I love going on your test adventures with you Luke. I'm an old woman who can't do what you're doing anymore, so these adventures make my day...good memories and new adventures from the safety of my home. Thank you!

Luke, I love your channel, you and Susie do a wonderful job. You are my go-to for advice on the gear I pick up for my own camping trips. I would love to see two videos. Both videos along the same line of thinking. The first one a my "first grab / best backpacking" gear. Out of all your gear if you were going out for a standard backpacking trip what would you grab. IE: your favorite backpack, tarp, sleeping bag, stove, lights, clothing and so on. The second using the same idea but for car camping. IE: a larger tarp, tent, stove, chairs and so on that you have in your collection. NOT a top 10 or top 5 but your number one pick out of what you have to pick from right now. Thanks, from a long-time subscriber and fan.

Luke I think BL thinking outside the box got it spot on just that their designer didnt illustrate with few picture configurations and wer the options was to run the guide lines even from outside cos you just ain't got six But 8 lines to work from its Hexagon shape..you can bring sides down from minimum 4 ends as well..if wind is in all directions at tyms❤❤❤❤❤

@manuelprenzlow7652 15 днів тому

it's a tarp for crying out loud. If you want a tent, bring a tent. If you are in a bind and only have that tarp, I think it is doing a pretty good job of keeping you dry.

@diggerblair7460 15 днів тому

Could stake out 3 sides use stick in front so you blocking wind all but one way ya like you said won't have much head room but in a pinch it would work as a shelter that way it would be wonky like you said because of the shape but in real life survival I would make it work love the channel

Id have chosen another layout if it was gonna be a tarp shelter. But thats his choice

@middlejester51 14 днів тому

Hi Luke, i actually own this item and have set it up very effectively in a plowpoint configuration. As long as you get the direction right, you can completely block the wind and surprisingly still have the headroom for a chair. I’m not surprised your setup didn’t block the wind, but even a square tarp set up well above the ground would have the same problem

@martymartin2894 14 днів тому

Way too high to stop the wind.

@brionbearclaw7476 12 днів тому

That's what I was thinking - a plowpoint set up like a TIE bomber wing with one edge to the ground.

@charliemcdowell5231 15 днів тому

Luke, much respect for your videos and being agenda free. Perhaps it’s the camera angle but it truly looks to me like you could have pitched this tarp significantly lower while still having enough headspace at the peak to sit. That being said, I do agree with you about this not being a good shape for a tarp, and I agree that there are better options for a dedicated tarp. I’m simply confused as to why you did not go with a lower pitch. Thanks for the video, always an enjoyable watch.

@butwhytho4858 6 днів тому

Thought the same thing… maybe it was just the angle yeah idk… First time to the channel and I have thoughts lol.. like, not everyone is cooking. Not everyone needs to sit upright in a chair. He’s got tons of headroom… 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk what to make of it, but I do like to see new products

The ad for the item says floor/shelter. Now set it up as a shelter in a plow point configuration and get low. It worked perfectly as a tarp, kept you mostly dry. Now you can, set up a tarp as a shelter as well as this floor.

Good to know. Love the red backpack Luke! Easily seen which in some cases is a very good thing. I know how glad you are to have that old faithful stump which is a multi-purpose natural piece of camp furniture. The "Tarp" is a tent floor only or a shade cloth for a good weather picnic.

@jameshall5784 15 днів тому

There is more than one configuration that you could use the tarp for and not every situation is ideal. You're not always going to be able to use a chair have a fire have everything the way you like it. What if your tent was shredded?? It would work to keep you out of the elements and keep you dry. It's survival.

Ebb and flow. We get a high heat index and a warning about it. Usually within 24 hours of when it ends, we get tornadoes.

I did a rainy day hike here in NorCal 4-13-24 to Black Minor’s Bar near Folsom CA about 2 miles from Folsom prison (you know, Johnny Cash, that Folsom.) Soaking rain all day, made coffee under the shade structure at Black Minor’s Bar, looked for Bald Eagles, there is a nest nearby with a trail cam, go to Lake Natoma trail cam. I make coffee with my little Soto Amicus and a GSI boiler. Had a good time.

@jamesellsworth9673 14 днів тому

'EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY...' (Rod Stewart) I think I see that this 'tarp' COULD be lowered with some attention to wind direction. As you say, single person use. You also are enjoying the comfort of a chair (and I would always bring one.) I feel this product makes 'some sense' for use as a tarp, with a kneeling pad to get the butt off the ground. Of course, it makes more sense for its intended use as a ground sheet for its tent. Still, as a short fella, I could make this 'tarp' work better if it was all I had with me.

Useful test. And, good reminder for folks trying to incorporate tarps more for camping on what to consider. Glad you weren't planning to stay longer, especially being that close to a bear trail. I wouldn't want to be there on the night he decided to come back through. And, not healthy to camp knowing you had no protection from the wind. Hope you planned to stay at your "cabin" up there ... otherwise a very long drive for a few hours of testing. Appreciate you.

Eurohike do a tarp a similar shape in the UK, i used it as a kitchen shelter on a family camp and it rained most of the time.

I cant wait to use it! We cant get Greenelephant tarp poles here, but i got one that looks almost identical so im hoping its good. Got some Aquaquest straps aswell so it shouldnt move anywhere

@rosemarynazar562 14 днів тому

Wondering about the tarp, and how it might work if you just tied down 4 ends like you would with a normal rectangular tarp? While you were taking this one apart it appeared to be in the right configuration once the two extra ends were untied? If that makes sense. Maybe that would work better, or maybe not. lol Love your videos! Great job.

@WilliamCheangSingapore 14 днів тому

I believe the so-called “Tarp”. Its “dual-purposel” is to be pitched as an extension of the tent to be used as a canopy instead of a standalone”Tarp”. Just like how a Snow Peak tent would. Like those Japanese/Taiwan campers would do to Cook in-front of their tent. The company should had made its intended use clearer of its so.

You are definitely the pro here luke, no doubt about it & I always listen to Everything you tell us. I'm curious, If you took a different tarp, but approx same size but reg shape, would it perform better than this one here ? Are prices comparable, could this weird shape tarp e better used as a small survival like tarp to just cover.one person as a tarp? TY, respect ypur opinion. Have a Blessed Day. Jim

I bought it a while back, but I have a 10X12 nylon tarp I paid about 30 dollars for. Seems like a really good deal right now.

Work as an awning on the tent it came with. Probably what they where thinking when designing it

Big foot trail would be big, too.

Hey Luke. The shape looks very much like the Skjold 10 tarp from AMOK equipment, made for their Draumr hammock, just saying 🙂 Fantastic videos, keep it up.
