>>2600659>you don’t need a bivvy when you have a tarpIf you're in the forest and its raining then there will be a fine damp mist that comes from water hitting the trees which gets under the tarp and it'll damp your sleeping bag eventually. If its windy even more so.
>>2600658Yeah man, the tarp in the rain is 10/10. You don't need to be cooped up in a tent all day, it's great. I have spent many days and nights under a tarp in the rain, watching the storm blow through the forest, telling yarns with my companions. Keeping the dog dry when it wants to go get wet. Have a fire outside the tarp that you can still enjoy. Catching water off the tarp and drinking lots of coffee. Its just a tarp vibe that you can't replicate, it makes a rainy day in the bush something that you crave as much as the good weather.
I guess being in a good tent is probably gonna be drier over all. but cooking in a tent sucks, I'm there to be outside and a tarp lets you do that.
