I just saw this and thought i wouldnt like it. Towards the end of the video, i ended up loving this configuration. Ive seen other people try to do similar layouts but i never liked them. This is a winner forsure.
Nice demo Jason. I honestly didn't think I would like this configuration... but after watching it now seems really useful. It's fast, easy, and perfect for an emergency situation. I imagine the front point could also be supported by a hiking pole/stick if a tree wasn't available. Thanks for sharing.
I honestly haven't tried without a tree, but I was thinking that if you crossed two poles or sticks to make a V at the opening and ran a guy-line for tension, the awning part could likely be folded downwards for a bit of coverage from the open end. I think I'll try it when I get a moment.
Love the floor and shape, but i have seen 2 videos the last couple of days, where tarps get small holes along the stitches in certain high tension areas. Im new to tarps, but i think it may be a good idea to add some reinforcement on the center of the tarp/ridgeline, before pitching the tarp at an angle to the ridgeline. Think im gonna get one of those 3x3 tarps from DD hammocks that comes with [reinforced] tie out points in the center.
Hey everyone, This weeks tarp shelter is the Bivy Bag tarp layout. This is a favorite of mine. Its very similar to a plough point or diamond fly shelter except it includes a floor. In my opinion, this is definitely one tarp layout that everyone should know because its easy to set up and provides very good protection (its also surprisingly spacious inside for a small shelter).
Can you do that with a trekking pole if there are no trees around? I mean, using a trekking pole that would stay strong in high winds. I think maybe by using several (at least three) cords pulling in opposite directions?

Glad you liked it!
Windy Californian mountains and this setup held strong. Kept me warm and alive throughout the night. Thank you!
Awesome!

It's a great setup in the Swedish army we called it Lone Wolf. Great in windy and rainy conditions at fall.

This guy is a legend
Great setup. Very simple. Thank you.
My new favorite tarp configuration! Thanks.
Truly helpful! Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for tutorial on the shelter. Just amazing how many different ways you can set up tarp

That is indeed a great tarp layout!
Love the videos!
Thank you so much, very informational. What camera do you use? Is very nice
good job

Hi Jason, how do you manage if the wind blow in various direction?
Isnt this a modified plow point? Wheres the bivy?
Looks doable with a trekking pole instead of the tree
I would say so. It's an easy shelter with a great low profile. Only down side is there's no room for sitting in it.
Would condensation be a problem with no through flow and the tarp touching you or your quilt? Mmmmmm..........
Just use a prussic to tension. Ten times quicker. After a long day you don't want to be messing around with too many knots.
A truckers hitch, or a taut line hitch, only take seconds if you know. A prussic already on the ridge line is always good also.
Junglecord even faster
Do you do classes or anything like that?
Nope. I do youtube, don't have much time for anything else.
Jason Eke thank you for responding
