That is a nice design of a shelter and one that I do not believe that I have seen before. I frequently use both nylon and poly tarps configured in different ways as shelter for camps. My wife and/or I often use these configured tarp shelters for either sleep or as a covered gear storage/kitchen area. Will now add this configuration to the setup options as well. Thanks.
Thanks Lonnie. I love this configuration especially for winter ( which is when I camp the most ) it is very well suited to having a fire in front. And having the sides semi closed in is nice for shifting winter winds. I'm really glad you liked it and plan on using it. I take it as quite the compliment coming from someone of your skill level. If you look through and find some of my hot tent videos you will see the green tipi I made thanks to your video showing how to make one. So thanks for that and thanks for watching, take care my friend.
I just published a video on this subject and mentioned your channel as well as left a link in my video to this video here. Hopefully you will see an increase in viewership in the next several days at least. Good luck.
I just watched it, great job on the shelter. And thanks so much for the shout out, I really do appreciate it. Take care my friend.
Happy to be a New Sub of Lone-Woodsmans channel Thanks for this Lonnie
yep, still works.
Having the triangle fly is a great touch. Lots of rain or snow, it will help block a lot of weather from coming in.
It looks like with just a small lowering of the ridgeline, you could really hunker down inside this setup.
Great shelter idea, great video. Appreciated
You are correct on all points. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
@@lonewoodsman Need to figure out this setup for the heavy duty tarp i've been using. It's 10" x 12". any suggestions?
@@Lord-Snowflake Try using just piece of paper at home measured out to the size of your tarp. It will give you an idea of how it will work. Other than that just set it up as you would a square tarp. It will be a little different due to your tarp not being square, but it will still work.
@@lonewoodsman appreciated
Nice clear tutorial brother. I like the Pro Tip, nobody needs a busted knuckle in the woods🖒
Thank you very much. I can't remember where I learned that from. But I've been doing it for years, not always but when I remember to. Thanks for watching, take care brother.
I’m really loving the versatility of that tarp. An option for nearly every situation with all those tie outs, and being a square tarp. You saved me a lot of time in finding the perfect shelter option.
I know you’re busy with work, but hope you still can find time to get out.
Yeah me too man. I had tentsmiths make this tarp just like the old one that I made ( only bigger ). And I found that having all these tie outs really helps out with just about any pitch you can imagine. And yeah work is pretty intense right now, but winter will be here before we know it. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great setup. Thank you. Sent here by Lonnie and Connie from Far North Bushcraft and Survival. Subbed!
Thank you very much, it's not my creation but I do use it quite a lot when I go camping. Lonnie and Connie are wonderful people, I was honored to be mentioned in one of his videos. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
I always carry a spike in my kit for just such an occasion where a log makes it pitching a tarp a bit of a mess. It's come in handy more than a few times.
Yes sir it sure does. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Just the tutorial That I was looking for
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Nicely done - you should have been a teacher. You explain things very well. I would love to see the tarp set up with a floor done with that huge oilskin!!!!
Thank you very much. It's funny you say that, I'll be teaching my first class this winter on primitive winter camping. So I hope I do well. And as soon as I get the time I will show a set up with a floor. Thanks for the request and thanks for watching, take care my friend.
the hand flip while staking... nice tip! thank you.
It'll save some sore knuckles. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I especially like turning your hand palm up in order to avoid serious damage. It's amazing how what seems so simple after you hear it is something that we never do or would even consider. We are creatures of habit.
Thank you very much. I hear ya man, I've already been scratching my head on how to go about something. And had someone say why don't you just do this or that. And I stand there thinking, man how didn't I think of that. Thanks for watching my friend, take care.
Good Job!
Thank you.
Defiantly plenty of room to lay out and great protection from the wind. Nice set up, cheers Alan
Yeah no shortage of space with this tarp, lol. This set up is my favorite, it offers great protection and plenty of space. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Hey Buddy, excellent shelter technique, excellent demonstration and explanation.
Thank you very much. I use this shelter quite a bit. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Now I know what you do for a living, I understand the attraction to these tarp shelters you like. "No Windows!"
Haha, see there is a method to the madness. Thanks for watching Leo, take care my friend.
lone_woodsman You too brother.
Great job! Lonnie sent me over from Far North Bushcraft And Survival.
Thank you very much. That Lonnie is a great guy. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
That's a great Tarp and a nice setup for it, I think I need a canvas Tarp in my life.
Thank you. I love canvas tarps and highly recommend them. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Well done Professor!!! I never heard of that style, but I like it!!!
Haha thanks man. The adirondack is my favorite set up. It offers really good protection while having a nice open front to have a fire in front of you for warmth or entertainment. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Came your way via Lonnie. You do good work. Good explanations. Good execution. Many thanks. Liked & subbed. Seb in Canada.
Lonnie is a class act. Thanks you very much for the kind words and for subscribing to my channel, it is very appreciated. Take care my friend.
Nice set up Brother! Time proven. Digging that tarp! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I'm loving this tarp. Thanks for watching I appreciate it. Take care my friend.
