How To Make Your Tarp System

I have been using this tarp system since March 2017 and it is a modified version of one that Mike from "MCQ Bushcraft" used in some of his older videos. Everything is packaged together, so when you are ready to tarp camp you simply grab-and-go! Once the process is practiced, everything can be setup in 5-7 minutes. I love this setup but let me know what you think. Thanks for watching! - Clint

Have now watched several videos on setting up tarps like this, but yours is the best by far. Easy to follow & many good tips about how to practice setting up, etc. thanks!

I've spent a little time on this and I learned a lot from this. I've bought a bunch of clips and stuff to simplify my setup. Really though, at this point I'm just doing what this guys doing and will still drop pack weight by getting rid of all those clips. I'm at 15lb right now and always looking to improve. I can run with my pack and I have everything I need completely, that feels like a little freedom. nothing can be improved from what this guy is doing, other than dyneema, thats the only thing period. just don't buy all the extras like I did, total waste of money at this point. This guy just saved me some weight. I'm gonna figure all of it and leave a comment. I think its gonna be kind of awesome

Quick release? I'm thinkin shananagins:) Thanks for the video this is way better, mine is over- complicated. all dyneema so thats nice but I could add some simplicity from yours and it would be a better setup
