Lol! Did I hear "tabarnaque" lol! It' a very nice setup, will be trying that next time. Got a German Short Hait Pointer mixed 50/50 with a Vizslas, man that dog is too intelligent for it's own damn good!Great content, keep up the good work!
That's a nice set up . Did the same thing with trekking poles . Looks better on a ridge line . Didn't know it was called a foresters tent . Take care bud 🏕
I really enjoyed your video. I just bought 2 3x3 tarps from DD . I am going to use my tarp over my MSR tent so I don’t have to use rain fly I live in Florida and it’s hellish hot. But here we can’t bushcraft because of ants and mosquitoes.
one thing i have learned over the yrs tent camping is too add a extra tarp cover over the tent w rainfly setup under it. considering some of the new tents are just skeeter cloth on the top may have to double up on the extra tarps. like having 3 layers of roof between me and rain.
Very informative video. I use this setup using the end tie offs when I'm setting up for a hammock. That allows for enough length to hang the hammock underneath, while still allowing you to close the doors on both ends. In order for the doors to close completely with the "hammock variation", you have to hang the ridge-line higher to create a steeper angle which allows the doors to overlap slightly at the bottom while leaving a small opening at the top to allow the hammock straps to pass through for hanging your hammock.
Nice job. I work with families on emergency preparedness, and I'd love to see more demos of tarp layouts designed to accommodate more people. The design in this video looks like it could easily be adapted to use two tarps that overlap in the center. Each tarp then provides an "end" or door, and the other end of the tarp is wide open where it overlaps with its mate.
I like your use of a prussic knot with the carabiner on the free end so you can clip it onto your tarps center loops without having to go to the trouble of tying knots. Thanks for teaching me that today.👍
Yes, it's a good method. If you don't have the carabiner you can use the same prusik loops with a toggle (small stick) instead. Put the prusik loop through the tarp's loop, then run the toggle through the prusik loop and pull it tight. I hope I've explained this well enough to be understood.
Doing this with a 3x3 works pretty well, but if youre over maybe 5'6" or so, youll struggle to lay down in it without curling up or laying diagonally. A 4x4 would be ideal. I did to a slightly modified verson of this setup with a 10'×15' on a trip maybe 2 weeks ago. (tie out spacing on the long ends screws everything up), turned out alright. I was dry, I got some sleep, there was plenty of room inside, pretty easy setup once you know what you're doing.
I keep looking at that. With a quarter of 3meters folded over on each end. Leaves a pretty short space inside. For one person diagonally, ok, but for two? Would a 3x4 m tarp be better? Also, on the bc Coast, the ground is usually wet. Then you add a ground sheet. We are getting to a tent, set up.
G'day from Australia. I'm trying to improvise a lightweight, flexible tyvek tarp to go with our dd aframe "2p" 🤣🤣🤣 mesh tent. Any ideas or insights are very welcome. Is is for lightweight use when hiking/backpacking.
Greetings, Have you reviewed, tried, used, employed, set up, experienced, seen, heard of, an Aqua Quest Defender tarp? What are your thoughts? I LOVE my DD 4x4s I have 3 of them I am not sure why? The DD 4x4s are lighter than my 10x10 or 3x3 for your sake Defender. I Super enjoy your videos by the way.
I think you should have had a few goes at putting it up before you filmed it and posting it. Also it would be great if you were 4ft 3in tall. Or if you had a chair to sit in. But A for effort.
So you are 5’7” and there is enough space to lay down? If so that’s a great set up I’m only 5’6” so if you fit I should. I’m just about to order a DD tarp and will try this out. Have other tarps but want one with all the extra attachment points for creative setups.
Dd 3 x3 tarps are great , I can't remember if I could lie straight in this or corner to corner, but you could always just make the ends less square to fit in straight
@@RedBranchBushcraft thank you for this video :) I'm just getting into tarpology here in Denmark and This set up looks really nice And functional :) Would you also recommend the XL size, or does a tarp that Big become unwieldy and tricky for a newbie? Because I was thinking that extra length might be quite handy when closing it of on both sides 🤔 Best regards from DK! :) Claus
Great video thank you very much for the idea. very handy when it comes to bad weather. Endurance room is an outstanding channel. He uses Palos plosh Polacca, and Polish lavvu primarily.
This tarp configuration has some limitations if one is using it as a true over night shelter rather than as a temporary shelter. The main issue with trying to rely on it as an over night shelter in foul weather is if there is a heavy rain and any slope to your site, there is the possibility the water running off the side of the shelter will make its way underneath and into your dry area.
@@wolf1393 Yes trenching around the tarp shelter will stop water from running under the tarp after it rolls down the sides. However some sites such as campgrounds will not allow trenching around the tarp shelter either because of the site’s condition or park policies or both.
What i mean is, i would never want to be touching the tarp when sleeping (condensation etc). With this one fully closed, there's no room to stretch out, obviously.
Clever and a good thing to know, but you still can’t hide from Bruno. Thanks 👍🏻

