Adding a third ridge line above the double on the square arch set-up, would probably work to shed rain. Love the last one, too. Thank you.

Great video, taught me some new configurations and I absolutely love the water bottle rain catcher...

I'll be honest. My mind was blown with that last one ha.

Great video!!! I can’t tell you enough how pleased I am with the free solider tarp! I saw it first in one of your videos. Today I hung my first hammock and tarp, two weeks ago catfished in the rain... loving all the different ways to set it up. Thanks for demoing these configurations! 💯💯💯

I like the star config. I found your video on it about a year ago, I think. I was impressed with how much room it had, and how quick it was to put up. By the time I got around to trying it for myself, I lost the video. Now I'm back on track, thanks I'm glad you re-did it.

Thanks for the informative video! Can't wait to get my tarp and start experimenting!

Excellent demos, thank you for your work!!

Great tarp configurations. Really helpful.

My favorites are the plow point shelter for a square tarp & Holden shelter for a rectangle. The Star shelter does look simple. Thanks for sharing!

I do like the star. It's quick and practical. All the setups were neat to watch and definitely a couple of new ones for me. Great vid!

Thanks for the helpful ideas. All configuration is really great, i'm gonna try them. Have a great day!

Il y a tellement de possibilités et de variantes que l'on ne doit pas être loin de la centaine. Ce qui est génial, c'est qu'il y a toujours un petit truc qui améliore. Bravo pour cette sympathique démonstration !

Number one looks great, Time to try it! Thanks for sharing.

I was almost disappointed at not seeing the tarp tent but pleasantly surprised by the star set up will definitely be trying this next time I'm out . Very good video thanks

Thank you for the video, I think I'm going to start using the star

Great organization and explanations of the tarp variations. Love the links to your other videos as well. You’ve earned a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing this. Peace.

Bravo. Excellent presentation! Just what I was looking for. Many thanks! 😎👍🏻💯

Awesome set ups. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing I’m going to put my skills to the test this week to prepare myself for thru hiking the CDT

Nice ! Thank you for the ideas.

Well done. I use a modification of the Forestor called the Beaked Forestor where the peak is moved closer to the front corner. It doesn't close all the like the classic version, but still offers ample protection. I only close off my tarps in horrible, blowing weather or when the skeeters are especially bad [if I don't have a bug net]. The square arch is new to me. And here I thought I knew them all.

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing

Love those last two tarp setups bro! Subbed! Greetings from Scotland 👍 🔥 👍

Thay free soldier tarp is awesome! I love mine! Thanks for the new ideas to set it up.

Bro, your video blew my mind. #1 is super legit

Excellent job, brother, as usual. Thanks.

Good tarp demo, thanks and take care.

Really nice setups and quick.

Star configuration is one of my favourites go to setups to👍

I use the simple A-frame pitch most of the time, especially now that I have the Onetigris mesh tent you covered a bit ago. But the star has always been my favorite bad weather pitch.

Thanks, liked your videos. Just like many others, I think I'll be using the star configuration. Nicely done

Thank you for making this video!

Love your number 1. Can't be any simpler than that.

Excellent setups brother !!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Subbed!

Thanks for sharing Cheers from Sweden!

Nice Ken. Thanks.

Thank you. #1 for sure.

Useful info, brother. Nicely done.

I always use the Adirondack with one modification. I use two poles for the front porch because I have my fire next to the shelter, front center. I don't want my guy line to burn and break. Otherwise, I luvs it.

I really like that star setup

Worth it to see the last tarp set up! That star configuration is genius - Outstanding!

I love the star tent. It's even a simpler setup than a tarp tent.

Just stumbled across this video and it was enough to make me like and subscribe. Very useful info. 👍😊

Good stuff, hoping to get out soon to try some stuff with my DD 4 meter tarp

Fairly new follower here. Just wanted to say that i love your content. Very cool channel. ATB, My friend.

Great expedient shelters!

Best I've seen yet.

The star looks awesome

Muy guapas las configuraciones ✌🤠👍

Good video. Great ideas

Well done and enjoyed the video

Absolutely love that tarp! I have owned mine for a year now, with zero issues. Please do a review, would like to know your thoughts on it

that's a nice looking tarp..if you had two of them you could put two of the #4's together and have good room and total enclosed.. maybe porch one while cooking.. then reconfigure for overnight..

