From on the trail with Matt and Sarah, Matt demonstrates some different tarp set-up options. Featuring a Hyperlite Mountain Gear 10x8 Flat Tarp www.hyperlitemountaingear.com
Thanks for the video Matt. You are the one person who got me off the couch and back into the woods. I am 52 and had to go out on disability at 49 because of a severe truck wreck, I was an over the road driver. So thanks for all the support and help that you gave me that you never knew about. Keep making the videos please.
Rolling up in that tarp reminds me of my Basic Training at Fort Dix. We went to the field and a storm was blowing in all day. That night they would not let us join up our Shelter Halves and said just roll up in them. Canvas will let water through of course if you are touching it as we all know. Right at dark when they turned us loose to set up I managed to find a sort of high spot in the line of Pine trees along our supposed to be Perimeter and had some cord in my pack. I tied one end of my Shelter Half about a foot or a little more off the ground. Just enough to let me crawl in and not looking like much of anything pitched. Threw some Pine Needles and Cones over it as best I could and woke up the next morning after a pretty much all night rain bone dry. Everyone else in the Platoon were soaking wet. I noticed I was being eyed by the Drills and stood out like a sore thumb. I handed my weapon to my buddy next to me and walked over to the nearest mud hole and sat down in it. We all got a much needed laugh out of that, but my getting wet and being as miserable as everyone else was coming whether I cooperated or not. LOL. This was back when they were changing over from the 100% Cotton Fatigues to the new Poly Blend stuff which I hated. Before we would go to the Field they would run us through the Quarter Masters and issue us an old set of the salvaged 100% Cotton ones to keep us from tearing up our new issue I guess. Anyway the same morning as we began our PT I ripped the entire ass end out of those old Cotton Fatigues and had to flap in the breeze for the next couple of days. I wasn't about to complain. That would have cost me dearly. Sorry. Memories are all an old dude has.
When one is so close with the earth, not just in a survival situation, but thriving and in a Spiritual sense, recharging from the energy provided by Gaia and exchanging that energy as Matt clearly does, one is definitely going to be perpetually happy, hopeful, and humming with positive vibrations they draw from the Earth. 😊🙏
Just found the channel, sub'd and liked. Matt, it's great to see you in your element, and excellent filming Sarah. I hope to see a lot more. Thank you brother
cuban fibre is very light but they make that noise like a space blanket.. really impressed to see you on you tube Matt ,finally a series we can watch and NO ADS, not that theres anything wrong with making a buck ,we all need money but im impressed you haven't filled it with ads
Miss you on TV - glad to have found your youtube channel! Thanks for the demonstration. I will be out kayak camping with a tarp this weekend/next week.
Very good video. After spending so much money in backpacking gear for the last 10 years, I am finally using a tarp for a shelter that is dirt cheap. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm and these kind of shelters. God bless you.
Thanks for the tips! This is the first time watching one of your UA-cam vids. I've been a fan of your TV shows. I bought your Condor knife...great design!
You Guys did so well on this Matt that I Shared it with Family. These Videos the two of you have been producing together are really good Buddy! You will always be my Iconic Hero! Thanks and as Always, .. Blessings from Oregon! ... Mike.
Thank you for so many interesting tips. It's first time we watched your video and we are happy that we found you. There is lots we can learn from you. Greetings from Ireland :-)
I just got one of your Condor Knives, and I really love it ... I love this instructional video ... Even if you don't use a tarp, it is still a lesson in the position and set up of any campsite ... He is the Professor ...
Great to see Matt back sharing tips again, was so disappointed that he is no longer on dual survival, I got my tarp from mountain laurel designs, Cuban fiber, quite happy with it
That's a show I don't get tired of at all, so I'm fine with it not ending, especially if it had Matt, Hudson, Terry, Jake, and Tom, and the other professionals... Lol.
Awesome video! When tarp camping in the desert I was able to pile sand around the bottom and keep the wind and cold out. The Earth is a great resource if you know what you’re doing.
just checked the prices on the Hyperlite tarp. Speaking of being high....Brother must be flying at 30,000 feet if he thinks someone is gonna pay THAT price for a tarp. For that price, I can afford to bring 2 people along to build my shelter for me and screw the tarp.
