Had need of a smaller shelter to attend some events this year. Something that would work for both primitive camping or a local rendezvous. A trip down to the local Tractor Supply yielded a 12 oz tarp in 10' x12'...
Found a great website that listed the plans for a Woodsman tarp shelter. Tinkered with the layout a little bit and came up with a comfortable design that sets up fast...can be set up without poles, one pole, or two to three. As shown the door flaps are staked winged open. But they will close to seal the tarp tent. There are multiple ways to set this up. Diamond, A style, etc... are other options.
I have less then $75 invested and maybe 4hrs stitching time. Will be giving it a trial run next weekend at a demo.
