Two Tarp Shelters

LARGE TARP SHELTER.

 

The first is a large tarp shelter which has loads of room underneath: this is some 6' x 6' tarp and can be used as a shelter for a base-camp or just to get everything under cover

As you can see this has steep sides to keep the rain running off, but it is easy to lift the two sides up to get more room, or alternatively to lift one side up and make the other side more vertical and thus make a wind-break. Note: From experience from one night held in a similar shelter at a Midwinter Folk-Moot the latter way seems to hold the smoke inside the shelter. 

Another angle to the same shelter.

This is a more expensive and professional tarp with tabs on the side to tie down with; they do last much longer than the cheap tarps. 

FOLDOVER TARP.

This is one of the cheaper tarps which is smaller, but can be used in a different way by creating a ground sheet; the tarp is folded over to form the ground-sheet.

Both of the above are very fast and simple to put up and tale down; this one is useful for sleeping in.
