Tarp tent

Yesterday I experimented with clove and bowline knots and setting up a tarp tent. I sharpened some sticks for rudimentary stakes. I forgot to take outside pictures of the two tents I set up, but I have one of the inside.

 I learned that when tying the tarp to a tree that the opeing should be done maybe 2-3 feet off the ground depending on the size of the tarp. Mine is about 7x9 or something to that effect. That way you can tuck in the edges as needed and prevent drafts along the ground. With just a rope, tarp, and small metal stakes you can have a light tent kit for 3 season camping.
