TARP SHELTER IN RAIN // 3 setups with added schemes

Here are 3 tarp setups (for 3x3m tarp) that I would use in case of more or less heavy rain. Let me know if you like to use some other setup, I would be glad to try them out!
PS! I am not using a ground sheet on this video BUT OF COURSE I use one when I really am outside sleeping under a tarp.
#1 The 6-point layout I actually used 7 pegs (in the video I said 6) and 2 trekking poles to support from inside. NB! Peg the sides to the ground last, otherwise it will not work so great.
#2 The fully-closed setup you need at least 3 pegs and one trekking pole. The modified setup uses 4 pegs and it is better when your trekking pole length is not enough to fully stretch the tarp sides.
#3 The half open with a floor setup needs at least 5 pegs and one trekking pole.

I found the tent building instructions very informative. AND... You use a tripod for your camera, you edit out long boring pieces of video, you talk to the camera like it's a person, and you use background music! Great job. You're already in the top 5 percent of KZbin producers.

[@AzNephite]

I really liked how you drew the shelter while also setting it up at the same time.

[@user-oc1jn3hj6y]

lol! I was just looking for tent ideas and stumbled onto you. How refreshing, entertaining, and informative! Oh, and here in the US, we call those flexible string thingies "bungee cords" Thank you!

[@dtlongrifles]

The second shelter; the pyramid design is the best for shelter from high wind and rain.

[@brocklawrence6955]

How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? I think you did a very nice job, thank you for sharing.

[@philliploftisjr.9000]

Haters everywhere 😤

[@zoehancock]

I love your presenting style- you make it all seem fun rather than an army exercise which so many Bush craft people do. You have a new subscriber.

[@seankitchen9100]

THANK YOU!!!! Sorry about the all caps but I've watched half a dozen videos showing this tarp set up and they all have awful camera angles and less than helpful directions of 'now peg here' where?! The little diagram showing a floor plan is so useful! Thank you again!

[@robertmoore2783]

Young lady, you just made my day. High fives to you. Keep up the fun stuff and enjoy . Thanks for sharing.

[@owpeterj]

Great you called it a rubbery thing! That way, since english is only a convenience language, most of us know what you are talking about as well as knowing our own languages word for it. This is written in regard to all the worlds viewers whose daily language and doings are not related to english or its sphere of influence, but share common pursuits. That might well be most

[@ronnibuck1504]

You can never have enough flexible string rope thingies on hand. =) Liked the vid, thanks for sharing

[@andrewrutherford2352]

i still come back to this for great set up instructions

[@MaiuLunekund]

Couldn't ask for a better compliment 😌

[@owpeterj]

It's very nice that you made drawings and then the real setup - So it is very informative and clear. Thanks for sharing your approach.

[@timstephenson8752]

It's a bungee cord, the stretchy thingy,lol, you're awesome. 😁

[@videoworks7731]

straight to the point no stuffing around thanks for your post

[@2302jarhead]

What a great combination of beautiful lady, intelligence, and innovative girl!! Thanks for this video, and, since I have tarps, I never imagined them to be used so creatively!

[@MrRoman-lo6ih]

first time in your channel. Your excitement, your positive attitude and your cuteness are contagious. Thank you :)

[@scythempress1]

Rubbery thing is bungee cord dear. Very good videos. Love the dog.

[@michaelbayliss4018]

the graph paper diagrams are super useful. many thanks.

[@SteveB357]

Terrific. When I was a Boy Scout, our troop only used tarps for tents. They are better than many tents. Just add a waterproof ground sheet, and Otto's your uncle, warm and dry.

[@SteveB357]

Also, remember, you can use a tree as a tall pole.

[@SteveB357]

The "rubbery thing"- Bungee cord! Great stuff always have several metres on my pack.

[@happytrailswithnick1837]

Great video, beautiful forest in the bavkgroung. Greetings from Wisconsin (USA). We call those stretchy string things "bungee cords" in the States.

[@chusamusic1409]

pronounced bun-jee

[@wayneclement7201]

Your stretchy rope is a Bungee Cord :)

[@ShawnGuffey]

I got a tarp to put over my hammock as a rain fly but always wondered what else it might be good for. Thank you for creating and sharing this video. Happy trails!

