>>2562260The tarp is more compact than just about any tent. So if you're trying to save on pack space, tarps are the way to go. The spectacular ventilation also prevents my stuff from getting damp overnight.
>>2562240Bingo. Tarps work really well for winter camps if you don't want to spring for a hot tent. It's way less weight than a hot tent as well. It's more fuss, considering the fire is harder to maintain, but the cost-effectiveness and versatility is hard to beat.
I wouldn't dream of taking my tarp above the treeline. But for any other terrain it's really good. It's light, compact, cheap, and lets you pitch a quick shelter wherever there's enough of a windbreak. That's the strength of a tarp.
>>2562246I like pic rel for solo camping. Just stake in the middle of the farthest side, stake out both near corners, pitch the middle of the near side to a tree, and adjust the stake tension. Roll the spare flaps underneath the shelter.
