Cold Weather TARP Tent with Door and Floor

[@HammerandPipe]

some of the best no frills videos around. You aint out there as a Bushcraft Iron Chef, or doing some outrageous nonsense like some of these others are. Just keeping it real. Love it.

[@jimmyfields5831]

I have the 15x15 aqua quest defender tarp that I’ve put to extreme tornadic weather with very high winds and it held up. and 10x10 bushcraft Spain oilskin canvas tarp that I recently bought and can’t wait to put through extreme storm testing definitely going to try this configuration of set up keep up the content planning to start going out in the wilderness again as soon as I get off the road from driving big trucks

[@unfi6798]

Another great set-up, so simple & yet very functional. We did make our mod tee-pee. It actually go around the tree itself, using the tree trunk as a pole with the tarp going around it. The top end we use elastic velcro so it almost stops rain & snow from coming through. Not advisable during a monsoon or typhoon. Cheers mate fom Australia.

[@bassinup5184]

Haven’t visited the channel in a while I hope all is well man! Love that tarp! And the set up with the foot print is sweet!

[@SusieLovesJesus]

This is wonderful 😃 I love it! Simple, efficient, easy, versatile... It kinda checks all the boxes 💪🏻 Thanks Jess 🌿 Have a blessed day my brother 🙏🏼

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks Susan! Those are the boxes for sure. Lot of action the other day with that barroon farce. Heard 4 or 5 pairs of fighters heading south, low and fast. Feels like its gonna be a big year.

[@SusieLovesJesus]

@@EnduranceRoom Yeah, it was my sister's boyfriend's cousin back home who shot it down.... FINALLY 😤 After it got all the info it needed as it traveled across the country and over our silos 🤨 🤷🏼‍♀️ It will DEFINITELY be a harsh year from all I'm hearing. The wheat & the tares will be separated. Keep an eagle eye and wash out those ears... It'll be fast. Stay safe brother.

I like the folding under to use as a ground sheet. Total origami build!

Thanks! Thats how I think of it too! I actually mapped it out on paper and folded it up before setting this up with the tarp. 👍

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks very much! 100% A fire should be an option, not a necessity.

[@YsterbergZA]

Very handy setup, Jess. In SA we get these horrendous thunderstorms, and this setup would work well to keep rain out especially directing the back toward the storm (though sometimes the rain falls sideways haha) Thanks for sharing these concepts, I hope to try this with the 6x9 garden tarp I have as a spare. Also appreciated is the mention of knots. Us guys not practicing these on a daily basis can do with that. Take care, my Friend.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks, Klaas! Sideways rain is quite a site. I used to live in Florida and experienced it there. This may work with the 6x9. An excellent setup is the Holden tent. One short pole at the midpoint of one of the long sides and all 4 corners staked down. It maximizes the coverage. Cheers my friend 🤝

[@bentheredonethat9296]

I will try it out this weekend. Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Qwinin]

[@GAUROCH2]

Well, it's always nice to hear somebody say sensible and wise things! I never managed to grasp the concept of a "shelter" that just covers the sky or one side... if there is wind or it turns, bye bye "shelter"! Of course in non-permissive environments you might want a low-profile and a 360 view around for security... There are too many "sofa-coachers survivalists" on the loose, telling people stupid things that might endanger their lives if they do not know what they are doing... Thanks for your sound advice...always learning from you Stay safe, stay well.

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thanks my friend. Appreciate it. Definitely know what you mean with the sofa coaching. I have gotten some comments from these guys that was as if they thought they were giving a doctoral thesis. Always interesting. Have a good one 🤝

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

@Endurance Room huh was that a video sounds familiar but not sure?? Very solid setup indeed!!

[@EnduranceRoom]

@@Canadian_Craftsman Yes, I can’t remember the name, but it is about 3 years old. Pretty sure the tepee is on the cover. I had a US shelter half and froze my butt off, found two old poly tarps in the woods and made the tepee. Disguised it with sticks and brush. Was camped out in a little chunk of woods in the middle of a pretty large urban area. Fire inside the tepee made all the difference, both in terms of warmth and staying out of sight.

@@EnduranceRoom welcome bro great channel

[@edwinklaver]

Cool! I use to do something like this with my DD Hammocks 10x10, except I tied the center tie out directly to the tree, similar to what you are doing here. It created like a half of a plow point with the rest acting like a curtain at the tree. Not as big a roomy as this though.

[@mjw975]

Your channel is an under-appreciated gem. You provide great information and gear. Almost always a bit off the beaten path. Just curious, could you super-shelter this tarp set up by throwing some plastic drop cloth over the open front?

[@EnduranceRoom]

Thank you very much. Appreciate it. For doing a super shelter, I think the first variation would work pretty well using a pole for suspension offset to the side so a fire could be in front. Ideally the plastic drop cloth should cover the whole shelter, except a small gap near the ground with some cloth for fresh air intake. Mylar could be taped to the inside of the tarp for heat reflection. That all being said, Mors’ design works really really well- raised bed, half dome shape structure. If you get a chance, it is definitely worth building one. Cheers

Plow points are pretty basic tents. Problem is most tarps have different sizes and design configurations. Getting a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 tarps are hard to come by, unless you cut down a tarp to those dimensions. You'd think manufacturers would recognize this!

[@EnduranceRoom]

Plow points aren’t tents, they tarp pitches. Those sizes are all standard, unless you are dealing with hardware store poly tarps. Nothing wrong with using them, but that isn’t relevant to the video.
