Adirondack Tarp Shelter: Set-up, Pros, and Cons 

Hmmm, or that pocket could be left alone long enough to collect drinking and cooking water!

🤠 At last a no counting explanation I kept getting mixed up just pick the CENTER one thanks mister I will copy yer way tomorrow.

Still think I'm going to get one of those mosquito pop ups. You can work all kinds of shelters around them and your 360 contained inside the net. Nice footprint and tarp shelter and you're set. I don't camp in the winter anyways unless it's in the desert LOL.Thanks for the video man. Some really nice simple information.

Watching this for the second time so it seems seen it awhile ago but it is definitely a superb video thank you snake

Great videos. I loved it when you add dramatic scenarios tho.... 😆 "There's a Sasquatch chasing me with the Ebola virus and I have to..."

You got me thinking that I should get a lighter tarp. I do have two good lightweight camo ponchos and two heavier plastic tarps one of which is 9+ by 12+ which gives me lots of options and the smaller one for a separate ground cloth. I appreciate your videos.

seems like you know your shit great videos my father recently passed away and he was a Ret.sgt Major in the Army so he taught me alot...keep up the great work my friend

Thnxs

if your rope ridgeline goes thru were your side pullouts are , not to the strings tied to the pull outs , the ridgeline of tarp will be taunt enough not to catch water.

Love the where's Waldo clips. Great info. Thanks.

angle the beak down and it will take care of the water pooling up

Thanks for this video. Hello from Scotland. Can you tell me what shirt that it? It looks cool (literally). My tarp (Hilleberg 20) doesn't have any attachment points on the body of the tarp, just along the sides. I suppose a marble could be used to create one for the back to pull it out. I wonder how that would work in strong wind though (like we get here all the time).

loving these tarp videos brother. Im going to look for of the those tarps. I don't need it but man the gorilla looks epic lol :-)

👍 Heck ya ! ...Alan in 🇨🇱

beautiful set up I really love adirondack tarp shelter setup.

You must be in east texas somewhere? Piney woods maybe?. Sure are some beautiful parks out that way but mosquitos will carry away a grown man in the summer.

My question is, couldn't you just lower the front so the water doesn't go toward the back?

I have a bunch of plastic clips for attaching mosquito nets.

GREAT VIDEO 😉

Awesome tarp. I really like your setup. Cool video. Enjoyed it. 😃👍👍. You did get the stakes. Lol.

Nice job you’re good at explaining it .I wonder if it will be worthwhile they have some bug netting just loosey-goosey the throw over the door.

Born raised southern central NY. I miss Adirondack MTN. Moose River area.8 yrs. In Georgia now .I need a vacation maybe I'll come back.to visit.

Nice set up brother, I like the design.

High, good explained and realized. Kindly Fiete

Great setup.

Great informative video. Those Chill Gorilla tarps are both affordable and can make a great sturdy shelter. That 550 sure makes great ridge lines as well as having other multiple uses. I'm assuming you face the rear of the tent into the wind. If the tarp is the right shape, you can even make a shelter with a floor and a door with a single tarp. It makes the shelter a little smaller, but for cold weather it will keep the floor under you dry, and keep the elements out, much like a tent. I like the way you mention both the pros and the cons. Thanks for posting.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

6 miles to go get tent stakes Sounds like fun

You could tie a pebble off in the tarp to tie the mosquito net to

I really like this set up! I think my next outdoors purchase is going to be that tarp. Any cons of it that you've came across while using it?

👍

I'd say I'd hike back about 7.5 miles for those stakes they're kind of nice.

Ticks not a problem?

Nice set up with minimal equipment, bro.

Was that mr cabbage head at the beginning

Nice shelter... I bought one of those Cnoc Outdoors Vecto 2L Water Containers you recommended but the order was cancelled with the following message from Amazon: Unfortunately, your package was damaged or it contains hazardous materials We sent you a refund for this shipment, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. I have never seen that before, usually they just send another product, so maybe you should check if it is deadly to use :)

Actually, the water collection on the roof isn't such a bad thing. That's free water that you don't to work for. I'd still boil it though because of organic contaminates. I happen to like this set up. It works well most of the time except when it get's colder. Even with a fire that's too much open space to try to heat up.
