Three knots for setting a tarp
Jamie Dakota
I’ve written a few articles now on the knots I use when setting up a tarp for camping, but in the video below I combine the three knots I use most often to demonstrate from start to finish how I go about pitching my camp.
Often clients on own Itinerant Bushcraft Course go away from the weekend having been taught these knots, and may not tie them again for a little while or find they have forgotten a particular set in tying the knots. So I hope this video serves a reminder for you and helps you retain the methods as taught on the course.
As always if you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them below.
All the best

These superior cords have been specially selected and trialled for years by Jamie at Howl. 100% polyester they out perform all other options in the forest.
1x 10m long 4mm ridgeline
5x 4m long 2.5mm guylines
2x 200mm long 2mm loops for tensioning prusiks
weight: 190grams approx.
This is now an option to buy 2 additional guylines for extra range, as well as the option to leave your ridge-line at home and use a lightweight setup if you need.
