How to Set Up a Tarp & Ridge Line - Basic Configuration

E-mail Print PDF
Ashley shows us how to setup a Tarp in a basic configuration using a ridge line. This method could be used to sleep on the ground or using a hammock etc. If you would like to learn more advanced methods of pitching a Basha or Tarp see the Tarpology article.

Really good vid. I tend to use bungees for the tarp which I find more convenient but the real beauty of this video is the knot master class. I find diagrams of knots impossible to follow and I have to have someone actually demonstrate one to me. I like your slip knot on here and the Cawley hitch is the first time I've seen a locking slip knot that I can actually tie. I'm going to file that away and use it on the rigs at a later date.
