PSA: I picked a cheap tarp over a pricey tent for a weekend in the Adirondacks.
Got caught in a downpour for two hours and stayed bone dry, which my buddy in his tent did not. Now I'm a total tarp convert for solo trips. Anyone have a good knot guide for setting one up fast?

Bone dry while your buddy in the tent got soaked" is the best kind of win. I tried the tarp life once and spent half an hour just trying to remember how to tie a taut-line hitch, ended up with something that looked like a sad laundry line. For knots, I just keep a printed sheet from some old scouting guide in my bag, it's beat up but it works.

That printed sheet is a lifesaver. Muscle memory for knots just vanishes if you don't use them every week. I still double-check my bowline every single time.
