I was thinking if you put a mark on the tent the length of the pool if you have to fabricate one it would be real simple just a thought
That's a great idea. You could put several codes for different setups. Thanks for the view and comment!
@@SurvivalTheory what are the dimensions of the tent. I know the back is 10' but what are the two sides?
@@bashfulbrother 10x10x10
For those of us who have 10 x 10 tarps, what is the length of the pole?
@@terryfinley7760 I don't know. I guesstimated in one of the comments. Im 6 foot if that helps for a reference. Thank you for watching and commenting!
That guy has destroyed the lightweight bivy/ tent manufacturers by a trekking pole and a tarp (oh and 3 pegs). That is a no nonse shelter. Well done and well presented. I can't wait trying this.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
It is great, but the ground is not protected, so the rain can run underneath.
Great video, great channel and a GREAT set-up. If the skies ever open up and immediately downpour, you can actually construct this 3 sided pyramid very, very quickly and very easily, keeping you and all your gear dry by simply getting underneath it immediately and building it from the inside. You'd need a pre-cut pole/hiking pole of course, but if the tarp is easy to get at this takes ZERO time to set up (3 pegs and a pole), and then reinforce from the outside when better dressed and prepared. I used this set-up one 90kph+ winter afternoon/evening, and she held up great. I did have to make adjustments often (reaching from inside outwards to resecure pegs that would come loose). I also used #36 bankline to tie from the bottom of the 3 corner pegs to the top of the peak/pole to try to reduce the pole from leaning and shifting around. The winds were gusting a lot and seriously pushing hard, pushing the walls in for hours!, and that was moving the center pole. If I had not been awake the entire time I am not sure it would have stayed there without me tweeking it, and resecuring it whenever needed. It was a brutal night, but very, very awesome!! IT WORKS WELL! Next time out, I am going to set this same configuration up again and make 3 poles to run from ground to peak, and wrap in material (socks, hats, gloves - anything to protect from piercing the tarp), at the peak, so that I can be rid of that center pole altogether, and have 3 extremely strong sides/walls. Would be real easy to add tied/notched cross braces/ribs on each wall too for additional serious strength to the walls. It would really suck to wake up in the rain/snow watching your tarp blow away in high winds.
By far the easiest and simplest explanation of how to use a tarp for shelter that I've come across. Great for someone totally inexperienced as I am. Thank you.

The man is definitely not brain dead !
He does an excellent job of making a video WITHOUT UNGODLY MUSIC !
Thanks for the view and comment!
How much I agree with you, so much great camera work on TH-cam is ruined by the enthusiastic belief that the cameraman can do it all, shoot, direct, select the right music and edit etc, and only gets one of them right. When it's even less musical than a vanload of grand pianos falling down the stairs it does make one wonder what's going on in the head of a videographer surrounded by natural beauty, that they feel the compulsion to add pulsating clangerous noise. So another well done for excluding it.
Looked at couple dozen explanations on how to do these "simple" tarp tents - and you're the first guy to actually make it understandable. Especially like that you take your time, so we can really see the steps being described, rather than rushing through them. And I like your recap at the end. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
agree, now i hopefully remember it. shall try it in the forest in a couple of days.
Yeah, I've been trying to learn how to do this setup for a couple years now but this is the simplest explanation I've ever seen.
koleale agreed
And he does it fast AND simply, other guys wants ti show that they know everything about buschcraft and only makes their explications long and boring.
Maybe by putting 6 inches or so of paracord on the tie-down loops you could raise the tarp 4-5 inches off the ground providing ventilation for warmer weather. An adjustable trekking pole would be ideal for a center pole.
Yes... not much breathing room in the set up shown. Thanks for watching and commenting !
Straight to the point. Super simple and efficient. A Minimalist approach. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
I'm 53 years old and just learned something new. Thanks for this video. Looks like a great way to get out of a sudden rain shower.