Excellent stuff David, glad I could help
Nice one... always enjoy tarp as you never know how you have to pitch after a day on the road.
Use it months in a row on my adventures
Their very handy
I like this! Would be good with one closed end and the other end nice and open with a fire in front. I get the willies when I've got two open ends 😂

Quite like that set up also. Nice way to help my smaller boy transition from tent to tarp camping.
That's a great idea
Love these
Excellent
I’m going to use this style tarp tent tonight. Thanks for the idea 🍻
What/how are you using/keeping the two bungee cords taught/secure to the ridge line? I see the two carabiners on the tarp loops. Thanks, mate.
No bungies , I'm using prussik knots
@@RedBranchBushcraft Learn something new everyday. Cheers!
@hawkeye31k keep an eye on the channel, I've a video out Sunday where I go into detail about tarp setups
Loving this tarpology series
Thanks, I'm glad you like it
That is an awesome setup. Would work almost anywhere, thanks for showing it.
No problem, thanks for watching
Thankyou.
My pleasure
I keep looking at that. With a quarter of 3meters folded over on each end. Leaves a pretty short space inside.
For one person diagonally, ok, but for two?
Would a 3x4 m tarp be better?
Also, on the bc Coast, the ground is usually wet.
Then you add a ground sheet. We are getting to a tent, set up.
I'm short so it fits me but you can try a 4x4 tarp, works great
@@RedBranchBushcraft Yes, I'd like to cary an emergency tarp setup. For longer day hikes. We lose cell reception, about two k into the mountains.
@billpetersen298 tarps are excellent, I've a full playlist there with loads of different setups
Its a good job its a tree by tree tarp. Perfect for forrest camping 😂

Try getting some tarp clips
Can you buy pre-made ridge lines and if so can you recommend one please ?
im not sure, ive never seen them , their easy enough to make yourself
Looks like a great tarp, would be a good setup for lightweight camping.
it would be great
You need to get a mic for when away from the camera. It would much improve the watching quality. Content is top notch

Would like to see the 1 and 2 tie-out point hexamid tent with ridgeline. Thanks for great videos
No problem Marko
Awesome content mate 👍
Cheers Benny
I'd use this setup more often but I do not trust the central tieouts to be strong enough to hold up against wind and constant tension
Seems strong enough
How do you keep ticks, and chiggers out of your tent when there's no bottom?
We don't have chiggers here, you could lay down a ground sheet
that is great! why haven't I thought of this. Much appreciated!
Glad you liked it buddy
That's amazing 🙀🙀I love it another class vid.
Cheers buddy
What are you sliding in from the ridge line??
Those are prussiks with mini carribiners

Whoa! Comin' in a little hot there buddy. And during pride month, too.
@@N7Tigger lol, my Irish accent
Would a two man tent be able to fit inside this by any chance? 😅
Not with this size tarp, you need a 4x4
Good lookin bird dog my dude. Love a tarp too 👍
Cheers, that's Bruno
You definitely need bruno, coz snakes could creep in the small spaces below the tarp
Lucky we don't have snakes
So you are 5’7” and there is enough space to lay down? If so that’s a great set up I’m only 5’6” so if you fit I should. I’m just about to order a DD tarp and will try this out.

Dd 3 x3 tarps are great , I can't remember if I could lie straight in this or corner to corner, but you could always just make the ends less square to fit in straight
3 meters is close to 10 feet. If the sides are 4'x5', you'd have 6'3" at a diagonal.
Perfect

thats true with a lot of tarp setups
That's why you have to have an entrenching tool 🥳
So you can dig a trench around the tent, so rainwater won't come into your dry area.
@@wolf1393 Yes trenching around the tarp shelter will stop water from running under the tarp after it rolls down the sides. However some sites such as campgrounds will not allow trenching around the tarp shelter either because of the site’s condition or park policies or both.

True.
Well, then it's each man for himself in case of rain. Lol

Any time i try any setup, it looks too small for me, they seem roomier in videos ;)

If you don't like sleep, it's ok.
