The Tarp Wing Shelter
This setup doesn’t offer protection from the wind, but it can be extremely effective at keeping the rain off your campsite or fire. It’s also not a bad way to create a nice shady patch if the sun is your biggest nemesis. You build this by securing opposite corners of your tarp up high and the other two down low.

The A-Frame Shelter
A-frames are effective against wind, rain, and snow. The closer to the ground, the more effective it will be. Remember to build your A-frame with steep walls in snowy conditions to avoid having too much weight accumulate. To build an A-frame shelter simply tie some paracord between two trees, drape the tarp over the line, and tie down the corners.
