I've posted before about peoples fave tarp setups but after a weekend on the side of a mountain in a proper gale I'm wondering what peoples advice is for tarping it when its windy.
I was using a DD tarp which I'm going to swap for the 260cm x 210cm army one with the fabric strips round the sides which I reckon will cut down windage and allow me to get it more taught and lessen the chance of ripping. Think I'll also swap alu pegs for plastic as they grip the boggy, heathery ground better.
However, what shape of setup is best for a high wind not from a consistent direction? I love bivvying and don't want to have to revert to tents when I'm high up.
