Camping can be a great way to cool off from a string of
bad luck, heavy office work, or any other stressful issues. This is because it
will help you to get yourself together, freshen up your mind, and get back
strong and ready to give your troubles a fresh look.
And while many of us might love camping for the same
reasons, one thing is usually true, that in the excitement of our camping
preparation, we tend to leave some vital camping equipment lying pretty in our
basements, penthouse, or balconies.
The one equipment that many of us tend to ignore because
of its weight or size is usually a tarp. But get it from me, experience has
taught me one thing when it comes down to carrying a tarp to your hike – leave
it at your own peril!
Why do I say this? Maybe it has not occurred to you, but
few camping equipment are as versatile as a tarp. And here are a few creative
tips that make tarps to stand out above other camping equipment.
A tarp can be used to protect the bottom of you tent. As
an ideal tent floor, tarps will save your tents from any unforeseeable sharp
objects that might destroy your tent and interfere with your sleep.
A tarp can also be used to create a makeshift shelter. I
remember this vividly as I was always out camping with my parents. And trust me
if it’s not a hike in the cottage in the woods, then no camp site ever had a
wooden shelter. So for your camping crockery a simple tarp will save the day.
Tarps can also be used to protect your tents from the
rain. If you visit Jeff Campbell CAMBRIDGE CANVAS you will learn that few tents
are actually waterproof like the tarps.
And while they come with ideal rain-fly, there is never
any replacement if the rain-fly is damaged. At this point only an ideal tarp
got your covered.
Again tarps can be used to block wind in your camping
site. As crazy as this might sound, trust me, on any windy camping days, if you
hang a tarp from the trees, it might control the wind.
Finally tarps can be used to cover up your stuff such as
firewood from rain, make a resting hammock, or create a sleeping shelter.
In fact any experienced camper should know that when
camping without a tent, tarps are usually your best bet for getting a warm resting
shelter. And those tarps that are made with Tuff Tape to hem the ends, will
even work better as they are stronger and long lasting.
