If I see it correctly, you've pitched down all 4 corners of the rectangular tarp and lifted a long side of the tarp - very easy peasy - thanks for sharing!
Only thing I must ask you : what are the dimensions of the tarp, what it is made of and where can you get it?

Do I spy a 551 Griptilian, or is it a Ritter RSK MKI?
David it sounds cool but I can't work it out in my small head how that works how does having a small rock in the centre hold the tarp up in a pyramid shape? Please help my feeble mind understandMoine said:4) For true storms, a good system is to simply wrap a round rock in the middle of the tarp, and tie it from the other side with cord. That creates a grommetless (and hole-free) anchor point that allows you to hang the whole thing with all sides closed. Then you crawl into your "pyramid" and you stay dry even in the worst of thunderstorms. Just make sure you don't hang your shelter from the highest tree in the sector...
