Super Stealth Camping! 3x3 Multicam Tarp

I made a super-stealthy shelter for this camp!
 
This time without using camo netting, but instead a 3x3m camo tarp folded into a low-envelope-style config but propped up at only one end with my trekking poles. I used leaves to blend the bottom lines of the tarp into the ground, and evergreen boughs pinched from a fallen tree to disguise the top and side lines - hooked into the tarp tie-out points to hold them in place
 
I’m so pleased with how this turned out! If I didn’t know it was there, I would never notice it, and I had a lovely, freezing night out in the woods, totally hidden. I listened to the crows, caught some questionable footage of what I assume was a fox on my trail cam, although I think it looked more like a hyena. Not sure we have those here though so
 
The shelter was just the right height to be low-profile while providing plenty of room to snug and be cosy without feeling claustrophobic but while retaining a few degrees of heat (although it wasn’t high enough to sit up in). I had a gorgeous sleep under a bright moon, and woke to find the shelter still looking very stealthy by the morning. There was some slight slippage of the leaves due to the tarp being a smoother surface than camo netting, but for the most part it was all still in place – one of my stealthiest I reckon!
 
I’m really loving the camo tarp! (Or basha, if you prefer). I think it’s my favourite now, preferable to the solid-colour ones for me in most instances
