How To Set Up The Adirondack Tarp Shelter 

That is a nice design of a shelter and one that I do not believe that I have seen before. I frequently use both nylon and poly tarps configured in different ways as shelter for camps. My wife and/or I often use these configured tarp shelters for either sleep or as a covered gear storage/kitchen area. Will now add this configuration to the setup options as well. Thanks.

I just published a video on this subject and mentioned your channel as well as left a link in my video to this video here. Hopefully you will see an increase in viewership in the next several days at least. Good luck.

I’m really loving the versatility of that tarp. An option for nearly every situation with all those tie outs, and being a square tarp. You saved me a lot of time in finding the perfect shelter option. I know you’re busy with work, but hope you still can find time to get out.

Nice clear tutorial brother. I like the Pro Tip, nobody needs a busted knuckle in the woods🖒

Having the triangle fly is a great touch. Lots of rain or snow, it will help block a lot of weather from coming in. It looks like with just a small lowering of the ridgeline, you could really hunker down inside this setup. Great shelter idea, great video. Appreciated

Great video. Thanks for the tips. I especially like turning your hand palm up in order to avoid serious damage. It's amazing how what seems so simple after you hear it is something that we never do or would even consider. We are creatures of habit.

the hand flip while staking... nice tip! thank you.

Just the tutorial That I was looking for

Great setup. Thank you. Sent here by Lonnie and Connie from Far North Bushcraft and Survival. Subbed!

Defiantly plenty of room to lay out and great protection from the wind. Nice set up, cheers Alan

Hey Buddy, excellent shelter technique, excellent demonstration and explanation.

I always carry a spike in my kit for just such an occasion where a log makes it pitching a tarp a bit of a mess. It's come in handy more than a few times.

Nicely done - you should have been a teacher. You explain things very well. I would love to see the tarp set up with a floor done with that huge oilskin!!!!

thanks for the tutorial. before you staked down the sides you kind of had some walls. I think I'll try staking the walls in place instead of opening it up as you did. can't wait to try this

Well done Professor!!! I never heard of that style, but I like it!!!

Great job! Lonnie sent me over from Far North Bushcraft And Survival.

That's a great Tarp and a nice setup for it, I think I need a canvas Tarp in my life.

Nice set up Brother! Time proven. Digging that tarp! Thanks for sharing!

Great video. That tarp is huge. I like the way you set it up. Thanks for sharing

Great setup!! Tarps are so versatile. 👍

Good Job!

I noticed you talking to Shane Slone about the 1100 para cord Brian. You referred to going to natural cordage. That 550 that you are using is ideal. You don't need an upgrade or downgrade. The only reason for biodegradable cordage is if you are leaving it behind. I liked your Adirondack tutorial. Especially the part about keeping the palms up. I learned that at a young age while building houses. I noticed that your last steak had an angled edge on it. I'm just guessing but I think that you were running out of time and you didn't bother to blunt the edge up on it LOL! Excellent tutorial my friend and I positively love your tarp! I can't say enough good things about it brother. Thanks for the share!

Can you make these shelters without being a square tarp? And Where do you buy 12x12 ones?Great idea thanks

Great demonstration!

Now I know what you do for a living, I understand the attraction to these tarp shelters you like. "No Windows!"

Came your way via Lonnie. You do good work. Good explanations. Good execution. Many thanks. Liked & subbed. Seb in Canada.

That is a nice setup, I just bought a tarp today after looking at yours I hope I got a big enough one ..lol

I have been looking at his tarps online, is the one you have his basic 12X12 and then you added the additional loop on the top, center, I know you had some of the loops made bigger than normal, but just trying to figure out what the difference between the one you have and his stock one is. Thanks for sharing, have a blessed week Dale

Thank you for your video! In the case of a fire in front can you keep the triangle on the roof of the tarp also towards the entrance as you explained before? Or in case of a fire is it better to hold it back as you did?

Awesome! I like that. Hoping to get a decent tarp this year. would like to give that one a try.

Cool series!

i also got here from Lonnie's channel. this is a great setup. thanks for the vid what kind of tarp is that? i am looking to upgrade my tarp and yours looks decent

Great set up

Really enjoying the tarp videos. Mine has burn holes everywhere. How will yours hold up against embers?

I really like that set up and the tarp itself. Can you share a link of what kind it is and were to get it please. Thanks

Great video and it looks like a nice set up too 👍👍

Awesome video and thank you for sharing this. One question for you , where did you get that tarp

GREAT!

Great video, was looking for this exact "how to" for the Adirondock Pitch, thanks! What hatchet are you using btw?? Thank you!

Very cool! For your ridge line what cordage do you use? Do you ever use 1100 paracord?

Cool, great video. SUBSCRIBED!!!

Awesome lonnie sent me over and i subbed

This video sold me. Subbed. ;)

I do not know if anyone else asked this question, But who is the manufacture of that tarp you are using? Where did you purchase it?

👍👍 ☆☆☆☆☆ THANKS. ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Damn thought I was first swamp beat me in lol great video like to see what you could do with a 6*8

Great setup and knowledge. What knife you carrying 👍

Awesome

Awesome video. Great tarp shelter. What tarp is that it looks heavy duty.

Hi Lone: Good to see you followed my suggestion( Oops) you do nice work. Thanks Brian 77

What camera are you using? I've seen several misc videos now, yours included, which seem to have a weird static-like noise when someone is speaking. I can only imagine it's the camera, but maybe RU-vid's processing?

🤠 I carry a metal tent peg that goes into wood that is in the way.

How did you order your tarp, what did you ask for? I would like to order the same one. Thanks

for me I think a 12 x 12 is a good size I like room and or closure If I need to in colder weather... thanks

What tarp you have? 4×4?

New subscriber .

I like this shelter. I may use it at Uitwaaien.

Lonnie sent me good stuff

Thumb 👍🏼 🆙

If you have back problems avoid to lay on ground without insulated foam mat, thanks for video

Take care>>>

Got it

Nice set up L/W .. Is that a special made tarp with all those tie -up loops ? Great video Bro thanks for the share .....Mark.....

what size tarp is this?

Where do i get these tarps

What kind of Tarp is that

what is the name of the knots and how did you attach to ridgeline?

build another shelter so the open areas are close and facing each other, join them on the right, and have a door on the left. that I would like to see, thanks

Jaka jedt waga tego tarpa?

I like the advice on turning your hand over when placing the stakes. I don't understand why you didn't pull the corner out at the top instead of tucking it back. Takes away from the aesthetics.

If theres no trees just use poles same on back.

Full view check out my last video

Dude just assumes all tarps have the exact same number of tie outs. 👎

OMG, @ 6:28 stepping all over that poor tarp. I guess if you are camping in your backyard and happen to have $$$ for many tarps that is ok, but for the rest of us.....
