Thank you so much for teaching all these various setups. I am in the UK and managed to get a UK army tarp from a house clearance auction for just £1. I am a home educating Mum, and my daughter and I love learning all these types of things. We are going to try these setups out in our garden.
We keep a DD tarp in all of our vehicle emergency kits.... me, the wife, and our adult children. We all agree that the Tarp Tent use is the best choice for this. All the out points have been painted orange so there isn't any confusion. We all use a tyvec ground cloth that we made to fit. The best emergency shelter that we could come up with if we had to leave the vehicles. Thanks for the video.... gives us alternatives if need be. God bless brother. Always love the content. Don't stop what you're doing.
Tyvek makes a great ground cover used it when I hiked the JMT.
🤠
Well done, the way you modified it to suit the moment was cool.
The best video I have seen for tarp set up.
Awesome video.
thanks for watching! 👍
Ode to Kenny’s rifles. Like it.
Your vidga skills keep getting better and better... keepem coming!
Nice video. I love seeing how people all over the world are doing these vids on tarps, and all have a little extra tweak, unique to their own experience. Using a ridge line to suspend the tarp tent shape is less common here, but great! I use the DD 3x3 a lot and when canoeing, I like to set up as a tent shape. I use both paddles to create a strong and simple 'A' frame. Basically, turn the tarp bag inside out so the coating provides a little extra grip and friction on the inside of the tarp, and it helps protect it. Pop the inside out bag over the top of the handles of your paddles, pull the draw string tight and tie it around with the cord. Then, inside the tarp tent, place the handles into the area of that first reinforced tie out, which is on top, and spread them out to the sides. The blades of each paddle lie flat to the sides and there is loads of space inside the shelter to rest up or sleep, cook on a small stove etc. If you are in the woods, you can do the same with two cut poles, but remember to chamfer the top of each and pad them inside the tarp bag with a spare hat, glove, sock, scarf, cloth etc... or, again, use two trekking poles to create that 'A' frame. Happy tarping folks!!
👍
Been jonesing for another video currin
Oh yes... I remember camping in a good old A-frame back in the boy scouts. Sturdy and reliable. If it got really really rainy we just dug up some small trenches around it to help drain the water from the frame and problem solved. Cool vid.
I like the X Files touches.😂..great video...got me a 3 x 3 Aquaquest defender tarp recently...real strong and real cool..Cheers!!
thanks for watching🙌
That is a great demonstration of shelter with a tarp! Well explained and generally awesome presentation.
The Utini shelter!
I don’t camp often but I favour the Adirondack using my 3.5x3.5 tarp, I can easily get a raised stretched type bed under.
Thanks for the compilation video!
Our pleasure!
Use them on all my adventures months in a row. Always nice as you never know how you have to set it up end of the day. Coyote brown is my favourite as it blends in nice with snow and desert and everything in between.
On the four corners I use some bungee cord this will save your tarp in heavier weather.
Nice demonstration of different setups! Not too long but long enough to show them well! I've been in the mountains and rain was pouring and no flat ground around and then at night the wind really picked up! It was hard to setup because of the rocks everywhere and me stressing about trying to set it up quickly but in the end the A-frame served me well, but I had to close the flaps on both ends in order to not feel too cold from the flowing wind too! It served its purpose but wasn't the best night sleep! And it got still wet inside from the condensation, meaning, the cloud passing through the tarp. Definitely didn't look as well setup as the A-frame in this video!
Can't wait to get mine out and try some of these with the kids this summer!! Love all the different versions and the instructions!! Thanks for making and sharing!! Been keeping mine in the Jeep just incase...
Dziękuję za ten film. Bardzo dobrze zrobiony :)
Good information very helpful 👍👌
Great job brother GOD bless and Semper Fi
Awesome video! I'm a huge fan of tarps. Subscribed!
Thanks for the demo, but it's the beard that really shines 😂. Awesome. I would like to see these performing in really windy conditions sometime. The plow point looks great but those massive sides seem like a potential problem... I've struggled with tarps in windy conditions and generally failed 😢.
Good video & demo ! THANKS ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Have to agree with keeping a tarp (at least one) handy for various uses. I own quite a few and have several set up with ridgelines and tie offs so a simple "A" frame can be set up in minutes if the weather catches you by surprise. If camping, I usually carry 3 because modern camping tarps of various sizes/configurations are quite light and can be used for many things and well, if you have a questionable tent/hammock or one you don't fully trust in bad weather, a good tarp can save your outing and be a fallback in case something unforeseen happens.
Best video on this topic.
Thanks! 💪
3x3 tarps are sometimes not as good as like 3.5... as most hammocks are longer andnexposed to rain. I prefer 3.5 tarps... Yeah it needs more scoutingnfor the right place. But jey the compfort is insane. Also if you make fire, the tarp will suffer, maybe more far away and use a reflexion wall for pushing heat into the tarp area. Thanks for making this video, I really appreciate man.
Do you do your own editing? It sneaks up on you, kinda stealth mode getting better and better as the video progresses 💪🏼 The music effects are fun too.
Clay dirt, shovel, rocks and water are all you need for a simple fireplace you can build for your plowpoint. Even a simple rock, dirt cover over a dakota firepit will work...
0:45 the very first setup is my favorite setup. However, i lift mine about a foot off the ground. Why? Because I like to see everything around us.
I use the DD super light camo design.
ahahaha the fookin donkey XD
That hammocks got me havin ideas, i wonder how much weight it holds, mans does look swole...
You really need to research to find one to fit your needs. Myself, I went with quality and got one that has spreader poles because I like to sleep mostly flat and most of the usual hammocks you have to be reclined at a diagonal in them, which didn't work for me. I've had 3 hammocks in my life, first and last used spreader poles and the 2nd was a diagonal style which I only used once and disliked it immediately.
I'm surprised there's not a link to the products he's using. 😕
What is the tarp? Brand? Model?
DD tarp 3x3 from DD Hammocks
Thank you, DD Hammocks
@Battlbox thank you also for the quick response on Christmas Day 2023!
👍
Adirondack is a total waste of time. So much tying and fixing and at the end you don't have nothing.
Outfrickin’standing content Brotha…..just bought some DD Tarps for every member of the family, and gonna use your examples and set ups for our next camping trip 😎🙏👍⛺️⛺️thanks for posting👍
All good, Thanks for sharing tom! 🙌
