Let me know what your favourite tarp shelter set up is?
Bungalow with the raised corner, great video.
Each pitch here is a work of art. I only ever use single pole pyramid tarps though, for quick pitching and weight savings
Great video mate. I tend to go with the trusty tarp tent setup. Although I've been meaning to give your 'Gunyah' setup a go.
Those Alton Goods 3x3 are just about the perfect tarp. So many tie outs with so many setup options!
Bungalow is truly unique, well done scotty it looks absolutely mad
Well done man, I was almost not going to watch cause I didn't think it would be all that interesting, but that was pretty cool and I'm about to pull the trigger on an Alton goods tarp.
I hope you are keeping safe over there mate, and when you come out of lockdown I'd really love to see a few old school multi day hiking/survival trips with map and compass navigation, comparing where you nav with the map and where you end up on GPS in post. Maybe chuck in a bit more first person view of traversing some of the sections for a more immersive feel.
And if you get adventurous it would be awesome if you did some 360 VR vids. There's a video of two guys hiking in to the Colorado river on Oculus videos and then using inflatable rafts to head down the river. It's one of the most immersive outdoors vids I've seen. If you have access to a Quest 2 you should be able to find it. Just some ideas to keep in fresh in parallel with what you are doing. You're a national treasure mate. Love your work. Dead Set Legend.
I grabbed some paper and made origami tarps as I watched :) It's an easy way to compare the inside space when they're all set up in front of you. The Gunya setup looks easy to raise and swap between open & closed up.
Nice idea. :)
Look up channel "pappa hiker" he does that too. He has many great configs.
Great idea man! I've just started raiding our printer paper!! 🤣
Great idea!
That is unbelievably dorky - which I approve of and endorse 100%.
Imagine my surprise when I found "Scotty's Gunyah" on p.16 of the Alton Goods field guide. Well done mate!
I am a tarp convert because of you.
Spent many years tarping in the army and dismissed it as an option thinking it was just an army thing.
Good old hootchies
OF COURSE! A Y stick to leverage the back wall instead of straight line to peg. Brilliant. So simple I'm irritated I didn't think of it in any tarp trip. :D
Hello from the UK. Thought I'd seen everyway to put up a tarp, three of those were new to me. Great content thank you.
We used to create some bush palaces back in the army with Hoochie tarps joined together.
One of the best tarp shelter instructionals I’ve seen…well done!
You finally named your go to shelter! Gunyah is an excellent choice!!
I thought I knew most tarp shelter configurations, but I’ve never seen the first 2 in your video. Well done!
I really liked those. I’ll be trying them out this season. Thanks for sharing this.
I also liked the instruction and videography. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. 👍👍
This is awesome. My alton goods 3x3 arrived yesterday and I was in the park having a practice today. Fantastic. Thanks for the vid
I've used a version of the "tarp tent" pitch (used to poles at the doorway instead of one) on an exposed bald in the aftermath of a hurricane with 70 mph gusts. Many of the conventional tents were flattened that night, yet my basic tarp was fine.
Camped under a Hootchie while in the Army.
Pros - lightweight, versatile
Cons - Mozzies, Sandflies, Bull Ants, Centipedes and an over-curious King Brown.
Used a lightweight tent ever since but cudos to those who persist with Tarp Camping.
Australia sounds like hell for camping 😂
It would be tempting to take two of those tarps and set them up face to face to make a large livable space.
Last night I literally thought about going through your old videos to see how you set up your shelters. Great vid and great timing. Rad channel and content 😎
Awesome configs. Pretty sure I saw a couple of them in Star Wars.
Hey Scotty,
Just came across your channel after one of my subs recommended you - I’ve just done a tarp video too - great minds! Love those setups mate, not seen that first one before, looks really versatile and adaptable when the weather turns! Lovely video, really enjoyed it! 👊👍
Simon and Scotty along with Andy from Kent Survival are my fav bushcraft channels.
I have watched Scotty for ages as he's another Aussie. As I was watching this video I was thinking "Simon just did a tarp video too." :)
No here’s a collaboration I’d like to see Scotty and Simon..? 😁
The bloke finally meets the mate ! Both great channels !
I was directed to your channel via a sub on Simon’s Channel. If you ever come to the UK or he was to go down under, it would be a travesty if you didn’t make a film together!
That was the best trucker's hitch instruction I have ever seen.
