Gladiator Build Part 4 Tarp Set up and Magnets

[@tacticalcornbread3506]

I do this with my suburban during hunting season when we go back to camp to cook if it's raining. I use rare earth Magnets to hold the tarp to the suburban top. But I do need some poles like those instead of cutting saplings.

[@FirstLast-ml7yf]

2 inch dollar store magnet hooks stick tenaciously to car roofs. Awesome for awning attachment with a tarp and very adjustable. I use your system as well, maybe with a dollar store shower curtain.

[@RatdogDRB]

Love the Green Elephant poles, I have/use half a dozen of them. I too use a tarp on my rig (Tahoe), 10'x20'. I span the entire roof (sideways) and it hangs out over my rear doors, extends out to the side far enough to use the side of my rig as a wall, a roof, and dropped down to the ground as another wall, open at the front/back. Gives me lots of options for use. I can use a cot, or, mostly I use my McLean Metalworks hammock stand with the optional device which secures it to my rig's tire/wheel with a heavy ratchet strap, then the receiver portion slides into that, so I'm parallel to the side of my rig as I sleep. I keep multiple tarps also, depending upon what I need.

I camped out of the back of my truck a lot ! And very similar to what you’re doing. A 10x10 tarp with a cap on the truck . Blowup mattress in the back or I use to back up to a close tree and them hook my hammock from my truck to the tree ! I eventually got an 8x8 pop up that I used as well . I ran with that set up long time . Out door concerts , camping , you name it .

[@ebony5766]

I'm really enjoying this series Dave!

[@lizm9115]

DITTO!! LUV DAVE!🇺🇲✝️🌻

[@Hangs4Fun]

Same, perfect timing too Dave!

[@justinpitcairn79]

The versatility of a Tarp is second to none! If you would like to take it one step further check out ForceProtector - Adapter Shade Panel. ThermaShield technology with multiple attachment setups. No roof rack needed. Loving the channel and enjoying all the great advice. Currently working through all of your knot videos. Thank you!

[@ventura911]

Made the move from a large awning to a tarp system based on ForceProtector Gear’s ASP and 10’ x 6’ Thermashield blankets. While I’m still experimenting with them, the ASP’s quick set-up off the back of my Jeep is awesome and packs up small. Add the heat reduction ability of these tarps and they’re far superior to a regular awning.

[@shelleywarner656]

FPG is top shelf! Own some pieces and have seen the Adapter Shade set up on their site. Looks much easier than just a tarp!

[@fredg1930]

^this. Been using the ForceProtector Thermashield for years. It has multiple uses for sure. I've used it off the side of my van like the adaptor shade panel they sell now. I've also used it for camping off the motorcycle was a sleeping canopy attached to the motorcycle. There was another time we were riding in 30°weather and 25mph winds. One of the guys in our group ran out of fuel and I stayed with him while someone went to get fuel. It was freezing with no shelter so we wrapped up in the Thermashield and it was toasty warm. Yes, it costs more than a tarp but has many uses, including keeping you warm or reflecting the heat from the blazing sun.

[@TheRealGunGuyTV]

Outstanding! I love the poles and magnets.

[@kjpierson1152]

Having a second watch, thought I'd add as an aside, loving this series. Bought my Jeep a few years ago (not the Gladiator version) for a similar purpose down the road. Had been looking for info like this and finding it piecemail. This has been a godsend. Another suggestion would be seeing that hammock stand (unless you've already posted a review, I may have missed it). I've looked at a few, but I'm rather large, 6'4", so I'm never sure if some will work or not.

[@themightysumo8056]

Brilliant David some great set up buddy really like it and well impressed with it

[@weerobot]

Your ingenuity is always Cool...

[@tiffloonthego5692]

Really like your videos, I'm watching from up here in Northern Ohio.. but I'm from the Southern part.. Jackson/Wellston is a great place to camp and practice bushcraft. Drink a Ski pop for me.. we can't get it up here lol.

[@jdsmith8135]

Magnets are a great idea and the poles look solid. Great setup tips on this one.

[@cscmolts77]

Awesome magnetic idea , thankyou for all you're hard work ,an sharing ,safe travels 🌷

[@kaceesavage]

Those green elephant poles are legit!

[@corbingardner674]

A look at that hammock set your talking about would be pretty neat

[@chucksmith5002]

That`s a good setup even if you don`t have a topper. You can put the Magnets on the tarp and over your Truck Cab so you can leave the window down if you had to stay in toy Cab .

[@benterwellen]

Great Series Dave

[@tobynoe6149]

You have a great setup. Now I don't feel as bad about camping out of my Dodge Ram. I can get back in the woods away from most people. I can take a cast iron Dutch oven and skillet and it cuts down on walking around with a heavy pack. These trucks get us old guys out in the woods. Lol

[@cdevidal]

Dang Dave, you're looking stacked!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

That’s a nice setup in the back of that bed . Very nice

[@jamessotherden5909]

What great idea using magnets. Now I need to hit the hardware store. Thanks.

[@steddyk]

I like it, ease of use is everything for me when putting together systems.

[@choppertcp1045]

Great video! And the shirt was even better ... now I’m gonna have to check and see if there really is a Barrage Coffee Co

[@steveb2915]

Dave you should check out DRIFTA 270 Degree Rapid Wing Awning might give you some ideas

[@thorvaldtorgrimson5651]

Always great stuff Dave.

[@frankarellanes7416]

Love your set up bro saw the ASP From Force Protecter Gear while at the CBP show in El Paso and at Topless in TX.

