Huge Tarp Den Thunderstorm Camping

​For this camp I used a massive 5x5m tarp to create a stealthy nook to spend the night. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it, but started by hanging the middle tie-out point from a ridgeline between two evergreens, making use of the surrounding foliage for camouflage

I kept securing different points until I’d created a sort of floating cube shape, which I then pegged into the ground, covered with looooads of camo netting, leaves, twigs and moss to blend it in as much as I could

I really loved it. It wasn’t the stealthiest that I’ve ever made, but it was good enough, and inside was huge! It had such den vibes, and I had a beautiful night in the woods, cooking meat on my firebox and hanging out with all the small critters

After a long sleep and bacon baps, a thunderstorm rolled in with rain and loud rumbles and booms. It was a really wonderful camp and it felt kind of a shame to pack it away
