  • Learn how to set up this easy but very useful tarp shelter. Just a standard square tarp is required. The entire tarp is used as is with no cutting, sewing or gluing required. This awesome shelter is especially useful with a fire in front. In this video I am using a 12 foot X 12 foot nylon Polyurethane coated waterproof tarp.

    Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
    Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
    I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

    Almost like the baker's tent I used in Boy Scouts, back in the day when they were a good organization. It is also very similar to the classic Adirondack tarp shelter. Great stuff as always, keep up the good work!

    I appreciate that it was done with just a standard tarp. A lot of guys put up tarp shelter tutorials, and they tend to use tarps that you can't just find anywhere.

    I have used this configuration and its variations for years and love it. You can play with different attachment points for the ridgeline or poles. In foul weather I don't go all the way back to the halfway point but attach at the next grommet closer to the "porch" corner. It gives me a deeper shelter. I also angle the porch corner downward a little to shed water better.

    We used Presiks for tying off tarps to Pipe Staging, where weather is a factor / remodeling large buildings, etc,,,. We'd get a bag full of 250 or 500 of them... Elastic cords, just like you have , with a plastic ball attached to one end of the circle or w/o the ball. Great for tying electrical cords together etc, all kinds of uses, today I learned one more way from you Lonnie & Connie, Thank you ,, great idea and show you have here.

    Well explained Lonnie. I wonder how it could work with a rectangular tarp? May have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  6 лет назад

      Thanks for watching my friend. I do not think that this would work with a rectangular tarp unless teh extra end length was folded over to turn the rectangular tarp into a square tarp and tarp grippers of some sort on the new "edge" were used to replace the grommets on the old edge. Not only will the front "awning" be off centered if using a rectangular tarp but i believe that one sidewall edge would not reach the ground. Of course, one could use a slanted roof line to overcome that problem so that both wall edges would reach the ground properly. The front to back shelter depth distance may be different on both sides as well but I'm not sure on that. In other words, I do believe that a rectangular tarp could be made to work but it would definitely not be symmetrical unless it was artificially made into a square tarp beforehand. If you do happen to give this a go and document the results via video on your channel I would be interested to see what you end up with. Don't feel like you need to do it on my account but just saying if you happen to do it, it will be interesting to see what you end up with.