... wow... Thanks Matt !! most of it i knew, but i DID learn some things ( or @ least rekindled old knowledge ; ) So Thanks Again & know you helped an old man of 73. & ya gotta new sub ; )
Great vid Matt👍👍 new sub here! Big fan! Seen your shows, read your book and just realized you have a youtube!! Sick!! Im a new tuber and your vids are a great inspiration!! Thanks man👍👍
Oh snap. Matt Graham! Just found this channel. I like the lean-to. modified lean-to and classic A frame (sometimes grounded other times flying). Sure I will Subscribe!
I go through a new set of tent pegs every year in Algonquin park. Its the canadian shield so its all rock. Anywhere from rock to a couple feet of soul/moss. There's always one peg that won't go in and/or gets bent in the process of finding its place.
Matt, I do not normally disagree with "TV Survival" personalities but, a Mylar Space Blanket in your kit has and will continue to save lives because they do work, especially in a Super Shelter configuration. I will always recommend to carry at least one survival space blanket or even the reusable reflective blankets in your kit. .
i am very surprised to see the likes down this video. to my mind matt is very awesome person cause all things he can do is all about nature first. that is great. i have no more friends man-i-have-mechanic-saw-and-i-am-god-of-woods. the idea of nature usage without damage is really great. so 10+ video is great. as always.
Hey Matt, Thanks for the great video lesson, there! Do you (and Sarah?) have any more content coming anytime soon? Hoping you’re well & looking forward to whatever comes next!
eres increible aprendi muchas cosas contigo,,,,,gracias y sigue asi conectando con la naturalesa que una de las mejores cosas que la viva nos ofrece.....un abrazo enorme !! Ojala una noche poder ver las estrellas junto a ti :*
amazing. thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. I have one request, and that's if you could please zoom the camera in on the knots and ties? Again, thank you!
Thanks for the information. In my opinion I think it would have been more helpful for you to demonstrate on a tarp that someone could buy at a local hardware store. The tarp you used cost 365 dollars. I think that most people would never spend that much money for a tarp.
Matt olá , meu nome é Breno, sou um grande fã de você, faz muito tempo que assisto seus vídeos irmão, Mat e Joe eu amo essa dupla do desafio em dose dupla ! São os melhores.. Deus abençoe sua vida Mat Graham..
Great video, thanks! Do you think you could do a quick tutorial on how to tie the ropes to the tabs? I couldn't see how you made them so they were easy to move, but wouldn't slip. Or if anyone knows what know he used, I can look it up.
Hay Matt , UdaMan !. That tarp U used is way to big buck for old poops like me . I take spray adhesive and stick a solar blanket to the inside of my tarps .
I "tarped" when I was a poor backpacker. If I still did it it would be a 9' x 12' Dyneema tarp with at least 18 tie-out points. I want some decent VOLUME inside my tarp setup so I can easily set up and still have 360 degree protection from the elements.
Thanks for the video Matt. You are the one person who got me off the couch and back into the woods. I am 52 and had to go out on disability at 49 because of a severe truck wreck, I was an over the road driver. So thanks for all the support and help that you gave me that you never knew about. Keep making the videos please.
Matt is someone I look up too and who inspired me to start my journey into primitive skills and living, his knowledge and experience is abundant.

I learned in college that having brains is one sure way of not getting along with grunts. But the generals sure take notice.
Fort Dicks, you say?
I love how no matter what Matt is always positive and happy
You have to be positive to survive in the wilderness. Panic and doubt is what kills
first rule is scuba diving as well .
When one is so close with the earth, not just in a survival situation, but thriving and in a Spiritual sense, recharging from the energy provided by Gaia and exchanging that energy as Matt clearly does, one is definitely going to be perpetually happy, hopeful, and humming with positive vibrations they draw from the Earth. 😊🙏
I thought $75 was expensive for a silnylon tarp till I saw Hyperlite dynema. You could buy a duplex from zpacks for that almost
Just found the channel, sub'd and liked. Matt, it's great to see you in your element, and excellent filming Sarah. I hope to see a lot more. Thank you brother
Thanks for showing us some tips and tricks. Great stuff.
Love your joy of life and spirit, been a fan for a while. God bless.
Great video Matt and Sarah ! Tarps are definetly something I must look into and practice with !
Always nice to listen to a happy , positive and just full of energy fellow hiker. Thanks
Amazing info, I'm making a 12x12 silpoly tarp and you brought up stuff that never would have occured to me. Thank you!
cuban fibre is very light but they make that noise like a space blanket.. really impressed to see you on you tube Matt ,finally a series we can watch and NO ADS, not that theres anything wrong with making a buck ,we all need money but im impressed you haven't filled it with ads
Love the tips can't wait to get out and put them to use,thanks Matt and Sarah B!

