I get a lot of questions about using a tarp when I backpack, rather than a tent or a hammock. Among the questions I answer in this video are these:

–What are the main advantages of a tarp? –What about rain? –What about bugs and snakes? –How do you set up without trekking poles? –How do you use a bivy sack and an umbrella? –How important is site selection to staying dry in the rain? –How can I get started backpacking with a tarp?

And here’s a FOLLOW-UP video titled “More Square Tarp Set-Ups,” featuring some of the ways I set up my tarp when I used it to thru-hike the entire Appalachian Trail in 2018–youtube.com/watch?v=zetBiNj9NMc