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

Wonderful demonstration! I’m using a part of your demonstration to make a 4 season shelter for fishing in the rain and ice fishing here in Chicago, 🇺🇸 USA. The only difference is, I’ll be using a clear tarp, so I can see the orange floats in the water when they go down I’ll be using a small propane heater to take the chill off ( fishing late October/ November ). Trying to get outdoors and make up for the lost time in 2019. I had a beautiful brown Finnish Spitz 🐕 who used to love going on long walks in the woods, and fishing with me. 🎉Your enthusiasm is contagious and you have a lovely smile. I know why, it’s because it’s so relaxing and energizing to be outdoors and doing what you love with no pressures Keep up the good work! 💯👍🏆 🐕

[@adriansandry2783]

Nice video. I have used tarps for camping since the late 1970s. In many countries and in many different weather conditions. Like you my longest trek with a tarp was one year and so I have a lot of experience with them. My main tip is that using bungees (the rubber cord with hooks) for some or all of the guy lines protects the tarp from even very strong winds and also from noisy flapping. I still use a tarp but these days but usually over a hammock, which gives maximum comfort and weather protection and is warmer in the snow. Happy travels!

[@oldquestant6-238]

Don't know why I haven't subscribed before. I like "Bushcraft" channels, but, only ones with no drama or conceit. Yours are straight forward. If there is a mistake or a modification it's shown and how to correct it. It doesn't hurt that the camera likes you. Keep on keeping on

[@ehSHABUTIE]

You are the sweetest! Watching this video definitely made me smile x

[@michaelterry4619]

I've done a lot of survival camping,carrying only bare essentials.both in winter and summer.I try to keep up on everything I can.keep on and ignore other comments.good video

[@mornfo7870]

Lol love your pose! Bending over for the fans... +1 Nice vid.

[@BonyKilla]

Love the way you sketch out the floor plan as well, very helpful

[@captaincrunch6803]

the woods are beautiful...you would be plethora of out doors knowledge to go hiking with, you have drive and passion for the out doors...I like that...keep it up.

[@theasiamtmgroup]

I've been researching tarp setups and this popped up on my feed. Was very informative, but most importantly, very amusing. The number 2 setup looks like the tarp gave birth to you ...

[@woodswanderer7274]

Thanks for the tarp demo. I find it interesting and useful. I do it slightly different but your way may be better. I also like your dog. Happy hiking!

[@digitalmarcel]

After just 3 seconds of watching the video I had already thumbs upped and subscribed. I'm in love :-)

[@DerAlteGriesgram]

Excellent explantions, best how-to tarp video I found so far.

[@jetmuchacho]

OMG your amazing, helpful, knowledgeable, resourceful, natural, and beautiful. The people close to you are lucky.

[@stecass6182]

Thank you, good video, enjoyed the thoughtful input. Disregard the stupid comments.

[@randomrides]

The rubbery ropey thing is called a bungee cord. 🧐

[@GerbenNZ]

Square tarps for life! Nothing is as versatile or effective as a 3x3. I go with a full silicone tarp myself (my old Nordisk is still going strong after years and years of abuse). I never had to use my tarp in tree-less terrain. In that case I usually just use my waterproof bivvy bag, so I stick to tree setups. You can go fully or partially closed on those, too. But the reason I like tarps is that you can sleep out in the rain, but still see the stars when they poke through again later. I have seen gale force winds in them (not fun, but it worked), nights of driving rain and full bore thunder storms (those were fun!). Even then, nothing beats a good tarp setup. Awesome enthusiasm! Keep up the good work and keep having fun out there!

[@joeladams6566]

I like the third setup. Never thought of that layout. You are very fun to watch I am looking forward to what comes next. Include your dog more please and purple is a great color on you

[@Mauropaylenao]

"Im a genius!" ...... Suscribed XD You are great and funny, and a genius of course

[@gaelperrin3422]

Just came back from my first night under a tarp, it was raining all the time. Thanks for your video, it was very usefull. (I had a horrible night btw but I was expecting it, practice makes perfect)

[@fistfulpennies5792]

I have camped up north canada and there are many things that are important......a good sleeping bag is a must and knowledge how to make fire in rain , snow , is paramount importance...........be safe

[@aybeesea6115]

your dog is awesome......always 'eyes on' at the start

[@RossPotts]

I’ve tried that 3 sided pyramid. The flaw in folding that flap to the inside is if seepage occurs, it is now directed to the inside and that open edge pretty much allows water to drip on that whole side. I found it works better folded to the outside.

[@robbabcock_]

You're not backpacking alone- you have your dog! :-)

[@SuperSaltMine]

Awesome video! Your sketchbook diagrams are a brilliant addition.

