I've been reading tons and tons of posts where people talk about tarps shelters, however I never really got to set one up using knots and rope.

I stumbled across this interesting video that shows two easy to learn knots... for those who, like myself, have been wondering which kinds of knots to use : here is a great place to start. Take a look, it's a 4-minute clip.

Dusty's all-purpose knots

Does anyone use these knots to set up their tarps? Or have any other preferable knots to teach? ;-)