I like having a tarp for its versatility, but I tend to use it for a shade awning, wind shield, rain fly, ground sheet or emergency shelter (never actually had that kind of emergency yet!) rather than as a primary shelter. If you've hiked in a place where it rains a LOT, it's great to quickly string one up to eat lunch and have a proper rest under. I'm interested in getting a bug tent to combine with a tarp, though, for summer camping - the ventilation would be so much better than a tent.
Why would you camp at all in the summer heat and mosquitos? I truly don’t get it. If it’s not cold, this southern man isn’t sleeping outside voluntarily.
😊😊😊 hey thanks for these. Loving the gunyah!
your set-ups are- superb
I reckon you could make an awesome book all about tarp shelters, hammock camping, campfire cooking, bush tucka etc. i think you have many people here who would be interested in you doing this mate! just a thought :)
Nice tarp! 👍🏼 I’ve loved using a tarp and Bivvy for over 20years. I can often be found outside on friends balconies or garden. I miss the stars✨ Peppermint oil helps keeps the monsters away.
I dig it! It’s basically an Adirondack style shelter with a floor mat. The aforementioned is my go to
Kids, today for home-schooling we're gonna watch Scotty and then go outside and practice these tarps with two hootchies and the 3x3 😉
Love a good tarp shelter, hate bugs. I ways pack a hammock with a bug net built in and setup under the tarp lol. These are pretty clever setups.
Nice to see some different ways to set up a tarp
Just love a tarp shelter. Great for us guys here in the UK where we don't have to worry about to many critters. For ground dwelling, my favourite has got to be a really simple plough point. Great little shelter. Fantastic video mate and some really interesting set ups. Hope that you guys get out of lockdown soon and back out to do your thing. Atb, J 👍.
Thanks! Love the Gunyah!
Hey Scotty, I love the idea, but Mozzies would eat me alive. What about the things that go bump in the night. I would feel very exposed. Great review and 5 great configurations for those who love the tarp. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah I agree, would be fine in calm warm weather but I would still rather not take my chances with the wind, mozzies, rain and the odd animal.
Place a small round stone on the outside of the tarp, on the inside wind paracord around the stone and tie one end off (securing the stone to the tarp , but leaving you a length of cord hanging down on the inside). Then you have a tie-up point for a mosquito net.
@@billyaitken1713 thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks Scotty your videos were the deciding factor to changing over to Alton goods. Can’t be happier
Awesome! Thanks Scotty 👏
Great video and very informative! 0:42
Realy Nice! Makes me wanna sleep on the ground again instead of sleeping in the hammock 😂💪🏻😍 realy Nice
This is slick. Nice instructional video.
Love the Gunyah shelter. I've never seen that configuration. Built in ground cloth is very useful where I camp. Thanks, useful video.
I love these how to videos, it’s nice to learn the basics. I couldn’t choose just one I like them all because they have different uses. Thanks Scotty for another awesome video!
Thanks for showing those setups Mr. Scotty. I really like the first one.
Tarp origami! Outstanding!
That bungalow is pretty cool.
3 minutes in and I’m already wanting to see more
Nice mate. Origami tarp construction at its finest. I like the first one and the tarp tent the most.
Pyramid was simple and so quick. Also a new one for me.
Thank you for this video. Sweet setups. Subscribed.
Nothing beats the A frame
Love the old tarp, so versatile and fun to play about with . Nice vid mate 👌
Gunyah: After years of 3x3 (10x10) tarps for versatile hammock/ground coverage, I broke down and bought a lightweight 8.5x8.5 with only 4 tie-outs on each face creating only 3 spaces. Works great if I peg a back corner and use the first tie-out forward from the adjacent corner for the head-end back peg. This gives a back line of just under 9', but actually creates a greater volume at the head end because there is almost a foot of extra material remaining to create the ground run for the head end. I then decide, depending on weather, to raise the foot lower at the first tie up from the foot corner, or higher at the second tie-out. I now think I like this better than the 10x10 as it is easier to keep taut and has less unneeded space at the foot and more at the head. Of course the ground sheet is smaller but I never liked to sleep on it anyway because of the extra wear., and it still works great for gear storage.
Cheers from an Aussie in USA :)
Love the Gunya !.... I love tarp shelters but I get Deer, Raccoons, Coyote, Black Bears & f***ing Skunks in my back yard so I am sleeping with one eye open lol.
Outstanding. Thanks.
