This is updated video of how to make an emergency shelter from single square sheet (6’x6’ tarp in this case). It is done in less then 2 min and costs about £2. The weight with the pegs and the pole (can be used walking stick, too) is half kilogram (1lbs). Also the tarp can be used as hammock, rain-cape, etc. See: for pictures with a person inside and some more details and explanations how to fold it.
It is one of the things that everybody interested in surviving and travelling through the wilderness must know how to do.

The advantages compared to the other set up ( ) are that this one is a bit taller, so it is easier to sit inside and eat or have a cup, it uses only one pole, it is better closed and has smaller foot print.
Disadvantages are that being taller is easier to be seen, it is not so stable in wind, it is smaller and not so comfortable, there is need for a longer piece of string.
I used to do this more then 20 years ago in the army with my plasht (or as the Russians call it “plash-palatka“), which has the same size as standart tarp (6’x6’). I think it was alright size 70 years ago, when most of the soldiers were (5’7“), but today it is on the shorter side as I am (about 6’) and 7’x7’ tarp (or other type of material) would be the right size for me.
This is only to show the idea how a square sheet can be folded in a pyramid and by no means a final and perfect shelter solution. There are many improvements that can be done, according each taste. If you have ideas for improvements or bettering the set up please write them in the comment section. Thanks.
