I have found that the arrow head configuration also works well in summer storms down here in australia. The wind can change from east to west over a two or three hour period and the rain will be torrential for about half hour or more. This set up beats the weather no problem as long as you face it the right way
As an avid outdoorsman, if I need shelter it will be a tarp. I've used many configurations, but never this one. I absolutely love it! So simple, so many applications, so versatile, and perfect for dog companions. Bravo dude! I love all your stuff, and this is one of my favs!
Many thanks Mr. Dan. This is a very useful tarp configuration. With a, Mors Kochanski, clear plastic sheet, this would be a, long term shelter, Cheers😃😃❤
I grew up in the mountains of north central PA. Still travel back for deer season hunts. I can appreciate the cold and those crazy cross winds. Keep on my friend.
I use this set up when ground camping. MSS and mattress or plastic front cover and that snow will be mud! But my favorite set up with a tarp in the winter. If don't want the super shelter, small stove will run you out!
I like it. Am bushcrafting in Downeast Maine. Nice setup. I use 10×12 canvas tarps from tractor supply or harbor freight. I honestly, I think I've camped more than half my life. I admire light weight campers, but I don't do that (unless I'm traveling) generally I "high impact camp" I carry a duffelbag full of heavy equipment. I like heavy canvas, axes, a shovel. Super heavy. I like that arrowhead design. I might use it in front of the kitchen fire I use. Have a large lean to ( same idea you illustrated with Townsend) and a dugout shelter (basically a fighting hole, or trench. I dug in a drain on downhill side) watched Corporals Corner to learn that, but also WW1 trenches and other tunnels, dugouts in history. Yes it's been cold. The plus side of that for me is, I'm so used to it now. Getting blasted by arctic cold fronts just about every day, sheesh. If I'm not being blasted by wind and snow, just about any temperature feels warm to me now. Not always though. Sometimes it feels cold. It can be painful, bare hands work. Much easier to deal with if there's a fire. Warm up my tootsies (hands and feet) I like warm tool handles too. I need to get in the habit of one thing you had mentioned. I should always keep some water hot in a pot by the fire. For broth, noodles, drinks, whatever. I like hot liquid in a cup, keeps the hands warm holding it.
Hello from Georgia...usa.......In my younger days.....I was driving for an E-7 in the Army. Humvee with the open deck with bench seats. He decided...He wanted the whole back for personal use. So I got the tarp out and thru it over the engine hood. Like a folded piece of bread or a hot dog bun. I slipped up there and slid between the halves and slept nice. I waited till He went to sleep and took my ink pen and gently poked small holes in the truck tarp over his cot. When it rained...HE suffered....)
James, Senior NCOs think they are special just like LT.s I was a E-5 U.S. Army 0:00 I always made sure my people were taken care of before I was ,they ate ,slept, I was the first one up and last one to eat and sleep. Thank You for your time in service and keeping me safe. 1979-1986 Pershing Missile System .
Don’t need that very often here in Texas. Still a great concept and a nice tool to keep in my toolbox (as long as I don’t forget 🤣). Thanks for sharing.
As you mentioned, we must obviously place our tarp according to the wind. A friend had neglected this advice that I gave him, saying he would benefit from more heat in his shelter. In the morning he was intoxicated by smoke, headaches, vomiting. This obviously ended our planned 3-day getaway...
ToolboxWorthy! I have used a “Swedish Wedge” which pitches the front at waist-height and the back two corners pinned down. I summer i can fold the front flaps over the top until needed down for rain protection. A single stake can join the flaps at the center. Either flap can be pinned to ground to block wind. Works best with square tarps from 7x7 to 10x10. This Arrowhead design looks like a far better arrangement for winter though. SITW!
Cool. Have you ever seen a Siberian fire? It’s one big log perpendicular to the opening of your shelter with the fire facing the shelter. Then it has smaller logs hanging over the big long burning under the fire. It’s supposed to radiate the heat into your shelter. I’ve never done it. It just looked cool like your videos. Thanks.
Thank for this. Will you consider tarp variations of rectangular tarps? I bought an arcturus 12x8 and it's somewhat frustrating to come up with anything more than.a basic lean to. Thank you for your work.
For this old guy most tarp shelter descriptions seem confusing to me. Your great presentation and the simple layout (I think) should be easy to retain. Thank-you for your great videos.
How do you guys do it? Having a fire to "keep you warm all night" never worked for me. It is either: when the fire is out, you freeze. So you either need to prepare a LOT of firewood to last through the night (and not get more than a nap at a time which is bad), or you're without your lifeline (the fire), usually in the middle of the night when the cold gets you. And no tarp setup whatsoever is gonna change any of this.
You have to have the proper clothing system where you would survive with or without a fire. However, there are fire lays that will last all night if done right
I’ve done December muzzle load elk hunts in WA state at 10 below F, 2’ of snow on the ground meant hoping to gather firewood was not remotely a consideration. I put up a 12’x14’ tarp with a fifth pole in the middle to make it easier to keep additional snowfall from being a problem. I have a winter sleeping bag that is warm enough that I get overheated if I try to wear even long underwear. On a cot of course. Wool clothes and longjohns, and that sleeping bag are perfectly adequate. The hardest part is getting out of the bag and dressing in the morning when you’re so dang comfy. Fires are a luxury. I’ve enjoyed them for early season elk hunts with 5 guys and a full week to gather wood and setup a great camp before the winter snowstorm’s come. Wall tent and wood stove. But winter hunting solo, I don’t bother with a fire. Too much work and I’d rather eat and get more sleep.
@ "The hardest part is getting out of the bag and dressing in the morning when you’re so dang comfy." 😁I know. Need to kick myself harder every year to make that happen! 🤭
nice, IF you use a Sibieran ifre lay n front of it, with tis one way projected heat letting you keep the fire twice as far away from your fabris and having much less popping embers in the first place. I use a couple of alternative Swedish fire torches to ignite the siberian when all is wet. Keep at least one swede dry, inside of your shelter or make a little primitive shelter for them nearbiy. I like having a revflctor behind the flames that is taller than my shelter, so that the smoke is drawn away from my shelter and a bit more of the heated air is kept around me, wind is blocked, etc. This can be a tripod with sylnon tarp over one side of it. Carry tape, sping clips and a sheet of clear Peva shower curtain, so that this chelter can be swiftly convertted into a Kochanski supeer shelter. Carry a hammock, so that you can be 6" off off of the ground, with debris kicked under the hammock, to stop air flow. from chlling your butt.
Great setup! I wish i could be in the great outdoors doing this instead of being in this plant! Either the greenhorns mess up the machines and takes my maintenance all day fix or somebody calls in sick!!! Being in the woods heals just about anything
Survival primitive skills instructor 36byears I rarely carry water or build fire to stay warm use very old methods never seen a wild animal building a camp fire
I always prep for a fire EVEN if I don`t use it.If you go thru the ice get wet its pretty important to have smoke.Thats me, you don`t need my permission to do what you want.
Die meisten von denen verkaufen irgendwas, aber 'billig' im Sinne des Preises sollte ja wohl im Interesse des Kunden sein. Im übrigen kann es dir ja egal sein, du wirst ja wohl 90% deiner Ausrüstung kaum in Amiland kaufen, oder?! Ansonsten ist der Kanal vom Niveau her gesehen keineswegs schlecht.

