Any one help me?

[sam-northwest]

Hi I'm new to bushcraft and looking for a decent cheap and affordable tarp.. I was wondering whether anyone had one for sale or could point me in the right direction to finding one... Any help much appreciated

Hi Sam.
You could try Field & Trek/ Sports Direct.They sometimes have deals on Terra Nova.
Some very cheap ones on Ebay but could be heavy and more at home on the back of a pickup!
Cheers , Simon

Hey Sam, you looking for hammocking or on the ground?

What's your budget for a tarp?

 

[spiritwalker]

if its for solo use poncho tarps are handy check military mart you can grab them for a few quid short of a tenner sometimes failing that the dd hammocks 3x3m is around £30

Hey Sam, you looking for hammocking or on the ground?

I'm wanting to be going on the ground under a tarp.. Dnt really fancy a hammock

Fair does, well a DD 3x3m is going to be your best bet, relatively cheap and loads of pitching options.

And where would be the best place to pick one of those up for as cheap as possible???

DD Shop £35 delivered, might seem alot when your starting out, but its money well spent.

Could also look at tenth wonder tarps, can find them on eBay.
Can't remember if they have a website as well.

twhammocks.co.uk Just ordered a Sargasso storm tarp to go with my TW XL

My friend has the Cornelius tarp which is TW equivalent of the DD 3x3m its very good but seems to be out of stock atm.

Highlander basha or an ex army tarp will do for growing dowelling

I've got a decathlon too - using clingons or similar give you more options when pitching it

I think for ground dwelling and general use its hard to beat an army basha; tough, fairly flexible in options easily picked up for a reasonable price. Maybe a tad heavy but that is cos its bombproof
Its what I started with and I still use it when ground dwelling I have added a micro tarp to use as a beak but that's luxury

The desert ones seem to be a bit cheaper at the moment

There are plenty of very cheap builders' tarps about, you can pick one up for under a fiver. They usually don't have so many fixing points as purpose-made jobs but if can make sure you pick sheltered spots (or it isn't windy) and you just want to get an idea of the size that suits you it's a cheaper way of doing it.
