So glad I found your channel !! I live in the no mans land south of 30 and north of i80 between Iowa City and Des Moines. Really like a channel that is geared towards my locale and is so practical and not all crazy nonsense . Just real world applications . Subbed !!
Thanks!Very helpful IAWoodsman.I went and purchased a 10x10 lightweight tarp as I needed a tarp with even amount of sides.I like a shelter that has sides plus one that's quick and easy to setup.I so often camp at my "semi-permanent"campsite,and need to get out and try new places.I'm fortunate I live close to alot of wooded areas unlike those who live in the city or suburbs.I take advantage of that and get alot of dirt time in with at least six overnighters a year.By the way my username on bushcraftusa is Flint_2016 so you may already have read some of my posts.Thanks again.
That's real clever, and you could turn it into a super shelter without much trouble with a grabber blanket and some poly painter drop cloth. So is that an 8 x 10? I camped out in a free-standing 8x10 last summer for awhile, and believe me, your set-up is a hundred times more comfortable looking. Those look like amazing tarps. I wish someone would make those cheapo blue tarps with the grommets set up that way for emergencies - they wouldn't have to last a year.
Hey terry how are you tying off the ridge line? I see it wrapped around tree a couple times. Are you still tying a taut line hitch? Or a couple wraps and any ol granny knot? Thank Phil