[@nvrumi]

The stretchy rope is called a "bungee" here in the states. I keep several around to secure stuff. I would not use one for anything that was critical, but they are really useful to minimize "tarp flap." Good job!

[@warriormonk723]

OMG Becky look at her tarp I love big tarps and I can't lie

[@seanfox9878]

Nice set ups keep practicing there is hundreds of tarp set ups and you're a great teacher

[@jimbojet8728]

An Army Poncho, UK or German, with a Poncho liner will make a great ground sheet for you in your tarp shelters. They are really good doing what they were designed to do too. Keeping you and your gear dry, warm and concealed. I admit to liking the German colours. Great for an outdoors person like yourself, on a budget. Good luck Estonia Hiker.

[@frankpike7369]

Great job with all the tarp shelter set-ups. I used the third (last) one you demonstrated and for my use, it was the best. Rigged out my 3x3 meter tarp with all the guidelines, so it's a fast set up. Thanks.

[@MaiuLunekund]

+Frank Pike Thanks for the feedback :)

[@olekschenko-1974]

A beautiful smile and a very interesting video! Thank you)

[@dirtyhoegradingco1746]

Came for the tarps, subbed for the accent

[@mohamadhidayat1875]

greeting from indonesia. i like your videos and enjoying it very much. it gives me knowledge. your vid inspires me to take a hiking journey with my wife. keep up the good work & be safe!

[@Imperio112]

Thank you so much for all your videos! When I have a bad Working-Day.....I watch one of your vids and it puts a smile on my face, because of your happiness and your wonderful smiling and of course Luna. Go on that way, thank you, give Lunar a Kiss and a hug from me.....and a sausage :) Keep on smiling, greets from far away Germany, Henning

[@deetee-uk]

Excellent...love your enthusiasm :-)

[@pspicer777]

Love the video. 'Rubbery thing with hook" is "bungee cord' ... but I like your name for it better!! 😀

[@allsorts-]

Cool. There's me thinking "I wonder what ways I could use my poles with a tarp" searches KZbin and I need look no further as this is the top of the list. Thanks.

[@Mysteryman93]

Never seen someone so happy making shelters. Subscribed to see more happy videos. Thanks.

The stretchy thing is called 'bungee cord'.

In Australia we call the "rubbery thing" an "oky strap". Nice vid. Thanks.

never imagined you could use a tarp in so many ways thanks for that

Clever use of the notebook :-) Greetings from Norway, and thumb up.

[@alfonsomartinez8405]

Great video. I love how you show a diagram of the tarp set up with each configuration. Well done..

[@JamesDavis-rz2cq]

HAHAHAA @ the spider and horror music. That was very funny

[@martybgoodmartybgood9809]

nice video seems like a totally awesome person also

[@OscarRodSeedsofG]

Thank you for sharing your video. It was easy to follow all your instructions. I love what you call the "stringy ropey things" We all can see what they are buy the way you describe them was genuine and beautiful. Thank you!!!!

[@bfgivmfith]

Nice! Might have to get two trekking poles now. Never saw a use for them before. Fortunately I have plenty of stretchy / spider things on hand, and tarps. :) Fun, informative video, thanks!

[@adamlong54]

if you have no floor you always trench your tent to keep dry the rain goes into the trench you dig it's like a water canal works great.

[@afroninjadeluxe]

Can you please explain better? You always dig a hole under the tent so water goes there and.. its good?

[@adamlong54]

+afroninjadeluxe if you have no floor tent you dig a ditch about 6 inches deep and the rain off the tarp runs into the ditch and the ground in the middle stays dry as the tarp pita the rain into the ditch dug to keep you dry . if you don't dig the ditch the water can run all over and get you and your gear wet. you can dig a circle or triangle or square you always make the drainage part go down slope or down hill

[@jaseastroboy9240]

I think Adam is describing digging a trench around the outside of the tent to guide any water around the tent rather than it flowing under or into the tent. Kind of like a moat around a castle.

[@gallente4TW]

Stretchy string things are bungee cords. Pronounced 'bun-jee', unless of course you're from Birmingham or Newcastle, lol. :-)

[@biteme19671]

Great setups, my type of woman, outdoorsy, and beautiful to boot, keep up the great video's.

