I've seen other videos with tarp set ups and they're all a bit different but informative. I haven't criticized a single one of them or accused them of "copying" each other. No one is born with this knowledge---it's passed down through countless generations as Dave is doing with this video.
I'll save you the time by pointing out that he didn't invent the flintlock rifle, steel knives or how to make fire either--but he does a great job of passing on the knowledge of these things.
Dave I used some Hickory nuts in lieu of musket ball.
Hi Dave your right about the plastic balls I use roll on deoderant bottle balls for this application thy are lighter and work just as good
Definitely be fun the kids, when my son and I ( who's 10 now) set my hunting blind, he was so excited! I let him do most of it, I just supervised...lol. He was happy and I enjoyed it. We spent about 4 hours for something that would usually be 1/2 hour or less but it was 4 hours of fun and quality time in the woods...
Dave I have watched every single one of your videos, some a dozen times! I never get tired of listening to you teach and learning these skills from you! You are a master of your craft, yet you are a humble teacher too. I am blessed to be able to learn so many skills from you, which I am now passing on to my children. Thank you so much!
could you post that pdf file you mentioned about different tarp set ups on the pathfinder facebook page
At the very end you spoke of sharing with your family. So true! What a seed to plant... beautiful.
I am teaching a session in Cub Scouts for Castaway in which we are to build temporary shelters. THIS is the key - so many options in this one setup. Of course we'll be doing debris huts and poncho shelters - those are always a hit.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!
I am so glad my dad did camping a bush craft with me at a very young age. I have learned so much from him and am so very thank full for him in my life. Dave i also want to thank you for your time you put in to your school and videos. I hope to see you at one of your classes soon.

Thanks, Dave. Obviously, you don't have to offer us anything at all, (especially for free) and so I appreciate all of your efforts. Been a fan since about 2008, and am very happy I stumbled on your information back then. Keep up the great, and generous work. My best wishes to you, your family, and all your friends who contribute to helping us all.
This has to be my favorite video yet. I love the fact that you gave some ideas of painting the tarp and letting the kids make it their own. I can't wait to see the look on my 5 year olds face when I tell him we are going to make a tent out of this tarp, these marbles and this pole......
I made a Bivy out of the same material. a Simple canvas layer over a sleeping bag adds about 10 degrees to the rating. I used a series of different green and brown color RID cloth stains to make a version of woodland camouflage for low cost. I think it was less than 30 bucks and some time.
Well There are a lot of ideas out there, and most of them have been around for 200 yrs or more. Now that being said, if an idea can't be seen or heard it is no good for anyone. Just because it is on another channel doesn't mean everyone knows about it. I'm sure by Dave doing this video, it has shown a lot of people that didn't know about it. Lets be real here,the first people who has done a tarp like this has been dead way before You Tube came around.
The original video? I'm guessing these setups were used hundreds of years before video cameras were invented. You going to give Dave a hard time about using toggles? I'm sure he didn't invent toggles. Dave didn't invent the idea of decorating a tent either..... how does that taste? Take this knowledge and thank the man for sharing it.
Are you serious? So you see someone sharing skills to his audience and you have a problem with someone else sharing those skills with their audience? Did you ever stop to think that maybe the thousands of people that are subscribed to Dave have not seen the video that you are speaking of?
how about using hickory nuts for the tie outs?They sure are hard and they can be used for emergency rations if needed...lol,Great video. I will check out facebook for sure.
My family really appreciates all the training and advise. We love your show!!
great video. i like the fact that you were thinking about us bush men and ladies with kids. my 5 yr old daughter loves going out for a night or two and this is a great Idea to modify and include her in the making of our equipment. thanks my friend.. have been a subsciber for some time and I proud to say it.
You do realize that in the first 45 seconds of the video Dave explains that he is aware that this is in other videos, and why he is putting it here, right? Seriously, you have to be the worst failtroll ever.
Dave, I was in the scouts many many years ago. I have been watching your channel for about a month now. I am amazed just how many of these tip and setups I have forgotten. Thank you sir for this channel! Myself and my kids thank you. we got a lot projects in our future.
