Why the A-Frame is the ultimate bushcraft shelter.

I see the A-frame shelter popping up more than any other setup in my bushcraft classes, and for good reason. It is incredibly easy to construct by simply draping a tarp over a ridgeline, providing unmatched protection and a comforting sense of security. While it remains a top-tier choice for many, there is one significant trade-off to consider: you lose out on the radiant heat from your campfire compared to more open designs like a plow point or lean-to. Mastering this setup changes how you look at tarp camping.
