I've been looking for a new high end tarp for my ACA Canoe Instructor Course and I pretty much decided that the MSR Outfitter Wing is the way to go. While I was searching for images to gauge the size I came across this site.
http://bbs.auly.com/detail.asp?cid=13&pid=215484
I believe it’s in chinese...I ran it through Google Translate and that yielded the most english words... Anyway, the reason I am posting it here is the photos of different tarp configurations. Check it out
TARP large
folding baskets TARP English meaning is waterproof shade tarpaulin,
where equipment in the field known as "Canopy", "arbor" category, the
Chinese referred to as "canopy."
摺箩，就是“大杂烩”之类的吃法。 Folding basket, is the "hodgepodge" of the type of eating. 北京人叫“摺（念zhe，一声）箩”（意思是把箩筐摺个底儿朝天），东北人叫“乱炖” 。
Beijingers called "discount (pronounced zhe, soon as) load" (meaning is
to fold a basketful of Dier air), the Northeast were called "Luandun." 在电视文艺领域，如果我们又中又央的CCTV 要搞一台几十年一贯制的大晚会，必定称之为“盛世大联欢”，也就是把曲艺的、杂耍的、流行的、古典的、戏剧的、歌舞的、杂七杂八的都摺到一块儿，让全国的电视观众在“喜闻乐见” 之间，接受一次爱党爱国的思想教育。
The field of literature and art on television, if we are both Chinese
and engage in a central of the CCTV system for decades has always been
a big party, must be referred to as "Golden Age big get-together" that
is, the Cantonese operatic songs, Chinese acrobatics, and popular,
classical , drama, singing and dancing, and a hodgepodge of all folded
together in, so that the country's viewers in the "loved" between the
acceptance of a love for the party patriotic ideological education.
摺箩也是我们长二网站的动态报道形式，我们都摺上了瘾，因为我们发现，杂烩式的报道大家比较爱看，可以说了驴唇再说马嘴。
Folding basket is our dynamic web site reported that two long-form, we
are off on the addiction, because we find that the report we compare
the chowder-style love to read, it can be said of the donkey lips to
say horses mouth.
这一篇就是本装备佬近期在野外使用的一些Tarp 、以及类似Tarp 的装备的图文大摺箩。
This one is the peacemaker of the equipment used in the wild, some of
the recent Tarp, and similar equipment Tarp graphic large folding
basket. 
从四月中旬到现在，我们一直在滇西北高原进行野外活动。 From mid-April to now, we have been for outdoor activities in Northwest Yunnan Plateau. 高原上的夏季，Tarp 大有用武之地，我们使用各类Tarp 非常频繁。 Plateau on the summer, Tarp has great development potentials, we use all kinds of Tarp very frequent. 云南藏区，到处有平坦如砥、绿草如茵的坝子，空气凉爽，只要地势稍微高一些的地方就没有蚊子。
Yunnan, Tibet, everywhere there are flat, such as Tobe, green grass of
the Bazi, the air is cool, as long as the slightly higher-lying areas
there will be no mosquitoes. 在这样的地方，Tarp 搭建起来很容易，在Tarp 下面露宿也很有野趣。 In such places, Tarp build up is easy, sleeping in the Tarp is also useful following the rustic charm. 
以往曾经自己动手制作Tarp ，那些土法上马的凉棚都是直角直边的，边角很容易扯坏。
In the past had their own DIY Tarp, those indigenous methods of the
arbor are straight edge at right angles, the corner is very easy to
pull the bad. MSR 的Vista Wing 是一款“兽皮” Tarp ，因为它的裁剪形状就像一张剥制好的兽皮，是流线型的边角。
MSR's Vista Wing is a "skins" Tarp, because its shape is like cutting a
good stuffing and mounting animal skins, is a streamlined edges. 
流线型的裁剪，使得固定点受力均匀，抗张力性能更好。 Streamlined tailoring, making fixed-point force uniform, anti-tension better performance. 
Vista Wing 配有两根折叠的支撑铝杆。 Vista Wing is equipped with two folding aluminum pole support. 如果是风雨天气，Vista Wing 不用架设得那么高，于是我将铝杆的最下面一节折叠起来，用细绳把杆子收拢在一起，避免不小心踩到杆子。
If it is rainy and windy weather, Vista Wing was not set up so high, so
I will be the bottom of an aluminum pole folds up into pole Shoulong
together with string, to avoid accidentally stepping on pole. 
这是赫赫有名的“双飞” Tarp ，在海拔4486米的四姑娘山OMG 营地的靓照，也可能是目前“双飞”飞到的最高的地方。
This is the famous "Flying" Tarp, at an altitude of 4486 meters of the
camp Match Friends Siguniangshan OMG, it may be present "Flying," flew
to the highest place. 此时双飞的造型是“双子塔”的Tarp Tent 。 Flying at this time modeling a "twin towers" in Tarp Tent. 
