Tarp setup for this weekend

[tom.moran]

ok, so going to the woods for a couple of night this weekend, got my new dd large/group shelter tarp to use. was kindof hoping i could find a way of enclosing the ends a bit to help with the 58mph winds that are predicted lol. anyone know where i can find a video or guide on how to do it?

here are a few ideas for you

An easy way to get some extra protection is to peg out from the inner tie outs rather than the corner ones, I've got a pic somewhere in the depths on Photobucket, I'll see if I can dig it out again

Next page lol



That pic is a bit misleading but you get the idea, you won't get total closure but it's a lot better than without.

Just realised you mention group tarp, so forget all that It's more for hammocking than group shelter

i did this, it worked well, although i only carab'd the loops together and it left about a 2 inch gap. next time ill work out how to close it off completely.

If you're thinking of something like that on a regular basis, setting small eyelets along one or two (opposite) sides of the tarp would enable you to lace it up as & when reqd. I did this mod to my TN Big Tarp and it works very well when set up as a tarp-tipi.

I might try that with my new alpkit rig 21