👍👍 ☆☆☆☆☆ THANKS. ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Great video. That tarp is huge. I like the way you set it up. Thanks for sharing
Thanks you. And yeah it's pretty big, it's the first 12x12 I've owned. I'm still getting used to it's size. This set up is my personal favorite. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
GREAT!
Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great demonstration!
Thank you very much. And thanks for watching, take care my friend.
thanks for the tutorial. before you staked down the sides you kind of had some walls. I think I'll try staking the walls in place instead of opening it up as you did. can't wait to try this
It still has walls, they are just slanted. But i know what you mean. I have set it up with straight walls before. I just prefer the slant , it helps when it's windy. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great setup!! Tarps are so versatile. 👍
Thanks and yes they are. I love tarp camping. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
I noticed you talking to Shane Slone about the 1100 para cord Brian. You referred to going to natural cordage. That 550 that you are using is ideal. You don't need an upgrade or downgrade. The only reason for biodegradable cordage is if you are leaving it behind. I liked your Adirondack tutorial. Especially the part about keeping the palms up. I learned that at a young age while building houses. I noticed that your last steak had an angled edge on it. I'm just guessing but I think that you were running out of time and you didn't bother to blunt the edge up on it LOL! Excellent tutorial my friend and I positively love your tarp! I can't say enough good things about it brother. Thanks for the share!
Don't get me wrong 550 is great stuff. The only reason I'm thinking of a change to natural cordage is to be more traditional. I know I can't get rid of all modern materials nor do I want to I just like the traditional look. I can't remember where I learned the palms up tip when hammering, but it is a good one to know. Haha, and your spot on about the stake it was threatening with rain and I was rushing to finish up. Not that it would have mattered I had my tarp and a poncho in my pack. I just didn't feel like hiking back out in the rain, lol. I'm liking this tarp as well, looking forward to my first camping trip with it. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Cool series!
Thank you, I've been wanting to do this one for a long time. Tarp camping is my favorite way to camp. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
New subscriber .
Thanks, and thanks for watching. Take care my friend.
Great set up
Thanks, this one is my favorite. I use it a lot when I go camping. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
🤠
I carry a metal tent peg that goes into wood that is in the way.
Good tip, thanks for watching. Take care my friend.
That is a nice setup, I just bought a tarp today after looking at yours I hope I got a big enough one ..lol
Thank you. What size did you buy? You don't need one as big as mine that's for sure. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Awesome! I like that. Hoping to get a decent tarp this year. would like to give that one a try.
Thanks Karl. I'm really liking this tarp so far, and this shelter is my favorite. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.

nice set-up!
Thanks, I really like this one. I use it more than any other set up. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Damn thought I was first swamp beat me in lol great video like to see what you could do with a 6*8
Haha, guess ya gotta be quicker. I'll have to see if I have one around here somewhere, if not I could pick up a cheap one. But I already know I won''t be able to do as much with it as I can a square tarp. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great video and it looks like a nice set up too 👍👍
Thanks man. I prefer this set up for most occasions. Thanks for watching my friend, take care.
Your very welcome
This video sold me. Subbed. ;)
Thanks man, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great video dude
Thanks a lot man. And thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Hi Lone: Good to see you followed my suggestion( Oops) you do nice work. Thanks Brian 77
Haha, I couldn't have done it without you my friend, lol. Thanks for watching, take care.
i also got here from Lonnie's channel. this is a great setup. thanks for the vid
what kind of tarp is that? i am looking to upgrade my tarp and yours looks decent
The tarp was custom made for me by Tentsmiths. Thanks for watching and take care.
I like this shelter. I may use it at Uitwaaien.
It's a good shelter and easy to add a bug net to as well. I have a new one planned for Uitwaaien I just need to get out and test it. Thanks for watching and I'll see ya at Uitwaaien, take care my friend.
Awesome
Thank you very much and thanks for watching. Take care my friend.
Lonnie sent me good stuff
I’m glad your here. Thanks for watching and take care my friend.
Can you make these shelters without being a square tarp? And Where do you buy 12x12 ones?Great idea thanks
Thank you for your video! In the case of a fire in front can you keep the triangle on the roof of the tarp also towards the entrance as you explained before? Or in case of a fire is it better to hold it back as you did?
HI Kevin, it depends on the fire. In the case of a small fire you could leave the triangle extended. But for a larger fire I would pull it back. You don't want to burn or melt your tarp. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
@@lonewoodsman thank you!!! Really nice and smart
Awesome video and thank you for sharing this. One question for you , where did you get that tarp
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. The tarp in this video I had custom made for me by the original owners of Tentsmiths.
I have been looking at his tarps online, is the one you have his basic 12X12 and then you added the additional loop on the top, center, I know you had some of the loops made bigger than normal, but just trying to figure out what the difference between the one you have and his stock one is.
Thanks for sharing, have a blessed week
Dale
The one I have is my own custom design. The difference is the tie outs, it makes it way more versatile. But with any of their tarps, I don't think you can go wrong. Thanks for watching my friend, take care.