如果你喜欢在晚上睡觉时呼吸凉爽清新的空气，也可以将“双飞” Tarp 搭成半开放的螃蟹形状。 If you like to sleep at night when the cool breath of fresh air, it can be "Flying" Tarp Dacheng semi-open crab shape. 
“双飞”的另外一种用法，是架设在小型A字型单层帐篷的上面，作为防雨的Tent Fly 使用，能够补强单层帐篷的防雨性能。
"Flying" and another use is to set up tents in a small A-shaped
single-layer above, as the rain of Tent Fly, they enable the
reinforcing properties of single-layer tent rain. 
再“摺箩”地说说ASI Design 的新近推出的“阁楼”帐篷。 And then "off load" to talk about the ASI Design of the newly introduced "loft" tent. 它是单门、全封闭、单层、A字型帐篷，可供1至2人使用。 It is a single door, completely closed, single, A-shaped tents, for 1 to 2 people. 设计理念脱胎于紧急避险帐篷，但防护性能比紧急避险帐篷提高了。
Design concept born out of an emergency hedge tents, but the protective
performance than the avoiding of an emergency tent increased. 
阁楼帐收纳起来，大小相当于一只400毫升左右的SIGG 水瓶，重量是355克。 Storage loft account together, the size of a 400 ml of about SIGG water bottles, weight is 355 grams. 
在海拔5153米的巴拉格宗噩梦4号垭口，鞍脊部位仅有一小块容身之地。 At an altitude of 5153 meters were a nightmare on the 4th of Balaguer Yakou, saddle ridge is only a small part of shelter land. 我们还是想办法将阁楼帐稳稳地扎住了。 We still want a way to account firmly Zhazhu the attic.
在这个险恶的营地，阁楼帐真的发挥了避险的用场—— 两侧的一步开外就是很陡峭的流石滩，直落下去有好几百米的垂直落差。
In this precarious camps, loft off really played a hedge handy - a step
away on either side of the stream is a very steep rocky beach, there
are several hundred meters in straight sets down a vertical drop. 幸好阁楼帐兜住我们，可以安稳地睡一觉。 Fortunately, we Douzhu loft account, you can be secure in sleep. 
阁楼帐为了面料完整无缝和轻量化，在侧面没有设计固定的防风绳的挂点。
Attic account in order to complete a seamless and lightweight fabrics
in the design side there is no wind rope fixed mount point. 可以用硬币、缝纫机的线轴、圆润的小石头垫在帐篷内壁，外面再用绳圈拴住，拉上防风绳固定。
Can use coins, sewing machine bobbins, rounded stone wall mats in tents
outside, then Shengquan hitch, up the wind a fixed rope. 
在阁楼帐的两侧，各以两枚线轴为挂点，用四根防风绳拉开，使得阁楼帐的内部空间一下子就增大不少。
Account in the attic on both sides, each consisting of two spools as
the mount point, with four wind Shengla open interior space makes the
attic account suddenly increased a lot. 
MSR 的Tarp 类产品都以Wing 命名，Wing 就是飞翼式天幕。 MSR's Tarp products are to Wing named, Wing is a flying wing-style marquee. MSR目前有五种Tarp，图中是最小的E - Wing ，180克。 MSR There are five kinds of Tarp, the figure is the smallest E - Wing, 180 Ke. 
E-Wing 是一款单人天幕，除了说明书上介绍的两种基本搭建方式，我很快“开发”了它的进阶用法。
E-Wing is a single canopy, in addition to instructions on the
introduction of the two basic structures, I will soon be "development"
of its advanced usage. 
E-Wing 屋脊的一端，有个帽兜型的构造，搭建Tarp 时，用手杖的手柄往里面一撑就兜住了。
E-Wing roof at one end, there is a pocket-type cap structure, built
Tarp, used a cane handle puts inside one stays on the Douzhu. 
如果担心手杖在“帽兜”里面滑动，可以在外面用绳圈勒住，挽个快速简便的“扯淡结” 就可以了。
If we worry that stick in the "cap bowl" inside the slide, you can use
Shengquan reined in the outside, pull a fast and easy "nonsense knot"
on it. 
用E-Wing 架设在阁楼帐上面，当Tent Fly 也很合适。 E-Wing with the account set up in the attic above, when the Tent Fly is also very suitable. 
“双飞”和E-Wing 搭成的组合式天幕。 "Flying" and the E-Wing Dacheng modular marquee. 
先搭好E-Wing ，再架上“双飞” 。 First improtance E-Wing, and then racks, "Flying." 两者在重叠的部位，形状刚好互补，扣在一起，形成了一个隧道式的落地Tarp 。 Overlap between the two on the site, the shape is exactly complementary buckle together to form a tunnel-type landing Tarp. 
