Can you imagine taking this beast with you when you go camping? Even car camping, I don't go to this extreme. Watch the video. :D

Heck, reminds me of what I set up at Trail Days 05 back in the woods for one of the drizzly evenings!
Did I mention I drove over to Trail Days?!

The greatest part about the video is quoted "30 minute set up time"
someone, somewhere posted this video....
The music and speaking voice reminds me of an old TV show called "Red & Green" LOL

Ha, ha. I'd be more than happy to use this tarp. As long as HE sets it up & carries it for me!

Settin' up base camp for the summer?
Who else here wished they had a circus tent and the resources to set it up?

Not me, that isn't camping to me. However, I guess it is to some so they can have it all. :D
Who's Ryan Jordan?
He's supposedly one of the "founding fathers" of Super Ultralight. God like figure to some.

He's also the founder of BackpackingLight.com and magazine.

I use that set up when base camping for a week. Also a family tent with cots and everything. Worked very well on the last Chattooga fishing trip.
Took a little effort having to camp at least 1/4 mile off access.
Makes a good place out of the dew and rain for chairs and kitchen.
Not a backpacking option.
We set up our base hunting camps like that. When you are packing on horses & mules or you can drive in, you use stuff like that and it stays set up for 8 weeks for the whole season.
I doubt anyone ever packed something like that in on their back!

The Red Green Show? I loved that one. One of the best things to come out of Canada.
Don't forget all of the rope :banana

Here's another (slightly different) copy of that video.

If I were car or truck camping for a week or better, and doing a bunch of loop hiking, fishing, or hunting, this would be just the ticket. So would the blue sky kitchen.

I can get the same area covered in 5 minutes. String the tarp diagonaly between the two trees. Take the two lower corners to wherever works. Great for boat/car camping or groups.
