Hi All,
got another n00b question for ya.
I've got a weekend pass for the end of the month and will most likely be heading up to loch ard or similar (loads of trees, loads of moss on the ground). I'm thinking about taking my new tarp and bivi instead of a tent to save on weight. Never used either before & was wondering what the general rules are?
I've had a look at the tarp tutorials and I'm reaching overload with the different ways to pitch. which configurations do you prefer and why (i.e. when would you use a wedge instead of a ridge line)
Also what kind of ground conditions do you look for when finding a place to pitch (do you look for grass instead of moss etc)
sorry if this is a basic beginer question
