Awesome Easy Shelter Using Standard Square Tarp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2018
- 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 - Навчання та стиль
You remain amongst the best teachers regarding wilderness living. Thank you, sir.
N. Montero yup we!l said.... Awesome guy!!!
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!
You're the type of folks I hope to call "neighbor" some day. Thanks for all the great vids.
Thanks a lot for this. I often think too traditional when it comes to these details. Very useful unput!
Nice to see you here Bjorn
Great job on the set up Lonnie. And many thanks for the shout out my friend, take care.
Greetings from Austria and Poland 👊
Greeting to you as well from Alaska USA.
2 variations on a really good design.
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.
Great shelter. It looks do-able for someone like me that’s never built a shelter. Thanks!
It's good to see you again and lovely to see another shelter video 👍
As always, a great video and another tarp design to add to the toolbox. Thanks!
Great video Lonny I’m gonna share this with my post apocalyptic survival page
Thanks for sharing Cory. I appreciate that.
So simple.
I’m showing my girls all the knots I know. Only good one is one you can untie easily....
I have to try this in our back yard, just for fun.
Thanks to both of you.
God bless you both and your family.
Going try this setup on my next overnight trip. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your a great mentor. 👍
I really like that setup Lonnie. With proper orientation to the wind it should make for a pretty warm yet smoke free shelter. Thanks you for sharing and your work.
Hello Lonnie, and Connie, I do appreciate all of your videos and time as well as your knowledge, thank you for sharing this with us. ..
Thanks a lot for this. I often think too traditional when it comes to these details. Very useful input!
Great job and shelter! 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Always like your videos. Thank’s for taking the time to share
Thanks Lonnie... square tarps are my favorite portable shelter. Many ways to configure.
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.
Just listening to you is calming thank you.
Hi Lonnie, I jave been doing bushcraft for 2 years now here in Canada and love your videos. I went on a day trip in the woods and put together your tarp setup. It was the best I had done yet with my square Aquaquest 10x10. Tks !!!
For those wondering this setup is called the Adirondack setup. Good video and demonstration! Cheers
I like it. Our local Baptist Church is going to have a youth camp out. I just ordered two 12x12 tarps. Thanks for the idea!
Great job guys. I've got to make a video tomorrow on a backpackong stove. I think I'll do this set up as a back drop lol. Thanks much for showing this to us!
Excellent idea. Now, to figure out a way to use it with a hammock and I'd be set!
I love you guys, Lonnie and Connie. I'm glad to see another explanatory video from you.
I’ve been running parawing style tarps for 30 yrs now this would be a great addition. Good job!
Cool man I've done something like this..haven't been camping for a long time...looks like fun..Alaska is to cold for me..burr summer maybe not winter.
I like the way u did that at the time I’m typing this I see 70 thumbs down , why would someone not like this ?
Awesome is right! Love the simplicity. Very Clean & nut-in-fancy.
Makes me think it just might be the perfect geometry for a super shelter system. But shrink down the size.
Thx for sharing all the great ideas.
Yes it would be very easy to hang a clear front sheet across the front on this design. Real easy.
A life skill that I will continue to use, wondering why this was not required in school
sad but true, I remember building most of the toys I played, seems wrong not to allow my children to experience the joy of using your hands to build
MountainRecluse,
I might add to that their imagination to figure out their entertainment, along with their hands to make things, as "Brook" below mentioned !
Kinda like the days before BOOB Tube ?
Thanks for sharing!
Well explained Lonnie. I wonder how it could work with a rectangular tarp? May have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing
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.
Nice one, Lonnie, I like that setup. Thanks for the great demos.!
Again you have modified my ways...many thanks.
This is another one of your videos I'll watch again ... a very useful technique using a standard tarp without modifying it in any way. (Would have given this a "Two Thumbs Up", but they only let me vote once in this election!) Thanks, Lonnie! God Bless
Outstanding shelter. Great video! Simple, short, concise, practical teaching with no fluff or filler. I watched the movie “Sourdough” (1978) this week and could not help but think about y’all. All blessings upon you both!
3 words in and I can sense he's a competent man already. Subscribed!
Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel.
..you make stuff look so easy .i always try your way of doing it..thanks for the info..i tried your way of doing a tarp tent with a floor and it worked the first time i made it..
I would like to request you do more how-to videos! I made you fancy feast stove and it works amazing!
Simple/Practical designs get used! Thank you so much! I hope you and your wife continue to share your passion for years to come.
I'm glad ur still making videos. I appreciate you Lonnie!
Style has been around for many years, it has a history,
Thanks for showing everyone how to set it up.
Do you two adopt, I'm 61 but you have so much to teach, and I have so much to learn !!! Thank you Lonnie and Connie, you make an awesome show of which I've seen hundreds, you are a great teacher, the patients of a saint Sir........
Thank you for sharing Lonnie. Useless to "hope" we learned something new ! We ALWAYS learn something new with you and Connie.
Very Good and Simple to put-up. Thanks, Lonnie & Connie for this video. I will be making this set-up also.
love how you think out of the box a lot of people over think and over complicate simple things like putting a tarp up
Thanks for taking the time on this video. Really appreciate having a totally new way for a tarp cover.
Probably my favorite setup to use in the warmer months. I also incorporate a bug net during the summer months. Great instruction as always - God bless.
I've been using tarps like this for years! Great set up!
Thanks Lonnie. I like the simplicity of this shelter.
This is really useful, you see I’m doing a shelter camp with my fellow scouts this weekend and can’t put a shelter up. Thank you for the help!
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.