Peg the back as wide as the front for extra room.

The Baker is my favorite and this is a nice variation on that. I’ll try it this week!

A new one for me. I really like this one!
I work for the game commission in pa. I’m also so glad it’s a bit warmer😂 marking timber was colddddd
I can't wait to try this shelter configuration out in the next few days.
Thanks for demonstrating this one Dan, it looks like a great winter shelter.
I looks like the answer I needed for some winter shelter concerns I had. Thank you. Very helpful.
Great idea, thanks!
Gonna try many different set ups this week, this will be one of them.
Thanks.
Hello 👋 Dan, thank you for sharing this most informative video. Stay safe out there 🏕️. 😅
Awesome tips Dan, Thanks for sharing this with us. The only thing better would be to have the world's best deer jerky in it while you're sleeping. LOL
So basically like a plow shape but closer to the ground. Looks interesting, gotta try it out!
That's my favorite one so far
i dont see it on the website
I like it. And stayin' in the woods is what I do. I watch your vids while stayin' in the woods.
Nice setup.
Clear plastic sheet WITH grommets would be a nice and easy way to create the super-shelter.
Shower curtain liner.
Looks pretty cool
So depending on the size of the tarp and tie out configuration you might hit your target with a broad point or practice tip …dad jokes are so fun.
Cool. Have you ever seen a Siberian fire? It’s one big log perpendicular to the opening of your shelter with the fire facing the shelter.

Thanks 👍👍👍
That's a very good tip , thank you Mr. Wowak ! ! !
Great idea. I can see a lot of benefits to this. I'm definitely going to give it a try.
Great video, I’m trying it, lot of wind in central kentucky😊
Awesome set up! Going to have to try this out some time! Another awesome video as always brother 👍 💪
Cool shelter! 👍👍
Cracking setup 🤙
Nice easy set up!
Great idea! I'm assuming this will work with rectangular tarps, too. I have a THICK canvas 10×12 that I think would work for this.
Looks cool that
very nice
Nice one!
I’m curious if you checked with a thermometer how warm it got with a fire in front?
Nice video.
Interesting. Thanks
Good video
Awesome, thanks
Very nice
Thank for this. Will you consider tarp variations of rectangular tarps? I bought an arcturus 12x8 and it's somewhat frustrating to come up with anything more than.a basic lean to.
Thank you for your work.
I like it, Ty for sharing
Great shelter! Do you have a video using it in this environment overnight yourself?
Peg the back as wide as the top front for extra room & line with a reflective layer(Reflectex/Mylar) to increase warmth.
Nice!!
Advantages/disadvantages compared to plow point?
Your t 6 zero is what ide like to have
Hey Dan, do the haversacks have a pocket in the flap too? Or is it just the one single main compartment?
Tool for the toolbox!
What boots do you use? Great content, love watching your videos.
I'm gonna have to try this shelter out, looks cool.
Also, nice bodywarmer, where's it from?
Why not give the ambient temperature? It very well may be “warm” compared to last week. But what is your temperature?
How would the use of a t6zero work?

@ "The hardest part is getting out of the bag and dressing in the morning when you’re so dang comfy."
😁I know. Need to kick myself harder every year to make that happen! 🤭
So how far out front of the shelter should you put the fire???
you can call that a revers plow point .
nice, IF you use a Sibieran ifre lay n front of it, with tis one way projected heat letting you keep the fire twice as far away from your fabris and having much less popping embers in the first place. I use a couple of alternative Swedish fire torches to ignite the siberian when all is wet. Keep at least one swede dry, inside of your shelter or make a little primitive shelter for them nearbiy.

Where do you get or what type tarp do you use? Average cost for 10x10?

What makes it a bushcraft shelter?
Would you 9x9 work as I’m 6.1

Great setup! I wish i could be in the great outdoors doing this instead of being in this plant! Either the greenhorns mess up the machines and takes my maintenance all day fix or somebody calls in sick!!! Being in the woods heals just about anything

That looks like a heavy tarp to carry
Not for MR.MANLY!
Need a $250 coal cracker wool blanket 😅
Finally. Bushcraft you can buy.

Where is the fire?
