when you are using a cut limb to hold tent up carry a tennis ball cut and put over end of stick and will not tear the top of tent. if stick will ever be on bottom of tent floor have the tennis ball cut in half then you have 2 pieces and will have for both ends of stick. also could carry a couple small pieces of a foam sponge to place on ends of sticks then no worry of tears either
Cool Jacko. Taking it further than I did. Great interior space. Looking forward to try these out in some real nasty weather.

Well, I wouldn't have known about this setup if it wasn't for you. I still haven't used it overnight.
-Jacko
Thanks, Muddy! I've had this tarp on the Appalachian Trail a few times, but mine hung in the trees. I've been wanting a step-by-step instructional video on this. You nailed it.
Thank you for watching, it’s nice to read a nice comment for this video from time to time.
-Jacko
Haters gonna hate. Everybody's a critic. Keep 'em coming.
great setup! I was going to do a video on this coming up too! Thanks for showing your setup :)
Nice set up Jacko , really like the options with that tarp !

I have a 10×10 tarp so i have been wanting to try and find different ways of making shelters so when my children and go camping and this is by far my favorite so I don't have to lug around a heavy tent. And not only that but I love teaching my kids (10, 9 and 4) different survival skills. And I think this will be very hand game fun. Thank you and I'm looking forward to your next video
+Dana Backus
Thank you Dana Malays very nice to see people teaching the next generations about nature and enjoying it.
-Jacko
I think they are just as passionate about it as i am
Cool Concept, thanks for sharing.
I'm a fan of the tarp tent configuration. I use the DD Hammocks 3x3 Tarp for this. I set my trekking pole to about 1.2m and that has the effect of creating greater headroom and narrowing the overall profile. I'll also use a second pole to the rear of the inner set around 0.6m to lift the rear inside and give a bit more use able space under the tarp.
put your baseball cap on top of that branch of tree....to protect your tarp.or put/use your tea/coffee cup....good protection for your tarp
Dude, I have watched this video several times over the last year plus. I have watched other content creators try to explain the same setup. By far, your explanation is the best. You nailed it with this video.
FANTASTIC information!! Great setup!!
Armed Rogue
Thank you!
-Jacko
Vary Nice, Ruff start but all came together
Thanks for showing how to set this configuration up Jacko :) I'll definitely be trying this sometime with my Snugpak tarp. I wish Snugpak had included tie outs on the traditional A-frame ridge line points rather than on just the diamond shape configuration...I might try to add some to mine sometime. But then again using a smooth rock is not that difficult hehe. Looks like the rain has let up for you guys down there (other than the little shower in the video lol ). Hope all is well on your end. Thanks for sharing! -Lochlainn

Yea, adding an attachment point with a small object under the tarp is pretty easy and a very secure fit. It doesn't damage or stretch the tarp like we were talking. The rain did let up but we're about to have some more for the rest of the week. It's supposed to be a series of heavy t-storms...
Thanks for watching man!
-Jacko
Excellent job especially with that wind. A very spacious shelter. Appreciate the time you put into it. atb Opal
+Opal Preston Shirley
Thank you Opal. The wind certainly made it more fun :)
-Jacko
Thank you for the information. Very helpful. Corinne (Australia)
Thank you for watching Corinne!
-Jacko
Excellent presentation 👍
Nice no tree tarp set up! Something we all gotta try if with want! Maybe instead of a cloth or something like that maybe you can cover the rough edges of the stock with duct tape if you have enough to spare!
Jason McDaniel
Yea, as far as the supporting post a trekking pole would work best because most of them don't have many rough edges around the grip and a lot of them are expandable. Duck tape would work but I'd be harder to re use. Thanks for watching man!
-Jacko
Super cool setup. Tarp origami!
MI Timberwookie lol!
Good demonstration, for the set up.
Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Good video. Im new to the cannel. What kind of tarp are you using and who makes your backpack/
Hello and welcome aboard! The tarp is a Snugpak all weather shelter, heck of a tarp for the money. Here's a little review that I made: th-cam.com/video/JcyRDaBNSZE/w-d-xo.html
The pack is a Karrimor SF Sabre 45, it's made in England and it's my favorite pack, here's a review a made about it as well: th-cam.com/video/Kj9NKjZHX2I/w-d-xo.html
I hope this helps and thank you for watching!
-Jacko
nice!!
thanx for sharing the idea.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Thanks. Seems simple enough.
I you get two long thin green saplings/branches (like willow) and have a tarp with grommets you can weave them both through the grommets, stake the ends down and lash the skinny ends together kind of like a half hoop, and use one or two sturdier branches or saplings on the sides or middle to hold the hoop up, (even a tripod set up) and stake the ends down and you have a decent tarp shelter without trees as well.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Jeb & Joe Outdoors
Thank you. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

