2 variations on a really good design. I appreciate that it was done with just a standard tarp. A lot of guys put up tarp shelter tutorials, and they tend to use tarps that you can't just find anywhere.
Almost like the baker's tent I used in Boy Scouts, back in the day when they were a good organization. It is also very similar to the classic Adirondack tarp shelter. Great stuff as always, keep up the good work!
I have used this configuration and its variations for years and love it. You can play with different attachment points for the ridgeline or poles. In foul weather I don't go all the way back to the halfway point but attach at the next grommet closer to the "porch" corner. It gives me a deeper shelter. I also angle the porch corner downward a little to shed water better.
So simple. I’m showing my girls all the knots I know. Only good one is one you can untie easily.... I have to try this in our back yard, just for fun. Thanks to both of you. God bless you both and your family.
I really like that setup Lonnie. With proper orientation to the wind it should make for a pretty warm yet smoke free shelter. Thanks you for sharing and your work.
Awesome is right! Love the simplicity. Very Clean & nut-in-fancy. Makes me think it just might be the perfect geometry for a super shelter system. But shrink down the size. Thx for sharing all the great ideas.
Outstanding shelter. Great video! Simple, short, concise, practical teaching with no fluff or filler. I watched the movie “Sourdough” (1978) this week and could not help but think about y’all. All blessings upon you both!
Hi Lonnie, I jave been doing bushcraft for 2 years now here in Canada and love your videos. I went on a day trip in the woods and put together your tarp setup. It was the best I had done yet with my square Aquaquest 10x10. Tks !!!
..you make stuff look so easy .i always try your way of doing it..thanks for the info..i tried your way of doing a tarp tent with a floor and it worked the first time i made it..
Great job guys. I've got to make a video tomorrow on a backpackong stove. I think I'll do this set up as a back drop lol. Thanks much for showing this to us!
Do you two adopt, I'm 61 but you have so much to teach, and I have so much to learn !!! Thank you Lonnie and Connie, you make an awesome show of which I've seen hundreds, you are a great teacher, the patients of a saint Sir........
This is another one of your videos I'll watch again ... a very useful technique using a standard tarp without modifying it in any way. (Would have given this a "Two Thumbs Up", but they only let me vote once in this election!) Thanks, Lonnie! God Bless
I like it ! Very cool ! I'm out right now. Reconfiguration begins after breakfast tomorrow. I always have a couple 16 penny nails with me. I can put them in the poles to catch the grommet. Thanks !
MountainRecluse, I might add to that their imagination to figure out their entertainment, along with their hands to make things, as "Brook" below mentioned ! Kinda like the days before BOOB Tube ?
We used Presiks for tying off tarps to Pipe Staging, where weather is a factor / remodeling large buildings, etc,,,. We'd get a bag full of 250 or 500 of them... Elastic cords, just like you have , with a plastic ball attached to one end of the circle or w/o the ball. Great for tying electrical cords together etc, all kinds of uses, today I learned one more way from you Lonnie & Connie, Thank you ,, great idea and show you have here. Stay Safe Stay Positive Stay Healthy Stay Happy. Big Jim aka Boston Strong,, Boston Mass. USA.
Probably my favorite setup to use in the warmer months. I also incorporate a bug net during the summer months. Great instruction as always - God bless.
Wow! So simple! Why didn't I think of that? Lol! I can see a tarp going into my pack for my next overnite, and trying this out. It seems Very efficient and easy to set up. My grandkids will love the porch! Thank you and Connie for sharing!
Excellent video and this really is useful information!!!!! Thank you so much for doing such a great job with the demos in this video. I appreciate the time you took.
Enjoyed watching, thank you. I wonder if the ridge line / poles could be lowered to get a touch more in the overhead for rain protection. Took no time at all and you were showing us. Thankyou Lonnie and Connie.
Thank you. Mixwell is correct, I do have a video on knots though the Farrimond hitch is not in that video. Seven Of My Favorite Camp Knots th-cam.com/video/LIin6y3876s/w-d-xo.html
Good job Lonnie. Similar to a baker tent, but with a pointed awning. Years ago, we used to go on a yearly snowshoe trip with some friends. We took along a roll of painter's drop cloth plastic. It was light, clear, but not very thick. About like a garbage bag. It didn't hold up well if you needed to move it, but over a stick frame it worked great. We made both lean to type shelters and sweat lodge type. Over the years, I have fell into the factory made tent trap. I think I need to get back to this type of thing. I like your tarp, I haven't seen any like that before. Yours rolls up good and tight in a small package. Most I see any more are rectangle too. Thank you for another great video! You have me thinking again.
My first campout in a shelter was with my dad & brother. Dad fashioned the shelter using clear plastic sheeting draped over some bushes. As I recall. I was quite uncomfortable as a little kid in that shelter but I still remember that experience with fondness which is saying quite a bit since i remember very little from that far back. Shucks, I have trouble remembering what i did yesterday.
You and I both! Gets worse every day! Ha! Basically, we just made lean to type shelters, covered the top with plastic and threw on a few branches to keep it from blowing off. Really, it was simple and effective. Fire in the front, same as a baker or Whelen tent. The sweat lodge worked out good too!
Thanks Lonnie&Connie for sharing that set up.I did go to the link and sub to him.The way i see it if you are following his work its good enough for me.Happy to see your healthy guys.Looking forward to another season of videos,i happen to think yours are the best,have been along time now. Appreciate your work,God bless,peace
I have seen where Lars from Survival Russia carries a handful of nails wrapped in wire. If a person was anticipating putting up this shelter and already carries a Leatherman with them it seems to be a good idea to carry some screws in the woods to do the same as what you have here. I think I am going to start keeping a few screws in a small pill bottle in my pack for just such ideas.
What an incredible setup. Thanks so much for sharing ..... I always appreciate your videos and your dog ( kidding) in the background! Thanks my friend!
Good setup. I'm thinking if you were two people, and the other person also had a tarp, you could set the two tarps up facing each other and pretty much have a nice enclosed ridge tent.
If one was to leave a gap between the two facing shelters such as two to three feet, one could then build a fire between the two under the gap and the fire should exhaust up through the overhead gap quite cleanly. The user may need to block one end or both. If both ends are covered then gaps should be left near the bottom of at least one end so that the fire can breathe well.
You remain amongst the best teachers regarding wilderness living. Thank you, sir.
N. Montero yup we!l said.... Awesome guy!!!
2 variations on a really good design.
I appreciate that it was done with just a standard tarp. A lot of guys put up tarp shelter tutorials, and they tend to use tarps that you can't just find anywhere.
Thanks a lot for this. I often think too traditional when it comes to these details. Very useful unput!
Nice to see you here Bjorn
Almost like the baker's tent I used in Boy Scouts, back in the day when they were a good organization. It is also very similar to the classic Adirondack tarp shelter. Great stuff as always, keep up the good work!
You're the type of folks I hope to call "neighbor" some day. Thanks for all the great vids.
Great job on the set up Lonnie. And many thanks for the shout out my friend, take care.
Great video Lonny I’m gonna share this with my post apocalyptic survival page
Thanks for sharing Cory. I appreciate that.