如果我一个人躺在里面，不管哪头飘雨，都不用担心了。 If I were a man lying on the inside, regardless of which head Piaoyu, do not have to worry about. 
休闲露营时，Tarp 有可能扎在一个地方一整天不挪动，将“双飞”的一翼升起、抬平，形成厂字型的凉棚，荫凉的面积就更大了。
Camping leisure time, Tarp may be a tie in one place all day without
even moving, the "Flying" in a wing of the rising, carry-ping, the
formation of plant-shaped arbor, shade the area is even greater. 
超小尺寸的Tarp 则是纯粹的天幕了，因为它只能当作篷布来用，不能构成封闭的庇护空间。
Ultra-small size of the Tarp is a pure backdrop, because it can only be
used as tarpaulin to use, can not constitute a closed asylum space. 
这本是ASI Design 的小型防水地席，临时当作天幕，配合BIVY ，用于极轻量的SOLO 活动。 ASI Design This is a small waterproof mats, temporary as a backdrop, with the BIVY, for a very lightweight SOLO activities.
天幕的中脊是挂在连接两杆的绳子上的。 Atrium of the ridge is hanging on the rope connecting the two. 晚上入睡之前，降低Tarp ，使之贴近BIVY ，挡雨的效果更好。 Before falling asleep at night, reducing Tarp, so close to BIVY, shelter from the rain better.
此类玩法的前提是短程超轻活动，并且预先知道不会有大风大雨；否则需另外准备行头。
Such games are played on the premise that short-range ultra-light
activities, and know in advance there will not be stormy; otherwise, to
prepare an additional line of head. 
如果你有多个超小尺寸的Tarp ，如E-Wing ，那么完全可以进一步发挥你的想象力，尝试“摺箩Tarp” 的新玩法。
If you have more than one ultra-small size of the Tarp, such as the
E-Wing, it can further develop your imagination, try to "pack baskets
Tarp" in new ways. 
以E-Wing 为例。 In E-Wing, for example.
首先将一支手杖放到最长（MSR 的Ovar Land 碳素手杖可以放长到1米45）作为支柱，架起两张E-Wing 构成摺箩Tarp 的主体，拼接的地方要相互交叉一部份。
First put a stick up (MSR's Ovar Land of carbon can be released cane
grows to 1 meter 45) as a pillar erected two E-Wing folding baskets
Tarp constitute the main body of splicing cross-cutting areas have to
be a copies. 再视天气情况，是否在开门的地方盖上第三张E-Wing 。 Again depending on weather conditions, whether in the open areas covered with the third E-Wing. 
盖上第三张E-Wing 时的效果。 Cover the third when the effect of E-Wing.
这样的摺箩Tarp 内部空间大得惊人，安排得当的话，睡得下四个人。 This folding basket Tarp staggering interior space, well-organized, then sleep the next four. 我管这个叫“三叶梅Tarp” ，因为看起来像是一朵倒扣的三叶梅的花朵，而每张E-Wing 也像是一片叶子。
I was in charge of this is called "three Yemei Tarp", because it looks
like an inverted three-Yemei flowers, while the per E-Wing is also like
a leaf.
如果不下雨，打算开门的地方，E-Wing 无需重叠，而是留一条门缝，方便出入。
If it does not rain, intends to open the door of the place, E-Wing
without duplication, but rather stay in a crack in the door for easy
access. 
“三叶梅Tarp ” 的后部则需要重叠严实一些，贴近地面有缺口的地方，堵上已经扣好防雨罩的背包，可以挡风雨。
"Three Yemei Tarp" in the rear you need to overlap JANSEN some, close
to the ground where there are gaps, have been fastened to plug backpack
rain cover, you can block wind and rain. 
玩“摺箩式Tarp” ，既要天马行空般的想像，也要讲究章法，不能胡摺，否则就真是“乱炖”了。
Play "folding basket-style Tarp", as both unrestrained imagination, but
also pay attention to permissive, not Hu folding, otherwise really
"Luandun" the. 根据E-Wing 像叶子的特点，除了“三叶梅”外，又何尝不能尝试“丁香花Tarp” 呢？
According to E-Wing, as the characteristics of leaves, in addition to
the "three Yemei" things, then why should not try to "lilac Tarp" do? 
开门的地方，也可以用两支收短的手杖支起E-Wing 的两角，使得“门厅”的空间大一些。 Open the door where you can close a short cane with two teams from E-Wing of the corners, the "hall" space larger. 
更可以将E-Wing 的两角折返拉开，进出更加自如。 E-Wing can also be returned to pull the corners, in and out more freely.
