Haven't seen that watch since school! 30 years ago 🤣. Excellent choice of timepiece

[@carbonator8273]

I've only used my DD 3×3 on short an long trips. I honestly loves it as long as you've got a decent sleeping system you should be fine. I was caught in 2 days of rain with the tarp tent set up and was bone dry. Great video thanks new sub 🤙🏕

[@published1789]

Wish I'd seen this at the time. What a cheerful change from what we were seeing most (at the time).

[@Detman101]

I've tried to use other tarps, I always wind up coming back to the flexibility, space, ease of use and familiarity of my DD-3x3. It just does everything I need. I'll invest in a down sleeping bag in order to have space in my ruck for my DD-3x3.

[@thegroove2000]

My fave tarp config. I also bring the sides in for a narrorer smaller entrance depending on weather conditions.

[@Occupuyourspine]

🤠 When I get mine I will tie the flaps out of the way INSIDE the shelter.

[@Occupuyourspine]

No one can set this up faster, well done mister 🤠

[@woofwoof9647]

​@@Occupuyourspine Why dont you pull the side flaps forward for an igloo front ???? My 4x4 shadow turns up monday NZ im going to bring side flaps forward . The Andorach set up if you pull both sides in more to centre the top beck could be lowered more like a door 👍

[@jaydavee]

I still use those black guylines that came with it for several things. I have bowline loops on the ends. Bowline on one end and the loop & sliding buckle on the other end. The bowline loops work without even having to use toggles along with the tarp webbing loops. I also never have to untie those guyline bowline knots.

[@waynus2021]

great effort , just searching for tarp tents and this was by far the easiest to follow!! I got the 4x4 though so I reckon it`ll take a bit of practice.....and a longer pole?

[@jeddy_bravo]

Good luck🍀

[@Devilsgreedybelly]

The rectangular tarp is perfect for parking my lowered pickup under and sleeping in the bed 🫶🌅👍

[@motorcyclewild5873]

Great challenge. My DD 3x3 is my go to piece of kit. I even take it when I use a tent . Never let me down yet

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I'm sure you know this already but... Tarp down on the ground just larger than your tent footprint, leaf litter on top, tent on top of that. Good insulation and protects tent floor as well as making you a wee mattress effect.

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Or depending on yer bike, run the tarp over/off that as an extra fly for the tent, usual sinking sidestand rules apply ofc :-p

[@johnpayne516]

[@eric-od9pk]

How about the length of walking pole you extended?

[@scabbardjakeman1270]

Most trekking poles extend to 135cm. Some extend to 145cm. The 135cm pole is just sufficient, but the 145cm pole would be better (although they're hard to obtain).

[@junglesairsoftblog6311]

Does setup work with a rectangular tarp like the issue basha? Or only square tarps?

[@kentonlemon4649]

What’s that trap configuration called? I want to learn how to set it up. Thx

[@ddhammocks2418]

Hi Kenton. This is called a tarp tent configuration 😊 Best, Caroline - DD Hammocks

[@kentonlemon4649]

@@ddhammocks2418 thank you

[@zembalu]

You could be much faster, if this is your favourite setup, like mine. By keeping your strings tied, e.g., it weighs nothing more. This setup is ok for three persons. Within the three minutes, you could use your second stick to raise the back side - if there were more than you.

[@benjaminrupp4523]

as a rule of thumb, how long has the stick/pole to be for a 3x3m tarp?

[@ddhammocks2418]

Hi Johannes, thank you for your question! We recommend using our DD Tarp Pole 1.8m with this tarp model. It's adjustable from 0.6m up to 1.8m so can be used in many set-ups and adjusted as needed. I hope this helps! Best, Caroline - DD Hammocks

[@CrownJewelzMusicGroup]

Do a 4x4 tarp version

Can a bivi over just 7 feet length wise fit under that?.

Hi Shaun - This is the DD Hiking Pole, which you can find at the link here: www.ddhammocks.com/product/dd_hiking_pole I hope that this helps! Ewan - DD Hammocks

[@ShaunHenryHastings]

@@ddhammocks2418 thank you very much

[@heydougphotography6112]

Do you get wet and covered in bugs woth this sort of set up?

[@ddhammocks2418]

Thank you for your question. Not necessarily - it does depend on ground and environment conditions. Of course in the case of wet ground we would recommend using a groundsheet of some kind (perhaps integrated into the set-up itself!) and for insect protection, one of our SuperLight Mesh Tents for example would be a good idea. This is a good set-up for insect-free conditions though, and depending on the placement of your tarp you can stay very well sheltered :)

[@RubberTramping]

Is there a mesh inner for this configuration?

[@ddhammocks2418]

Hi! You can use a mesh inner with this, but there isn't one designed specifically for it. However, when doing this the tarp won't fully close around the tent, just to keep this in mind. I hope this helps! Best, Caroline - DD Hammocks

[@RubberTramping]

DD Hammocks please make one 😄

[@TheArendt1]

Running around makes you tired :)

[@darrenboorman4365]

Do you think that setup would work with the DD XL Tarp?

[@ddhammocks2418]

Hi Darren, the set-up works with the Tarp XL, it will just have a longer "tail" if that makes sense. So, if you use one of the 3m sides for the opening then it will work - some people use an additional Hiking Pole in the back half of the shelter to prop up the lengthened roof some more.

[@KR-uv6vp]

If you haven't already on this, search DD XL tarp tent here. It folds back on itself to create a ground sheet too. Really tidy set up, again only a matter of minutes to do 👍 *edit (not my channel btw) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJK2lXd6dpZje6s

I regret getting a rectangular tarp, I thought it’d be better for the hammock.

[@ddhammocks2418]

Hi Tom - the rectangular tarps are a great investment, especially if you want even more protection. This set-up and plenty of others are still attainable, although will be slightly "longer" if that makes sense :)

[@tomgasan]

@@ddhammocks2418 I realised my comment sounded very negative haha! My rectangular tarp from you is ideal for hammocking and in fairness I haven't even attempted this set up so I should give it a go before complaining ;)