[@TheUGFUGF]

I sure hope you keep an innovatory of all of the items in your truck for insurance purposes!

[@alexm1462]

Like your setup. Where did you get those magnets ? Thanks.

[@Fightosaurus]

Looking to do something a lot like this, great content.

[@ScottOut-n-About]

The various levels of smoothing it. This be smoovin, with a v!

[@gco40gray82]

Smoothin it baby!!! Awesome.

[@jinxjones5497]

_swish set-up. Seems those slide out drawers give endless possibilities_

[@wilkesy2012]

Great vid, love the new set up 👍🏻 Look forward to seeing you at the Great Outdoors Festival in August, hope you can make it travel permitting 🤞🏻

[@kjpierson1152]

Loving this setup, though you're making me sorta wish I had the fortune to spend on the gladiator instead of my normal 4 door jeep instead :P But I still love mine! Do wish decked had a box for it though!

[@jeffechols5302]

This is an awesome series 👏

[@StoneE4]

I've had a few ice scrapers/snow brushes that used similar extendable, twist-to-tighten pole systems and they worked great for a season or two but eventually gave up the ghost by permanently locking while extended or not locking at all. For $55 a pair I would hope you would get plenty of use out of these poles, but you never know... I'd be really interested in a long-term-use review video on these poles.

[@brotherbreeze8351]

I tie to my roof rack. I carry a small fishing kayak, hence the rack. But I like the idea of magnet use.

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Dave

[@huntermckinney18]

Just in time! I have been looking for different ways to add some shade off the back on my truck. What are some other systems or ideas that you went thru before you landed with this one? Just trying to see if something else may be a better option for me. It would be cool to see that large tarp setup as well!

[@marzcapone9939]

Sort of related....we used a longer rope, stretched between trees. We fed the rope through all the grommets on one end of a tarp. Used a ratchet strap at the other end to keep the rope nice a tight. The tarp can now be moved along the length of the rope, like a shower curtain, the other end can be attached to what ever. If you used a camper top, create some attachment points, or extend some rope over the truck to trees, the other side of the truck, logs, or whatever.

[@johnburgin7478]

I like the poles , especially with the stopper top . Don’t know how many times I’ve had to use an elevation / surveyors rods on tarps . Are the magnets on your site ? Thanks for the info

[@blakebuskens4162]

@John Burgin I don’t know where he got his magnets but they have those types of magnets at Harbor Freight.

[@tacoma_jon]

Love seeing new ideas 🤙🏽

[@seanfarmer6571]

Love the steel truck cap. Did you say that is a "Smart Cap"?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Yes Brother

[@drlangattx3dotnet]

What kind of magnets, please? Thanks.

[@rickpollard1853]

+1

[@dthomas5281]

Nice setup really like these videos.

[@graymanprepper88]

Awesome video brother, I'm doing something similar with an F150. I was wondering where or who makes the trailer hitch hammock stand you use?

[@6sygma]

Dave, love the video. What dip is your preferred dip? It looks like grizzly on the tailgate....?

[@hipgroove68]

Great video. Thank you

[@AnnieGill7]

Where did you get your magnets Dave?! Thanks!!

[@kschuster78]

Are u worried about the magnets leaving a deep scratch in your jeep and causing a rust spot over time? It looks like that jeep sees plenty of wet weather. Just curious.

[@hipgroove68]

I bet you could put a little black tap on one side of magnet for protection

[@craigmooring2091]

If you put it up for shade, I don't get why you did it black side up. In blazing daylight, I would rig it shiny side up to reflect as much sun as possible away rather than black side up which would tend to convert a lot of light to heat.

[@jessesumrall2449]

How well do the magnets work on a real windy day like we get here in NM?

[@-NorthernMan-]

Hey Dave nice trick with the magnets. I love this new Gladiator series! What type of sleeping system to you use with this setup?

[@MadDogSurvival]

Earth magnets 👍🏽👍🏽😎

[@JeffGloverArts]

Great setup! Show me those magnets!

[@jackbauer9077]

Pretty cool!

[@amandamiller94]

im really enjoying this new series mr.canterbury but were did u get that truck cap from

[@ktrigg2]

I think it came from Europe. Check his first video on the Jeep.

[@lorencolt]

Sorry don't want to read through all the comments; Are the tarps in your amazon?

[@fullthrottlequad]

what name are the magnets? i bought some from amazon,that a youtube creator recommended, but my set up just blows off bec the magnets are not strong

[@brucecarter6904]

been doing something like that on the beach for going on 20 years now

[@hectorramirez9353]

How about softtopper

[@oifiismith]

I do the same thing over the bed of my truck.

[@Hipporider]

I would think a strong gust of wind would disconnect the magnets 🤔🇦🇺

[@JCrook1028]

not if it's a rare earth magnet.

[@jimmaple5669]

Good ideas.

[@timberg7377]

Looks good

[@davidvance3527]

What is the stove you showed?

Smoothin' it!

[@JayBirdsDay]

smooth setup

[@hardcorecampinggear]

Love it!

[@indianaoutdoors748]

Pretty cool

[@scooterfpv8864]

👍👍That's good stuff right there now! I was thinking of this sort of setup but didnt research the poles needed for the coming days of summer. I know my spoiler is fiberglass but can work around that with the way of thinking instilled.

[@danyoungs4061]

Dave , those pole would hold your radio antenna…. No need to carry the pvc ….

[@hectorramirez9353]

Camo tarp harbor freight

[@TeamC4Joey]

I see an easy mud pattern. Crack a can. 🎨