The wind was great. I'm interested, in how to set something up, in a storm. Thats when, your life depends on it.
Is a 10x10 big enough, to get a good sitting height for two? And still be weather proof?
" Easy"he says lol
Maybe if I was a bit younger I would have caught on to that faster but I'm going to have to watch this a couple times lol
Nice set up, I am going to give this a try, thanks for sharing. .atb-Brody
*****
Thanks Brody! You gotta try it. It takes a bit of finagling but once you get it it's very weather resistant. Just subbed to your new channel! Thanks for tuning in.
-Jacko
Appreciate the time it took you to make this video but in all honesty this tarp tent is a bad version of the DD 3x3 tarp tent :/
The 3x3 DD tarp tent looks a bit like yours but is easier to put together and brings the front outer flaps more inwards so you're less vulnerable for the elements :) Not blaming you, just your tent :p
His setup would be exactly the same as the DD 3x3 if his pole was taller. He couldn't make it the same due to the short stick used. But if you think about it the lower setup is more wind resistant just less headroom.
High, at the west-coast of Germany it is very windy the most time, and for using a tarp under trees to much windy also. So i frefer to use tarp-setups, what do not need trees. This is much safer. Best wishes Fiete
Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
The ideal tent position should be lateral to the wind, right?
You would want the back of the tarp into the wind. The back of the shelter is aerodynamic which allows to wind to go right over it.
Good Stuff!
lonestarrider
Thank you sir.
-Jacko
nice set up of the tarp my friend