When I use a setup like this one, I take the corners that are folded in and tie a piece of cord to them and to the top of the pole. It makes a pocket to put things in so they aren't just laying around. I keep things that I might need to grab in them so I don't have to go into my pack, they're right there. Since I've started watching your videos, I try to make everything I got on me or around me have as many uses as I can get out of them. I feel that having more options makes it all better.
Anyone who wishes to go to the Facebook group he references should search for "The Pathfinder School Learning Center".
I wish I could speak directly to you or at least somebody who knows exactly what they're talking about but I've been to the Sherwin Williams paint store and I've seen their painters tarps and they look thin and not very waterproof. Are you sure they're waterproof. The package says its "spill resistant"
I want a tarp tent I don't want to pay 250 or $300 for a expensive tarp tent. I would like to find a tarp that will do the trick and be cost-effective. I am just about ready to go buy a canvas tarp, the big green army things that weigh about a thousand pounds, just to have something to camp with and I know those are waterproof, I don't know about painters tarps. But painters tarps are so much cheaper and weigh less. Is there some sort of treatment I can do to them to make them more waterproof?
love the videos, thanks. good tarp tent idea, just an idea, you could move the door toggles in about 4" so when closed it would create a small flap covering door opening
Dave very nice tarp set ups. I have used all three type of set ups, tho i use poly tarps, because there cheap. Great idea with the children painting lol, In my intro i show this design of tarp set up with the doors, and a stove pipe coming out the front doors. I spent the night in it with a friend and we fed a home made keg stove to keep us warm in the winter . worked well. thanks for the vids, take care bro.
I can't thank you enough for this video, I have seen this set up many times on other channels but with a square tarp. When I ask about using a rectangle tarp they never answer, so I was excited when one of the channels who know what they are talking about and relays the information in a detailed and concise manner. I hope one day to attend one or more of your classes. Again thank you for all your videos and knowledge that you share with us.
Dave, you are way too kind to idiots. It wastes bandwidth.
Hey man i cant find that file on the tarp set ups. I joined the face book page as well and alot of cool info on that page, great page, tho still looking for the tarp setup file lol.
this video in particular has given me something money can't buy. it has shown how to help youngsters along so that they are a part of the process instead of just waiting for the grown ups to "make the camp" happen. thanks again for blazing this worthwhile trail.
I beat Dave would make one hell of a scoutmaster.
Good one!
I think I like the other tent better. Space is king for me when it comes to my shelter. I can hang my poncho over the front to make a door and then it is available for me to grab if I need to use it.
AWESOME! Hello Dave. Thank You very much Sir! I've just bought my 1rst tarp and... guess what... it's a rectangular one (3*4m), cause I'm kind of tall guy (1.85m), and I thought it was the right one for me than, when time came to check the different tutos about tarps setup, I realise that most of people are using square tarps! LOL! So I'm very glad to find good solutions to use mine easely. Much love! Greetings from France ^_^
I actually prefer a tarp tent with a floor. but loved your point of letting the kids or grandkids paint the walls that is genius.... lol thanks
I dyed mine with black tea, then oiled it with coconut oil. Next time I will use linseed oil and turpentine with charcoal or dirt for color.
Great shelters, instructions and tips!
Making the kids paint the tarp... And sell it as a Picasso !!! OMG OMG OMG!!!
8 years old video but one of the most instructive and fun to watch on youtube. Everything's perfect!
Not like 90% of todays videos made of 45% of promoting all kind of stuff, 10% of tarp set up (with many skipped parts ) to end up with another 45% food and sleeping stuff commercials.
Thanks for this video!
I bet slingshot ammo would be great to use for the tie outs if it was large enough around. Smooth river stones and maybe even hard nuts like walnuts would probably work if they were available in a pinch and if you had no better alternatives.
Thank you. I've learned so much from watching your videos I consider your knowledge a treasure. Be safe stay vigilant.
Great video, really wish I paid more attention back in boy scouts. As for taking kids out I generally don't like little kids, but I know my 15 yr old cousin would love to get back out doors as soon as shes better (she is in remission from leukemia), but she still has a yr or so before she will be able to actually hike. For now she is stuck with drive in camping like Sam A. Baker state park.
got some dirt time this weekend with the Wife showing her really basic stuff, like sassafras leaves, yarrow, and sumac. Got to squirrel hunt in Shawnee national forest. I got 3 with Iron sights in a 3 hour period so you hunting with a smoke pole and trying to get it on camera is amazing. Fire making skills were practiced and teaching her how to get to dry wood after the rain. Thanks for all the teaching enjoyed the tarp series and will look for the PDF in a few minutes. want to take a class.
