Helpful for awkward tree distances and windy/wet conditions: Get a length of paracord tied to the centre and corner eyelets on your tarp (add brass ones etc using a riveter if you don't have them, choose metal based on your needs). Tie lots of knots along the length of the paracord lines that have a decent bit of chunkiness to them. Add monkey knots at the end of this (I do weighted just for versatility if I see a good branch nearby that's unobstructed by small branches and foliage) Add to each of the corners a bunjee with a hook, you want to be able to wrap these around a tree or post or vehicle point and hook them in on themselves. Longer is safer than shorter because you can always wrap twice or three times around the point. When you've found a suitable mounting point, add a slope to the tarp to stop rain collection, and add suitable height for gear/chairs/chilling out. If you're expecting rain, make the slope extend slightly past a dug run-off ditch to ensure water flows around and not through your zone. When mounting loop the bungees and then the knotted ropes (the loops grip the surface and eachother when you wrap the rope 2-3 times around itself that stops the need for cumbersome knots out in the field). You can add a cord to a centre attachment point in the middle of the tarp if you have one, and if you tie a monkey knot around a weight and keep the rope smooth, you can lob this over a branch or whatever then attach to a nearby tree to make a raised centre (in rain this will collect 4 pockets of rain on the top so be aware not the best for rainy conditions). After about maybe 30-60 minutes of small effort, you can have a ready-to-go tarp solution for most of your outdoor needs. All the best and good luck!

Great vid mate, I’m thinking of getting one to use additionally as an overwrap second skin, what are your thoughts ?
@carpfishingthings-ny9go2 ай бұрын
@@markharris7715 if you can get an overwrap for the Bivvy you have then I would just go with that as the tap is a bit of a pain putting up if there is any wind. But it will give you more coverage.

Would you recommend it? How about the material quality, is it the money worth it? The hide is XL size?
@carpfishingthings-ny9go3 ай бұрын
It’s well made with a nice waterproof material but I wouldn’t recommend it , but it dose all depend on your own usage for it .

I used a tarp in the eighties when most fishing gear was crap. Would have thought that in 2024 the bivvies at a grand plus with the overwraps they might have been fit for purpose. Won't be getting one of them 🤔

It doesn't even look like you have set the dam thing up right. Way to much slack in the Material
