How to make a strap system for setting up a tent in the rain

Upon massive request, I have put together this quick video on how I made the strap system to allow double wall tents users to set up their tent in the rain. My strap system has been adapted to the MSR Hubba Hubba NX tent but it can work for alot of other tents with similar pole system.
Here are the links on where I managed to get the parts for the strap system:
10mm Slider Adjuster: www.ebay.com.a...
10mm Polyester Webbing: www.ebay.com.a...
If you guys need help with making the corners sections, feel free to email me and we can work something out. You can reach me on [e-mail]
Have fun and stay safe out there!

Love this! Thanks again for showing people how to make this. Genius!

[@ProjectOutbound]

No worries. Great that it helped

[@MrSTAdventures]

Brilliant, you have now helped me make up my mind about buying the MSR Elixr 2. You really should consider making these and selling them. I would buy it. Thanks again :)

[@Justpier3d]

Seeing your concept has given me an idea of a way to achieve this with some paracord and some simple knots. Gonna have to give it a test. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@ProjectOutbound]

Yes. That will work too :)

[@ProjectOutbound]

Gotta love paracords

[@000SunFlower000]

That's actually brilliant =D Thanks!

[@user-qv3kk7xe7e]

I use a 3mil cord. Loop at one "head" spin around other "head" pole.( nemo hornet) Slip knot at end. Fly over poles, light stake out. Set up tent under fly or on the outside. Once cord is attached to the "head," poles I can push on the "toe" pole and once arch is correct loop cord around pole bottom and frame is up.

[@NotASheep100]

Absolutely fantastic idea... would like to see one made of ultra light paracord, for those of us who like to weigh everything for backpacking. Brilliant and ingenious.

[@sotirios8881]

I found you through Dan Becker's video too. Really good idea, well done! I will probably do something similar for my trips.

[@coolwheelz5190]

You should return Dan Becker's e-mails...he is talking about this system in his latest video...that is how I found you. Well done!

[@ProjectOutbound]

Hi Coolwheelz, thanks for your feedback. I have written back to Dan already and we have been in communication :) glad you found the video useful. Have a great time out there :)

[@saunamchan2908]

This is very, very cunning! Great aesthetics too! You've inspired me to make my own to suit my tent. I'll see if I can weather seal some plywood to serve as the brackets for this project. The freestanding tent users of the world can't thank you enough!

[@nikkendall6801]

I'd pay for this. In the UK here and this would sell really well I think

[@ProjectOutbound]

Email me on [e-mail] :)

[@randomdreaming]

This is a brilliant, gave me inspiration and I prototyped up similar using my 3dprinter and some thin cord. Works well! Thanks for posting!

[@kristinamumma274]

@randomdreaming - would you be willing to share the 3dprinter plan file you used? I have the printer but didn't find anything on thingiverse...TIA

[@alannordell260]

Great tip. Made some out of plastic at the welding shop where I work using our CNC punch. Thanks.

[@000SunFlower000]

Hi! How did the plastic hold up? I was considering doing the same bus was wondering if it would be strong enough or if it would break...

[@alannordell260]

@@000SunFlower000 I actually haven't used them yet. They seem strong enough to do the job they're intended to do and I made extras so if one does break I have backups.

[@brenton4752]

I want to thank you for sharing this how to vid. I has watched Dan Becker's vid that mentioned you and your system, Awesome idea.

[@ProjectOutbound]

You are so welcomed Brenton. Stay safe out there :)

[@PiloMegaTron]

Beautifull! Thanks a million! Just saw your other video of putting up the tent in the rain and like many others, left a comment asking about where to get your perfect strap system. Now I know. I'll take soem measurements and get to it. Thanks again! ;)

[@BlueBoyBackpacking]

Nice work on both videos - setting up in rain - and this one of the rope jig setup. I am interested in replicating this jig and have emailed you about it. Thanks man. Love it. Blue Boy

[@penny6658]

Wow - so impressive. Thank you for the video. That would make setting up the tent so much quicker in bad weather. I think MSR missed as trick here.

[@guilbartt3006]

Simply brilliant

[@abbesharrison9039]

Very clever idea👌👌👌👌

[@Mo05sar]

you need to patent this before msr or someone else does ]

[@ProjectOutbound]

Thanks, I tried reaching MSR in Australia but they haven't replied yet...won't it be great if they can just send me some MSR gear for the promo that I have provided for them :)

[@jasonviljoen961]

This is brilliant - thanks guys!

[@ProjectOutbound]

Thanks Jason! Glad it helped.

[@timvandenbrul8388]

Awesome idea. I made the plates using my 3d printer, would recommend.

