How to make a Hexpeak Tent with a 3m x3m DD Tarp setup

Great for tarp camping in awful weather

Hello

I'm Paul and welcome to my channel.

In this video I show you how I set up a 3m x 3m DD tarp in a hexpeak configuration, very similar to the popular tent, the Luxe Sil Heaxpeak V4. I saw the idea on a video by Papa Hiker who briefly shows it set up. I will link his channel below as he shows a lot of really interesting tarp set ups, Well worth a look.

Thanks for watching.

I'm loving the DD tarps, I just bought a 4m x 4m. Now I want the 5m x 5m! lol Having a fascination for tarpology vid collections...

Great instructional video and nice setup. Thank you for sharing. I like the way you show and review the finished tarp shelter BEFORE you show how to set it up. I prefer to see what’s going to be built at the beginning of the video rather than waiting till the end. Well done.

Excellent presentation. Yeah man, PapaHiker is a great channel for an endless supply of tarp set ups/tutorials. You did a great job here, and glad I saw this. I usually go for the 3 sided pyramid, but this would provide more room, I think. Looks more spacious than what I end up with using that 3 sided configuration. Gonna try this out this weekend. Thanks for sharing, mate!!

Thanks for this video Paul. After watching your instructions I'm sleeping in this this pitch tonight. 👍

Hi Paul, came across your video! Thanks for the shout out and super cool that you tried the hex design. I like how you take the time to show how to pitch it. Tight pitch too. It should be very well suited for your conditions. Cheers! Papa hiker

After seeing this video, I ended up buying a DD Tarp! You're right... it's a good tarp!

Nice one Pablo!! Knew I could count on you as always, I bought this tarp today as my tent is only small with no room for a brew in bad weather, most reviews involve trees and prussic knots, ridge lines and being Ray Mears to set it up, I just wanted a brew out of the rain and this set up is perfect thank you

Excellent and clear video. I've just come back from an overnight canoe/ camping trip. I used this tarp set up. It was very successful: strong, stable and plenty of room. . Thank you for the video.

At last!! An excellent video explaining how to do this.
I didn't have a piece of string handy, so I used the centre loop doubled over the top of the walking pole.

I'm going to use this setup soon when I attempt the Pennine Way! Thank you, very clear and informative

[rhove]

thanks for the video I tried this set up on one of my camping, surprisingly, it's very comfortable and lots of room for my gear.

[TinmanHikingShaun]

Best one tarp video I've ever seen mate!!!! Can't wait to try it out!

[Gabblerwba]

Great design, thank you for elaborating the setup in clear detail.

[bogdisa]

you made me to buy this tarp and its the perfect choise for me biking in the mountains and have to pass overnight in a quick made shelter with minimum and ultralight equipement.tks

[martintregenza]

Hands down, best tarp tent setup. I've just got back from an overnight camp. 45+mph winds and heavy rain. The tent was solid (although my walking pole fell over a few times).

[gearnobz]

I can’t tell you how good your videos are!

[MarcinW]

Thank you. Quick and simple, I can't wait to try it out in the Lakes.

[woodworkwalksandthingsthat]

Thanks Paul, your video combined with Papa Hikers floor plan made the design easy to understand. I live next to the Brecon Beacons which always seem to be windy. I will definitely try this set up.

I have recently tried this on a night when it was very stormy, I added a simple groundsheet and it was lovely and warm, thanks very much I have recommended this to my buddies

[williammcknight]

Thanks for sharing this with us Paul. Great video.
