A very useful tarp configuration. Thumbs up.

[@Taromovies]

Thanks Lonnie👍

[@nathanhaley7901]

I miss your content. You were such an inspiration to many of us, plus a truly wonderful gentleman

[@Taromovies]

Thanks so much for your very kind words🙏 I would love to produce videos again, hopefully there will be time and motivation again in the near future, wish you all the best, Taro

[@HAYAOLEONE]

👍 old school works!
With multiple triangles we can make a 'tipi' shelter around a tree top.

[@Taromovies]

Absolutely, thanks for watching and your comment

[@joeyt684]

A light went on when i saw your tarp setup. Just perfect. Thank you.

[@Taromovies]

Thanks so much Joe!!!

Cooles Setup und coole Knoten lieber Taro! Hattest du auch letztens im bergtierpark glaube ich. Danke fürs zeigen! LG Sepp

H lieber Sepp, wollte ich auch dort schon filmen, aber die Zeit mit Euch war mir wichtiger 👍

[@thomasbolin7447]

Taro is one of the VERY few youtubers my GF will watch with me, always such great information and presentation!!

[@Taromovies]

Many thanks for your very kind comment Thomas 🙏👍

[@mpmansell]

I also use this configuration, using a bi-pod in locations where I expect the wind will not cause problems and I want an unobstructed view. I've spent some amazing evenings, nights, and mornings like this. If using a fire, though, I usually light the fire and let it build up a large ember bed with few flames before raising the tarp so as to reduce the risk of spark damage to the tarp and other equipment. I've found that some sizeable logs can then be added to this without much risk of large flames through the night. I really need to see if a Siberian lay will work better, but not done so, yet :)

[@Taromovies]

Thanks for you response Mark, yes with the fire and ember makes sense, so you at least a little support during the night and with this open setup no problems with nitrogen, safety is the reason why I use a fire box for it, good to control, to move if I have too, warm while in cooking, but of course no heat support during the night, all the best, Taro

[@considerthis7680]

It's great to see you back making videos. Beautiful quality as always. For those of us who will never reach those places, it is a nice to have a wilderness guide who makes it seem real, even when you are sitting at a computer.

I’ve been using the Evenk hitch since you showed it in your first knots video. My favorite knot for running to a higher attachment point. The long tail for a quick “slippery” release is genius. Thank you once again for sharing your skills and experience. With much gratitude from the United States.

[@albertoplebani77]

Hi Taro, very interesting setup. I'm a little concerned with tarp setup near o a tree since i'm afraid of widow makers, but to be honest, i think i will try it soon. Anyhow, thank you very much for being here with another interesting and well done video. I still remember one fo your older videos (Solo Mountain Overnight in a Deep Winter Dream/HD Bushcraft Survival Video) as one of the best emotional and moving bushcraft videos ever!

[@Taromovies]

Hi Alberto, first of all thanks for your support over such a long time 👍🙏 and yes it’s an important point to check the trees first, is so naturally for me that I forgot to it to mention, if there is any danger you can use two poles in Front to tighten the tarp corner and one at the back for the loop of the tarp center, have a great weekend. Taro

[@gebirgswasser4617]

Hallo Taro, vielen Dank für das zeigen des Tarp-Setups.
Meine Erfahrungen nach müsste man erst über das Wetter ansich diskutieren,😃 um überhaupt Verständnis für ein Tarpaufbau zu bekommen.
Wovor möcht ich mich draussen schützen? Ein paar Regentropfen? Werden die dann aber bald zu einem Regenguss? Dreht der Wind in der Nacht.
Das sind Dinge die bedacht werden müssen, meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach. Ich sehe leider wenige Tarpvarianten die im Regen vorgestellt werden. Das fehlt mir bei den meisten Vorstellungen.
Deswegen fände ich es toll, wenn Du Deine Erfahrungen, die Du unbestritten hast, mal im Regen, Sturm...mit einer schlecht-Wetter- Variante zeigen könntest.
Viele Grüße lieber Taro aus Kochel am See
Sven

[@Taromovies]

Hallo Sven, ja da hast Du natürlich recht, diese Aufbauvariante empfehle speziell für Bushcraft-Aktivitäten, ein geschützter Platz der genug Raum für Bewegung, Kochen, Schnitzten, Schlafen etc. bietet und keine Notunterkunft zum Schutz für extreme Wetterbedingungen darstellt aber auch für Regenwetter gut geeignet ist, ich hoffe wieder mehr Zeit für neuen Videos zu haben und werde Deinen Input gerne aufnehmen, LG und einen schönen Sonntag, Taro

