Even better than a t-shirt is an old tennis ball with a X cut into it. It will grip sticks of different sizes within 1-1½" size range quite happily and extremely secure once in place. We made these shelters for years when wild camping but with a 12'x15' tarp.

I've got one better for you that I use pretty often when tarp camping. Use a rock or tennis ball inside the tent and tie your rope around it from the outside. Throw that over a limb or at a steep angle to a tree and pull the tarp up. That way you aren't fighting around a stick in there moving around.

26 years ago I was a thru-hike. I started with $300 gortex bivy sack and a $6 walmart tarp. The tarp became the shelter, the other sent home and that system lasted 1200 miles. I was often dryer than others who had normal tents as mine was versatile and I'd give a whole lot more attention to wind direction and drainage versus others with more "secure" tents.

If you have a slightly larger tarp, you can fold it under before you do this to give you protection from the ground too. If you leave the open side downwards then water won't come in either, Or you can actually create a dish with it that will keep water off of you as well. If it's not raining, I often will just turn it into a burrito and not even bothered with a stick. Same in the desert. It's usually a burrito to keep the critters and whatnot out.

You spent 300 on a tent where a tarp is about 25, depending on what kind, heavy, you could spend 50 or 60 for a really good one and would likely last longer. I've had a range of tents and my tarps have always worked more efficiently.

SO COOL!! Great short my friend! Its what I always carry when Im ADV exploring in the back country. We grew up using our sheets of visiqueen from our construction company for a tent doing just this. From our farm my brother would go onto the woods for a week or more at a time in the summer pretty much living off the land- we did take a lighter, a cast iron skillet, a bf knife/hatchet-there was plenty in he wods and creeks/rivers to eat. Loved those times. Then we moved to Alaska in the early 70s and lived between two glaciers. Not too much difference than MI except bigger mountains. Really great adventures.

Yes, but you are still laying on a wet ground. Then you have to worry about potential heavy rain that could wash out that area. Then the issue with ticks and annoying insects. Depending on location, you may have snakes that would love to join your shelter. I'm not against using tarps. They are great for hammock camping. Granted, a ground tarp is better than laying out in the elements. Comfort becomes far more important as you get older. If you decide to do this setup, then take time to prepare the site. Clear away all leaves, sticks, rocks, etc. Make sure the ground is cleared of everything, and the location is away from water and potential flooding. Then pitch the tarp with opening facing away from wind direction. Best to find pine needles or other nearby materials for a dry bedding. A quality inflatable pad to lay on is a must. Plan accordingly in advance and test multiple setups prior to your trip. Happy Camping!

We used these types of shelters in a wilderness therapy program i did Called Crossings in Alaska. We got trained how to survive and canoe and island hopped protected wilderness areas in the panhandle of alaska out of Wrangell. Not a single human being besides us simce they where protected by fish and game, the program had special access. We had to do 2 mile crossings between islands on canoes lol got acary sometimes. I was only 16 years old. We had to carry weeks worth of food and stuff in our canoes, and a bunch of gear. A bunch if kids would complain but i loved it. So much beatiful scenery and a cool experience. My cloths would reek of mold and mildew lol since, we had no way to do laundry. We did 3 treks. One we did the island hopping and canoed 125 miles of ocean and coastline, then we canoed down the Stakine river through British Columbia canada down to the Stakine river delta in wrangell, then we hiked a mountain. The mountain was the roughest part, we got caught in a storm with sideways sleet and couldnt even summit because the weather was so bad, we where all soaking wet and freezing cold most miserable ive been outdoors. Super cool program glad i was a little shithead and got to all that haha.
