It's also nice to string up a tarp quickly to have a bite of lunch out of the rain if the weather isn't as kind. So its a cheap and very attractive way of shrinking my kit. I have a 13L saddle bag, and a 13L drybag on a sling on the front to squeeze my gear. Travelling UL on my bike - Pack space is a huge issue. Weight with a groundsheet can be easily sub 400grams. Critters are only an issue in populated campgrounds with regular messy visitors, cook/eat a little away from where you sleep and no issues. A little bushmans usually keeps em at bay. It's only camping in swampy area's I've had problems with bugs. Maybe I didn't have the right approach or was missing something but I decided tarping was not for me. It is a good product but I never used it in the bush because I figured that after factoring in the weight of a groundsheet and some sort of mesh system to keep the bugs and other pests at bay, I might as well have a tent anyway. I love my Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo.ĭavid M wrote:I bought a DD 3m x 3m tarp. I'd always go for one that offers flexibility with pitch as opposed to a single fixed pitch say relying on a walking pole. Look around as there are far too many options available. Open to the air, it breaths really well at night and prevents condensation forming. I've had it in torrential downpours over multiple days, howling alpine gales, scorching summer sun, SW Tas and in the alps snow (but as a kitchen shelter, not primary shelter) - it's all in the pitch and the good old tarp can be a secure as a tent. I generally combine the tarp with a Tvyek ground sheet to get a great shelter than handles most situations at a total weight around 0.5 kg. The weight savings with a lighter and smaller save about 200 grams but I'm more than prepared to carry the extra weight for the flexibility a larger tarp provides me. It's quite large at 3m x 2.9m but I love the room and the pitch options available with the larger size. At the moment I'm using a Terra Nova Tarp Shelter 3 silnylon at around 450 grams with guy lines attached. I mainly use the tarp when solo light weight adventures and have also brought it along on longer groups walks to provide a communal dry space. I have multiple tents and a bivvy and use all them for different situations. A tarp is in the mix with my gear and I rely fairly heavily on it as a shelter but I wouldn't say I'm tarp only.