[@faniefaze]

I like it if one make something for more than one function. A poncho is a pretty awesome piece of kit you can wear when you're hiking in the rain, but it's too small to use as a tent also. So how about if you make two poncho's as one piece, you wear them on top of each other (so what ?) and when you want to camp you separate them and fold open to have double the size. You can extend the rear of the poncho's length to cover your rucksack without being too short at the back and gain a bit larger tent that way. When done sleeping you fold the one over the other and you can wear it or carry it. A poncho is just a piece of rectangular tarp with a hood fitted. A double tarp will be a longer rectangular with two hoods. Lol, just make sure the hoods face the same way when folded. Want to give it a go ?

[@salimufari]

One of the most important things that all of these style of videos don't mention is facing. Always put the low end into the average wind direction so it doesn't fill from the front & rip your tarp off you in the middle of the night. Experienced hikers would know these things but new folks not so much.

[@mm3biff340]

a very beautiful outdoors woman the best kind there is

[@tnhiker9599]

Great video! Appreciated the inset diagrams. Keep up the good work.

[@Hockeyfan9884]

The camp set up you have is awesome. being myself from northern Canada , you do instill great camping and bushcraft skill. thank you.

[@KaneLono]

lil tip.. tie a rope between 2 trees. throw the tarp over the rope. stake it down. done.

[@Iazzaboyce]

What's the point of the tarp being lightweight if you also have to carry a piano?

[@kaiyote4717]

The music is fantastic. I love this video and your accent

[@skilkahjus]

Well done, We get lots of rain here in southeast Alaska. This will come in handy. Thank you for sharing.

[@sonofeloah]

I know this is a couple of years later, but having just come upon your channel, I watched and subscribed. So, HI from the usa! And that stretchy cord is called a bungee cord. As for me, taking two tarps is not any more of a burden than taking one. Never know what the weather will throw at you and having the ability to not be laying on bare earth is a plus to personal comfort and health. I enjoyed this and will watch your other posts.

[@raymondbailey1970]

I just popped on here to i`ll sub you got to have humidity=Air flow as condensation will give you pnuemonia it causes fluid on the lung.Well done that last set up was best imho.Regards Ray.

[@tfpvlogsandvids1339]

Estonia looks like a forest from a fairytale. I like the look of third set up the best. Set up that way it might capture some heat from a campfire to keep you warm at night too. Good job.

[@Daltonleach11]

“Flexible string rope thing” just so you know not criticizing! We call that (or I and the people around me do) a bungee cord in English. 👍🏻

[@rkf2746]

😉 I chuckled all through her video about that. She does a great job. The "flexible string rope thing" just made it that much more entertaining. "Gizmo" is my favorite go-to when I can't think of, or don't know what something is called. Take it easy!!

[@billyandrew]

Your rubbery thing is called a bungy or bungee (pronounced bunjee) strap or cord. Great vid, packed with information, but simplified. Good work, young lady!

[@livingskills]

tarp is the best way to go!!...especially if one needs and wants to avoid people!!! ;-) thanks for the video...

[@SuperJupiter9]

Very ingenious tarp origami and well explained with the drawings, I loved it. My only concerns is, here in Québec, Canada we have the most voracious mosquitoes and in crazy amounts. So for me, sleeping in an open tent would equal to suicide!

[@Tonyx.yt.]

are mosquitoes more common outside urban area? or vice versa?

[@SuperJupiter9]

mostly outside urban area and we we also have midges

[@Tonyx.yt.]

ok, yes here in apls there also mosquitoes and midges but not massive amount, without open lights in the night few insects come to you

[@BushCampingTools]

Like Origami for tarps!

[@tomasjurman]

Hi Maiu, thank you a lot. Have a nice day.

[@scottgudsg]

Cute video! You're a lot of fun! Good music mix and presentation!

[@andrewcira]

That was fun!!! Thank You!!!

[@Motorep146]

You could carry 2 extra hair bands (hair scrunchies) instead of the bungee to save some weight. A couple of times around the trekking handle and you're done!

[@MaiuLunekund]

Yep, I have found that the hair bands are quite useful outdoors ;)

[@jhonyermo]

Great idea. On my list today!!

[@ih8ua119]

I like the flexible string rope thingy (Bungee cord).. That was adorable!!!

[@LeeRalph100]

I wished I could give you two thumbs up!!! Well done!! I usually hammock camp, and occasionally solo tent camp. I like this idea of just a tarp and tracking poles..but I am not going to lie, I am not keen on a copperhead snake sliding into the shelter with me during summer camping. LOL I have only used the plow point setup. You showed some really nice setups. Thank You!!

[@peterscustoms3900]

Lol you can.... just make two accounts, two thumbs up. :D