Interestingly, I just did a vid on this shelter during rain. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dude, you rock... Not only good information... But quick and concise. My kids are going to love this!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Man do you know how long ive been looking for a simple tent build... for like 10 hrs now. thank yo uso much!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You have just saved me 100 ponds on a Tepee the simplest and best set up ive seen just when i was thinking it was a
shame you cant use it with an opening you pulled the front back and you have an open cover for meal times excellent
Awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I especially like the fast set up. Often I am going until it is too late, and I find it getting dark or getting ready to rain. Putting me in a push come shove situation. That's why I like the fast set up, get me inside and dry quick.
Yep. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video for a very nice, simple tarp setup. No crappy music, no excessive jabber, just the facts and the visual. This is my new go-to tarp
setup in cooler weather, higher winds. Even I will remember how to set this one up. Thanks!!
Yeah, its easy and awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Been a tarp shelter camper backpacker for 20+ yrs. Used what I thought was every conceivable set up, till I saw this!
Simplicity and function at its best. Well done and thanks for posting.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I like how you can flip the top up! A mosquito net over the whole thing would make ventilation work. As far as ground water, a ground tarp under the teepee with previously attached velcro put in the right places on the outside of the teepee and the ground tarp, could possible let you pull the bottom ground tarp up to the velcro sides of the teepee before you got into it. Of course this would all have to be done ahead of time to place everything correctly for the next use. As far as weight goes, another tarp would make your pack heavier so I would use a light weight plastic sheeting or a very light weight water proof nylon tarp.
Thank you for the instruction. I got stranded in 2012xafter an eviction and problems at the Tacoma Rescue Mission with gang assaults and thefts. It was very harsh treatment that I got. I am in Reno now, and I've figured out how to get along better with neighbors, and I hear about these demonstrations that turn into riots. I was lucky to survive. I simply fought being assaulted for 7 years off and on, then took a bus out of town. I understood your video tonight, and am I have the tarp and pole but can use wood stakes in soft ground to just set up the shelter by a little lake for fun.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have never tried the pyramid setup . Nice and quick and simple with plenty of possible functions . This gave me an idea for a hunting blind using an inexpensive camo poly tarp . I could pre cut roll down windows and add thin black mesh and skeeter netting . I would have a 360 degree vision and it would we light weight. guess what , I'm gonna do it . I could make a hunting blind for say maybe 20 bucks that would weigh 2lbs or less . Thanks for the video , good no nonsense information . Double thumbs up and a hand salute from a vet .
I mean this is the smartest thing I've seen on the internet!
Ha. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This tarp configuration pretty much makes tent camping superfluous. Not only saves in weight, but in time. Hard to beat.
Thanks for the view and comment!
This one video is worth the 20+ thousand subs. Excellent job
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This chap is a tarp genius - I've never really considered using one, but he's just blown my mind with how versatile that little square of fabric can be. Great video - absolutely no BS: just packed full of real-world, practical tips. I'm off to steal my mum's table-cloth...
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Now if we could only figure out how to pre attach a permanent bottom.
@@capman911 Four letters: T E N T :-)
Don't need a bottom, or a small tarp / Pancho will do
Great design; quick, secure, minimal stakes, no guy lines. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Outstanding. Quick ,set up, under Cover out of Wind & Wet, and in Summer wind Rain a Candle would warm that up nicely.
Best tarp tutorial on TH-cam- worth a sub for this alone, thanks for sharing 👍🏻👏🏻
I saw this video, years back and this is the tarp setup that I have in my GHB. it's easy, quick and there is not much to it... Thanks.
Thanks for the view and comment!
On the pole in center, a tennis ball cut with a slot to fit on top of pole will also work well to keep tarp from puncture or abrasion . Good explanation on your video.
Thanks for the view and comment!
TH-cam is rubbish, I’ve been watching bushcraft videos for years, and over the past two, lots of tarp videos, but it’s only just recommended your channel. Brilliant video, clear and concise and no bs or gimmicks.
Thanks for the view and comment!
This is the best, most simple and practical tarp set up I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for sharing ✌️
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Best tarp shelter on youtube
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Seriously, this looks great, and I wish I had seen this video before that weekend as I would have tried it, but as most tarps, like mine, are rectangle, not square, how will that effect the design and ease of set up?