由于这类拼接式的Tarp 总会有缝隙，所以就寝时最好睡袋配有Bivi Sack ，就不用担心Tarp 漏雨了。
As such there will always be spliced style Tarp gap, so bedtime is best
sleeping bag with a Bivi Sack, do not need to worry about leaks of Tarp. 在这个营地，后半夜下了雨，李爱德脚那头在门口，仗着睡袋外面套有ASI Design 的Bivi Sack ，他懒得起来关门，早上检视睡袋，也就稍微濡湿了一点儿。
In this camp, late at night it rained, LI Ai-feet apart, Wang Dan in
the doorway, leaned on a sleeping bag outside the set of ASI Design of
Bivi Sack, he was too lazy to shut up in the morning to view the
sleeping bags, also slightly moisten a bit. 
叶状天幕E-Wing 是我目前所知的最具“多才艺”的Tarp 。 E-Wing is the leafy canopy of the heavens that I'm aware of the most "multi-talent" in Tarp. 单张、两张、直至三、四、五张，都可以搭成不同形状、不同大小的Tarp 或Tent 。 Leaflets, 2, until three, four, five, can be Dacheng different shapes, different sizes Tarp or Tent. 配做其它帐篷的Wing 或Tent Fly 更是灵活。 With doing other tents Tent Fly the Wing, or even more flexible.
单张E- Wing 独立使用时，如果这样搭建，比较适合做野外厨房的挡风墙，或者立在帐篷门口当作“照壁” 。
Sheet E-Wing used independently, if such a structure, better suited to
do the wind field kitchen wall, or stand in the entrance tent as a
"screen wall." 
再对称地扣上另一张E - Wing ，就构成了一个可以过夜的天幕。 Then symmetrically wear another E - Wing, constitutes an overnight marquee. 
这个范例是用四张E- Wing 搭成金字塔型的帐篷。 This example is 4 E-Wing Dacheng pyramid-shaped tent. 中心的支柱用两根手杖捆扎，因为高度需要高一些；然后将四张E-Wing 以攒尖状挂在手杖的上端，E-Wing 中轴的另一头扎在地面；在地面的四个点正好是一个正方形的四个角。
Center pillar bundled with two canes because of high demand for higher;
then 4 E-Wing in order to save a pointed stick-like hanging in the
upper end, E-Wing, another pitching axis on the ground; four points on
the ground is precisely the four corners of a square. 
然后再将每张E- Wing 的两翼展开，用地钉和绳子固定。 And then the two wings of each E-Wing launched, land-use nail and rope fixed. 
只要内部的支柱高度调整的适当，E- Wing 的底边正好严密地拼接起来，围成了一个封闭良好的金字塔帐。
As long as the pillars of the internal height adjustment appropriate,
E-Wing of the bottom just spliced together closely, Wai pyramid has
become a well-closed accounts.
也许有人质疑—— 何必如此折腾？ Some people may question - why such a torment? 用一个现成的金字塔帐篷岂不更好？ Tent with a ready-made pyramid would it not better? 我的看法是：玩拼接式Tarp 会给你带来动脑筋的乐趣、锻炼你的野外能力。 My view is: Play stitching style Tarp give you brains of fun, exercise your ability to field. 比
方说， 如果几个好友一同出行，每一位Trekker 都携带了一张180克的E-Wing 的话，除了给自己搭建单人Tarp
或是给自己的帐篷架设门厅以外，还可以把大伙的E-Wing 集中起来，恣意搭建各种形状的“ 摺箩Tarp ” —— 这才是野外活动中纯粹的乐趣。
For example, if several friends traveling together, each one carrying a
Trekker is 180 grams of the E-Wing, then, in addition to that they
built single-Tarp, or to their own tent set up outside the hall, you
can put everyone in E-Wing together to build a variety of arbitrary
shape, "folding basket Tarp" - this is pure fun outdoor activities. 
如果降低中间支柱的高度，帐篷的底面积就会增大，帐底正方形的每条边的中间就会形成一个开叉，那么，帐篷就会变形为我在上面所说的“丁香花” Tarp 。
If we lower the middle pillar of the height of the tent at the end of
an area will increase, accounts at the end of each side of the middle
of the square will be the formation of a split ends, then the tent will
be deformed as I mentioned above, the "lilac" Tarp . 
当然，还是金字塔帐的密闭性更好，底边没有什么开叉，而且可以节省地钉。 Of course, or pyramid account airtight better bottom there is no split ends, but also can save to nail. 
将E- Wing 两翼的固定绳子拉紧，拴在地面四个角的地钉上，这样，就不用额外的钉子来拉绳子了。
The two wings of the E-Wing fixed rope taut, tied the four corners of
the land nailed on the ground, so do not need the extra nails to pull a
rope. 这种搭建方法，整个帐篷只需八枚地钉、九根短绳，所用辅料非常简约，符合轻量化的准则。
This build method, the whole tent just eight to nails, nine short rope,
the accessories are very simple to use, in line with lightweight
criteria. 
