DD Tarp 3x3 - 11 shelter set-ups for bushcraft & survival

If you’re in need of ideas, get some inspiration from Dan & Nico while they share 11 of their favourite tarp set-ups for the DD Tarp 3x3 - MC.

Easy to do, these are perfect for lightweight backpacking, survival and wild camping - just add your hiking pole for support to create even more options.

1. A-Frame: Best for hammock camping
2. Lean-to: Great for cooking and day shelter
3. Lean-to with overlap: Day shelter
4. Ground/bivi shelter
5. Diamond shelter: Great for hammock camping/increasing airflow
6. Ground diamond: Day shelter in woodland environments
7. Ground A-Frame with poles: Good for bivi camping or day shelter
8. Day/bivi shelter
9. Lean-to shelter (with poles)
10. Tarp tent: Great for bivi camping or a wind-resistant day shelter
11. Triangular pyramid shelter: Great for bivi camping or a day shelter

Tarp tent & triangular pyramid tent are awesome variations 😎👏👏👏👍

had this one for about 12 years, have just bought a new one as I had a couple of fire burn holes from being too close in the winter. the new version is much better. The changes in the multicam are for the better, more of a woodland colour, the old one was very light green compared. also, its nice to have the attachment points all around. They were there on the old one but cut off on 2 sides before it was shipped from DD as the old one was prone to ripping on 2 sides so they stopped you using them.
Hoping the new one lasts just as long!

Been the pleased owner of DD’s Tarp, Hammock and slings etc for quite a while now. Can’t fault them, quality equipment that won’t let you down. You’ll be warm and dry when you need to be. Simples!

Good vid buddy .. I look forward to using my DD tarp with DD walking sticks ..

I think most of us can agree; using a ridge line to make a “Tarp Tent” or “Diamond Tent” is preferred.
I find the pole down the center takes up all the usable room inside.

Great video. I have a DD Tarp on my wish list.

[jplsiemprelisto]

Fantastic options, depends on the climate choose the best...   Great job...

You forgot my two favourites: Pyramid with floor (FULLY enclosed) and tarptent with 25% floor. Floor is sometimes more important than roof, while camping in muddy area.

those last 2 were interesting. i've not had my tarp out yet, but would like to this spring.

[GeordiePrepper]

All great setups, nice information guys thanks a lot.

[thethinker]

wow goes to show how versatile those tarps are.

[GTMGunTotinMinnesotan]

Would love to see a video like this for sub zero tempts in snow. I'm pretty lame in my skills, need to learn some because of the difficulty of setting up in blizzards when snowy. I usually just A frame it but it leaves you exposed to bitter winds.

[gunsfuncajanajustin]

Many of options. I like the camo pattern.

Good video, I'll be doing the West Highland Way next month with a DD Tarp. As will a friend, so video to follow on how well the super light tarps do
