Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
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.

Great shots fella, I will be returning to the ground for a trial when my tarp arrives . Cheers

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.

Excellent vid and well presented.
Great shelter, and would stand a fair bit of weather for sure.

It's not fully pegged , but is holding up well in the wind :thumbup:

This thread makes it increasingly hard to resist getting a DD3*3 tarp. Some great ideas here, thank you all 
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.
