What are your favorite tarp setups and why?

[kevinobrien]

When I was in the US Army in a light unit I found that the poncho/tarp worked amazing back in the early 90's. The gear we had was pretty much garbage, so we found ways to improvise in order to lighten our loadout so we could take more situational items. Tents are wonderful, but a poncho/tarp is just as good. Bungee cord straps, tent stakes, and 550 cord are all you need. It never let me down ever in trash weather.

New to the channel. Subbed and notifications "on". Thanks!!

At last I have watched a video where I felt none of my time has been wasted. The ability to convey these lessons is a gift. You seem so at ease, make it so simple, when it's not.Sir I thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Video eccellente e utilissimo! Grazie mille, Alex 🙏 Un saluto dalla Scozia 👋

Thanks for sharing. I have made my ridgeline with bankline, made jungle knots, that way I never need to make additional knots when setting up tarp and it's really quick and simple to deploy and take down.

Great video! I just recently learned the Farrimond Friction hitch, and been using it on our trip to Sweden recently.

For tarps setup I often use the diamond fly above a hammock, that way I only need two elastic cords and pegs. Lean-to in nice weather on the ground, a plough point in worse weather, or Finnish loue style when camping with my wife.

Nice timing! I’m a little slower, especially after sleeping. But using an outer pouch on my backpack just for the tarp and pegs, it’s pretty quick. And no bag for the sleeping bag lol. Straight into my backpack saves me a lot of time.

[kevinphan]

Yes! After watching your videos, this is exactly what I wanted to see

Nice video, I am definitely going to add mooring hitch to my repertoire. By the way, for anybody who might be interested, the bowline knot is called dragon loop in my language - name comes from learning aid used in pioneers organization (back in the day, that was our equivalent to boy scouts). It goes like this: There is a princess (standing line) looking into a lake (that first loop you make) when dragon (running line) crawls out of the water, twists around the princess and drags her down into the deep...

I learned a new Knot!
I'm going to replace the Tautline Hitch with the Farrimond Friction Hitch from now on.
Thank you! 😎👍🏼

[athaphian]

These are exactly the knots I use most when camping, great summary!

[millieblue]

Thank you a lot for sharing your knowledge with us all, much appreciated! Great video!

[sogseal]

I just bought my tarp. thanks to your video you definitely gave me new ideas and techniques for assembling it. The mounting possibilities are truly surprising. I will try to imitate your curtains

[StevanOutdoor]

With the bowline the loose end should be on the inside of the loop. I normally don't use a ridgeline but a daisy chain for around the tree and a bicycle bungee to attach the tarp to the daisy chain. It's always good to have extra room in your backpack to just stuff all gear used in there.

[craigrobertson]

Excellent info and great practical demo's, Alex. I use a standard hoochie / basha style (like your first one) for most tarp set-ups. If I needed to go in a hurry, just wrap everything up like Santa Claus and carry it like a sack. Generally, I do the stealthy / quiet tear down instead.

[oskarmiklaszewski]

As always you keep up the standards. You’ve became my favourite youtuber. Thank You for sharing your amazing knowlege

[alpsoutdoor]

Hy Alex, great videos! It's always good to be prepeard😉 Best wishes from Austria, André

[copiercer]

[randynolan]