Hey Matt, I loved seeing you on the TV shows, but I don't have TV now so I'm glad that I found your UA-cam channel. Take care and God bless.
Great info Matt, great camera work Sarah, thumbs up!!
You Guys did so well on this Matt that I Shared it with Family. These Videos the two of you have been producing together are really good Buddy! You will always be my Iconic Hero! Thanks and as Always, .. Blessings from Oregon! ... Mike.
Awesome info from someone that has actually LIVED IT. Anything this guy says is worth listening to. HE HAS DONE IT.! Thanks for the info.
Special thanks to Matt, & Sarah,
Great use's of the tarp for a shelter! I enjoy you primitive skill's!
That’s amazing. Thanks for the tips. I shall be using these in the Scottish highlands next week
Tarpology, got to love it!! Thanks Matt for sharing!!
Starting with "First of all, you can always just roll up in it" set you apart from most other outdoor channels. In a good way.
Thank you for so many interesting tips. It's first time we watched your video and we are happy that we found you. There is lots we can learn from you. Greetings from Ireland :-)
Very well done. Always nice to watch someone that knows what they are talking about.
Matt...I remember camping when I was a "youngster"; I'm hoping to recapture those times; your post is encouraging---
I just got one of your Condor Knives, and I really love it ... I love this instructional video ... Even if you don't use a tarp, it is still a lesson in the position and set up of any campsite ... He is the Professor ...
Nice demo, thanks for posting!
I've been straight hetro for 60 years. And then I watched this vid. I think I love you Matt.
Lol!
Ma propre fille (et moi-même) n'avons presqu'aucun intérêt pour la tente...
Don't be ashamed, I feel it too.
finally the condoms m ade you realize that the gay phylisophy and the Wasp birth control one shares the same end.
Great to see Matt back sharing tips again, was so disappointed that he is no longer on dual survival, I got my tarp from mountain laurel designs, Cuban fiber, quite happy with it
Finally you have a channel! Miss seeing you on tv. Learned a lot of survival tips watching you on DS. Liked&Subscribed!!
Glad I found your site!! 😊✌️
Matt you are the man. I have watched every program you have ever done. You really know your shit. More, more , much more.
Advice on the wind is excellent !!!
Excellent insights!! Thank-you Matt...
Windy situation is really tricky. Thanks for the tips!
Lovely video and a great vibe. Thanks😊
Matt is such a nice guy. I'd love to see him on Alone, The Professionals.
The show would never end.
@@jamesmcswain8120 Ha ha ha, aye, you’re probably right.
That's a show I don't get tired of at all, so I'm fine with it not ending, especially if it had Matt, Hudson, Terry, Jake, and Tom, and the other professionals... Lol.
@@jessicabiedermann1221 And Joe Robinet could redeem himself.
Awesome video! When tarp camping in the desert I was able to pile sand around the bottom and keep the wind and cold out. The Earth is a great resource if you know what you’re doing.
Nice video with good info and pleasantly presented. I like your demeanor.
Just found this channel. Good to see u again Matt!
just checked the prices on the Hyperlite tarp. Speaking of being high....Brother must be flying at 30,000 feet if he thinks someone is gonna pay THAT price for a tarp. For that price, I can afford to bring 2 people along to build my shelter for me and screw the tarp.
Darn man I never knew you had a UA-cam channel. It would be cool to see some more content from you.
Number 2 is my new favorite tarp shelter thangs Matt🍻
... wow... Thanks Matt !! most of it i knew, but i DID learn some things ( or @ least rekindled old knowledge ; ) So Thanks Again & know you helped an old man of 73. & ya gotta new sub ; )
Great vid Matt👍👍 new sub here! Big fan! Seen your shows, read your book and just realized you have a youtube!! Sick!! Im a new tuber and your vids are a great inspiration!! Thanks man👍👍
Great video Matt. Thank You
Great video, thanks Matt for all the great info.
Matt really attracts me by his performance in battling with Ed Stafford! Plz show me where can i see more videos of him！
Great video. Sold me on the tarp. Going to buy one.👍
Thank you for the lessons you are a terrific teacher
excellent advice. thanks Matt
Great video Matt!
