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.