A beautiful way to hang a tarp anywhere. I have some gigantic tarps and could see a nice dry place for sitting or whatever. Thanks!
I always learn something, Lonnie and Connie. Thank you so much for sharing.
My good ol uncle Sam taught me this many years ago. Happy to see someone teaching it on.
Super tarp set up, this video has been downloaded to my survival/bushcraft playlist so i don't forget about it.
Always great to learn another tarp system. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to show us this shelter!
Seriously, .... thirty seconds in,... I’m riveted. And as a sheetmetal guy, that is what I prefer, a mechanical connection. :) thanks in advance,
Wow! So simple! Why didn't I think of that? Lol!
I can see a tarp going into my pack for my next overnite, and trying this out. It seems
Very efficient and easy to set up. My grandkids will love the porch!
Thank you and Connie for sharing!
another great sermon from father Lonnie!
Very nice. You could run a hammock through this if you cut a slit in each side-wall and installed some snaps, toggles, or a double-zipper.
That’s bloody awesome Lonnie.
Thank you for your Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Sir.
I love the way you explain things and my husband and I love your videos!
Cool. Thanks Lonnie and Connie.
I like it ! Very cool ! I'm out right now. Reconfiguration begins after breakfast tomorrow. I always have a couple 16 penny nails with me. I can put them in the poles to catch the grommet. Thanks !
Nice shelter with several possible configurations for better or worse weather. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video and this really is useful information!!!!! Thank you so much for doing such a great job with the demos in this video. I appreciate the time you took.
Always great watching your videos !

Wonderful! This is the second time I watch this video and I learned more from it. Thank you!
As usual you have the most practical and useful info
I’m thinking it’ll make for a easy fishing shelter for my small fishing trip later this month. Thanks as always, Lonnie and Connie.
I love the way you explain everything to us... all the best from Spain! :)
I love this tarp set up, thank you
U.R. the best. Jim from mich.

@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival I really did!
Thanks Lonnie and Connie, looks like one that I will see if I can throw up over at the creek camp as soon as it cools down a bit.
Your instruction is the best Sensei.
Now that's a good-looking tarp!
Brilliant as always mate 👍🏽 informative and down to the point
That shelter looks excellent. I will be using that as well in the near future, just have to start practicing with the setup. Great video.
Great set up. Love your carabiner/loop hack!
Man, this is great. Thanks for sharing.