[@kristinamumma274]

@timvandenbrul8388 would you be willing to share your print file for the corner plate pieces by chance?

[@waynejohnson3713]

Absolutely Brilliant.

[@desidrogenase]

Awesome idea! Thanks!

[@ameliecourchesne6251]

That's pure genius!! Just loved it and suscribe. Great idea really.

[@StevieP1250]

Genius - thanks!

[@NorthwalesBushcrafters]

Great job I’d love the measurements of the corner pieces 👍👍

[@CarlZ993]

Brilliant idea. Thx for the video.

[@dcordry]

Good job!

[@ProjectOutbound]

Thanks :)

[@Millriver1]

amazing thank you for this!

[@killintime5058]

Genius!

[@skydivecm]

By the way this is a great idea. Why not just use some micro line instead of the straps with grommets? Much lighter to carry.

[@sessiondrummer]

I like the sound of this, but what is Micro Line? I can’t seem to find any online. Do you have a link? Thanks!

[@skydivecm]

@@sessiondrummer Small tent guy lines. I set mine up with just some simple knots. Light weight for backpacking. Reflective para cord.

[@stefanankerbl4678]

Do you share the measurements for that bracket? And if you have it as a dxf file even better 😁

[@Roger-ny9xr]

I didn't clearly understand where you obtained the corner pieces, did you buy them or make them on a 3D printer? Thanks for making this video and look forward to seeing your future ones.

[@ProjectOutbound]

Hi Roger, I made them and cut it out myself on my laser cutter. Happy to help you make some if you wish.

[@mokacase5853]

@@ProjectOutbound have you started selling these 4 plates yet? I’m clueless as to how I would make them… laser cut? No way for the average person to know what to do. This is ingenious. Way better than getting the ground sheet wet which is what happens to me.

[@darionteoh]

@@mokacase5853 yes, I came up with the solution as I was also sick of my ground sheet getting wet so I would always rush the setup to beat the rain.

[@thomaskavanagh549]

Great idea..so going one step further ref bulk and weight (?) a piece of string with a loop at each corner would do the same ?

[@guillaumemartens]

That's what I did 😊

[@skydivecm]

You might be able to buy a second ground sheet to match your current tent and cut out the inside? Probably have to find a way to reinforce the edges.

[@billcompton6050]

skydivecm had the same thought about cutting out my tent ground sheet and sewing in some tyvek with wings for vestibules to keep stuff as dry as possible. my tent fly only has clips that attached to either the tent body or tent ground sheet great ideas to solve common problems thx bc

[@ovidiuc]

great idea, mind sharing the stl file for 3d printing?

[@francisgauthier2499]

Great Job, really awesome 😊I'd love to make it for my new hubba hubba tent, what are the dimensions of the pieces in corners? thank you 🙏🏻

[@ProjectOutbound]

the dimensions for the corner pieces for the holes is 8mm oval. We make them to sell if you are interested. email us at [e-mail]

[@christianvetter2906]

Has anyone yet tried to implement a low-tech version of this using paracord? If not, I'll order some next week and try it.

[@3dprintne990]

Any chance you can send me the sizes of your svg file so I can print some for my dad

[@laurahollingsworth5309]

Do you sell these ? Or at least those black pieces that the webbing and poles loop through ?

[@darionteoh]

Email [e-mail] and it will be sorted.

[@moonlightwisdomwellness855]

Question! I am wondering if I bought the MSR hubba hubba myself would I be able to make a custom order for you to create this strap system for me?

[@ProjectOutbound]

Hi there, I can make it for you too or you can get the parts yourself. email me at [e-mail] if you would like to order it it from me. sorry for the delay in reply, I have just returned from a trip.,

[@deanoss]

Can you buy these from yourselves?

[@darionteoh]

Yes. You can. Email me at [e-mail]

[@benjaminjones6622]

Do you have an stl file your the piece you designed?

[@AndreFavron]

you might want to invest in a patent before the big manufacturers see this 🙂

[@salvinkeechj]

Still no joy with the corner pieces please either make them and sell them or make the design dimensions available online.

[@darionteoh]

email me at [e-mail] as we do make and sell them.

[@beastie2488]

@Project Outbound I'm thinking you should sell the strap system and make some cash money.

[@ProjectOutbound]

I am thinking about it considering all the inquires I have had.

[@christopherknox7747]

Any news on selling them? I don't know where to start with getting a laser cutter or someone to do it for me. I have a MSR Elxite 2

How much would you charge to make one for hubba 1 & 2 man tent?

Hey Darren I sent you an email about the design, I wanna buy that so I can make it too. Could you please answer me :)
