Woodsmanship 101 - "take a tarp" 

Didn’t realize Clay had been working with you guys for this long. Very cool stuff! Was rooting for him on alone!

This is a very good presentation... the most easily to understand instruction of this tarp shelter I have yet seen. Clear... covering the necessary information... right to the point and easy to understand. Great! Well done! Wow... so rare.

Good video.. no B.S. or trying to sell anything... to the point with useful information... Great Job!

Barry, I'll sometimes rig my tarp like that as well. That's the great thing about them, there's no limit to how they can be used. Heck, you could even use one to make a raft if needed.

Thanks for the video, I just picked up a 10x10 and have been practicing different ways. Hitting the Appalachian Trail this coming weekend in Va

That is a very clever way of pitching a tarp. Nicely done.

Thanks for the great video. Could you show in a video the other configurations, ie the diamond setup and the hammock? I think the hammock setup would be great if you were worried about insects, snakes, or were in a wet environment!

I've used tarps for decades. Usually I'll tie them to trees, bushes or rocks. I don't carry stakes. For backpacking, the silnylon tarps are extremely lightweight yet fairly durable. Draping one side over a big boulder can work good too.

Thanks very much for sharing this and for the clear explication! I'll try it out!Greetings from Luxembourg!

thanks for sharing, it was very informative. I've been torn as to what type of a shelter I want in my get home bag. This would be inexpensive and not weigh a lot.Thanks again!

Nice job! Keep up the good work!

Personally, I like have my 10'x12' silicone tarp stretched to it's fullest extent suspended 3-5' above my bivy sack. Living in Alaska I like to be able to see 360 degrees from my sleeping bag, plus the tie downs provide an "early warning" system if large critters trip on them. Also if I am camped away from a water source, the tarp gathers water in a storm.

Great tarp set up idea, thanks!

A canvas painters tarp is an inexpensive alternative. Soak it with water so the fibers compress. Let it dry and then waterproof it.

interesting to come back here after he won in the latest season of Alone

woohoo great job sir!!!

Great video man, thanks for sharing :) I subbed

Awesome!

Thanks

Looks like you'll make me subscribe :) I also like you idea using same tarp for hammock. I had same idea, but didn't sew the tarp yet to test What's your tarp size and fabric?

Can this be done with a rectangular Tarp such as a DD Tarp.

what kind of tarp is that? what is it made out of?

epic i love it been looking for a page like this were some goo dold fashion know how is explained to those of us without the know how. and there isnt a bunch of excess talking

Is this Riggins area?

Great videos and all but what's an 'Anler' @0:19?! :-p Lol

I like, thank you very much, learned a thing or two. Subbed. Trying not to nit pick and sound like a dick, but you may want to spell check your intro at :20 second mark.

I'm going to be homless in about a week, guess the woods are going to be my home real soon. lost my job etc. any tips for surviving the winter? its October here now. I only have a hoodie or two and my jeans

You can also turn it into a cocoon, rest in it for a while and then emerge from it with your new wings and fly home to civilization.

is that tarp camel skin?