Nice one Matt, cheers mate
Oh snap. Matt Graham! Just found this channel. I like the lean-to. modified lean-to and classic A frame (sometimes grounded other times flying). Sure I will Subscribe!
Awesome video!
Thanks Matt, you are the man.
Thanks Matt!necessary advice!
just what i ve been looking for
Awesome ❤ Thank You Matt 🙏
Thanks. Great information.
You are the best. I really like what you do
Finally found you lol. You are a great teacher.
Awesome job! Same tarp I have
Light and does the job!!!
Great tips! Thanks man
Cool, thanks for the video.
I go through a new set of tent pegs every year in Algonquin park. Its the canadian shield so its all rock. Anywhere from rock to a couple feet of soul/moss. There's always one peg that won't go in and/or gets bent in the process of finding its place.
Thanks Matt Awesome stuff
Your tips are pretty good!
Nice light Tarp. Thanks it's cool.
Whe al love Matt ,at least his video’s 😜 .tnxs for posting Mr Graham
Awesome video thanks.
Matt, I do not normally disagree with "TV Survival" personalities but, a Mylar Space Blanket in your kit has and will continue to save lives because they do work, especially in a Super Shelter configuration. I will always recommend to carry at least one survival space blanket or even the reusable reflective blankets in your kit. .
Very cool thanks 4 the tips brother
Great video thanks buddy !
The 3.5mx4m tarp works nice as a roof over a hammock. Performs better than a tent if you are in mountain woods (you can sleep on a steep terrain).
i am very surprised to see the likes down this video. to my mind matt is very awesome person cause all things he can do is all about nature first. that is great. i have no more friends man-i-have-mechanic-saw-and-i-am-god-of-woods. the idea of nature usage without damage is really great. so 10+ video is great. as always.
Hyperlite tarp, hyper expensive! But an 8'x10' tarp at 9.6 ozs. with all those tie out, nice! Thanks for sharing.
Tyvek is probably just as good and about $290 cheaper
***** Tyvek is a lot less expensive. To bad it doesn't come with tie outs!
Hiker Marapese That can be remedied with marbles and loops of 550 paracord - no sewing or duct tape required.
Check out the 2Go Trifecta. Made of reflective Tyvec, comes with tie-outs for a tarp setup, and can be zipped up as a bivvy bag too. $65.00
Try DD Tarps brother. Highly recommended.
Great teacher. Instructs from his own years of personal experience.
Hey Matt,
Thanks for the great video lesson, there! Do you (and Sarah?) have any more content coming anytime soon? Hoping you’re well & looking forward to whatever comes next!
He posted this 3 years ago
eres increible aprendi muchas cosas contigo,,,,,gracias y sigue asi conectando con la naturalesa que una de las mejores cosas que la viva nos ofrece.....un abrazo enorme !! Ojala una noche poder ver las estrellas junto a ti :*
Matt is the real deal. He lives this stuff, not n an apartment in LA.
And he's like super-nice. Always happy, smiling, kind.
You rock Matt Graham !!!
amazing. thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge. I have one request, and that's if you could please zoom the camera in on the knots and ties? Again, thank you!
Well done mate.
thats a 355 dollar tarp if i go look on the hyperlight mountain gear website ..... i will carry 400 grams more and pay 45 euro for my tarp !!
Very interested in all you do Matt! You are awesome! Time here is 1:56 PM Eastern ....Virginia. keep your tinder dry buddy!
Hey mat fidnt know you had a channel ! I subbed take care brother
Thanks for the information. In my opinion I think it would have been more helpful

Subscribe to CORPORALS CORNER, AND CHECK OUT HIS TARP SHELTER VIDEOES, He shows in detail how to tie every paracord knot needed, ridge line and all!!
Prussik knot i think
Awesome Matt ty :)
Space blankets don't work in the cold winter ... it is a fallacy !!! I mean I agree with you ...
Cody and Matt were the best on dual survival.
TPHVICTIMS Dave and Cody were the best pairing
Hay Matt , UdaMan !. That tarp U used is way to big buck for old poops like me . I take spray adhesive and stick a solar blanket to the inside of my tarps .
$365 for a tarp??? .....I can't do that.....my father would come back from the grave and beat my rear-end
damn Matt I miss you on duel
I "tarped" when I was a poor backpacker. If I still did it it would be a 9' x 12' Dyneema tarp with at least 18 tie-out points. I want some decent VOLUME inside my tarp setup so I can easily set up and still have 360 degree protection from the elements.
