Please SUBSCRIBE for more backpacking videos and click on the bell to be notified of new videos. Thanks! This video is about backpacking tarp set-ups. I show set-ups for a flat square tarp that I actually used on the Appalachian Trail during my thru-hike in 2018. These set-ups kept me dry and warm. I never had any problem with condensation.
My gear: a flat square tarp, 8.5 foot, from Hyperlite Mountain Gear; a bug bivy from Mountain Laurel Designs (also recommended--their "superlight bivy," which I also use); a Dyneema ground sheet from ZPacks; and Reflectix cut torso-length. In rain I sometimes put an umbrella at the front of the tarp. Now I often clip my rain jacket to the front.
My set-ups aren't complicated, but the reason they differ from night to night is because I decide where I'm going to sleep first (since I don't use a sleeping pad, I search for a comfortable spot on the ground) and then set up my tarp around the spot.
