Are you looking for a simple and affordable way to camp outdoors? Do you want to learn how to set up a tarp tent on the ground and enjoy the nature without spending too much money? If yes, then this video is for you. In this video, I will show you how to choose a suitable location, how to pitch a tarp tent using stakes and poles, and how to make it comfortable and cozy inside. You will also see some tips and tricks on how to deal with common challenges such as rain, wind, bugs, and cold. By the end of this video, you will be ready to go camping with a tarp tent on the ground and have a great time. So, what are you waiting for? Watch this video now and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more camping videos.
If you want to set up a tarp shelter on the ground and make it more effective in heavy rain or extreme weather, here are some tips that you can follow:
Seal the bottom edge of the tarp with rocks, logs, or soil to prevent water from seeping in and to create a barrier against the wind. This will also help trap the heat from a campfire inside the shelter and keep you warm in the cold winter nights.
Use a ridge line to support the tarp and create a slope for the water to run off. You can use a rope, a cord, or a branch to make a ridge line and tie it between two trees or poles. Make sure the ridge line is tight and secure, and adjust the height according to your preference.
Angle the tarp according to the direction of the wind and rain. You can use stakes, pegs, or sticks to anchor the corners and edges of the tarp to the ground. You can also use guy lines to add more stability and tension to the tarp. Try to angle the tarp so that it faces away from the wind and rain, and creates a spacious and dry area underneath.
Add a groundsheet or a mat to protect yourself from the damp and cold ground. You can use a plastic sheet, a tarp, a blanket, or any other material that is waterproof and insulating. You can also add some leaves, grass, or pine needles to create a soft and comfortable layer under your sleeping bag.
By following these tips, you can make your tarp shelter more resilient and comfortable in heavy rain or extreme weather. I hope you find this helpful. If you want to see how I set up my own tarp shelter on the ground, you can watch my video here: [How to Set Up a Tarp Shelter on the Ground]. Thank you for watching and happy camping! 😊

Tip #9 Use "drip lines" to guide down before it can run into the tent. As far as the penny goes, a round stone (or marble) would be better because it doesn't have sharp edges to cut into the tarp. With regards to filing in the space at the bottom of the star at ground level, personally, I push from the inside out. Building up debris on the outside acts as a rain catch and the water that comes down off the walls of the tarp goes right into that pile that's usually lifted above the round and soak the ground. Pushed from the inside out, the water flows out over the debris and away from the inside of the tarp.

Excellent details on how to set up a successful diamond shelter. Most diamond demonstrations don't cover these points. A few of the tips were very non-obvious, such as the back tilt on the tree hitch and placing the bottom stakes as low as possible. I'll probably tie on a separate drip line, since I may not be using a toggle on my ridge line.

I've been learning tarps and knots and all sorts of bushcraft over the last year or so your videos are very helpful. As an everyday survival and existence mindset for me is comfort. And EDC and camping backpacking can almost seen like distant cousins but the lack of comfort and presence of discomfort can very well be an indicator of something dangerous so you say smoothing it. And I I agree. Thank you for the videos!

I use a wooden hiking staff about six inches less than my height, as my "tree" for the plowpoint as I often camp on open moorland, also I use a washer as a penny mod so I can have a hanging loop inside the shelter, thanks Blackie these in depth videos are excellent.

At the start of the vid talking about water runoff, you can put a drip string on the line ahead of your tarp, we used to do this in the boy scouts an the military, an I believe hammock campers do this to. Btw, BTW love the choppers always in the background, never get tired of that. THX for the vid Blackie

I've camped at some places where the wind changes direction radically during the night, sometimes a full 180 degrees. I'll pick a tree that has a lot of room around it so I can rotate the diamond. Not fun at 2am, but better than getting rained on or smoked out for another 4 hours.

I always figured the canopy overhead, in conjunction with the tree trunks themselves, prevented side-blowing rain from getting to my shelter and forced a dispersed misting of water straight down where the shelter gives me the most protection.

There is not always suitable trees or locations at some of the gathering I go to. Especially if your a late arrival. When setting up a Diamond fly freestanding and not tied to a tree. How tall should the two poles be for a 12’x12’ canvas tarp. Should the pole at the peak be the same length or shorter than the center pole? Can you do a video or give guidance using a 12x12 freestanding Diamond with a USGI cot to sleep on.

There are fire-retardant sprays used to treat canvas, stage props, clothing, etc to make them nearly fire-proof. Recently there is a big outcry about the chemicals used but on a tarp I can’t see it matters.

Hey Blackie! Does this inclined ridge line set up works well for hammock settings as well? Or is there a risk of this inclined line slacking off and sinking the hammock? I started watching your videos recently and tested some stuff myself. And man, it's working! Thanks for sharing. Regards from Sweden.
@blackoracle69
@blackoracle69 10 месяцев назад
usually the ridgeline stays tight unless you get heavy winds and the tree starts to rocking then it will slack
@asmith7876
@asmith7876 10 месяцев назад
Your hammock guy lines should be something that doesn’t stretch or absorb water. Hung correctly water may trickle down the line but when it gets to the actual hammock connection point it will drip off.
