Another addition that could help is using a disposable emergency blanket as a rear wall heat reflector. I should add as a caviot that I use a lavvu but have used this method with it down to Temps from 32-17 degrees Fahrenheit. That the coldest it gets in my area on extremely rare occasions maybe once in a decade or longer. I slept through most of the night only waking twice to feed the fire.

Thank you, that's a perfect shape. Low foot print and floored.

The birds are louder than you. Adjust the audio level or get a wireless mike.

What an awesome piece of woodland! Unfortunately I cannot wild camp in the Netherlands. About to get a hammock....going to test it on a woodland campground in the area! Stoked to get into hammocking!

Huge tarp!! Awesome....love the tarp tent setup. Also for the 3x3. Now I need to get me a tarp lol and practise! Cheers from new subscriber from the Netherlands

Very good skill to learn

I'd bet real money the occupant rolls around in the night and takes out the ridge pole
