    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival

      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!

    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 !!!

    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.

    @MuskratOutdoors 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @MuskratOutdoors
      @MuskratOutdoors 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    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.

  • @easilyoffended8106
    @easilyoffended8106 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.
