I was a nomad in the 80s and raced my nova across the country for food and gas and this was the tarp setup I used when I found a wooded area. Haven't seen anybody do this setup in ages. Thanks for sharing this man. Brought back some good memories.
I'm a big Chevy fan add an El Camino with a Chevelle front end always wanted A nova I had Edelbrock RPM series camel hump heads roller rocker rocker arms Comp Cam MSD ignition, high-rise manifold, flowtech headers, Cactus Radiator Summit Racing gear rims a stall converter on my t 400 automatic transmission an electric fuel pump some other little things here and there lighter weight But Metal quarter panels Hood there was so much fun
I used your instructions to make a tarp tent on a 3 nite hike and it worked flawlessly. The flaps can be carabinered together instead of staked back to keep the cold out too.
I'm shocked how easy it actually is to build this. I was on the fence between buying a 2-person tent or a 4.5x3m tarp. I'm getting the tarp for sure now!
Thanks so much for doing this video, its excellent. I bought a 4.5 x 3 meter tarp from DD a while ago and have not found a video like this one that does treking sticks for this size tarp. Cheers.
This is great. I like using my tarp, but did not know how to build a tent in this manner. Your instructions are spot-on. I keep hoping your sub's start adding up. Your video's are as good as other's with thousands of subscriptions. Take it easy. From Colorado, Roger.
Thanks, it's amazing what you can do with such a simple thing, I've got some other setups I will show on future vids! And although more subs would be nice, I'm not in it for the money, I'm in it for the love of the outdoors and as a kind of video diary 📹❤️ thankyou for your kind words. Regards WW
@@WilkoWild "And although more subs would be nice, I'm not in it for the money, I'm in it for the love of the outdoors". You are in it for the right reasons my friend. Be well.
Great video, thank you for sharing. Can you show some fully enclosed options aswell for when the weather is really bad or the insects are really bad please?
There are so many options with a tarp and this was the best I've seen. You also explained very clearly, what is good for me because I am thick haha. I'm probably going to try this today. 😊
I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. For me, looks like quick and easy best option. I may try added hammock fly to cover front opening for sleeping. (I've subscribed)
That's awesome! I am, however, concerned with the tip of the trekking pole directly on the tarp floor. Shouldn't there be a folded sock or something to keep the tip from contact and possible tarp damage?
@@NikosAnimals watch further into the video, he places the pointy end onto the floor of the tarp to extend floor space. A folded sock, or even a couple pieces of bark, would fix a possible hole in the tarp.
You could leave the bottom unpegged , put your pack/boots/etc. in front of the Pole and pull the tarp up over it for more protection in case of rain. Nice set up.
I like your design. Would it work to have two thirds of the length on top. One third, and the front inside corners, as ground sheet? Giving more space overall. While not extending out into the rain.
Bloody ripped mate....well done....I live in the tropics in Northern Australia and am ambiguous as to the value of a tarp type set up because of the mosquito issue we have here.....but this was good nonetheless!
Ah man what have you done I've ordered another tarp!!! Love the groundsheet though gotta be done sometimes. The Mrs will be much happier now 😄 👍 great video 👊
Nice vid.. I'd like to see if this setup could be adjusted in some way could be altered, so the side flaps ( where you came into second tie out)...could be drawn together when wanted to form some kind of door covering...just carabineer clip them. I'm using the DD M Tarp so bit smaller
Thats a great Idea mate. Seen loads TARP TENT with the 3x3 but never with the bigger one. I suspect you've just forced me to buy a bigger tarp. Thanks for the upload. Subbed! Greetings from Ibiza.
Hiya, it never puts a hole in the tarp, these tarps are very strong. My pole doesn't have a spikey end it's like a rubber foot on it which helps. Cheers
Only modification I'd make is to move the starting points back a bit either to the next holes or use clips to go about halfway, this then pulls back excess ground sheet while creating more space and more material to close it up further. But you may be left with 50% floor, which is almost as good as no floor
@@tiltil9442 any of the pitches where the edges touch the ground I get too much. When sides are tucked under to make floor I get even more... So yes REALLY!

Never seen a tarp tent set up with a rectangular tarp. Darned nice!

Good video well explained, I could listen to this guy speak all day , to me he has a similar voice to John Lennon when he spoke.
Best explanations on how to set a tarptent on UA-cam , great ! Thanks !
Thanks buddy, glad to help! Kind regards Ben
Thank you for going into details and showing where to stake it down
This guide to be seen of hiw to avoid cost in purchase of expensive thing is a life saving one... Great video.... 👏👏👏👏👏

Best tarp shelter i've looked at
Thats wonderful 👍🏼 I cant believe how simple set up this is yet I couldn't see it 😫 Thanks.
Just put this up in my garden in sunny Chesterfield. Great video. Thanks
Nice 😀! Not gonna lie, this is way better than the Army ground sheet/ hooch shelter method I was taught elsewhere. No need for 2 trees! 😀.

Great video, can’t wait to test it out in the field 👍🏻🌲
Thanks buddy, hope it all goes well for you... Very quick and easy setup 👍🏕️ regards Ben..

Love this. Thanks for sharing. And your dog is dem cute. Thanks for including him.
Nice job there! Thank you, I'm always looking for new ways to set up my tarp✌️

A tennis ball would sort that out....
Good job
Good point!! 👍
it’s on th eground

Great setup!! I’m trying that as soon as the snow melts!!
Wow. Thank you. Been looking for this for ages. Much appreciated. 👍😊
Nicely done. 👍❤️😇
Excellent work friend👍
Great tutorial video thanks for sharing im definitely getting one of those tarps. Keep up the good work brother 👍
Cheers buddy, glad it helped. Regards Ben
Awsome! Thanks :) Greetings from Poland!
Very nice, going to try this one. Just have to recheck vids on knots😁
I like your design.
Would it work to have two thirds of the length on top.
One third, and the front inside corners, as ground sheet?

