@wildernessoutfitters absolutely right tarps are also very smal and light when rolled up

Why dont guys put a type of shelter over a camp fire. that way it never gets wet.

@Michaelsolo you do forget if your in a survival situation you might not have anything on your person so really you arnt allways prepared thats why you practice your survival skills so if this does happen and you have nothing but the clothes on your back your ready for what ever is thrown at you

If this guy thinks that a tent alone would be warmer than a tarp he is insane. None of them have any insulating value. The best thing would be to make a debris shelter. 4 feet of compressed debris and you can sleep naked in there!

@wildernessoutfitters He also doesnt seem to take other things into account. Like if he was in the tent the fire would not of been able to be so close so you would of been colder. The tarp kept the rain off you which is what the tent would do, and as far as for the moisture barrier on the ground, yeah of course it would be nice, but with a tent its hard to get a good amount of natural insulation to lie properly. For an overnight shelter it worked great for the intended purpose. Good work dave.

For all you bug out survivalist watching this....... See you will fail with your pocho/tarp RAMBO set up. After a week you be traveling back to FEMA camps. Get a low profile tent, they are very light now. Look, Look at this and remember. This is the first sleet/snow on Ohio and professional instructors are have a tough time at this type of camping.

I have to disagree very strongly with everything you are saying, A Tarp is a Great 1 Noght emergency shelter, this happened to be a very very bad night, but a morepermanent structure of debris should be built the following day and the tarp is great for waterproofing your structure.

This is the results of tarp failure. Multiple days of this looks like fun. Or maybe surviving in your back yard is dangerous. No ground protection, so I guess you have to stay up COLD, COLD, until daylight. Right now a proper light weigh tent, and great sleeping bag, sleeping pad on a tent floor is awsome for the PREPARED SURVIVALIST.

This Tarp ABSOLUTLEY Did NOT Fail it was good and dry underneath of over 1" of sleet and Ice. The failure was in the planning of the shelter for this exteme weather.

I Disagree with you completely on this a Moisture barrier on the ground would have been nice but I was not Cold or Wet and The Next day would have been the time to build a debris type shelter using the Tarp for waterproofing. But a Tarp can keep you dry in an emergency and this one did just that.