Thanks for your kind comment, everybody has his favorite knots and I’m sure he knows some I don’t use, so learning from each other is the key 👍

[@davemcmahon8140]

👍 so now I can see how you made your improvised overnight winter tarp tent. I was thinking you folded the back edge but you took the 2nd loop on each side. I will try this tarp layout because I camp on my motorbike and the large front opening will afford a bit of protection for my BMW. Nice 👌 david

[@Taromovies]

Hi Dave, thanks for your kind response, yes that seems like a good idea, your bike is a little protected and yourself too, hope it works, wish you fun by trying, Taro

[@clivenewton7609]

Hi Taro! Nice to see you back with another “masterclass” in tarpology, much appreciated 👍 my only concern is the amount of sparks flying from the Firebox were there any problems with burn holes in the tarp? Kind regards as always from deepest Dorset England 👍

[@Taromovies]

Hi Clive, that’s why I use a fire box and no larger campfire, the higher end of the tarp is high enough, the fire box is easy to move if wind is changing, it needs a bit more attention when you start the fire, but later with a good ember there are less sparks, never had problems but of course you have to take care, kind regards. Taro

[@carloscalfi5255]

Danke Taro. Sehr gut una klar erklaert.

Danke an Dich Carlo, ja es ist ein 3x3meter DD Taro, LG aus Obwalden

[@KettleCamping]

I really like this tarp setup. Almost like a three face shelter. It does very well with the firebox as it creates a heat bubble like you mentioned. I really enjoy your videos! Thanks 👍

[@Taromovies]

Hi Taro, this setup is amazing, I’ve tried it and now it has become the new “standard” for me and my family when out in the bushes. Thank you for sharing! Best regards

Hi Sam, i'm really happy to to heat that, feedbacks like your's are still my main motivation to carry on here on youtube, all the best to you and yours, Taro

I've ordered a cheap light-weight (~ish) 3x3 tarp with reflective inside, and will try out this setup - also inspired by your video on the reflective tarp! - in the "winter", as much as we get here in "Südschweden".

[@Taromovies]

Oh that sounds good, the reflection will be a great benefit, may I ask what kind of brand Ulf ? I’m looking for this 3x3 size with a reflection coating already for a long time

[@umollerstrom]

@@Taromovies I got the tarp from Amazon - with out silver coating! I'll hope for better luck next time...

[@Taromovies]

@@umollerstrom oh sorry to hear that, yes hopefully more luck next time, please let me know if you find something

[@andrelaschet3957]

I like it. I’m a big fan of the plow point. So , that’s kinda a fancy brother of it. My favourite setup still is the Gunyah. It’s a shelter by „Scotty’s gone walkabouts“ that he describes in his video „5 unique tarp shelter“. I encourage everyone to look it up. And while you are there: he shows really beautiful Australian landscapes

[@Taromovies]

Thanks for your response Andre and the hint, going to check it out, Taro

[@patrickwahl6321]

Perfekt 👍

[@Taromovies]

Thanks Patrick

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Taro I’ve done the plough point before but not with your triangle back portion which gives the little ground sheet.

[@Taromovies]

Hi Martin, thanks for your comment, I prefer this setup not because this little ground sheet which is for sure useful, it’s because I takes less space at the ground, more head space and a back wall which reflects heat much better, wish you a great weekend, Taro

[@dazinthesticks]

Hello Taro great video , it's been a long time since I pitched a tarp , to busy training the body lol , but your videos always inspire . Thanks for for taking the time. Take care . Good health to you and your family . Atb Darren

[@elduendeoscuro]

I thought you would use the plough point tarp shelter, you have surprised me because I did not know this configuration, I have to try it

[@Taromovies]

Thanks for your response, the plough point setup needs more ground space and the angle is lower so less head space, this kind gives you also a better heat reflection because of the closer and steeper back, wish you fun by trying

[@georgemelendez356]

Great tarp setup, almost hard to believe it's just 3x3 m - looks bigger. When you tie up the cordage on the tree, how do you prevent water running down inside your tarp, in case of rain?
Great video @Taro 👍

[@Taromovies]

Hi Gina, thanks for stopping by, do you mean rain water form the tree connection? Never had problems with it except it’s very stormy and the rain and wind comes to the front, but then I just change the setup, in my latest video it was raining and I use the same setup, please check it out and don’t hesitate to ask again, take care, Taro
