Pitching a GoLite Poncho Tarp

Try northwestbushcraft. There is a good tarp video on youtube. I love the 1/2 P- and have used it in some heavy rains and snow. I spent one year using a Golite poncho/tarp and a bivy – 4 seasons of lightness.

try that instead.

Here’s the knot I use.

Golite Poncho Tarp pitched as a half pyramid:

In this case the corners are pitched down to the ground to help protect from wind.

Thanks for the help, especially the pictures Dondo. My wife and I went out in the yard last night and pitched our tarps in the same configuration in about 5 minutes. It was a lot easier than we thought it would be. The pictures really helped!

David, make sure you seam seal the stitching around the hood. When you tie the hood off like in the picture, it pulls on the seam and will probably leak if not sealed. At least that was my experience. Best of luck…..

I'll look into getting seam sealer before we go. Thanks for the tip.