That is a great design that has been featured on many youtube channels. An improvement that wouldn't be too hard to do would be to replace all of the perimeter stake out points with a webbing of some sort that is stitched to the tarp. If you are going to go to the trouble to make all of the tie out points ahead of time at home, it is not much more effort to do the webbing with something like a speed stitcher sewing awl or a thread injector if you have access to one.
If youre using cable, have a technician come out and check the lines. I lived in a suburban neighborhood where youd think internet would have been good. turns out that a little nick in the line was causing connection to escape cutting my speed down by half with crazy spikes! check your connection by hitting ctrl-alt +delete, open task manager, and go to networking. if you notice severe flunctuations then the line could be bad. They will fix this issue for free because it was their faulty install
my son has a jrotc event coming up where they do an overnight learning wilderness survival. we have the coleman 4 person tent but ur configs are way cooler and rustic. i'm not sure when they go but i was going to provide a minimalist back pack with a foam rubber padding plus maybe 2 wool blankets and either the square or rectangle with gromits canvas.
After seeing these shelters, it has helped give me an idea of how to set up a tarp with a fire place in it. However, with an opening on both sides in the front and the back staked down, I still am trying to figure out how to keep enough gap in the back to make the fire place. I'm talking for winter camping, so keep that in mind. Anyone here have any Ideas? I am open to anything.
good job Dave. I noticed that you said that you prefer square tarps instead of rectangular. You have told that again a while ago. Can you please provide a brief explanation because i cannot see any solid reason. Plus more camping tarps are made rectangular, so this is more familiar since it it wide-spread. Be well
Who do you get to make your silny tarps? I want an 8x8 but everyone around here bigbox store wise says their tarps are 8x6 but that is starting size. Finished size is under those measurements. I want a good light waterpoof tarp. I like your teated canvas tarp as well. Who made that and where can I order one?
Thanks Dave!! Love the videos...
Never used these setups, something new for me to try. Question though, we get some pretty rough winds up here sometimes. How do these setups fair against strong wind gusts? I could see the tripod/tree setup working just fine in wind but the stick support looks a bit shaky.
Nice Dave. I've seen these designs before, but as always, much better explained on your videos.
Would you consider the oilskin canvas the best tarp for fire resistance? Ie: A small fire in front with occasional sparks etc hitting the tarp.
I'm loving these videos Dave! You just earned yourself a new subscriber.
Copy? lol, you think "that guy" invented this??? You do realize that this has been in use for hundreds of years before "that guy" made a video about it.
Lmao the stupidity of some ppl never cease to amaze me
I did not see the so called "original video" and would never have gotten this great idea to build a familie tipi with my kids if you didn't share it on your channel, so I thank you for that Dave.
love the vid brother but especially love the ending... that is so true... get more outdoors with your kids and make a footprint in their lives instead of using electronic babysitters. Love your vids Dave.
Thnx for uploading this. Watched it just after you uploaded it last night. Was wondering why it just cut off all of a sudden. Glad to see you caught it and got it fixed. Thanks for all your hard work.
Another great Vid Dave. I want to check out the chart you put up on FB. Can't seem to find it though, is it bunched in with another topic maybe? Thanks for all the work, God bless you and your family.
Nice, but the weak point is the one peg that holds the rod.
How large is the tarp? 3x4 meters or?
you did a great job seting this tent up ,way to go ,lets see more of this thank u
Besides learning a few tricks myself, I have recommended this to friends who have kids (gotta admit; my cats and dog wouldn't gain much from it). It's one of your best, IMHO. You're a great teacher!
You have the best videos out there when it comes to bushcraft and you explain it well ! Thank you very much for all your great videos good stuff !
If it is really windy you could shorten the post a little and run you a couple of anchor lines real tight with some good stakes in the ground.
Great idea here, would be very useful in a lightweight backpacking scenario also
We should all watch this. Soon our government will have us all living like this.
