Tarp Tent

A tarp is an essential piece of outdoor kit, anyone who has built their own debris shelter knows just how much time and effort goes into one and a tarp would be a God send when shelter is needed.. there are many tarp configurations and here is a neat one , all you need is a tarp and some tent poles
 
 
 
the poles should be about 14inches longer than the diagonal length of the tarp, simply fit them diagonally
 
 
and that's it, a shelter/tarp/tent, prop it up like a lean to, sleep under it like a dome tent, or even suspend it for a roof, and best of all this arrangement doesn't need trees!

 
The poles are handy for numerous things too like a fishing rod, tie them together for a lightweight fiberglass bow, or even use them for arrows..
