Canvas Tarp Tent On The Cheap

How to turn an inexpensive canvas painters drop cloth into a very useable tent just by how you set it up. How & where to attach the "tie downs" on the tarp is also explained. I would like to thank "clippertalk" for the new "Far North Bushcraft And Survival" logo at the end of the video.

What is the size of the pole that you used?

@2022e55 I didn't measure it but I would guess it was about 4-5 foot.

Great idea! Wonder what that tarp weighs. Looks like a very roomy shelter. Loved the toggles you used for your tie outs.

@xlr8n99 The weight of the tarp with marbles and cordage loops attached is 7 pounds 11 ounces. Thanks.

@geebus80 If there will be snow where you are going then perhaps a sled dog breed might be useful for skijoring or freight sledding. My idea of the "perfect" dog may not fit your needs at all. Choosing a canine companion is a very personal thing that ultimately only you and the future pal can decide. Wish you luck and happy hunting.

@geebus80 The snow really sticks to his legs bad also. But his coat is different texture than pure bouvier des flandres. Probably the best thing would be to get several books from the library that discusses the different characteristics of dog breeds. Spend a lot of time researching these books for the breeds that match what you are looking for. The internet also has some excellent sites that discusses the pros and cons of the various breeds.
