Easy Camping Tarp Install

I found this to be the EASIEST, most efficient way to quickly setup a ridge-line tarp for our campsite! Check it out!

I have seen several tutorials and this was the only one that gave me the confidence to try it. It was a success and I’m ready for my 3rd camping trip with the family

Such a great idea too for those hot nights, there's no real reason to attach the fly to the tent, just leave the screen exposed and catch the breeze with no worries of waking up wet if it does rain - 😁

Awesomeness! Thanks for sharing this great tutorial tarp video! Cheers from Japan!

Excellent method. I'll be trying this tomorrow, Thanks for posting this!!

[robinbrooks]

Brilliant! Thanks so much! I'm going to try this technique out in a couple weeks!

Before we watched and used this method, tarping our site was usually the point at which tempers got short and words got exchanged, lol! Since using this method, we're still in love at the end of camp set up. Thanks Jeff!

Unfortunately many campgrounds don't allow us to tie to the tree. Stinks. This method is not hurting the trees.

Hi Jeff. GREAT video. I am new to "tarping" and learned the hard way why I need one. What size tarp did you use in the video? Thank you for the help .

Instead feeding the main rope through the grommet, look up how to use a Prusik knot with a small loop.

Do you ever get any water pooling on the tarp when it rains? Or any tips to avoid it?

[lucasbird]

Thank you so much, great info!
And you sound very Canadian! 😂

For 20 and young 30somethings you seem to have to "research on the web" to do the most basic things inside and outside. I would assume most of you may have had no strong father m-son relationship or a short one just two days every other week.

These are things Dads teach their 10 yo kids. It is enjoyable seeing you hand lines with the help if your kids....and being the internet Dad to many who grew up indoors without a handy father to lay foundations.

Great job.

Nice video! Do you happen to know the size of the tarp that you used in your video?

[noahriding]

If you do a tarp above a tent, and if you are camping long term will this protect the tent from sun damage? (Tarps are much cheaper than tents. I'm seeing both get sun damage fast if you use them every day.)

Thanks.

Genius. If you don't mind me asking how big is that tarp you used as that would be perfect 👌

[midonald]

Execelent idea!
That would also work for a popup camper

[christopherp]

Nice video.. what size tarp did you use for your setup? I know it would vary based on the size of your tent, etc., but the size you used seems perfect for my setup so I figured I'd ask.

Great idea of how to secure the grommets, I’m gonna give that a try. I’ll likely use extra tent pegs, rather than hunting for sticks. How big is the tarp?