MSR 的Twin Peaks 是一款经典的单层无帐底、全落地式（All Around）的Tarp Tent ，MSR 公司将其归类为Tent 而不是Wing ，也很准确。
MSR's Twin Peaks is a classic single-layer-free account at the end,
full-floor-type (All Around) The Tarp Tent, MSR company would be
classified as Tent, rather than Wing, is also very accurate.
E-Wing 也可以架在Twin Peaks 门口，当作门廊。 E-Wing rack in the Twin Peaks can also be the door as a porch. 
雨天里，这门廊下面就是个很舒服的厨房。 Rainy years, this porch following is a very comfortable kitchen. 
如果没有附加的Wing ，可以将门帘用两个手杖挑起来，这时Twin Peaks 的形状才更象是一个Tarp 型的帐篷。
If there is no additional Wing, can be stirred up to curtain with two
canes, when Twin Peaks was more like the shape of a Tarp-type tents. 
MSR 公司的Trekker Wing 则是地道的Tarp ，因为它不能搭成四边落地的，不能构成封闭空间。 MSR's Trekker Wing is a typical Tarp, because it can not Dacheng four sides of floor, and can not constitute a closed space. 由于Trekker Wing 的屋脊比Twin Peaks 长，有时我将两者“摺箩”在一起，屋脊的尾端对齐，另一端就交错形成了一个遮雨的门蓬。
Trekker Wing of the roof because of Twin Peaks than long, and sometimes
I will both "off load" together, the roof of the end of the alignment,
the other side of the staggered form a door Zhe Yu Peng. 
两个LUXE Tarp 拼接成的长廊状天幕。 2 LUXE Tarp spliced into the gallery-like backdrop. 
这是“阁楼”、“双飞”和E-Wing 大摺箩，组成的Tarp + Tent ，图中的哥们儿管这个叫“小火车组合”。
This is the "attic", "Flying" and the E-Wing Tai folding baskets,
consisting of Tarp + Tent, the figure of the buddy to cover this is
called "little train combination." 
“小火车”的另一个变种—— 将“双飞”的尾翼降低，阁楼帐底朝天扣在“双飞”的尾部，使“小火车”的屁股迎着风向。
"Little Train", another variant - the "Flying" and tail reduce attic
overturned deduction account at the end of the "Flying" and the tail so
that the "train" to the buttocks toward the wind. 
“小火车”在4608米的营地。 "Little Train" in 4608 meters of the camp.
巴拉格宗转山活动中，我们就是带着这三件超轻装备，根据天气、气温和地形的不同，变着花样地组合使用。
Balaguer cases were referred to mountain activities, we are with these
three ultra-light equipment, depending on the weather, temperature and
terrain different Bianzhaohuayang to be used in combination. 
这款“摺箩”是把两个Fly 前后对调，扣在阁楼帐上面，并将门蓬降低。 This "off load" is a before and after the two swapped Fly, deduction account in the attic above, and will reduce the door-pont. 
小型Tarp 的支撑杆，用MSR 的Over Land 碳素手杖十分好用。 Small Tarp of the rod, with MSR's Over Land carbon cane is very easy to use. 当你熟悉了一款Tarp 的支撑方法之后，知道撑杆的固定长度，在Over Land 手杖上面的刻度能迅速帮助你调节好长度。
When you are familiar with the support of a Tarp method, know the strut
of fixed length, in the above scale Over Land cane can quickly help you
to regulate the length of the.
不象其它铝合金材质的手杖，Over Land 手杖长久使用过后，这些刻度线也不会磨掉。
Unlike other aluminum alloy material of the cane, Over Land cane after
long-term use of these calibration lines will not be worn. 
看看大型Tarp 的“摺箩” 。 Large Tarp look at the "folding basket." 
Outfitter Wing 是MSR 的团队型天幕。 Outfitter Wing is the MSR team-type canopy. 我们将两张Outfitter Wing 和两张E-Wing 按十字架型对接于一点，组成了一个更大的天幕组合。 We will be two Outfitter Wing and two E-Wing by a cross-type docking at one point to form a larger portfolio of marquee. 
从内部看这个组合Tarp 的顶端，每一个独立Tarp 的尖端的固定圈孔，正好都可以穿在撑杆的尖部。
Tarp from the inside look at the top of this combination, each a tip of
independent Tarp fixed ring holes, just could wear in the rod's tip. 
这款“大摺箩”天幕在今年4月底的中甸高原，经受住了冻雨和湿雪的考验。
The "big off load" of Atrium by the end of April this year, the
Zhongdian plateau, has withstood the test of freezing rain and wet snow.
菱形的团队Tarp 非常适合中途休息时临时搭建天幕，因为只需要两根杆子、四点固定，非常简单迅捷。
Diamond's team Tarp very suitable for mid-canopy temporary structures
at rest, because it only requires two pole, four-point fixation, is
very simple and quick. 
