- Just a quick video of how to make a 3x3 DD tarp into a tent.
I'm also using my brand new Jet Black DD tarp which i haven't seen many of online.
I hope this video helps,
Mike.
Great job Mike 👍. Cracking set up and well presented 👍. I could hear your furry bushcraft buddy having a right good chomp on some sticks. She was having a great time out there too 🙂🐶👍. Cheers Mike, all the best fella, Rick n Billy
Hey Cheers Rick and thank you for watching. I actually made a proper tent peg and that unfortunately is what Daisy decided to chew 😂 so I gave up haha.
@@TheCheshireWanderer Haha, I could hear her munching away lol 😃😃
Our Springer would have been all over and under that tarp 😅
This is the best Video for people like me who are new to camping and never used a tarp. I watched many other Videos but your's is the best for me!
It was so easy to follow your instruction and it was good at my first try!
Tomorow I will sleep my first night outdoor in my tarp :)
Thanks to you!
Hey,
That's good to know. I hope your camp was successful and you'll loving wild camping 🍻

Brilliant ! I have watched about 10 people make this shelter . Your one is the clearest instruction by far 👍 Thank you 🏕
Cheers Pete, that's good to know because it's quite hard to do without having the camera all over the place. Thank you for watching🙌
Pete you hit the nail on the head there you couldn't say it any better 👍🏼💯
Finally a video that shows how to build this set up.
Hope it was helpful enough for you to copy? How did you get on?
Great video! Like they say in STEP BROTHERS “lots of room for activities!”
Subscribed, I'm just getting into tarps. Cheers from Ashland Kentucky USA 🇺🇸✌️🇬🇧
Cheers Freddy. Just so you know, collecting the difference colours becomes addictive haha Cheers mate
Just like the other guy commented the way you said this up and explained it was way better than any other video I’ve seen thank you so much
Cheers Marco, it's good to see so many say the same thing about this video because I've seen a few out there. Hopefully you got out and give it go.
Atb Mike.
I’m impressed with the tarp and your configuration, but that campsite is the most impressive!
I think this camp is the best I've managed to find so far.
Glad you liked the setup 👌
Thank you for watching
Atb Mike.
Awesome buddy.. I fancy that one .. cheers Chris & Sam
Absolutely fantastic camping spot. Lovely Labrador as well.
Cheers James, and yeah she's absolutely amazing! Cheers for watching. Atb Mike.
Your video really helped me, Thank you 👍👍
Cheers from indonesia 🤝
Hey, glad it helped you. Thanks you for watching,
Atb Mike.
Fantastic video ! Really easy to follow. Oh and a lovely Dog, too !
Excellent, I'm happy you find it easy to follow. Did you try it? Atb Mike.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing this video! 🤠🙌
Thanks brother 🍻
Nice clear instructions and a spot on tarp tent. 🏕️🤘
Cheers mate, thank you for watching. Hope you're well?
Awesome vid, very helpful to me being a novice
@@philipedwards01 good to know people still find this video useful. Good luck and I hope you have a great camp.
Impressed! Rain is such a fickle mistress, as I like to sleep in a hammock which often proves idiotic. This can work as a solid backup.
Hey,
It's always good to have a backup just in case. Thank you for watching,
Atb Mike.
Likewise, Steve. I usually set up both my hammock & tarp and my 10X10 shelter tarp for the exact same reason. That, and I get to play with my gear!! It's always a win-win scenario, having two options for places to sleep!
Really clear instructional Mike. Pretty steady in high winds mo doubt. Many thanks for sharing. Mark
Cheers Wye and thank you for watching. I'd say stable in winds and you can peg out the other straps and add guy lines on the back if needed.
Atb Mike.
@@TheCheshireWanderer A pleasure. Yeah as steady as. Peace dude.
A top top setup mate and the colour is just bang on, love it 👍
It's a shame we couldn't record the other day mate but for the rain. Cheers mate 🍻
Nice video. Looks like plenty of room!
Thanks Lew. Back when covid wasn't really a thing 👀
Top man looks cool 👌 have seen this about but never tried it myself but now looking at your videos mike you have explained that perfectly how to do it so I will have to have a go thanks for the video it's brilliant 🤘💯
Hey Ninj, yeah get out and try and and do your own video. I guess if you could you'd have a titanium coloured tarp 😅 that's for watching mate 🙌
Lol yep I wood love a titanium one lol🤣🤣👊🥋
@@theninjaman 😂🤣 the titanium ninja 💪
Excellent tutorial. Thanks
Thank you Pedro, I'm glad the video has been of use.
I'm yet to try this set up really love the look of it in are videos we only use the same thing so I'm gona try this next time
@mydixiewrecked4582 I tried it last time me my boy went out.. I posted some pics on his TH-cam channel I brought out a 3x2.4m tarp thinking it was 3x3 but still worked well.. Once I had a few trys in the rain
@mydixiewrecked4582 yes iv seen that set up too with the floor.. But iv also seen alot more tarp tent set ups were going to try this year
@mydixiewrecked4582 nice one il defo look um up an give a sub thank you
Great clear video. Cool shelter! I'm going to try with my all weather tarp now 👍 thanks
How do mate, make sure you post a picture on the Instagram when you do! Any closer to your first video?
