Tarp setup

It takes 8 pegs, two poles or sticks, and one tree but it makes a roomy low-profile shelter that'd be more than adequate for most weather situations.

It'd sleep two if you didn't mind being really cozy but more than likely it's a one-man shelter.

At approximately 9' deep it's more than enough for most folks and should keep all but horizontal rain from coming in far enough to soak a sleeping bag and pad.

While this isn't quite what was constructed in yesterday's video, it is the tarp shelter I've become most familiar with pitching. I tried the Etowah tarp pitch but just can't seem to get the crisp lines and tension I can with this pitch. I'll keep trying. I think I need some longer sticks for the front to make the video pitch work for this tarp.

Thanks for reading,
