    Let me know what your favourite tarp shelter set up is?

      Bungalow with the raised corner, great video.

      Each pitch here is a work of art. I only ever use single pole pyramid tarps though, for quick pitching and weight savings

      @hikerinaustralia 3 года назад +2

      Great video mate. I tend to go with the trusty tarp tent setup. Although I've been meaning to give your 'Gunyah' setup a go.
      Those Alton Goods 3x3 are just about the perfect tarp. So many tie outs with so many setup options!

      Well done man, I was almost not going to watch cause I didn't think it would be all that interesting, but that was pretty cool and I'm about to pull the trigger on an Alton goods tarp.
      I hope you are keeping safe over there mate, and when you come out of lockdown I'd really love to see a few old school multi day hiking/survival trips with map and compass navigation, comparing where you nav with the map and where you end up on GPS in post. Maybe chuck in a bit more first person view of traversing some of the sections for a more immersive feel.
      And if you get adventurous it would be awesome if you did some 360 VR vids. There's a video of two guys hiking in to the Colorado river on Oculus videos and then using inflatable rafts to head down the river. It's one of the most immersive outdoors vids I've seen. If you have access to a Quest 2 you should be able to find it. Just some ideas to keep in fresh in parallel with what you are doing. You're a national treasure mate. Love your work. Dead Set Legend.

    I grabbed some paper and made origami tarps as I watched :) It's an easy way to compare the inside space when they're all set up in front of you. The Gunya setup looks easy to raise and swap between open & closed up.

  • @dandeleona4760
    @dandeleona4760 2 года назад +2

    Just love a tarp shelter. Great for us guys here in the UK where we don't have to worry about to many critters. For ground dwelling, my favourite has got to be a really simple plough point. Great little shelter. Fantastic video mate and some really interesting set ups. Hope that you guys get out of lockdown soon and back out to do your thing. Atb, J 👍.

    I’m a recent viewer to your channel and have been doing a lot of catch up from about 3 years ago. I was hooked from the start. I love your passion and empathy for your surroundings and the environment. My husband hates camping so I live my dreams through your videos. Not a huge fan of fishing but love all other aspects of your hikes. Many thanks for keeping us truly entertained. Dorset, UK

  • @kentlburgess
    @kentlburgess 2 года назад +1

    Thanks Scotty for this clear video. I’ve watched it three times to help me decide whether I can jump to a tarp set up. The gunyah looks great. Tarp life post lockdown for sure.

  • @wisenber
    @wisenber 2 года назад +3

    I've used a version of the "tarp tent" pitch (used to poles at the doorway instead of one) on an exposed bald in the aftermath of a hurricane with 70 mph gusts. Many of the conventional tents were flattened that night, yet my basic tarp was fine.

  • @eucabrooks
    @eucabrooks 2 года назад

    Your pacing and presentation is fantastic, too. Your instructions are clear and concise, with only as many words as needed.

    I love your videos and I love the fact that you show everyone that tarps are a good choice for shelter. When I am with my dog, I prefer a tarp shelter. I just anchor her lease to the ground and we have all the room and air flow that is available.

  • @bryanquick3349
    @bryanquick3349 3 года назад +1

    useful guides! the first one is definitely my favorite, you don't need to muss around too much to set it up, it's roomy, and it doesn't require too many tie-up points

  • @jimmyroberson7843
    @jimmyroberson7843 3 года назад +1

    Just came across your channel after one of my subs recommended you - I’ve just done a tarp video too - great minds! Love those setups mate, not seen that first one before, looks really versatile and adaptable when the weather turns! Lovely video, really enjoyed it! 👊👍

  • @tonylloyd5077
    @tonylloyd5077 2 года назад +1

    Camped under a Hootchie while in the Army.
    Pros - lightweight, versatile
    Cons - Mozzies, Sandflies, Bull Ants, Centipedes and an over-curious King Brown.
    Used a lightweight tent ever since but cudos to those who persist with Tarp Camping.

  • @adamiam7556
    @adamiam7556 3 года назад +1

    Really interesting. I tarp camp all the time, and have never seen any of these except the tarp tent. Scotty always has the most interesting tarp configurations. My personal favorite is the tarp tent, but I also like Plow Point and Adarondack.

  • @jeanwatson189
    @jeanwatson189 3 года назад +6

    I like having a tarp for its versatility, but I tend to use it for a shade awning, wind shield, rain fly, ground sheet or emergency shelter (never actually had that kind of emergency yet!) rather than as a primary shelter. If you've hiked in a place where it rains a LOT, it's great to quickly string one up to eat lunch and have a proper rest under. I'm interested in getting a bug tent to combine with a tarp, though, for summer camping - the ventilation would be so much better than a tent.

    • @maxsparks5183
      @maxsparks5183 Год назад

      Why would you camp at all in the summer heat and mosquitos? I truly don’t get it. If it’s not cold, this southern man isn’t sleeping outside voluntarily.

  • @CampfireKodiak
    @CampfireKodiak 3 года назад +1

    Great ideas! The problem with a forked stick and toggle is you cannot easily adjust the height. I use a straight stick with simple slip knot and the line tension will keep it in place. This way you can quickly adjust the height. The trick is to use a bowline knot at the tarp so you can tuck the line through the loop and hook it over the end of the stick.

      @billyaitken1713 3 года назад +5

      Place a small round stone on the outside of the tarp, on the inside wind paracord around the stone and tie one end off (securing the stone to the tarp , but leaving you a length of cord hanging down on the inside). Then you have a tie-up point for a mosquito net.
