Thanks for the video! I've started showing my kids how to build shelters this past spring. We're going to watch this together and try out some new designs: )
I usually use a bowline on the static end of the ridge line because they're a little easier to untie after they've been under tension. I like the use of toggles to lock in the prusik knots though, I'm going to try that!
As far as tarps, that one you're using looks big and versatile. In my pack, I have a US military poncho, which has grommets around the edges so it can be tied to a ridge line and staked down. It's smaller than the tarp you're using, and hard to set up something you could stand in. But it also means I'm carrying one piece of gear that can be worn as a poncho that drapes over my pack, as well as being used as a basic shelter. So for light-weight backpacking in the mountains it's pretty good.

Great overview! My goto is probably a lean to with the roof angled down/ wedge, because I'm lazy and it covers most situations for me. All good unless the wind changes on you in the middle of the night.
Where's the stinky sock though? ;) Not sure if that video is still around or has disappeared into the depths of the internet.

Not sure you did the one i use, basically do a lean to but only 3/4 of the tarp and wrap the last 1/4 underneath you for a bit of a ground sheet.
Great content mate! Really useful, I'll be trying some of these soon, like the look of the c fly wedge.
Any chance of a useful knot vid?

The different tarp setups are inspiring, thanks! I recently saw a cool trick where you can push a stone up from underneath and tie it up from above to make it into an improvised anchor point for the tarp for a guy line. Looking forward to trying that out next time.

Nessuna proposta mostra cosa potrebbe succedere anche solo di fronte ad un piccola e breve pioggia. e con l'autunno cosa significa bivaccare all'aperto. video per l'estate!
