I used this setup on an overnighter yesterday. It works really well.

The rain came and I stayed dry inside with the doors fully open.

…and what's more, so did my CPAP kit. I slept for a fantastic 11.6 hours!

When I arrived the ground was already wet so I used the sheet from an IPK as a groundsheet.

Plenty of room inside too.

Very nice, it's good to see how much room you've got in the back behind the front pole.

Did you get much of a wind test? It looks quite sheltered and cosy in that spot.

Thanks guys.

It was pretty sheltered.

The wind wasn't bad at all - nothing significant enough to give it a good test.

Rain-wise, there was enough of the IPK sheet to bodge a partially bath-tubbed floor by using a few strategically placed bits of firewood to push the surplus IPK against the floor and up the wall of the tarp-tent.

Inspired by this thread, I helped a another forum member, davidpingu, put up a variation in the layout in the video, using a corner to corner pitch rather than a square one, for an overnighter last night. Some idea though.

It held perfectly despite some swirling and gusting winds, and very heavy rain.
