Excellent stuff David, glad I could help

[@maxsparks5183]

I like your use of a prussic knot with the carabiner on the free end so you can clip it onto your tarps center loops without having to go to the trouble of tying knots. Thanks for teaching me that today.👍

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

Glad I could help

[@motrock93b]

Yes, it's a good method. If you don't have the carabiner you can use the same prusik loops with a toggle (small stick) instead. Put the prusik loop through the tarp's loop, then run the toggle through the prusik loop and pull it tight. I hope I've explained this well enough to be understood.

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

Not with this size tarp, you need a 4x4

Any time i try any setup, it looks too small for me, they seem roomier in videos ;)

What i mean is, i would never want to be touching the tarp when sleeping (condensation etc). With this one fully closed, there's no room to stretch out, obviously.

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

I tried it with a 4x4

[@xMrBlack]

Doing this with a 3x3 works pretty well, but if youre over maybe 5'6" or so, youll struggle to lay down in it without curling up or laying diagonally. A 4x4 would be ideal. I did to a slightly modified verson of this setup with a 10'×15' on a trip maybe 2 weeks ago. (tie out spacing on the long ends screws everything up), turned out alright. I was dry, I got some sleep, there was plenty of room inside, pretty easy setup once you know what you're doing.

I really enjoyed your video. I just bought 2 3x3 tarps from DD . I am going to use my tarp over my MSR tent so I don’t have to use rain fly I live in Florida and it’s hellish hot. But here we can’t bushcraft because of ants and mosquitoes.

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

Sound tough, is it all year round

[@tjfm59]

one thing i have learned over the yrs tent camping is too add a extra tarp cover over the tent w rainfly setup under it. considering some of the new tents are just skeeter cloth on the top may have to double up on the extra tarps. like having 3 layers of roof between me and rain.

[@thriftysurvivor6117]

Very informative video. I use this setup using the end tie offs when I'm setting up for a hammock. That allows for enough length to hang the hammock underneath, while still allowing you to close the doors on both ends. In order for the doors to close completely with the "hammock variation", you have to hang the ridge-line higher to create a steeper angle which allows the doors to overlap slightly at the bottom while leaving a small opening at the top to allow the hammock straps to pass through for hanging your hammock.

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

I did another variant on the a frame, I think it's more like what your talking about

[@thriftysurvivor6117]

@@RedBranchBushcraft I figured you were probably familiar with that variant. Thanks for replying to my comment.

I keep looking at that. With a quarter of 3meters folded over on each end. Leaves a pretty short space inside. For one person diagonally, ok, but for two? Would a 3x4 m tarp be better? Also, on the bc Coast, the ground is usually wet. Then you add a ground sheet. We are getting to a tent, set up.

I'm short so it fits me but you can try a 4x4 tarp, works great

So you are 5’7” and there is enough space to lay down? If so that’s a great set up I’m only 5’6” so if you fit I should. I’m just about to order a DD tarp and will try this out. Have other tarps but want one with all the extra attachment points for creative setups.

Dd 3 x3 tarps are great , I can't remember if I could lie straight in this or corner to corner, but you could always just make the ends less square to fit in straight

[@jacquesmerde3282]

3 meters is close to 10 feet. If the sides are 4'x5', you'd have 6'3" at a diagonal.

​@@RedBranchBushcraft thank you for this video :) I'm just getting into tarpology here in Denmark and This set up looks really nice And functional :) Would you also recommend the XL size, or does a tarp that Big become unwieldy and tricky for a newbie?

[@PhilCherry3]

This tarp configuration has some limitations if one is using it as a true over night shelter rather than as a temporary shelter. The main issue with trying to rely on it as an over night shelter in foul weather is if there is a heavy rain and any slope to your site, there is the possibility the water running off the side of the shelter will make its way underneath and into your dry area.

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

thats true with a lot of tarp setups

[@wolf1393]

That's why you have to have an entrenching tool 🥳 So you can dig a trench around the tent, so rainwater won't come into your dry area.

[@PhilCherry3]

@@wolf1393 Yes trenching around the tarp shelter will stop water from running under the tarp after it rolls down the sides. However some sites such as campgrounds will not allow trenching around the tarp shelter either because of the site’s condition or park policies or both.

Nice job. I work with families on emergency preparedness, and I'd love to see more demos of tarp layouts designed to accommodate more people. The design in this video looks like it could easily be adapted to use two tarps that overlap in the center. Each tarp then provides an "end" or door, and the other end of the tarp is wide open where it overlaps with its mate.
