I got my Tarp from BackPackingLight.co.uk and they sent me a free dvd with great instructions of various ways to set up a tarp.

It's fantastic, I only knew of two different methods but the DVD showed me more variations.

You can watch or download the file from here.......www.http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product368.asp?PageID=106

Well worth watching, believe me.

p.s. I've no connection with the company at all....i'm just a satisfied customer.

Searching Youtube is also a great idea. There's plenty of good instructionals.

The real key is never have anywhere on the tarp that water can pool, keep it low to the ground if there's any wind and don't choose a spot that water might lie.