It's good to see you again and lovely to see another shelter video 👍
As always, a great video and another tarp design to add to the toolbox. Thanks!
Thanks Lonnie... square tarps are my favorite portable shelter. Many ways to configure.
Hello Lonnie, and Connie, I do appreciate all of your videos and time as well as your knowledge, thank you for sharing this with us. ..
I love you guys, Lonnie and Connie. I'm glad to see another explanatory video from you.
I really like that setup Lonnie. With proper orientation to the wind it should make for a pretty warm yet smoke free shelter. Thanks you for sharing and your work.
Going try this setup on my next overnight trip. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your a great mentor. 👍
Just listening to you is calming thank you.
Greetings from Austria and Poland 👊
Greeting to you as well from Alaska USA.
Great shelter. It looks do-able for someone like me that’s never built a shelter. Thanks!
Always like your videos. Thank’s for taking the time to share
For those wondering this setup is called the Adirondack setup. Good video and demonstration! Cheers
I’ve been running parawing style tarps for 30 yrs now this would be a great addition. Good job!
Great job and shelter! 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Awesome is right! Love the simplicity. Very Clean & nut-in-fancy.
Makes me think it just might be the perfect geometry for a super shelter system. But shrink down the size.
Thx for sharing all the great ideas.
Yes it would be very easy to hang a clear front sheet across the front on this design. Real easy.
Outstanding shelter. Great video! Simple, short, concise, practical teaching with no fluff or filler. I watched the movie “Sourdough” (1978) this week and could not help but think about y’all. All blessings upon you both!
Style has been around for many years, it has a history,
Thanks for showing everyone how to set it up.
Hi Lonnie, I jave been doing bushcraft for 2 years now here in Canada and love your videos. I went on a day trip in the woods and put together your tarp setup. It was the best I had done yet with my square Aquaquest 10x10. Tks !!!
Thanks Lonnie. I like the simplicity of this shelter.
Simple/Practical designs get used! Thank you so much! I hope you and your wife continue to share your passion for years to come.
Nice one, Lonnie, I like that setup. Thanks for the great demos.!
Very Good and Simple to put-up. Thanks, Lonnie & Connie for this video. I will be making this set-up also.
3 words in and I can sense he's a competent man already. Subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel.
I can't get over how dang big that tarp is!
12 X 12 feet
Impressive! I can barely fit a 5 x 7 tarp in my kit!
..you make stuff look so easy .i always try your way of doing it..thanks for the info..i tried your way of doing a tarp tent with a floor and it worked the first time i made it..
I always learn something, Lonnie and Connie. Thank you so much for sharing.
Excellent idea. Now, to figure out a way to use it with a hammock and I'd be set!
Thanks Lonnie and Connie, looks like one that I will see if I can throw up over at the creek camp as soon as it cools down a bit.
A beautiful way to hang a tarp anywhere. I have some gigantic tarps and could see a nice dry place for sitting or whatever. Thanks!
Again you have modified my ways...many thanks.
Great job guys. I've got to make a video tomorrow on a backpackong stove. I think I'll do this set up as a back drop lol. Thanks much for showing this to us!
Do you two adopt, I'm 61 but you have so much to teach, and I have so much to learn !!! Thank you Lonnie and Connie, you make an awesome show of which I've seen hundreds, you are a great teacher, the patients of a saint Sir........
My good ol uncle Sam taught me this many years ago. Happy to see someone teaching it on.
I like it. Our local Baptist Church is going to have a youth camp out. I just ordered two 12x12 tarps. Thanks for the idea!
Cool man I've done something like this..haven't been camping for a long time...looks like fun..Alaska is to cold for me..burr summer maybe not winter.
Thank you for sharing Lonnie. Useless to "hope" we learned something new ! We ALWAYS learn something new with you and Connie.
thanks for the demo, easy to follow and another enjoyable video to watch
Hey Mr Lonnie ! I like the square shelter. Nice. Thanks for showing
love how you think out of the box a lot of people over think and over complicate simple things like putting a tarp up
great video , really enjoy watching and learning from you .
I would like to request you do more how-to videos! I made you fancy feast stove and it works amazing!
This is really useful, you see I’m doing a shelter camp with my fellow scouts this weekend and can’t put a shelter up. Thank you for the help!
This is another one of your videos I'll watch again ... a very useful technique using a standard tarp without modifying it in any way. (Would have given this a "Two Thumbs Up", but they only let me vote once in this election!) Thanks, Lonnie! God Bless
Wow. Just watched yor baker tent today! Great timing!!!
I’m thinking it’ll make for a easy fishing shelter for my small fishing trip later this month. Thanks as always, Lonnie and Connie.
I like it ! Very cool ! I'm out right now. Reconfiguration begins after breakfast tomorrow. I always have a couple 16 penny nails with me. I can put them in the poles to catch the grommet. Thanks !
Thanks for sharing!
Always great to learn another tarp system. Thanks!
A life skill that I will continue to use, wondering why this was not required in school
sad but true, I remember building most of the toys I played, seems wrong not to allow my children to experience the joy of using your hands to build
MountainRecluse,
I might add to that their imagination to figure out their entertainment, along with their hands to make things, as "Brook" below mentioned !
Kinda like the days before BOOB Tube ?
Love to go camping with him .top man

