What a concise set of instructions from a gentle human. I get very good vibes. Im going camping this weekend and i want to have a rugged DIY experience. Thanks for this video.
I been using a tarp in this manner a long time I use a slightly different method But the outcome is the same I also ad some tie lines to the sides gathering up a plastic bag and looping the rope over gives it a chipmunk cheeks and gives some additional room inside I also come up the spine about 5 feet and add a line to give it a small amount of headroom for when reclined Good job
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video! This was the most convenient and roomy tarp tent for me. I camped outdoors for the first time and set up was so easy!
So, if you're ever in a survival situation, make sure you're carrying a nail. :) There are a lot of different videos out there showing various ways to make shelters quickly and (mostly) easily with a tarp. Lots of options. I think I'd prefer some of the other options that end up being a little smaller, but have a better weather seal. That big door held closed by a couple of ties would be great in warm weather, but not in the cold or wind.
I like the fact that the pole is at the entrance, instead of in the middle of the tarp. Guess I'll buy 12×16 and try this next camping trip, and just use my 10×10 as a ground cover. Thanks👍
great video. this is exactly I was looking for, to do a backyard camp tent. I see like 30 people say dislike -- i don't get what could be really wrong.
Well there are weaknesses to this design . A three sided pyramid with a floor made from a single rectangular tarp means you end up with a structure that’s impractically high for the square footage of floor space provided and that square footage isn’t laid out in the best way to both be sheltered from bad weather and get some rest, but that’s not so much the fault of the design but just the simple reality of expecting too much from a single piece of fabric and a single support structure. You’re trying to protect your self from the elements (mostly wind and wet) and the best protection from that is to place yourself to as many folds and as few junctions as possible (junction being where edges or corners meet and there is a gap (no matter how small) where wind and wet can get in) but in a tarp tent these folds are general acute angles from at the lease on of three planes and that means they are in the part of the tent that either got low clearance , bends the body into an angle, usually both
Actually there is only a small triangle of floor that is left uncovered at the front. If you stow your gear on one side and put your sleeping bag on the other you will stay dry. I have spent many a rainy night in this tent with no problems. Thanks for the comment.
Instead of pulling each side of the door out and tying it you can Velcro each piece of the door so when you are inside or if it’s raining you can Velcro the door shut
Using a tarp that is 12'x16' the tent is 8' tall by 8' wide in the front and the distance from the front corners is 11'4" approximately. There is ample room for 2 people and lots of gear. The part of the floor that is covered by tarp is 37 square feet, with an additional triangle of about 8 square feet of ground inside the tent but not covered on the ground. The uncovered area lets air into the tent.
It depends on the size of the tarp you use. You can make a miniature version of the tent by folding a piece of 8.5 x 11 paper in the shape of the tent and calculate the size using ratios. Hope that helps.
Richard Pethel This is the best idea out there yet. What he did was, staked the back of the tent, at the fold, then moved to the front of the fold, to set the post. After that, the two back corners are pulled in to create the floor. He just didn't show it, and went to the two front corners. Great idea it is. I would use two poles tied together at the top. Pull them out to the front corners, could still tie the tarp door closed, but have larger door, or open the front fly to the poles. Great idea!
Richard Pethel Lol, for that matter, when you attached the front of the tarp yo a tree, you could run one end of the rope down to the back stake. Would make it a little stronger for rain or snow.
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.

This is about as inexpensive as it can get. Making geometry work at its best. Awesome
I been using a tarp in this manner a long time
I use a slightly different method
But the outcome is the same
I also ad some tie lines to the sides gathering up a plastic bag and looping the rope over gives it a chipmunk cheeks and gives some additional room inside
I also come up the spine about 5 feet and add a line to give it a small amount of headroom for when reclined
Good job
I'll be darned. Thats the most clever way I've seen someone use a single tarp for shelter
A set up like this will stand out and look badass in camping grounds! Mind people sneer at ya.
Gentle teacher. Nice tent. Enjoyed.
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video! This was the most convenient and roomy tarp tent for me. I camped outdoors for the first time and set up was so easy!
One of the better Tarp Shelters Bob. Well done.
Damn thats a nice setup got to go get me a new tarp now
WWWAAAOOO..you guys are VERRY cool ..may the LORD BLESS YOU..THAT IS THE BEST CHEEPEST AN QUICK TENT BILD I'LL BE EVER SEEN..YOUU GUYS ROOCK
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. I have a 10x16 canvas tarp that should work good with this set up. Thank you!!
Best tarp tent setup I've seen yet.
Thanks for your smart and kind instruction. It will inspire my next configuration but with lighter and more convenient materials.

Brilliant! A tarp tent you can stand up in!
great video thank you, just one question how would you make a tent with out the ground sheet floor so the tent bigger on the inside
Thank you very much for watching??
We thank you very much for sharing. This very helpful.
You'r a real nice person 😊🙏

Thanks, Bob, you're a lifesaver.
This is awesome... thank you so much for posting this!
Absolutely simple, effective and inovative. Thank you. This gives me a great alternative to backpack camping!
Great Video. Shjort , sharp and to the point. Thanks for sharing. ATB

Easy and clear, great visual aid, Thank you.

