  1. Hope this comment doesn't end up in your e-mail by mistake. The idea of showing people how to make a shelter out of a tarp is a good idea. This could come in handy for people using them in a car kit, tarps take up less room than a tent.

  2. All comments come to my email. Most make it into the comment section. For some reason a few don't. I understand this is a blogger issue. Fortunately yours made it this time!!!

    Tarps are cheap and with this setup you don't even need ropes. Add a reflector to your fire and you have a method of staying warm and dry.

  4. Great way for providing extra shelters for kid backyard sleepouts. It wasn't always fear that drives youngsters indoors at dark o thirty, its the moisture / condensation settling on them that does it. A shelter like this would help in that regard.

    Thanks for the video link.