@@g7vgg that’s why I always by 10x10 tarps or 3mx3m
100%
@@g7vgg D&D tarp 3x3
To make it a little more bearable, instead of staking the two front corners together, spread the corners out about two feet and stake them seperately. You can take the top flap with a guy line to a stick then stake it out and have a little fire in front or it can be a make shift teepee with a solo stove and not have to worry about smoke inhalation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Great video. Btw to get your pole just right, measure it at home against your chest before you go out into the field. I'm 6'4" and it fits right at my xiphoid process. And i made a hole in a tennis ball and put the end of the pole in the hole. Great instructional video and God bless.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Tennis ball ! Brilliant! The genius of simplicity.
I really like your tennis ball idea, I'm definitely trying that
A helmet or a boot on the pole
Watched the vid and came to suggest a tennis ball cut in half.
Out of All the videos I've seen on here about making a shelter from a tarp, this was the most easiest one to follow along and that actually works.
Thanks for the view and comment!
@@SurvivalTheory You're Welcome and hope you have a Blessed Day my friend
Ive used this shelter in 20 degree weather. It was probably 60 in there. All my buddies froze thier butts off in their tents while i was toasty.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!
Absolutely the most simple and best tarp tent I have ever seen. Wonderful!!!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
exactly!! I want to get into camping witout having to buy an actual tent. would much rather jus learn from a tarp and make a tent my own way. this has to be the easiest one ive found
Awesome video. Very clear and easy to understand. I use my telescoping hiking stick for center. It has rounded cork handle works grest
Thanks for the view and comment!
Adding a like and a comment to help the channel.
I like this tarp config.
I use a 4m X 3m so i can fold under and get half a groundsheet.
Plus if you use two walking poles as an A frame, you can lie directly center.
Great video, love the speed, simplicity, and utility of this creation.
Fantastic!
After i watched this i took my tarp, hiking pole, closed cell foam sleeping pad and a sleeping bag when hiking. Saved alot of weight and slept like a child. The trekking pole served as my center pole. Worked like a charm. Thank you for sharing this. I now feel like my tent is just bulk.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That's downright clever.
A smaller tarp could be used as a floor. It wouldn't need to be very big, just enough to cover the triangle shape. Maybe just have 4 inches of extra tarp to lay against the sides on the inside to keep out water and bugs.
Excellent. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was just thinking that. It wouldn't add too much complexity and it would give you a clean floor to lay a mat/sleeping bag on.
@Gary Dodgson Was that Lonnie from Far North bushcraft and survival? The small stone reminded me of that video.
Best tarp setup I have seen. Fast setup, and probably pretty wind resistant which I intend to find out. You can even put your pack down and set the tarp up with it being inside when you're done setting it up.
Yes to all. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great vid , simple and elegant , just what newcomers to tarps need , be well my friend.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Finally! A tarp setup video I can follow.
This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing.... I thought I was fully conversant in shelter builds using a tarp! You made this way more easier to understand than other "how to" uploads. Thanks for sharing ATB
Attempted my first pyramid shelter last weekend in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, after checking-out several other YT vids - wish I had seen this one as my pyramid was more of an abstract art piece! Luckily there was no rain or wind that night! This vid is the best one I've seen - within one minute of watching it you can get a shelter up with ease. Many thanks from the UK!
Thanks for the view and comment!
Thumbs up when I saw the dog come in to investigate.
Thanks for the view and comment!
Great idea! Quick and simple to put up.Out in the open if overtaken by rain, this to me, is the best and only way to go.
Thanks for the view and comment!
Seeing your White Boxer brought me sweet memories of my own bet pup ever, Charlie Dog. Thanks for this wonderful walkthrough also on the shelter.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Smart.... All round cover..... Less weight to carry..... Tarp oragamy...simple fast cover👍👍

Thanks for showing me how to do that That's the coolest way to make a tent from a tarp your genius That's genius
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice explanation , easy to understand , this is the basic quick stay dry and out of the wind tent. Thank you.
4:21 A fascinating scene of how a thru-hike backpacker born into this world.
Just kidding, I'll definitely try making my own tarp tent from your tips. Thank you, Sir.
Ha. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes I thought the same thing, (Proto germanic word) TENT love the video !
For setting up in the rain or a fast approaching storm I cant think of a better tarp pitch or tent that could beat this one....thanks for a great video...!!
