Adding a third ridge line above the double on the square arch set-up, would probably work to shed rain. Love the last one, too. Thank you.

Well done. I use a modification of the Forestor called the Beaked Forestor where the peak is moved closer to the front corner. It doesn't close all the like the classic version, but still offers ample protection. I only close off my tarps in horrible, blowing weather or when the skeeters are especially bad [if I don't have a bug net]. The square arch is new to me. And here I thought I knew them all.

That was a great video. I found myself wondering why I bought a tent and may just set it aside in favor of the tarp and a mosquito net. I liked that it was a quick overview and that if I did need more information there was another video I could watch. Sometimes I don’t want to be burdened with a detailed explanation. The setups are pretty simple. But if I did, then having another video to go to is a solid compliment to this video. Trekking poles came up a couple of times. Do you actually use them for hiking or are they just substitute tent poles? I ask because I am wondering about the price/quality of poles I would need to add to my kit.

Tarps are great for many things but if in need of a functional and superior shelter why not simply bring the outer tent from e.g. a tunnel tent along with the lightweight "tent poles". It will assure a solid structure that is wind and weather proof. I personally do not use walking sticks, and don't really know any outdoor people who do, but I bet that the weight and the size of my outer tent with its poles is less than your tarp and your walking sticks. Okay, the tarp is still great for sleeping in a hammock, or if you for some reason want an open faced structure of sorts, but otherwise I would always recommend to simply bring your outer tent, if you have one of course, and rest like a king.

I used to never use hiking poles but I am super glad I had them on the last trip I took to the Hoosier National Forest. Most trails in the area I was in are hiking and horse trails. It had rained the day before and some spots were pretty muddy. With 35lbs on your back its nice to have more points of contact with the muddy ground. I should also note that I felt I could hike longer distances and at a quicker pace than without them especially through elevation changes since my arms were helping share the load. Also nice to have for moving aside long grass and scrub brush to check for snakes(timber rattlers) when venturing off the trail. And since they served a dual purpose of help when hiking and also used for my shelter the small amount of extra weight over light weight tent poles, to me, is well justified.
