The Tarp Shelter is a basic camp shelter covered with a Tarp. The in-game tooltip calls it a basic shelter which can be slept in.
It sits in the Outdoors part of the Building menu and comes in a single version. It is a wilderness build, made from logs, stones, sticks and a Tarp. It gives a survivor a place to sleep away from a house. That suits a camp in the woods or a stop on a long trip. The Leather Shelter is the same idea with a large hide in place of the Tarp. The Lean-To Shelter uses many branches instead of a cover.
How to Build Tarp Shelter
The recipe is known from the start. Any builder can make it at any skill level.
It takes four Log and four Stone for the base. Two Tree Branch or Wooden Rod and one Long Stick or Sapling form the frame. Two lengths of binding hold it together. Rag, Twine, Rope or Sheet Rope all work as binding. One Tarp forms the cover.
Logs come from chopping trees with an axe. The sticks and stones can be gathered in the woods.
The build is quick. It is a good first shelter for a camp far from town.
It needs no skill level.
