In this video I do a couple of things... First of all, I get rid of the heavy carabiners on my ENO DoubleNest hammock and show you how to hang the hammock without them. I then go through and spend the rest of the video giving you an overview of how I like to setup my Kelty Noah 12 tarp for camping. I absolutely love this tarp as it is lightweight, affordable, and takes up very little pack space.
Again, the tarp I use when camping / hiking / backpacking is the Kelty Noah's Tarp 12. This is a 12 foot by 12 foot silnylon tarp. My preferred configuration is in a pseudo-square setup as it allows you to tie the ends together to enhance privacy in the woods (not that you need it all the time :). The only thing that would have made this tarp better (strictly in my opinion) would be if they offered it in a camo pattern.
For more info on the tarp, here's what the manufacturer has to say about it:
"The Noah's Tarp is instant shade. This ultralight, affordable shelter is handy to have aboard when you want weather protection in a hurry, whether you are traveling over land or water. Handy for boating, camping, backpacking, sporting events, and festivals."

![Abandoned Mountain Town, Elkmont, TN - Ghost Town Day Hike
Elkmont was once a thriving vacation destination for affluent folks from the cities of Tennessee. Some time ago, the land was bought up as a result of the Smoky Mountain National Park being formed. In short, due to various red tape, the buildings have not yet been torn down as was the plan by the park service, leaving a ghost town of sorts for folks to enjoy. In this video our group hiked around the area for a bit to explore some of whats left of this pseudo ghost town.
