    Ways to pitch tarps

    I ran across this over a backpacking light and thought some here might benefit from it, I know I have.

    I have been dabbling in diy tarps and this changes my perspective on how I can create more modular systems for different needs.

    Enjoy!

    I tried it on a couple computers here and it seems to work. Is anyone else having a problem opening it?

    It opened fine for me.

    Quite a few interesting setups - not sure how practical some would be, but interesting nonetheless.

    I can get to it but the text is in Chinese. I changed the url and got to the home page but can't find my way to the section about tarps.

    I use Google Chrome and there is a translate function button in the top left corner that I have auto translate web pages in languages other than English. Haven't tried to open with any other browser.

    I used Google and changed the language to English.

    I like the concepts of multiple tarps. Doesn't limit you to 1 or 2 configurations.

    Edit: Tendertoe is faster than me

    Opened fine here. Could you translate the type for me? Some of those looked interesting.
    It'll be alright Friday!

    I'm on my work computer, so it may be blocking it. Sorry...
