>>2573725>>2573712>As an aside, what the heck is "porch mode?" Can I do that mode with my tarp do you think?See pic related, it's super easy to do even with a couple branches you break off from trees or even better if you have hiking poles.
Basically you throw a a quick tieout on the tip of the pole / branch, then tie it down to the stake so your tarp is more of a "roof" off the front side than a tent. As long as you have one side just a little bit lower than the other, water won't pool up on top, instead just trickle off the lower side and you'll have a great view of the lake / field / etc you might be camped next to. (reminder, try not to camp at least 50ft from the shore of the lake / river for conservation sake)