这款菱形天幕Para Wing 可是古董了，是牛气冲天的Moss！ The diamond-shaped marquee Para Wing, but antiques, and is bullish Moss! 
一张Para Wing 和两张Outfitter Wing 组成的怪异“摺箩”。 1 Para Wing and two Outfitter Wing composed of strange "folding basket." 
当两个Outfitter Wing 对接组合时，接头的地方会有两个开叉，用一张Para Wing 当作苫布，盖在开缝的地方，挡风遮雨的效果就好多了。
When the two Outfitter Wing docking combination, where there will be
two split ends joints, with a Para Wing as thatch cloth, cover in open
seam where sheltered effect is much better. 
再瞧瞧赶马人的Tarp ！ And then look at Gan Ma's Tarp! 
金沙江边的傈僳族朋友金福，前不久赶着他的白马跟我走了一段马帮路。 Jinsha River side Lisu friends Jinfu, recently drove his white horse with me into a long caravan road. 他们很在行用“土办法”解决野外的难题。 They are the line of "indigenous methods" to solve the field problems. 
Tarp 这类野外装备，是具有浪迹天涯的气质的，不光流浪汉喜欢用，过去老马帮的赶马人也常用，因为材料简单、易于携带，搭建起来不受地形限制。
Tarp type of field equipment, is a no traces horizon of temperament,
not just tramp like to use, in the past Gang Gan Ma nag people are used
as materials, simple, easy to carry, to build up and not subject to
terrain constraints.
五境乡的藏族朋友独珠旺堆从金沙江边赶着他的骡子，来到大中甸的草坝子上，准备在国庆骡马会上做交易。
5 Tibetan friends throughout the township alone beads Wangdui rushing
to his side from the Jinsha River mule, came to big Zhongdian caoba
child and prepare to do business at the meeting at the National Day
mule. 他用一大张农膜做Tarp ，门口挖一个土坑做灶膛，上面再支撑一张旧帆布，当作遮阳挡雨的Wing ！
He used a large sheet of plastic to do Tarp, dug a pit to do Zaotang
the door above and then supporting an old canvas, as a sun shelter from
the rain Wing!
此等土法装备搭出来Tarp + Wing 的窝棚，样子倒也中规中矩。 These homemade equipment tie-up Tarp + Wing of the shanties, like the idea is quite satisfactory. 
说说Tarp 的种种好处。 Tarp to talk about the many benefits.
其一，是体验“古典式露营”的好方式。 First, is the experience of "classical-style camping" in a good way. 天气好时，你可以搬到天幕外直接露宿在星空下面，与大自然零距离；如果半夜下雨，你还有保险的一招。
When the weather is good, you can move directly to sleep in the marquee
outside the Star below zero distance with nature; if it rains at night,
you have insurance, a move. 
其二，在开放式空间睡觉比较安全，如果暗夜里有什么动静，一睁眼就看见了，不用费事儿拉开帐篷门探头往外张望。
Second, in an open space to sleep relatively safe, if there are any
dark night of movements on a bare-saw, and no charges Shier opened and
looked outside the tent door Tantou Wang. 
其三，在天幕下面就可以观赏各种野花， Third, in the Atrium, the following can watch a variety of wildflowers, 
还有“大红虫”！ There are "big red worm"! 
玩Tarp ，也需要一些野外精神，不要太在意这些爬虫。 Play Tarp, also needs some wild spirit, do not be too concerned about these reptiles.
野外活动中，最危险的不是什么“猛兽”而是有害昆虫。 Outdoor activities, the most dangerous is not a "beast" but harmful insects. 使用Tarp ，对付毒虫是个很现实的问题，虽然不需要太敏感、紧张，但也要有所准备、认真对待。
Use Tarp, to deal with drug addicts is a very real problem, though
without too sensitive and nervous, but it should also be prepared to be
taken seriously.
我们用过的一些防虫药膏里，澳洲生产的Bush Man 非常灵验，可以有效对付蚊虫、毒蚁、旱蚂蝗、扁虱、跳蚤、臭虫等，谁让他们澳洲盛产世界上最毒的毒物呢？
We used a number of pest control ointment, the Australian production of
the Bush Man is very efficacious and can effectively deal with
mosquitoes, poisonous ants, drought leech, flat lice, fleas, bedbugs,
etc. Who they are rich in Australia, the world's most poisonous poison
it?
