DD 3x3m Tarp???

[Domevs]

Hi all,

I am looking into purchasing myself a 3x3 DD tarp for use as ground dwelling but give me the flexibilty of hammocking, how do you all set yours up if you are in the open with a lack of trees, I was thinking maybe a ridge pole or single pole and angle it down to keep out the elements. I would be grateful for any links. Thoughts??

Thanks

Dom

Dom,

exactly how to do it mate, use walking poles, basha poles or tent extension poles would work. You could even use cut sticks. hth

I bought a 3x3 tarp from Decathlon yesterday which seems ok, haven't really had a chance to try it out fully yet. It comes with 2 poles and only cost £19.99, might be worth a look. Linky

Lupis, i've used mine for 3 years now and hane no complaints, other that the poles rust and there's no ridge loops, lol apart from that it's a great piece of kit for £20
