Nice One lad ....My 12 year old son and his dad are hoping to get the weather to camp out over this summer ...fair Play Great Info and direction on your video 😊
Ah yeah a few cars here and there would be okay. I thought a secluded location like that would be grand but then sure 80+ boy racers showed up to go drifting for the night 😄
You should know that you can do a similar pitch such that you can more or less fully enclose the front, if the weather is truly bad. The traditional method of pitching a tarp tent does not place the pole inside the tarp, but in front of it, so you have a sharp peak at the front, and two flaps that can be closed. Better still is pitching it with two poles lashed together like scissors, so you don't have the pole in the way of the entrance.
The issue I had pegging out all 4 in the back first was that being fully tight, the back of the tent stayed flat to the ground so I lost a bunch of room.
I wonder if you added in a bit of guyline to each tie out point. Maybe 30 cm? That might help you out and give some extra air flow. It's worth a shot 👍
@RamblingOn I watched a few other people do the same configuration but they did the 1 back stakes first, then the 2 front and then the 2 rear sides and it seemed to open up better. I think I'm gonna try that next time.
Tested out recently in a pretty exposed area, if you drop the pole a bit and run it tighter at the corners you lose your sit out room but the wind rolls right over. On relatively flat ground you can keep out 95% of the wind or so with a fairly sloppy set up at most pole heights. I'm sure that can be nearly complete protection with some practice. Once you get it down it's very solid. Only issue is going too tight on the 2 stake corners can lead to issues where your tent can only pitch to 2ft 😂😅. Found myself having to adjust it a bit to get the right slack for my pole.
There are a few ways to do it. I prefer having one end close in, here's a video on how to set it up ruclips.net/video/_aFEBq2ZD9Q/видео.htmlsi=BhvBVhoEpmTTksCD
I would always use a bivy bag like the alpkit hunka xl. I can fit my sleep mat and quilt inside that. You could put your backpack inside a large packliner or bin bag to keep it dry too
@@RamblingOn thanks for that. How does the combined weight of tarp plus bivi bag compare with the weight of a backpacking tent (flysheet plus an inner tent with sewn-in groundsheet)?
@TheTerryMarsh1 oh you would definitely find a tent that would be the same weight. My tarp and bivy combined would weigh approx a kilo. The Durston x mid is a great example at around 900g. I had my Lanshan 1 Pro out the other night, single skin but it handled the wind brilliantly and it only weighs 690g I think
I can just imagine the frustration of that, it must be driving you nuts. I wonder if you slightly angled the pole forward would that help? The pole is held in under tension so with the angle of the guy line that could work. Otherwise you could wrap the guy line around the top of the pole but on the outside of the tarp which will hold it in place. I hope this helps you out 🤞
Pegging either side of the corner provides more support to the structure and is the traditional way to pitch a Tarp Tent. If you wanted to peg out each individual point or experiment with pegging out the corner point as you said then why not. Experimenting with tarps is half the fun

I swear the Irish accent got it's own charm
to me a korean, it sounds like he doesnt like to speak this language.
my granparents do hate speak japanese
Clear and concise - others have spent 12+ mins explaining and I still don't understand - got this down in under 30 seconds!
Great to hear, I'm delighted that you found it useful 🍀
Bravo to the man who gets to the point and gets the message across with out all the waffle. How are ya.
Ah yeah a few cars here and there would be okay. I thought a secluded location like that would be grand but then sure 80+ boy racers showed up to go drifting for the night 😄
I 100% understood every single word this guy said. 😂 thank you
Love that Irish accent mate 👍🏼
This video is way better explained then how I learned it !
Great Demo Mate 👍
Thanks very much 👍

I’ll be using the idea to keep my rucksack and the wood dry,👍
Thanks for this video, 🤩 very informative 👍
Great instructional video, mate.
Cheers Craig
Brilliant Idea
Great footage 👍 liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing, grüße Michael from Germany
Thanks for the sub, all the best 👍
Well done, Fam
You got a subscriber! Brilliant explanation. Very clear.
Thanks a mill 🍀
Thanks mate, I'll use that for sure. 👍 Worth a little subscribe.
Cheers Jeff 🙌
Thank you , very helpful .
Excellent.
Nice one man
Brilliant 👍
Nice matey very nice.
Very good thanks
Nice one Jason. Haven't moved on to tarp as yet but very informative video
Cheers Alan 🙌
You really won't regret going to tarps they are so versatile. Enjoy.
@ronourdoors
I always check the dead trees when I set up😂

Is this any good in wind
Yes this setup would be quite good in the wind

I wonder if there is a way to make an A-frame shaped tent out of a tarp and two trekking poles.

Amazing. What tarp do you use?
This is the tarp that I use amzn.to/3C0NQPQ
Thanks for fast reply ⛺️
Not a word
Good visual instructions though 👏🏻
What do you do when it rains heavily and the water flows under your tarp?
I would always use a bivy bag like the alpkit hunka xl. I can fit my sleep mat and quilt inside that. You could put your backpack inside a large packliner or bin bag to keep it dry too
@@RamblingOn thanks for that.

A top sown view would be helpful.
Merhabalar tarp ölçüleri ne olmalı böyle bir çadır yapmak için?
Kullandığım muşamba 3 metre x 3 metre muşambaydı. Güzel bir barınak yapmak için yeterli malzeme sağlar
What tarp is that?
That is a 3x3 metre DD hammocks Polyester Tarp
Share a link to me.. Where did you buy?
amzn.to/3K2tw4x 🍀
What's the point? If it rains, you're soaked. If it doesn't, why do you need a flimsy tarp?
Versatile and light weight, a lot of people go for DCF variants and use them on thru hikes
Great accent...where ya from? Is that a Dingel or Galway accent?
I'm originally from Kildare
i`ve tried this dozens of times and i just cannot get it , the pole slips over
I can just imagine the frustration of that, it must be driving you nuts. I wonder if you slightly angled the pole forward would that help?
The pole is held in under tension so with the angle of the guy line that could work. Otherwise you could wrap the guy line around the top of the pole but on the outside of the tarp which will hold it in place.
I hope this helps you out 🤞
Size?
It's a 3 metre by 3 metre tarp
😂 he said it in the title
10ft x 10ft is about 3m x 3m if you live in USA
Jason ur a sound man
I am happy?
I'm not gonna buy 3x3 tarp unless I am not a backpacker. It's too small
Just have a house you won't sleep in a tent would ya
Don't knock it till you try it 😄 I've had better sleeps in my tent than I've had in 4 & 5 star hotels
Bubbavi been is worst
I know I talk a lil shit uut I had a few rough times in my life I hope I didn't do y'all wrong I just talk more than I should
First step is pegging across the back corners and tucking... Why? Why not just put a peg through each actual corner loop
Pegging either side of the corner provides more support to the structure and is the traditional way to pitch a Tarp Tent. If you wanted to peg out each individual point or experiment with pegging out the corner point as you said then why not. Experimenting with tarps is half the fun
Barley English 😂 jesus
*Barely English.. You're welcome 👍
Wish i could understand him 😂😂😂
Accent reminds me of a Mickey from Snatch
I'll take that as a complement considering Brad Pitt was the actor 😄
@@RamblingOn yes! 100% intended as a compliment. One of my fave movies and defo his best character hes played imho.
Cool