Bush Man 既适用于热带丛林，在高原山区更是好用，也可以叫它Mountain Man 了，反正是很MAN 的野外装备，我们很喜欢。
Bush Man is applicable to the tropical jungles and mountains on the
plateau is easy to use, you can also call Mountain Man, and anyway is
very MAN field equipment, we are like. 唯独对小咬不太有效，好在小咬只是黄昏时疯狂一阵子，在额头和发际四周留下无数又痒又疼的小红疙瘩之后就散去了，我们早就习以为常了，所谓“千虱不咬” 。
Alone is not effective for small bite, but fortunately only a small
bite at dusk when the madness for a while, around the hairline at the
forehead and left countless Youyangyouteng dispersed after the red
knots, and we have long taken for granted, and the so-called "1000 lice
do not bite."
至于飞蛾苍蝇飞到锅里碗里，有时也视而不见，一起嚼了，反正野外的苍蝇要比城里的干净的多。
As for the moths to fly to the pot bowl of flies, and sometimes turn a
blind eye, together with chewing, and anyway the wild flies more than
the city clean.
有毒的、无毒的蛇类见得也多，但最多只是接近Tarp ，还没有钻进来过。 Toxic, non-toxic snakes we say will be done, but a maximum of only close to the Tarp, have not been to drilling. 扁虱是应该认真对付的，是很麻烦很恶心的虫子，我们的骡马身上经常发现，迄今为止，我们还没有被扁虱叮咬过，Bush Man 在这些年的野外活动中居功至伟，堪称最佳Tarp 伴侣！
Bian should be careful to deal with lice, and is very troublesome
insects is very disgusting, and our mule who often find that, to date,
we have not been bitten by lice bian, Bush Man in such a great tribute
to years of outdoor activities, Tarp rated as the best partner! 
这些象小眼睛的怪东东，是夜蛾子飞进Tarp ，在鞋带上产下的虫卵。 These little eyes like a strange Dongdong is armyworm son flew into the Tarp, the laces on the birth of the eggs. 习惯了以后并不觉得恶心，反而有“野趣” 。 Used to not feel sick later, but the "rustic charm." 
再者，天幕下面做饭，没有蒸汽的憋闷，也不会中一氧化碳。 Furthermore, the marquee the following cooking, there is no steam, feel oppressed, nor carbon monoxide.

呃，这个是XP Wing 吗？ Uh, this is XP Wing do? 还是“黑客帝国” Tarp ？ Or "The Matrix" Tarp? 
最后，再啰唆一下Tarp 的搭建细节。 Finally, another long-winded look at the details of the structures Tarp. Tarp 周边和顶端的固定点，与绳子连接，我是用这种藏式的拴马结。 Tarp perimeter and the top of the fixed points, and rope connections, I use this for Shuanma Tibetan knot. 打起结来很干脆，拆Tarp 时也利索。 Playing guitar for a very prompt, and demolition of Liso when Tarp. 这个结打好之后规整又漂亮。 After playing this knot neat and pretty.
藏式拴马结跟slipped bowline 结构上大有区别，使用上前者简便、可靠而迅捷，后者花俏但费事儿。
Tibetan Shuanma slipped bowline knot structure with great distinction,
the use of the former is simple, reliable and quick, which is fancy but
it costs Shi Er.
最大的区别在于—— 拉开活套的一端，拴马结松开后，不像slipped bowline 那样还纠缠得厉害。
The biggest difference is that - opened at one end of the looper,
Shuanma knot after release, unlike slipped bowline, as is also the
struggle terribly.
类似用途的绳结，拉开活套后完全无纠缠的是美式拴马结（也叫牧童结），但它的可靠程度不如藏式拴马结。
Similar to the use of knots, opened after the live sets are completely
non-entangled American Shuanma knot (also known as cowboy guitar), but
it is not as good as the reliability of the Tibetan Shuanma knot. 而且，牧童结不能形成一个活络的绳圈，绳子必须紧紧缚在木桩上才能构成绳结。
Moreover, the shepherd boy could not form a knot of Shengquan rolling,
rope must be tightly tied to the stake in order to constitute a knot.
藏式拴马结，是在上面介绍的两个绳结之间的最好平衡。 Tibetan Shuanma knot, is described in the above the best balance between the two knots. 结构简单，易结易解，用途广泛。 Simple structure, easy to knot easy solution, and versatile. 不要太迷信布林结（bowline ）了。 Do not be too superstitious bowling (bowline) of the. 
打“拴马结”，是有一套手法的。 Playing the "Shuanma knot" is a set of practices. 常规野外活动中，这个绳结比号称“绳结之王”的布林结，用途还要广泛。 Regular outdoor activities, this knot than that known as the "king of knots" in bowling, use even more widely. 一些国外的Tarp 高手，喜欢用Siberia Hitch 在两个树桩之间架设中脊绳，其实是“烦琐哲学” ，不如藏式拴马结简单便利。
Tarp some foreign masters, like to use Siberia Hitch erected between
the two stumps of spinal cord, in fact "scholasticism", not as a
simple, convenient Tibetan Shuanma knot. 