@@TheCheshireWanderer hey mate, thanks for the tip. I posted a couple already. Bit strange when you do the first time. The Steak Detective remains annonymous at the moment 😁
@@thesteakdetective bloody hell so you have. Off to watch them now 🤙
@@TheCheshireWanderer Cheers Mike, let us know what you think. First couple a bit strange to do but bit of fun. 👍
Great video buddy, nice set up and very informative. Beautiful black lab too! ATB!
Hey, thank you for watching Sooty. Labradors are just the best 😄 cheers mate,
Mike.
Such an easy video to follow 👍 more like this please. Keep it up mate 👊 all the best
Cheers Rob, thank you for the kind words. I'm still struggling to talk to the camera so these really help. Thanks again,
Atb Mike.
Not seen the DD black tarp before,nice one Mike,its a shame they don't make there tents in coyote brown,it would match that coniferous forest floor really well ☝👍
Cheers Felip,
I've not actually seen the DD tents yet but I agree they should make them coyote too. I think the multicam works really well in a pine forest too.
The glove is a great idea thanks
No problem..hope you have fun trying this idea.
thnkas just got this tarp, that was really helpful guide
Glad it helped. Hope yours works out well 🌲🏕
Nice set up man, love the channel 💯🙌
Thanks Brother. I've just subbed your channel

Enjoy the day!
Nice one mate, thanks for this
No problem brother 🍻
Nice 1 matey, nice n clear instructions 👍
Cheers mate, comments like this help because I still struggle talking to the camera 😅 thank you for watching 🙌
@@TheCheshireWanderer I know that feeling. I cringe when watching my own back sometimes haha
@@t_poutsider exactly the same 🤣
Great job, think ill be trying that some stage.ATB
Cheers mate, glad it helped. It's a good setup to use and you could if needed use your pack as a door.
What could be done to make it bugproof?
Hmmm I'm not sure. You can buy small bug nets but I don't think you'd have much room. Maybe just use it in the winter.
Nice and clear! Thanks very much!
No problem and thank you for watching. Happy camping 🌲🏕
does this tarp block all sunlight going through?
Mostly yes. I've only ever used it within a pine forest where it's quite dark anyway. You could definitely sleep in, in the morning without being woken up by the light.
How do you know how long the pole needs to be?
I use my walking pole instead of a stick. I set it to 1.2m long and it's ideal for this set up.
I set it to 1.3m when I'm making a teepee from this tarp as well.
It's been a while bit I'm sure I pulled the tarp tent up and put a pole against it and cut where I thought was the right height.
Atb Mike.
Thank you!
Silly question, i bought a 3.5 by 3.5 DD tarp since i couldnt find a 3by3, but that wouldnt be a problem right to make a tarp tent, i want to test this out
Hi, I've never tried with that size but I guess it'll be tough. If you've tried since your comment, let me know how it went. You can either reply here or send me a dm on Instagram.
Atb Mike.
@@TheCheshireWanderer hi, i saw your comment i can send you some pics of it if you like, ive tried it and it works great as a tarp tent, also since its a bit bigger you have more room
Yes that would be good. Send them over 🍻
Thanks for this!
Thanks mate, best tutorial I've seen on this set up. Never used it but thinking I will this weekend. Is the pole you used a specific length? Thanks for sharing mate, Andy 👍
Hi Andy,
Sorry for late reply. Glad you found the vid useful. Once you've got the tarp pegged out you pull the centre and measure it against a stick then cut to length. It can be different sizes each time you use this set up.
Atb Mike.
Watching this, it would be great if DD sold just a tent inner, so a groundsheet and a mesh dome, designed to be used with a tarp like you have done here
Hey Zippy,
I've often thought the same thing. I've got a inner from my old Hexpeak V4A and I've been thinking about doing a setup to see if it fits.
Thanks for watching Mark,
Atb Mike.
Good tutorial buddy 💪
Thanks brother 🤙
Does this style of shelter have a name?
Just tarp tent as far as I'm aware. Atb
Black???? didn`t know they did a black? , nice vid by the way , nice and clear
Cheers, glad you liked it.
Atb Mike 🌲⛺️
how tall are you?
5ft 9" mate.
@@TheCheshireWanderer yeah figured. im 6ft 4 and a 3x3 is just a little too short for me with this setup :( i borrowed my friends dd 4x4 but its a monster to carry around, thinking about investing in a dd superlite 3x4,5 to see if that would help maybe
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Looks nice but in summer time it will be a oven!
It's not though 🤔 it's England.
Like you say qwik n ez
Absolutely. Thanks for watching.
I like your video a lot, but I can’t understand what the hell you’re saying
Haha sorry about that. Quite a few have a problem with my accent. Where are you from?