Would you recommend this for a winter backpacking trip?
Dave is there a tarp shelter you can have a fire in with you. For winter conditions when you don't have proper clothes or blanket? Thanks
i could watch these things all day everyday, im like a sponge. haha wish i had the money to be an instructor for ya id do it in a heartbeat im right up here in columbus. as for the answering questions, You answer about half of the questions i ask on here so i dont know what that guy is talking about you NEVER answering questions.
i do this for deer when im skinning them. no more cutting and pulling cutting and pulling if you are close to your 4wheeler or truck.
I'd been wondering about this the other day. I have two black walnut trees and lots of hulls to stain the tarp with. Thanks again.
Nice! Have set up a number of impromptu tears arrangements, but it was nice to learn about some more! Love it!
you know.. this would be easily set up on small scale with sandbags for stakes in a little campers room too.. i would have really enjoyed that as a kid, but i would have made it a tipi. i liked native americans a lot those days. always enjoy your vids man, thanks..
i havent....until now..lol Dave says over and over again, we are in this to learn together and to learn from each other, its not "stealing" if it was stealing then we would be stealing from the everyday outdoorsmen of the old, back to ancient times, its simply being passed along as it should be.
I would never go outside and do any of these but I do find it informative. You're very interesting person.
this is great. i take my 5 year old daughter with me on hikes and bushcrafting scouts. she loves it. this is the kind of stuff i grew up doing. the painters cloth is a good idea for a cheap resource and project item. great stuff dude keep it up.
Great stuff. Thx Dave! Gunna try this with my kids the next time the misses lets us out the house, lol.
Great message, Dave. Painting his own tipi might even dislodge the want to go turd hunting from my 5yr old's mind.
hey dave I have a rossi 243 as a woods gun I don't have the cash for a 12 guage do you think a rossi is a good gun
you are a great teacher man, i have seem some rude comments on your videos, dont listen to them bud, your doing good, i learn a lot from your videos, thank you for putting time to make them
Hey Dave, can you do a update on the kit you carry into the woods for a overnighter? and the bag you carry it in?
Do you ever make homemade oil cloth with your canvas tarps? How does/would that work in an outdoor situation?
Good one Dave that's what I been doing with my son with sleeping outside getting him use to it in back yard
I have been looking for hours for a video like this one! I am trying to get into muzzleloading and I want a pro[er canvas shelter.
Fantastic idea Dave about the kids decorating the tepee 😎 love it ❤️👍
Are those canvas painters drop cloths able to be used as a ground cloth underneath a traditional tarp?
You could probably use tent waterproofing spray to treat the canvas
Wow. You saw the original video of a hundreds of years old skill? I really doubt that....
I think you should revisit this dave great video and knowledge
Awesome video Dave. Looks like I'm heading to the HardeWare store this weekend.
That setup makes a warm shelter against the cold wind.
Dave, thanks sharing your knowledge and skills. Your videos help others become comfortable outdoors and learn self reliance skills.
I can not find the Pathfinder Learning Center on facebook, got a link ?
Great vid Dave. What do you think the tarp you have in the video weighs?
Hey Dave can you make a video talking about bow saws
Thanks,
Eric
Another great video! Keep em coming Dave.
Great video, very informative. 👌🤠👍
I just got the British Basha Tarp 7x8 in Dessert Camo, Def watching this video a few times.. Thanks for everything Dave Canterbury, much respect from Yellowknife Canada..
I love watching your videos. Best wishes from Germany.
Do you have to treat a painter's tarp for it to repel water
Now I gotta go buy a tarp for my 2 1/2 yr old daughter!
Your tutorials are awesome. I have learned so much useful information and will be using many this camping season. I appreciate your sharing! ☺
Great video, Dave. any video coming from you is pure Gold. There's always something to learn from your video's.
as a family man I must say thats an excellent idea
Almost 6 years later and this video is still helping people. I feel like I’ve seen all the tarp videos on YT yet this is the first I’ve seen with real doors. Yes there’s one with a foldover entrance you crawl threw, but it reminds me of reverse birthing and closing the “door” is not convenient. Your setup is completely convenient.
Finally, the comment at the end about the kids and the spray paint etc., that’s priceless.
Excellent video Dave. Great, great job.