I like the way u did that at the time I’m typing this I see 70 thumbs down , why would someone not like this ?
Probably my favorite setup to use in the warmer months. I also incorporate a bug net during the summer months. Great instruction as always - God bless.
Howdy from Fl. Nice to see you again, thanks for sharing.
That’s bloody awesome Lonnie.
Fantastic setup(!), thanks for showing... 👍👍
Love the Farrimond Friction Hitch - to me it’s superior to Taut Line Hitch.
Thanks for taking the time to show us this shelter!
Cool. Thanks Lonnie and Connie.
Wow! So simple! Why didn't I think of that? Lol!
I can see a tarp going into my pack for my next overnite, and trying this out. It seems
Very efficient and easy to set up. My grandkids will love the porch!
Thank you and Connie for sharing!
Brilliant as always mate 👍🏽 informative and down to the point
I prefer tarp and rope. Summer as winter time.
Low weight, sheap and also fast to set up.
Enjoyd your video Sir.
That shelter looks excellent. I will be using that as well in the near future, just have to start practicing with the setup. Great video.
Seriously, .... thirty seconds in,... I’m riveted. And as a sheetmetal guy, that is what I prefer, a mechanical connection. :) thanks in advance,
Excellent video and this really is useful information!!!!! Thank you so much for doing such a great job with the demos in this video. I appreciate the time you took.
Thank you for your Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Sir.
Good video, plain to the point without too much talking, just a good set up. Thanks shared to five of my TH-cam lists.
Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I really did!
I've been using tarps like this for years! Great set up!
Its grate now its my new favorite too, thanks for sharing it... Blessings
Super tarp set up, this video has been downloaded to my survival/bushcraft playlist so i don't forget about it.
I'm glad ur still making videos. I appreciate you Lonnie!
He is a beautiful dog,thanks for the feedback! 👍👍
You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Teacher/engineer
Enjoyed watching, thank you. I wonder if the ridge line / poles could be lowered to get a touch more in the overhead for rain protection. Took no time at all and you were showing us.
Thankyou Lonnie and Connie.
I never heard of a ferrimond hitch, I had to go look it up. Nice!
Farrimond hitch looks like a modification on a prusik knot.
Very nice. You could run a hammock through this if you cut a slit in each side-wall and installed some snaps, toggles, or a double-zipper.
As usual you have the most practical and useful info
Awsome video Lonnie and Connie. I would like to see a video or two on knots. You are a wonderful teacher.
Kris Weaver He has a video on knots if you go through his channel.
Thank you. Mixwell is correct, I do have a video on knots though the Farrimond hitch is not in that video.

I think this shelter is commonly called an Adirondak shelter. Good job in showing how to do it in this video 👌
I love the way you explain things and my husband and I love your videos!

Huh... did not know that about tarp dimensions, thank you for the info!

Thanks for taking the time on this video. Really appreciate having a totally new way for a tarp cover.
Now that's a good-looking tarp!
