Tarp Setups for Hammock Camping 🌳 The Ultimate Tarpology Guide! All the Configurations You Need! 🌲

- All the tarp configs I use in my adventures, and all the variations to adapt them to the conditions of the day. These tarp set-ups were constructed using the DD Hammocks Superlight Tarp.
I've covered a good range of basics and some more specialist options. However, there are a couple of options I deliberately haven't covered because the configs I've shown surpass the usefulness of those discarded configurations.

The hardest part of any adventure is getting yourself Out of the Door! Almost all of us live busy lives, have other commitments, and have a limit to the funds with which to pursue the adventures we dream of.
But there are so many adventures that can be accessible to us if we just get Out that Door and make a start.
You don't need the latest and most fancy equipment, you don't need a huge bank balance, you don't need superhuman abilities and you don't need weeks of free time!
There are so many adventures, not far from where you live, that require only the the most basic equipment and that may only take a few hours - the rewards of getting Out that Door are waiting for you!
Equipment I use (note - it's all good quality gear, but in most cases, not the most expensive option; fun doesn't need to be super expensive!):

Glad you liked it!
Nice gentle and simple presentation ..thanks ..much appreciated. Bill in Devon
Thank you kindly! Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
That was really helpful; thank you! Seeing hammock tents on RUclips, I've always wondered how they are done. It's so easy now you've explained it!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your adventures!
Brilliant tute, subbed and binging.🤘
Awesome, thank you!
Nice shelters with the hammock. Thanks for showing us and take care.
Thanks, you too!
Thanks mate, excellent explanations. Like the sheet bend option on the guy lines 👍🏼
Thanks. I find the sheet bend perfect for guy lines.
I like using bigger tarps. I don't like using tarps that just barely cover a hammock. I know you can make them work in harsh weather because I've done it, but ultimately I feel it makes for a claustrophobic experience; too much like a tent for my taste. I like hammocks not just for comfort but also because of the exposure.
I use a 12x10 tarp and tend to go for a lifted A frame for 3 season uses; essentially a mainly flat hanging tarp with little run off and full 360degree views. Typically I tie out the corners to other trees to keep all the lines above head height. I don't like using stakes and rocks unless I have no alternatives. In driving rain I just bring down the corners and maybe add a couple mid point tie outs for wind. I typically put the tarp ridge-line 1-2 feet above my hammock ridge-line.
Then in the winter, I use an A frame with the corners pulled in for doors, using a 14x12 foot tarp that has a tun of tie-outs for pulling walls out and away from the me. I've even added a hot stove jack in a tarp to turn it into a hot-tent. Works decently. I've had it around 3C internal temp with -22C outside before. It's not air tight but makes a big difference. This one I'll set only a few inches above my hammock ridge-line, digging it into some snow if it's an option, thus letting me essentially have walls right down to the ground.
Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of a hot tent, have seen video of a few people using them on RUclips; would like to try that in the winter!
Great description of hammock tarp set ups, deserves more views. Am doing much the same thing on my channel, though five or six weeks behind you.
Thanks, will check out your channel!
I camp in a hammock for the comfort , ventilation and the ability of laying in it and being able to look around. The Diamond is easy to do , quick to set up and offers ventilation and the ability to look around 360 degrees. As you said , it only requires 2 ground stakes. The side benefit it it also keeps you dry in a good rain storm. My rain fly is a 12 x 10 and has 14 perimeter tie outs , two tie outs in the center of each side and two end tie outs. It can be set up in any configuration.
Yeah the diamond is pretty versatile! Sounds like you have a great setup; hope you have some great adventures!
@@outthedooradventure Had 77 years worth so far , looking forward to 77 more. 🙂
I hope you do! 😊
Great tips, thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated!
if you rotate the winter setup by 90 degrees, you get guy out points on the sides. Pegging those out (especially to a tree or via a branch) will give you more room inside.
That's a great tip, thanks. Though a smaller area does warm up more; but definitely worth considering.
very informative thank u
Glad it was helpful, thank you for the comment!
Excellent.
Thanks
Similarly to you, I also prefer hang my tarps under the ridge line to prevent chaffing. I even do this with my Aquaquest Defender tarps. Even the toughest of tarps eventually will get worn through if you regularly set them up hanging over the ridge line in windy conditions. I might make an exception to hanging my tarp under the ridge line with a canvas tarp, but even then, if there are ridge line tie outs, why not use them?
Yeah, I agree - it seems the best way to me.
OK, hammock tent is a setup I've never thought about before and I can attest it's superb for sleeping in a double hammock with your girlfriend. 👍
Sounds great!