Great video, thank you. Another subscriber.

Great Tent ideas! Enjoyed the video! New subscriber!

Thank for the ideas! What backpack were you using in this episode and do you like it?

just Subscribed looking forward to seeing your videos

Depending on the time of year ..even with a bug net...I like the Forrester!

Just a quick thought you can put a peak it by utilizing the top row of tie outs with a 3 guideline or you can get a stick long enough to spend the Gap and Arch it over and it will hold it like a tent pole

Love the square arch tarp setup! Plan to use it on my next outing. Where can i find a mosquito net like the one you use?

I will try #2--simple, and it has a floor and a view.

Excellent! Mike B. MWW

keeping it simple kenny , i like them all ..ive came up with a strong ground anchor set up on my channel if you ever need a strong tie out point to the ground .. see ya at the meet . billy joe

Well I really like the first one and the last one, the square and the star. Or is that box and star? Thanks for the video my man. 👍

Thanks Kenny! See ya' next week! ZZ.

I'm a new convert to tarps, and I'm thinking, why do people still haul around tents? I'm lazy when it comes to tents, but seriously, tarps are so versatile! Well, I'll see you in Daniel Boone National Forest next month 👍🇩🇰🇺🇸

That was a great video. I found myself wondering why I bought a tent and may just set it aside in favor of the tarp and a mosquito net. I liked that it was a quick overview and that if I did need more information there was another video I could watch. Sometimes I don’t want to be burdened with a detailed explanation. The setups are pretty simple. But if I did, then having another video to go to is a solid compliment to this video. Trekking poles came up a couple of times. Do you actually use them for hiking or are they just substitute tent poles? I ask because I am wondering about the price/quality of poles I would need to add to my kit.

Bein' a lazy sort, I especially like that Star. I'd used lean-to types modded to location. My 4-footed bud, really' liked them when that screech owl scared him during the night. Kinda worried me a bit when he came scrambling in.

Super instructions for building a shelter and clearly explained! What dimensions does your tarp have? Shelter number 1 has no mistake, I give thumb up !

Kenny, thanks for sharing !

The only additional comment I think you should emphasize is that these require a square tarp vice a rectangular tarp to achieve the configuration you suggest. Other than that small addition, nice video and very informative. Thanks for sharing.

Ok now I'm tarp shopping.

Nice tarp what kind is it?

High, my number one is the closed triangle-setup ( DD 3X3 ). Kindly Fiete

All great shelters, but my favorite would be the Whelen setup!

I like your tarp! The brown one w orange edges. What is it? Thanks

Very nice! What's the tarp your using ?

Not ugly 😁

what was the size of tarp you used

Youre in different part of country woods more dense lots of fallen pines and 1m trunk diameter in oaks.

The star is so simple!

New subscriber here so you may have already answered the question. Where did you get your tarp?

What tarps are you using and what's there size. Great video, thanks

Tarps are pretty handy. Sometimes I'll strap one to the pack even if I'm setting up a tent. You can set up a nice commen area in the event of weather for hanging out.

Kenny, what size Coughlans bug nut are you using under your tarps? The single or double? Maybe I missed it in a previous video, but I don't recall.

Man those are some UglyTents! :P Jk, nice setups. My go to is a 8x10 cheap poly tarp in a tarp tent config. A little different than your last one. How's the quality of those Free Soldier tarps?

R not afraid the sticks will poke holes in the nylon? I like it a lot but can you use anything other than pointy sticks?

some pretty nice setups but number 3 was nothing like an Adirondack setup

What size tarp is that. I missed it. Never mind. I see in the comments, 10x10. Nice vid. Thanx Tex.

What size is your tarp??? What kind?please give description and name!!!

How come you didn't use the one Tigris tarp, do you still like it better than the free soldier tarp?

Star👍

Great video!! Bushcraft outfitters 10x10?

What tarp is that?

Looks like you need to start practicing your knots... might make it easier... liked the video, need to tighten the cords on most of the tarp/ tent configurations.

Is that a sharpening stone around your neck? If it is, what is it called and where can I find one on the internet?

I have a 15 by 19 ft blue tarp what shelter you can make with that I'll bet

What size tarp are you using in that star?
