@Jonsoh8113 жыл бұрын
I like the setup, but I would change it a bit. Mostly because of the extended ground sheet. I wouldn’t connect the corner loops with the 2nd loops of the ground part. This way you can pull the middle in towards the pole in bad weather. This combined with a single forward line from the side flaps would give better coverage, less problems with inward rain and no central guy out in the place of a fire.
@hallstewart2 жыл бұрын
I'd also be concerned about rain collecting on the exposed part of the ground sheet and pooling. I think the suggestion above is possibly the solution
@TheBikerDodge Жыл бұрын
I've not seen it done this way before. I'm impressed. I've had a 3x3 for years, not sure if it will be big enough. I agree with the comments regarding rainfall on the ground sheet. I would also say that I never walk on the tarp. If there are any sharp stones under it that you haven't noticed it could very easily be punctured.
@Jonsoh811 Жыл бұрын
@@TheBikerDodgewell it all depends on your size. For my 1.9 meters, I need a 3.5x3.5 tarp. It is also essential do tie out the open side first to prevent rain coming in. Biggest problem, atleast for me in freezing weather, is condensation inside. The closed end/sides need to be opened to mitigate this somewhat. Especially since I used my jacket to close the front.
@weeringjohnny3 жыл бұрын
An original set up with a floor, many thanks. It'll stop water running under the walls in heavy rain, especially if you fold up the front portion of the floor and support it with a couple of stakes. Perhaps you could use a taut line hitch on the front guy to make tensioning easier if the tarp stretches after set up. I try to avoid walking on my tarp to try and extend its working life.

Clearly this is not a configuration to use if your expecting rain! Come on folks, the front is WIDE OPEN! BACK OFF! It's good config! 2) If you are concerned about possible rain than simply attach a length of paracord to the two front floor tie-down's, lift it up and you should be good. Thank you for sharing this one! I'm loving it! As I said it's great for clear nights where you want to enjoy the stars!

Great idea I wish I had used this last year with a lady friend when using my small with sloped entry to foot box area yet roomy 1 person 2 wall 3 season tent that took time setting up with poles, guy lines, rain fly (that leaked when it rained lol) when it was getting dark! I like the built in floor because now I’m just using my Lanshan Mier rain fly without the bug netting for more room & 1 pole like yours but no floor with mine means a colder inside for me so I’ll try this in a smaller configuration because I’m just solo use & smaller lighter tarp is better I’ve pitched a poncho & clear plastic shower curtain ($ store $1.25) or painters floor cloth $1 cheap as a front door to see out of & hold in the heat plus really no added weight with a ground cloth but wind comes in around the lower to ground clearance areas with that pitch This will be a nice alternative for sure in what a 7’x7’ or 8’x8’ ? If you have a smaller version I’ll check it out…Thanks!

Hi might I suggest you add a small sheet of clear plastic painter drop cloth to your tent large enough to cover the opening. Placing a fire 3 ft or 1 meter away will convert it from an open tarp tent into a super shelter. Obviously a reflector behind the fire would be preferred to focus as much of the fire's heat onto the shelter as possible. The plastic sheet only need to be taller and wider than your opening. The additional weight would be very minimal. Another addition that could help is using a disposable emergency blanket as a rear wall heat reflector. I should add as a caviot that I use a lavvu but have used this method with it down to Temps from 32-17 degrees Fahrenheit. That the coldest it gets in my area on extremely rare occasions maybe once in a decade or longer. I slept through most of the night only waking twice to feed the fire.

Shelters are quick and simple to build when you have a tarp with you. So often we see people building shelters,with stones and logs, or digging extravagant under ground hobbit type dwellings, when all they really need is a tarp! I bought a DD tarp many years ago, and use it occasionally for a quick bit of shelter during summer months. It’s been great. I have a 3 season lightweight tent which serves for everything else, what’s all this nonsense we see, with people digging and chopping and building? Have they nothing better to do?
