Holden Tent Tarp Shelter - Another Great Tarp Layout!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- The Holden Tent Tarp Shelter is an easy classic tarp configuration that provides protection from the wind, sun and rain from three sides.
This is the eleventh video in a series of tarp shelter layouts.
Without question, a good quality tarp is an essential part of bushcraft and camping equipment. The ability to create a shelter is one of the 3 key elements of wilderness survival and bushcraft skills (shelter, fire & water).
This video illustrates How to Set Up the the Holden Tent Tarp Shelter using paracord and a 3m by 3m Sil Nylon Tarp. Please check out our playlist "Tarp Shelter Layouts and Configurations" for more interesting ways to use a tarp.
The knots used when setting up the Holden Tent Tarp Shelter were the:
"Running Bowline" • The BEST way to tie a ...
"Truckers Hitch" • The BEST way to tie a ...
I hope you enjoy the video, if you do, please give it the thumbs up, comment and share. :) Thanks, Jason.

Hey everyone, here's this weeks tarp shelter. The Holden Tent is a great little tarp layout.
This will be the last tarp shelter in the series for a few weeks while I focus on getting out and doing some trips.
What size tarp?
Looks like a great layout. It would be great with a fire out front.
Ive never thought to chuck a line over a branch using a truckers for the point of a shelter. Dunno why, it's so simple! Probably carry that info the rest of my life, cheers!!
Just getting into tarps , 10x10
I like this style.
Great no bs vid, looking to do something like this off of my motorcycle handlebar
Glad I could help
Just did this one in my backyard. Thanks! It fell down after three hours so I had to fix it. It was the wind lol
I have a 7x9 tarp, but after watching all the layouts of this serie, I'm considering buying a 9x9, more versatile. Thanks for sharing.
One variation I’ve used for past 25 years takes the Holden and anchors a guy line from that stick to the ground about 7ft or do to the front. Then you bring the front flaps to meet at the base of the stick. When it rains, you’re enclosed, but otherwise you can open one or both flaps until needed. I call it the Swedish Wedge. (I’ve seen it called the summit too.)
So your Holden or the Swedish Wedge are a flash to set up and minimal gear involved: four stages and a stick plus cordage. Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you
yes I was looking for a tarp tent that did not require the use of two trees for the ridge so this is what I was looking for.
I usually use the plow pitch. I am going to go to the park right now and try out the Holden. Thanks.
You got that right, simple and quick layout and very similar to half a scout tent except it has the two center poles and a bottom. Well you already know that anyway. It may not be ideal in some terrain or weather conditions but I do prefer being open like that and spacious. I'm relative new to the RUclips survival genre but I do have some videos I'll be posting soon too on options for tarps that produce the same setup results. I'm all in with the larger tarps too in most cases because I hate to be restricted in small space when the weather conditions turn bad on you.
I found your channel today thanks to BCUSA. I love the tarp series so far. I've been having trouble finding good videos documenting different tarp setups and the pros and cons of them.
Thats great! Glad you found the channel and that the tarp series are useful to you. I'll get back to more layouts in a while but I've got two canoe trips in the next couple weeks plus a canoe to build.
Keeping busy
Nice video. I think it is amaizing how many confirgurations are possible. Methods of securing thing are plentiful as well. I just bought a tarp to mess around with and watching all the videos to get ideas has been a lot of fun.
Enjoying this series and watching!!! Not really much to comment on besides; Thanks and I'm always picking up great ideas!!! Nice Jason!!!
This has become my go to
Yeah, it’s a good one
Am really enjoying all these Tarp Shelters that you have shown us. Many of them I have never heard of before! THANKS!!!
Thanks Wendy :) This will be the last one for a while as I'm going to be focusing on canoe tripping these next few months.
I have NO problem with that!! I love the canoe tripping videos! Looking forward to yours!!!
That's a great easy idea,thanks for sharing.
Quick and easy. Thanks.
Nice and easy that’s cool thanks.👍🇨🇦
Great series, very well done.
Great job...
Great set up ! So i you could even use your Trekking pole for this set up then.
Definitely.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Informative and beneficial video
Good instructions, Great video. Thanks
Nice video. I think that this Holden pitch is the second most favorite pitch of all times, after the Plowpoint (aka Diamond pitch).
Some people compain that the open side lets in wind and rain. That is rare though. Always set up with the wind coming from the rear side and, if possible, with brush or trees facing the open side.
If a thunder storm blows up, you can reach out and take down the pole and let the tarp collapse over you until it blows over.
Liked, commentand sub. Love you hat.🇨🇦
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice

It’s a good shelter layout.
As for the open front, well I did a “porch solution” to this and posted a few photos. I used a DDHammocks magic carpet which is basically a 1.4m square tarp/mat
The demo thread is posted on a canoe site I contribute to at .... www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/56283-Enclosed-Whelan-Shelter-with-DD-3x3-and-Magic-Carpet
This one really works well and takes seconds extra to do.
Thumbs up to the configuration. Though I did have one glaring WHOOP'S I noticed as I watched. Might I ask (with all due respect) Why did you set it up with the door facing the wind? Setting it up that way will allow the wind to blow away any heat build up, while setting it up the other way, back to the wind, will allow the wind and weather to just roll on over the top.
lol. Just for a better camera angle.
@@TrailguidePictures I figured as much but I just had to ask! Thank's for clarifying that for me!
so the next question is, what is the best type of tarp? What type of tarp do you have there in the video? What is the perfect size for various configurations of tarp tent?
very cool, could u throw a mosquito net over the tarp to keep the bugs out. nice video
You could but mosquitoes are pretty tenacious and will likely come in under the edges of the tarp.
Thank you for the video. Is your tarp a 10x10ft?
Yes it is. Actually 3m by 3m so slightly under 10 by 10 but ...
Good deal, that’s the size tarp I have. I’ve been practicing!!! 👍🏻😊
@@TrailguidePictures Good to see you're all warming up to the concept of meters.. 😉😁
Why truckers hitch and not tautline hitch?
Can I do it with a 10x10 trap ?
Yes. This is a 10 x 10
@@TrailguidePictures thanks for answering me ! ! !
And God bless you and your family ! ! ! !
R u from Virginia?
Nope. Ontario, Canada
👍👍👍👍👍👍
