Today Mason and Sam from The Pallet Fortress show you how to build a rock-solid tarp shelter using just a tarp, tent pegs, cord or rope, and a stick or branch 🌲⛺
This simple but effective tarp shelter setup is perfect for camping, bushcraft, survival, overlanding, and backyard testing. Our friends at @Tarpsnow sent us one of their heavy-duty tarps to seriously put through its paces — and we didn’t hold back.
This tarp features 16 reinforced tie-out points, giving you way more shelter configurations than most standard tarps. In this video, we break down the setup step by step, including:
Proper tent staking technique
How to tension your tarp's guyline correctly
Using a branch or walking stick for tarp support
Preventing tears and damage to the tarp
Tying a Taut-Line Hitch for adjustable tension
Whether you’re new to tarp shelters or looking to improve your camping setup, this build is simple, fast, and extremely versatile.
You can find high-quality tarps like the one used in this video — plus custom-built tarp options — over at TarpsNow.