Thank you!
-Jacko
Thank you!
-Jacko
Thank you!
-Jacko
I like it. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
great stuff Q will this set up work on beach sand thanks..
It would but you'd have to get some stones or Deep pegs to anchor the guide lines into the sand. Thanks for watching!
-Jacko
Well done my friend! The wind was fighting you something terrible for a while.
Country Prepper
Yea, I was kinda worried about the sound of the wind in the microphone but it wasn't so bad. Thanks for watching.
-Jacko
Excelentes imágenes y los temas del canal, aquí estamos en Argentina también disfrutando de la vida al aire libre con actividades varias, nos suscribimos a tu cuenta y te pusimos como canal amigo. Abrazo grande y feliz 2021!
Enjoyed your video. You need to put a leash on your tarp though. They will run off on you sometimes and you surely wouldn't want your tarp to run out into traffic.
Good idea, but would it have been better with the back into the wind?
Yes, I typically set them up that way but for purposes of the video and getting better lighting I did it this way. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
I agree. Why have the wind directed at your entrance? I'm sure you've learned this by now. Thank you for sharing.
Good video...
Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Great concept, but I would take my knife and round off the top of the pole so there is even less sharpness to rub against!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! That was an excellent demonstration! That was also the first time anyone ever dedicated a video to me on TH-cam! I truly feel special now.
Keith Fillinger
Hahaha! I'm glad you liked it and I hope it helps.
-Jacko
Yes, the video was very helpful. I appreciate it a lot. I am new at this tarp shelter stuff, and I can use all of the help I can get. i want to learn as many different set ups as I can for tarps as each has its own pros and cons. Thanks again for taking the time to put that video together!
Keith Fillinger
No problem. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. If there's something that you want to see that I haven't showed just let me know. In the meantime feel free to check any of my other videos, I have about 130!
-Jacko
I know absolutely nothing about camping and this may sound like a dumb question although I know you're not camping and this is a demonstration. Is there any particular reason you turned the front of the tent to the wind instead of the back?
Cool Set-up. I can see a good ground set-up for this.
It sure is. Just have to make sure you have a good ground sheet to protect you mattress and sleeping bag. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Why facing the wind on the entrance, is this intentional to get the rain on your head? 🤗
nice tutorial, i use hiking poles to support mine, when doing this, and i face the front away from the wind haha, thought you were going kiting at one stage haha, nice tarp by the way..if only it was camo ...sighs! cheers, dave
Colonelchimp, Bushcraft, Survival and Prepping
Yes! Camp would be my top choice... For most things...lol!
-Jacko
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Well done \
Good in case you need a lower, tighter shelter to protect you from wind and rain on a trek. thanks.
+Birgit Nazarian
Exactly! Thank you for watching.
-Jacko
you need a windsock on the mic
Richard Collette put a sock in it :D
Are you setting it facing the wind?
Great video I like that better than the kellty for sure thanks for the information atb John
+Turtle Bushcraft
Thanks, it is just a little nicer than the kelty in terms of size and color I think. Did you watch the other video about the tarp? In case you didn't here's the link: th-cam.com/video/JcyRDaBNSZE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for commenting!
-Jacko
I'm considering the kelty noah tarp 9. I've seen a couple of your videos. If you can expand more on various tarp configurations (9, 10, 12 size etc.) that would really help. TH-cam has a shortage of clear concise examples (i.e. multiple configuration examples in same video). Good looking i went ahead and subscribed, thank you!
How do you avoid getting wet when the dew seeps through the tarp fabric?
+tcar0341
Are you talking about the morning dew that would collect on top of the tarp? If that's what you mean, you don't get any seeping through the tarp. This is the Snugpak all weather shelter. It's a very waterproof and seam sealed tarp. I've had this in the rain, in the morning dew and all sorts of wet conditions and it's never leaked or any water has ever seeped through the fabric. I have a video review of this start in further detail if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/JcyRDaBNSZE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
You buy 3M silicone spray and spray it on the tarp and no worry's about seeping through the tarp
@5:35 Like they say "cover your stick when practicing safe tarp".
very cool setup dude
+Joshuah “Wildman” Moran
Thanks man
-Jacko
nice setup appreciate the info and a few less things to worry about, like finding a suitable ridge line and widow makers crushing your head.) thanks again.
+Irving BigDady Eskenazi
Not only that but this setup would be great for setting camp up in a prairie or in a desertic area. Thanks for tuning in!
-Jacko
Thank you for this video... You rock sir!
Daniel509476
No prob. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Why did you choose to position the tent that way? Did you want air conditioning? Were you constructing a shower stall, because it is gonna be wet in there if it rains? A longer, pointy stick, stuck in the ground would work better. I see some longer sticks in that small forest behind your "tent". " Way of a" is not a quantity.
Ill just use my tent !
The front flaps are not right... the entrance is facing the wind... The rain will come in...I would not like to sleep in that tarp...
I understand but I made this just for purposes of the video. Of course it's against the wind is not as tight as it needs to be but I just wanted to make a quick video showing this type of set up. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
that is easy to fix, just reverse the opening, and the front flaps look fine
Reversing the opening would basically be starting from scratch and resetting the whole tarp
this is very nice but kind of complicated setup probably need to get used to it
+maisetas
It's not for beginners but a nice setup for sure. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Were you at all prepared? lol Glad to see you giving content creating a go but... this wasn't a great endeavor by a long shot.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
+Raymond Lesher
Hey Raymond, thank you for watching!
-Jacko
Great set-up, especially for tough weather conditions! Cheers, Marc

