Sorry, don't know what you mean. This takes about four minutes to set up...

Your obviously more experienced than me in making a camp.

Hi, I've never encountered a time when I was not able to use my system or had to "change it" other than having to stake directly to the ground in really bad weather. That's not a fault in setup, it's just what you have to do with tarps occasionally. I do use a leanto setup also as shown in my other video in which case the guylines are left wrapped up. These are just my suggestions, so if you've found a way you prefer of course you should use it. Thx for watching and for the comment.

Hi, I've used this setup with trekking poles and other variations in a pinch and it's always worked great. It's a very adaptable system but try everything out at home before you go out to be sure you solve any problems there instead of in the backcountry. Thx for watching. ML

Mike I just got a good tarp and looks like a great setup to try question though is why the ridge line is running outside opposed to inside of the tarp? thanks

if possible, I keep the ridgeline on the outside to avoid the possibility of rain wicking down the line and dripping inside the tarp as well as the added stability of multiple prusik knots. With larger tarps, I often drape the tarp over the ridgeline, but the tarps I use have the ties attached so why not use them. :>) Hope this answers your questions and thanks for watching. ML

After I asked the question I figured that was your reasoning thanks again mike