Awesome, I learnt another setup. Thanks for the video
Thank you for your video...quik and easy survival shelter.
Exactly what I was looking for. And legendary mustache, by the way.
That’s an awesome setup!!!
Excellent tent! You could easily sew a zipper along that opening too and make a tent you could close 👍
Thanks, I'll try that next time I'm out!
I love it very much thanks for your simple doing
Wow bless you sir and your glorious moustache
Cool video! Do you think Teton XXL Cot could fit inside that set up? I think the cot is about 7ft long and 3.5ft wide.
Most likely.
Im using metric system aa being swede. But i guess 12 x 16 feet is about 3.66 m × 4.89 meters.
Would this size be able to squeese in 2 persons ?
It can certainly be done- it is a close fit.
Watched all of it, great video thanks
This is very useful. Will try it. A bit concerned on the floor if it rains. Will need some kind ground sheet i guess. Great video!!
Actually there is only a small triangle of floor that is left uncovered at the front. If you stow your gear on one side and put your sleeping bag on the other you will stay dry. I have spent many a rainy night in this tent with no problems. Thanks for the comment.
Great video. Easy and cheap.
What's the best tarp tent that I've seen.
Very nice. Thank you. Love from Canada
Good job Bob! All I need is a twin to help me set up!
Best I've seen, yet.
Amazing video. Loved it
Thanks Bob. Very handy!
saved hundreds of dollar, Thank you sir
Good, very good indeed! Congratulations and thank you for class.
I’m thinking that a smaller version of this could be done with a 10x12 tarp. Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome, thanks. Would it be feasible to put a fire in front of the door or will that burn away the rope? If so, how could I get around that?
Sorry to answer so late. You can tie the pole off to a tree or use two stakes set at angles to the front of the tent.
Use 7' pole for more room inside
Instead of pulling each side of the door out and tying it you can Velcro each piece of the door so when you are inside or if it’s raining you can Velcro the door shut
Thanks will be using this set up a lot.
Do you stake both ends of the back ?
tq, very simple...u r a good teacher...👍
Excelentísimo! Justo lo que necesito para dentro de poco pasar unas noches en las montañas aqui en Córdoba, Argentina
Graciad
Gracias por tu comentario.
Awesome knowledge... Thank you
love this!
My granddaughter and I make this shelter when she visits.
This is freakin awesome good stuff
You’re the man!
Awesome! Thank you heaps!
He has a castle in the back yard. Can tell me the earth is a banana and I’ll believe it
Ha! Kewl!
Although I'm kinda torn.
It's good to know how to do but hard to imagine the day you really need it to be a pleasant day hehe! :D
nice geometry origami
1+1=2
and thats how you get 7 and a half
brilliant!!!
Saved and shared
Nice video Bob thanks for sharing
Always bring 2 tarps. One for the tent, one on the ground or both for a big tent.
Tent with one, flysheet with the other for extra protection.
Nice video, very easy setup.

That really neat!!
What are the approximate measurements of the tent standing with the 12x16 tarp?
Using a tarp that is 12'x16' the tent is 8' tall by 8' wide in the front and the distance from the front corners is 11'4" approximately. There is ample room for 2 people and lots of gear. The part of the floor that is covered by tarp is 37 square feet, with an additional triangle of about 8 square feet of ground inside the tent but not covered on the ground. The uncovered area lets air into the tent.
@@robertberg588 thank you
great vid great setup
nice, thanks
Well done!
I like the idea need blue print
floor is the half that is folded under ?
the floor is made from the two back corners folded under the tent.
Great info and presentation. Thanks.
Thank you for watching.

"Who rang that bell!"
Thank you sir
Hello, could you tell me what are the floor dimensions once the tent is up?
It depends on the size of the tarp you use. You can make a miniature version of the tent by folding a piece of 8.5 x 11 paper in the shape of the tent and calculate the size using ratios. Hope that helps.
Thanks for being interested.
Nice tent
Wouldn't it tear up the cloth
Love that!
Thanks Bob. Nice vid.
Thanks man.
That’s perfect!
Nice Thank you
Thanks, but you went too fast with both the paper and the tarp to see how you folded it to create the bottom. :/
Very useful. Thanks.
Decent 👍
That is a two-person job, there is a much easier way that one person can do it.
It was nice someone volunteered to help! It is often a one person job!
Very good 👍
Love it. Great idea
Too bad you didn't bring the camera inside the thing that show us what's inside
I think you skipped a step in the video editing. Didn't see how you made the floor. What is the sq ft of the interior?
I agree, the most important step in folding the paper was cut out.
Richard Pethel
This is the best idea out there yet. What he did was, staked the back of the tent, at the fold, then moved to the front of the fold, to set the post. After that, the two back corners are pulled in to create the floor. He just didn't show it, and went to the two front corners. Great idea it is. I would use two poles tied together at the top. Pull them out to the front corners, could still tie the tarp door closed, but have larger door, or open the front fly to the poles. Great idea!
Richard Pethel
Also, if in a hurry, you could attach the top front up on a tree, and go from there.
Richard Pethel
Lol, for that matter, when you attached the front of the tarp yo a tree, you could run one end of the rope down to the back stake. Would make it a little stronger for rain or snow.
thank YOU

I'll pass. Might want to work on your neediness.
cool
nice...
I want one of those too, but slavery is illegal now
Think am going to grow my beard as him lol