I really like that set up and the tarp itself. Can you share a link of what kind it is and were to get it please. Thanks
Thank you, the tarp is of my own design. I had it made by Tentsmiths. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
If you have back problems avoid to lay on ground without insulated foam mat,
thanks for video
Sound advice, I always use some type of mat to lay on when I'm ground camping. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
I do touring cycling at summer time, but using tent to avoid bugs and other creatures, I'm 57 and familiar with back pain problems, I like your advice to keep palm up during hammering pegs,
thank you
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Really enjoying the tarp videos. Mine has burn holes everywhere. How will yours hold up against embers?
Thanks man. I can't say for this one yet, but my old canvas tarp I made had embers land on it a bunch of times and no holes yet. So time will tell with the new one. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Take care>>>
And you as well my friend. Thanks for watching.
Very cool! For your ridge line what cordage do you use? Do you ever use 1100 paracord?
Thanks Shane. I used 550 for the ridge line, I think I may be changing to a natural cordage soon. I have never used 1100 paracord before. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Awesome video. Great tarp shelter. What tarp is that it looks heavy duty.
Thank you very much. It is a custom tarp of my own design that I had tentsmiths make for me out of oil cloth. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great setup and knowledge. What knife you carrying 👍
Thank you very much. The knife in this video is a basic bushcraft knife from the Pathfinder store. I got it from a fellow member on Bushcraft USA. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Great video, was looking for this exact "how to" for the Adirondock Pitch, thanks! What hatchet are you using btw?? Thank you!
Thank you, glad you found it helpful. That is my Shawnee throwing hawk made by H&B Forge. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Thumb 👍🏼 🆙
Thank you and thanks for watching. Take care my friend.
for me I think a 12 x 12 is a good size I like room and or closure If I need to in colder weather... thanks
This is my first 12x12 tarp, I'm still getting used to it. It has so much more room than my other tarps. I do love the coverage it provides though. I look forward to winter camping with it. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Nice set up L/W .. Is that a special made tarp with all those tie -up loops ? Great video Bro thanks for the share .....Mark.....
Thanks Mark. And yes it is I had it custom made by Tentsmiths. It has 25 tie out points on it and it's a 12x12. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
I do not know if anyone else asked this question, But who is the
manufacture of that tarp you are using? Where did you purchase it?
It is a custom design of my own made for me by Tentsmiths. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Got it
build another shelter so the open areas are close and facing each other, join them on the right, and have a door on the left. that I would like to see, thanks
I'm not sure if I know what you mean. But I will try to work something out. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
What tarp you have? 4×4?
This one is a 12x12.
Where do i get these tarps
I had this tarp custom made by Tentsmiths. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
I like the advice on turning your hand over when placing the stakes. I don't understand why you didn't pull the corner out at the top instead of tucking it back. Takes away from the aesthetics.
I usually only pull the peak down when the weather is less than ideal. Having the peak down takes away from the view while under the tarp. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
what size tarp is this?
It is a custom 12x12. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
What kind of Tarp is that
It is a 12x12 oilskin of my own design, custom made for me by Tentsmith's. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
What camera are you using? I've seen several misc videos now, yours included, which seem to have a weird static-like noise when someone is speaking. I can only imagine it's the camera, but maybe TH-cam's processing?
I'm using a canon t5i with an external rode mic. The noise you are hearing in this video is the wind. I just went and checked it. Thanks for watching my friend, take care.
How did you order your tarp, what did you ask for? I would like to order the same one. Thanks
It a custom design of my own creation. I just sent them a rough drawing of what I was looking for and they made it up for me. If you want I can E-mail you the design I came up with. They should call the tarp The Lone Woodsman, lol. I have a lot of people wanting to get it.
lone_woodsman I would love to get this 12x12 oil tarp. Could you send me the information on how to order the tarp? Thank you and good video!
If theres no trees just use poles same on back.
True, you can do that with pretty much all tarp shelters. Good tip and thanks for watching, take care my friend.
what is the name of the knots and how did you attach to ridgeline?
On the starting end of the ridge line I tied a Siberian hitch and on the other side was a truckers hitch. Attaching the tarp was done with two prussic knots and two toggles. I have other videos showing how to tie each of the ridge line knots. Thanks for watching, take care my friends.
Jaka jedt waga tego tarpa?
Waży około 10 funtów, dzięki za oglądanie. Dbaj o siebie przyjacielu.
Dzięki.
Full view check out my last video
Thanks man I appreciate it. And I will check out yours as well. Thanks for watching, take care my friend.
Dude just assumes all tarps have the exact same number of tie outs. 👎
OMG, @ 6:28 stepping all over that poor tarp. I guess if you are camping in your backyard and happen to have $$$ for many tarps that is ok, but for the rest of us.....
Haha, I wouldn’t call putting one foot in it “stepping all over it”. And I’ll tell ya if a tarp can’t handle me stepping on it without it being trashed I don’t want it. Because a tarp like that is junk and I can tell ya this tarp can definitely handle me putting a foot on it. Thanks for watching.