Just found this video. What an awesome demonstration on how to set up this configuration. Cant wait to give this a go 👍🏻
Thanks for the view and comment!
This is still the best idea I have seen. On the open position, I could still have a fire without a guideline rope in the way. Will use this for my next night camp with the horses.
This is the most by far more practical tent, I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing with us your tips to set up a shelter for rainy or windy days or nights
This is the best tarp shelter I've seen.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like this a lot. I'm impressed with how quickly you threw it up. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like it, simple and very secure. Probably the best protection available from a simple tarp. Also looks like with separating the two joined corners you could adjust heat retention as needed for different weather conditions. Love it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I always use this and I've used it in the rain and cold wintery winds. Keeps the elements out and keeps you warm and there lots of space in there for your gear. It's defo something il be using in the future if needed. Always look after your tarps guys
Thanks for the view and comment!
cool. that is what we need for our motor cycle holiday to keep all our riding gear dry and outside our small tent.
R U a magician? 👍 Setting up a tent in seconds. Impressed
Thanks for the view and comment!
I came back and watched this again for the third time. Wish I could give you another like. Going to go with a 12 by 12. 2 people and my dog. Also a larger door to make a super shelter.
Awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting, again!
The best tarp tent I have seen, yet.
Thanks for the view and comment!
Finally!! a quick and easy set up that I actually think I can do!

That took all of two minutes to set up. Doesn't get much simpler or quicker for an effective little tarp tent than that. Thanks for sharing.

What a 👍great way to make shelter with a tarp ! many thanks for showing us !!!
Wow! I love it I’m trying this in the morning with my tarp. Thanks best I’ve seen so far. Thank you for posting this.
I've researched tarp setups, this my friend is the best yet, thanks for making it easy.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam.
Best Fastpitch protection I've ever seen!! Using an adjustable hiking pole to set the peak would be ideal. For ventilation add rope to a corner and steak it further out would create more airflow. How Excellent! Thank you

I am physicaly not able to go back packing any more but I can use this method to demonstrate to the young men in our church group thank you
Thank you for the watch and words!
Oh, wow man that's dope. I would have never thought about all that stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Dont comment ever but i have to say what a fantastic video clear instructions and good demo.
Thanks for the view and comment!
great set up. in scotland we tend to get short notice for a downpour, so this is ideal. By the way, you were in the "tent" in less than 3 Minutes! Keep up the great stuff. Stay safe.
Thank you for watching and commenting! This is one of the fastest weather resistant set-ups that I know. I hope to do a video soon on setting this up during the rain, without getting wet.
This was an awesome video! As a new "tarp-tenter", I've been looking at every video in the world, to find one easy enough, yet effective enough, for me to make. This video was not only the best answer to my question, but I can see this as a first time tarp structure for anyone who wants to begin using tarps to construct their sleeping quarters. This is a "must know" structure for anyone new to tarps. You totally deserve my subscription, and the all notifications bell to be hit, thanks for the video, it's great!
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Fantastic! I always wondered how to set up a 10x10 in this fashion. I had a thought, for those who would be concerned about a center pole taking up valuable floor space, find and cut to length 2 sticks, and stick the ends in the included bag and cinch up the draw cord, making a bipod to support the peak of the tent
UNCLEDOUG HERE LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY !! NICE JOB DAD !!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes sir, you sure made this easy to understand and it's much appreciated.
Great informative video. What I like about this type of shelter is the way the door is very secure and it's very simple to build. Like all tarp shelters there always are drawbacks to each method. If I'm going sleeping on the ground, I prefer to have a floor, but if I'm using a hammock, I don't need a floor but I have to be able to run the hammock straps out each end of the shelter. Like you say, this shelter is best for colder weather, and there are ways of keeping the ground dry even without a floor.

How did it go?
@@discipleaj Have you noticed how cheap tarps are never 10 x 10? Looking for the right tarp among my cheapies. Just like knives it is better to buy a few good ones than have all these cheapie tarps.
Compliments for your video. Very simple and easy to understand. This year I ll sleep in my 3 x 3 tarp instead of my tent. Thanks.👍
a great tutorial finally !