这是藏式拴马结的一个变种，用双股绳打成。 This is a variant of Tibetan Shuanma junction, with double-stranded rope beaten. 牛场娃们放马吃草时，用这种绳结把缰绳收短整理，拴在马脖子上（蒙古牧民也是这样玩的）。
They let horses graze cattle farm baby when using this knot to close
the reins short order, tied to the horse around the neck (Mongolian
herders play is also the case).
通常，我也习惯在每个背包的肩带上用这种绳结拴一条鞋带，以备不时之需。 In general, I also used the strap on each bag in this knot tying a shoelace, and when necessary. 
Tarp 通过绳子与手杖的连接，应该用这种易结易解的“瓶口结” ，这是中国独有的绳结。
Tarp rope with a cane through the connection, it should be easy to knot
with this easy solution of the "bottle knot", which is unique to China
knots.
尽管双套结（猪蹄扣）极为简单，但严格说是Hitch 而不是Knot 。
Although the pairs of sets of statements (trotters deduction) is
extremely simple, but strictly speaking is a Hitch instead Knot. 在手杖需要支在绳子当中而不是顶在Tarp 的锚点的绳圈里面的情形下，双套结是用不了的。
In the cane need to support them in the rope, rather than the top
anchor point of the Sheng Quan on Tarp's inside the case, double sets
of the knot was not take to.
瓶口结用于Tarp 的搭建，是它的进阶用法。 Bottle knot structures for the Tarp is its advanced usage. 看起来结构复杂，但是掌握了手法后，闭着眼睛两秒之内就可以打好。 Looks complicated structure, but mastered the tactics, the eyes closed can be playing within seconds. 
打好之后，在结圈的两侧，对称地形成两个盘铰式的结，并且在两侧自然地引出等长的两股单绳，可以扎在地面的两个点上。
After the fight, in the ring junction on both sides symmetrically to
form two disks hinge-style knot, and naturally leads to equal length on
both sides of the two shares of a single rope, you can tie the two
points on the ground.
我看过一些玩Tarp 的朋友，处理这种情况时，打结没有章法，绳子乱七八糟，随便绕过手杖就扎在地上。
I have read some playing Tarp's friends, deal with this situation, lack
of a methodical knotted rope mess around casually walking stick on the
bar on the ground. 手杖会滚动，并不稳固。 Cane will be rolling, not very firm.
而这种瓶口结打起来非常快—— 拿起绳子，就那么一挽、一套、再一勒紧，手杖就会被紧紧锁住，纹丝不动。
Guitar playing and this bottle up very quickly - pick up the rope, then
a pull on a set, then a tightening, a walking stick will be firmly
locked, absolutely still.
如果绳子不够长，不能用双股的话，可以用拴马结结成一个稍长的绳圈（绳圈穿过Tarp 的固定点），然后在绳圈部位挽成瓶口结，套在手杖的握柄上面，再拉紧绳结。
If the rope is not long enough, can not use double-stranded, then you
can use Shuanma knot to form a slightly longer Shengquan (Shengquan
through Tarp fixed points), and then rolled into a bottle knot
Shengquan site, set in the cane grip the top, and then tighten knots. 
如果Tarp 内部要用手杖支撑，而且一只手杖的长度不够、需要两只手杖捆扎在一起的话，那么，只需用一截短绳，在手杖的交叉部位的上下两端各打一个盘绞结（也叫“盘卷结”或“蟒蛇结”） 即可。
If you use a cane within Tarp support, but also the length of a cane is
not enough, need two canes tied together, then simply use a truncated
string, in the cross-stick at both ends of the upper and lower parts of
the disc to fight a twist knot (also known as "coiled knot" or "snake
knot"), you can.
这样处理，接长的撑杆很牢固，绳结简单又美观，不需要用一大堆绳子胡乱地缠在一起。
This treatment, then a long rod is very strong, knot simple and
beautiful, do not need a lot of rope wrapped around together at random. 
盘绞结也是非常实用的一种野外绳结，熟练应用的话，往往可以用“简单手法”解决难题。 Drum twister knot is also very useful as a wild knot, skilled use of words can often be "simple way" to solve problems. 
盘绞结通常的用法是—— 捆绑一堆棍子或者柴禾。 Disk usage is the twisted knot the usual - a pile of sticks or firewood bundles. 如果用一根绳子结成两个盘绞结，形成一个背带，就可以把棍子背在肩上。 If you use a rope to form two disks twisted knot, forming a strap, you can put the stick back shoulders.
说一万，不如练一遍。 Say 10000, it is better to practice again. 常用Tarp ，特别是摺箩式Tarp ，就知道天幕是如此好玩，也特别锻炼野外能力。 Common Tarp, especially the folding basket-type Tarp, know that backdrop is so fun, but also special training field capacity.
