Nothing like the smell of a pine forest! I love a nice squishy pine needle bed!

[@bobbyfurr8780]

Good Job! Love the Plow Point set up. Thanks

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Great vid. Short, concise. Loaded with info. Thx

[@oldschoolcfi3833]

we used a similar setup, but with an army poncho, staked all four courners down with bungies to any available brush/stakes. The hood was tide up and bungied to a cord over a branch. All you had to do was lift an edge and climb in, and it would almost seal to the ground.

[@A_Meek_lake_Dweller]

Using a bowed sapling sharpened on both ends stuck in the ground under the tarp if you don't have a center tie out to create more room work's well.

[@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078]

If it is hot with little to no breeze, I tie out the 3 ground corners with short bungee cords. It really helps with air flow. Though you will have to adjust them once or twice because they stretch.

I know this is a quick single night shelter. I do not know if you take request but could you show how to guide running water away from a shelter without a for. I use tarps and such often and if needed dug a small trench anyways I've never seen a video incorporating this and think it would be neat. By the way live your videos man. Thank you

How do you stop runoff coming under the tarp?

[@jackvoss5841]

I figure where my sleeping area will be, and use a trowel or entrenching tool to scrape it clean of debris first. Then clear a shallow hip hole for my old body to curl up over. Then put up my tent and rain fly. I may be spoiled? Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@pleiadianfrequencies]

Scrape a shallow trench where the tarp meets the soil. For a plow config, a v-shaped mini trench would work well, if dug slightly on the inside of the tarp edge. Will collect water and direct it down hill away from you. But this is where site selection and knowledge of the weather and prevailing winds are key. Ideally you want to have the slope on the downwind side of the hill, so the different winds blow over the plow tarp and not into its opening. It's surprising how small of a trench is actually needed to divert the runoff water. No more than few inches deep

With that much dead wood in the area, aren't you worried about widowmakers?

[@stevex7157]

i would really like to know where i can get a tarp like that...

[@toddb930]

Are there subtle clues to look for which would indicate what direction the wind is likely to come from?

[@jasonjohnson6344]

Look at the grass in the more open areas. Which way is it laid over? Which side of the trees seem to have a deeper layer of pine needles or leaves? Pick up some fine dirt/dust from the ground and sprinkle it down from between two fingers and see how it is effected by the wind. The dust thing is more secondary imo to the visual clues I mentioned above. Winds can frequently change direction but the USUAL winds will leave clues if you take the time to try to read the signs. ✌️

@@jasonjohnson6344 -- Thank You! That's what I was wondering.