Thanks Marc, the wind was kicking my butt... Lol!
-Jacko
Don't pull out your tarp until you have a couple stakes in your hand.
you could also have used the empty tarp bag as your pole padding
+Mike Carrington
Indeed, I'm just a little hesitant because I don't want to potentially rip it. That branch was hardwood and rough so I rather use a thicker material. Thank you for watching Mike.
-Jacko
GOOD VIDEO
Unfortunate you faced the entrance into the wind, versus the foot box is to be put into the wind.
I know, this was just a quick demonstration on how I set up this configuration. Thank you for watching
-Jacko
th-cam.com/video/k9ayvKXhVUg/w-d-xo.html
New one this here. Haven't seen this before I think.
It looks real sturdy like !
The low setup probably makes it nice and solid during heavy wind.
ImTheFlyWhiteGuy
Hey man. Yea, it's a very nice setup, quite weather proof but somewhat of a pain to get it just right. Thank you for commenting!
-Jacko
WELL GOOD IDEA...JUST THE WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE 4-5'X BIGGER/ESPECIALLY TALLER.SO U COULD HAVE SMALL FIRE INSIDE
Surrounded by trees... how simple would it have been to find a better stick? If you have an outdoors channel it is expected that you are properly prepared before doing an instructional video.
After it's all said and done thank you for the video, you came together nicely in the end.
I'm not an expert and this is not an instructional video. This is just my version on how I do this shelter. This video was recorded in a small park in the middle of a busy suburb. I wasn't out in the wild this particular time so mu resources for stick were quite limited. I never pretend to be an expert and by no means intend this video to be for teaching purposes. It was just a quick demonstration on how I set up my tarp sometimes.
Thank you for watching.
-Jacko
I'm sorry, but your statement that this isn't an instructional video simply isn't true... 0:19 - 0:38 you say that you decided to make a video showing how to make a no-tree tarp shelter. Showing people how to do something is by definition instructional.
In the description of the video that you made says "This is just a tutorial on one of the ways to set up a tarp shelter when there are no trees available for a ridge line." A tutorial is instruction sir.
So to add to the oversight you dishonor yourself with lies and excuses. One does not need to be an expert to offer proper instruction only be informed and diligent and with a channel named
MuddyTigerOutdoors we expect you to display diligence when offering info we are to trust our lives with.
You can do better and you know it. I'm sorry I am so blunt and harsh but it's a harsh world and wilderness.
I wish you well as I wish for myself.
Ok. Have a good one

This is just a tutorial on one of the ways to set up a tarp shelter when there are no trees available for a ridge line.
I'd call that instructional.
JohnReviewer112 I read them but I wasn't replying to you... Maybe you overlooked that.
Think about using small aluminum tart/pie plate for top of post. Can be usco for cooking etc, etc.
That's a good idea, specially because they usually don't weight very much. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
is 10 x 10 in meters or in feet?
Feet.
10 meters would be around 32 feet.
Neat, do you have a way to hang a tarp without trees?
As far as being out in the wilderness goes, I have given it some thought but I couldn't figure out anything that wouldn't involve cutting substantial size branches to make two tripods and be stable enough to support the weight of a person in a hammock. And of course, cutting such limbs for the tripod would imply that there are good-sized trees in the surrounding area, making the whole idea of hanging a hammock without a tree kind of pointless. From what I understand, hammocks are designed to be attached to two fixed points elevated enough to suspend a person on the Hammock so it's kind of difficult to think of anything that would replace a tree for that purpose. Thank you for watching!
-Jacko
DOOOD!
Sorry meant to say Hammock without trees.
"a shamog"??
American narrated nature film..... 'macaque' monkeys suddenly become "Ma cock" 🤣😖😂👏👏
Tennis ball with a cut hole for the stick.
Bye!!
Sounds like you did not come totally prepared for your tutorial
Is called chaffing gear......self explanatory.....
You lost me from get! You put the entrance directly in the wind! I get it ! It is just tutorial. But stoke me please
You do realize that it’s a demonstration of how ho form/build this tarp configuration right? And not a video on what is the most suitable orientation of a shelter?
-Jacko
Not to be a downer Debby but you dropped the ball hugely right off the bat. You NEVER set your tarp up with the open side facing the wind. You want the wind to roll over the top and not balloon your shelter with cold air. Other than that I did find it instructional. Thanks
To low.
Buildings look foreign, but you're wearing UAs so you gotta be American right?
yes this is in Texas
I've seen and done much better but good effort. Keep practicing.........
6 Ps is all I'll say...or 7 if being rude 😈
No trees eazy cut sod rolls or square and stack them up make a grass poles out long grass reeds rocks. Boo
To complicated
Clear as mud ........... good-bye
dislike "only" because of wind noise on mic !!
I have to say this is the worst demo of a tarp tent I've ever seen. I know it was years ago. But at what point did you decide to continue and actually upload this when you realised the stick was too short? DD Hammocks would be my recommendation to see this set up done correctly.
Poor presentation, not prepared. C-
And yet the video still has over 106,000 views and keeps rolling. Do you make any videos so I can see if you put your money where your mouth is?
Thank you for watching!