Nicely presented and subscribed 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice im going to try this this afternoon
Perfect! Great tutorial! Subscribed!

Super good video! I feel like I can do this. Headed to buy a tarp!! Thanks for sharing.
Great video, so well explained. Thanks for sharing.
ATB, Dave 👍
Nice “PUP” tent .
Great video, just what I needed to see thanks for that will help me on my next bike trip
Ah man what have you done I've ordered another tarp!!! Love the groundsheet though gotta be done sometimes. The Mrs will be much happier now 😄 👍 great video 👊
🇫🇷👍Vraiment TRÈS Génial cette configuration
Cela nécessite beaucoup de sardines apparemment
Mais à la fin c'est nickel comme abris !!! 👍👍😍😉🙂😃😃👍👍
Well done. Thanks!
No problem, always good to share the knowledge 💪🏕️ regards Ben
Thats very impressive
Awesome setup.
Hello brother, I from Indonesia I like your vidios🔥💯
the best presentation
It's a great setup to use nice job mate atvb jimmy 😎😎
It sure is mate, and thankyou, same to you 👍👍
Nice video.
Nice. One sir
Very good info thanks!
Excellent buddy
Great setup. Just one question... does the base of the trecking pole not puncture the tarp?
Pretty nice. Will an 8' x 10' tarp work as well?
I have two 10'x10' tarps but have a couple 8x10's and a 10'x12' as well.
It's beautiful
Nice one bro!
Nice 1 mate will try that out .... perfect - just subbed
Atb 👍🏽
Nice vid.. I'd like to see if this setup could be adjusted in some way could be altered, so the side flaps ( where you came into second tie out)...could be drawn together when wanted to form some kind of door covering...just carabineer clip them. I'm using the DD M Tarp so bit smaller
Yes I've had a play around and can get it near enough closed whilst keeping everything else taught 👍 kind regards Ben
@@WilkoWild I've done the pyramid, where you get a large loose flap...so I imagine a hybrid between the two will get there. Cheers. Subbed
I would think so buddy there's always a way! 💪😂
Thats a great Idea mate. Seen loads TARP TENT with the 3x3 but never with the bigger one. I suspect you've just forced me to buy a bigger tarp. Thanks for the upload. Subbed! Greetings from Ibiza.
Hiya David, glad it's helped matey, and haha sorry about that 😂 atb Ben
Brilliant mate 👍
Muy bien ese refugio, saludos desde México.
Very nice 👍
Very nice
Nice job thank you
No problem, hope it comes in handy for you, regards WW
Good show thanks
Outstanding!
I have a 5x5 tarp, a huge one. I wonder if it's works the same. Thanks
Does your pole have some sort of rubber tip? Mine are sharp and would pierce the ground sheet.
Good... vidio brother...
Very good info thanks!
how you cover the door when the rains coming brother?
it's verry good.👍👍👍
We did this Saturday night but with a 3mx2.6m tarp
A tennis ball with a slit in it for the end of the centre pole, to avoid breaking the canvas maybe ?
Love it!
Wonder if I can squish one of those and a hammock into a rocket pouch...
Would 3x3 still work the same?
I want to make a tent for beach use with two canvas tarps
What would you recommend
Enjoyed the video. Just one question, what did you do about the hole your walking pole made in your tarp/groundsheet ?
Hiya, it never puts a hole in the tarp, these tarps are very strong. My pole doesn't have a spikey end it's like a rubber foot on it which helps. Cheers
Sorry fella. Didn't notice the foot on your pole. Great video though.
Genious ❤
which tarp size do you like best?
Thanks bro
nice great 👌
There is a way to use a tarp and fully enclose the tarp. Three sides.
Thx for you
what is the matirial of the tent clothe
where can i find this canvas
anyway to make this more insect proof?
I'd try this when I get my tarp, noob question. How's the condensation on this?
Yes, good point, I too would like to know if there are any condensation issues with tarp set ups.
@@gordonmonaghan133 I use my tarp in this exact configuration, not condensation since the opening allows for plenty of ventilation
I love this set up but I paid way to much money for my tarp to use it as a ground sheet.
howvmich
Mantap 👍
Спасибо за четкий рассказ 👍
Only modification I'd make is to move the starting points back a bit either to the next holes or use clips to go about halfway, this then pulls back excess ground sheet while creating more space and more material to close it up further.

Keep it taught
Who ever reading this I pray you are happy and get extremely successful in life...

What size is a 4.5 x3 tarp
In metres buddy 👍
About 10’ x 15’.
Ummmm 4.5 x 3....??????????????
Where's the floor,it's supposed to have a floor
Super video und über ein Abo von dir würde ich mich sehr freuen wenn du mir auch was schreiben würdest
Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte und Ihre Unterstützung. Ich werde mir Ihre ansehen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen WW
@@WilkoWild vielen Dank
I find too much condensation with this
Do you REALLY?!?
@@tiltil9442 erm...YES!!! Don't believe me?
@@tiltil9442 any of the pitches where the edges touch the ground I get too much. When sides are tucked under to make floor I get even more... So yes REALLY!
Why TF would somebody come on here to lie about getting condensation? What a stupid question.