I’m a recent viewer to your channel and have been doing a lot of catch up from about 3 years ago. I was hooked from the start. I love your passion and empathy for your surroundings and the environment. My husband hates camping so I live my dreams through your videos. Not a huge fan of fishing but love all other aspects of your hikes. Many thanks for keeping us truly entertained. Dorset, UK
Thank you for showing these tarp setups! I think the Gunyah will be my new favorit.
Unreal i had no idea of the possibilities of the tarp cheers
Love it mate good clear instructions 👍🏻 motivation in these boring lockdown times 🤙🏼
A really great production! Super useful....one to pass around to the contacts!
Nice one Scotty. The last one is my favourite. 😀
Thanks Scotty for this clear video. I’ve watched it three times to help me decide whether I can jump to a tarp set up. The gunyah looks great. Tarp life post lockdown for sure.
These are some great looking shelters, I'm keen to try them next time I get out!
Your pacing and presentation is fantastic, too. Your instructions are clear and concise, with only as many words as needed.
Nice, thanks for showing us. Take care.
Great video Scotty. Love the pyramid setup. Shared this video with my dad. Thanks!!!!!
Tried out the Gunyah this weekend - worked a treat! Thank you!
Some cracking setups .👍🏕
Wow I’ve seen plenty of tarp configuration but the first one blew me away, awesome job sir. Can’t wait to go try them.
I love your videos and I love the fact that you show everyone that tarps are a good choice for shelter. When I am with my dog, I prefer a tarp shelter. I just anchor her lease to the ground and we have all the room and air flow that is available.
Thanks Scotty for the info.
Will try these out .
Great video Scotty, thanks for sharing it
The gunyah is genius mate, will be trying that out next camp! Props from the UK
This is great, I've seen so many different tarp set ups but most of these are new to me!
Very cool video dude...thank you!
Good info Scott! Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠
Here are my next 5 shelters for my next 5 outings! thanks man!
Cracking tarp setups , very cool, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Great video mate.... love the toggle idea. Cheers from Bonnie Scotland. 👍🏼
useful guides! the first one is definitely my favorite, you don't need to muss around too much to set it up, it's roomy, and it doesn't require too many tie-up points
I have to try some of these. Thanks for the post! 🇨🇦
Love the Gunya. Never seen that before. Very well made video. Thank you 👊
Great video mate. Thankyou
Bloody legend mate. Been hanging to see some more of your tarp configuration but in detail. Cheers for the video !!
fast learn, and so massive.. thnx brother
Very cool, with the exception of the last one I have not seen those instructions before. Some cool ideas there.
A good video. Showing them as origami will also help some people. I'll be using the 'Scotty Gunyah' this summer on the AT.
They are great Scotty. Cheers mate. I do love my hammock however I shall practice the gunya. I love its design.
Good video dude. Definitely considering a tarp shelter for some hiking trips with my dog after lock-down.
the first tarp shelter looks really nice. i'll try it next time i go out...thanks a lot...great video
another great video and enjoy the info. Man you really knows and have the experience. I enjoy your technique to keep things simple and up to the need.
I like the idea of the first one, with another tarp at like shoulder level or a little lower just to deflect rain or wind from the entrance by default, and give some sheltered space outside of your actual living space
This man has skills.
GREAT pitches!!! I really like the geometries of the first two... I'm looking forward to trying them out ASAP! You Aussies need to start posting more content rather than keeping all the good stuff to yourselves! 😉 👍
im just starting to do camping ,i like this video
such a perfect tent!
Favorite camping channel right here!!! Keep up the good work bro🤙
Really interesting. I tarp camp all the time, and have never seen any of these except the tarp tent. Scotty always has the most interesting tarp configurations. My personal favorite is the tarp tent, but I also like Plow Point and Adarondack.
@NC Grayman I’ll check it out!
scotty you ingenious bastard, these are great!
Cracking setups gonna be trying them out over the coming months 👍
This one is perfect. Thanks for this video. 💪
Dude so dope!!! Cheers Scotty!!
Awesome vid mate. Keep up the great work.
I love these chilled out videos. Thanks Scotty. Waiting on the 'alone in the
bush at night, what was that noise spooky compilation.' 🙂⛺🌳🏞
Great video!
Very informative - Thank you!
Loved these ideas! will definitely try some of them sometime soon hopefully :) I like how they are a little more unusual as what i've seen and tried already
