In this video, we show you how to put up a camping tarp to create additional shelter from the rain when you are camping.
Follow the steps to see how to put up a tarp alone (without help from others) using tarp poles.
We are using an Easy Camp 3m x 3m tarp kit that includes the tarp flysheet, two tarp poles, guylines, and tent pegs. However, you can use this technique to pitch any tarp using poles instead of trees.
We also look at how you can use a tarp to build a sheltered entrance to your tent.
I was lucky to have a little helper in this video. But it's easy to do this yourself.
1. From the ridge line, peg out the two guylines.
2. Repeat for the other end of the ridge line.
3. Insert the poles to push the tarp up.
If it gets windy and you need to temporarily get the tarp down, remove the poles and peg it to the ground. As soon as the weather improves, push the poles back in to put the tarp up again.
More details on the tarp kit can be found here: https://www.getoutwiththekids.co.uk/c...
Camping tarps are lightweight and a great addition to your camping kit.
They provide an easy way to extend your living space and help keep you dry when camping in wet weather.
Plus, it's MUCH safer to cook under a tarp shelter than in your tent.
If you want more protection from the elements, put up some windbreaks around the sides.
