tarp

I'm thinking of cheap or zero cost housing alternatives and one of the things that came to mind was: building & sleeping in a diy shelter made out of cardboard, and using a tarp to cover the shelter from rain 🌧️ soaking me. How do you make a diy shelter out of cardboard & set up a rain tarp...

I'm extremely tight on fundz right now, I want to make myself a emergency diy shelter with corage, a tarp and with some trees. Where are some free places that might help assist with getting me these things?

Hey yall! I've been spending my days researching about tents and bivys and now; to tarps. I would like to hear yalls favorite configurations for your DIY tarp tent. I've found this cool photo on rolling fox, and i'm honestly surprised at the many, many ways you can use it for any type of weather.

title says it all? I have a pretty decent tarp but only evee use it to sleep, does a bivy make that much of a difference?

Looking to give away one or both of these tarps. I bought them back in 2016 and left them in a drawer and never used them. Only discovered that they're too big for what I need like 3 days ago. The colors were listed as brown and green, though the green is more of an aqua. Will bring to you if...

Hello stick and pokers....stuck home right now looking to start poking myself again. Been using a lame pencil rig and looking to up my game... What inks do yall use? Best needles? Let's see some pics!

Hey all, I'm planning on using a tarp on my travels instead of a tent to save weight but I have some questions. I tried searching for them all over the site but couldn't find anything that would answer my questions. Okay, now to the questions: 1. I've heard tyvek house wrap makes for a good...

I found this nylon blind material on the Cabelas website thanks to @Mankini that is used for making your own hunting blinds. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Hunters-Specialties-Blind-Material-ft/1239031.uts Seems like you could buy a grommet kit or those tarp clips and have a very cheap high...

I thought about a throw-tent and 2 tarps as padding and rain protechtion. But i never saw this in the forum. Is there a reason for it?

ive got a pretty sweet camp spot; heats up real quick when the sun is up tho & since my tent is stupidly bright colors, I covered it with a camo tarp. I threw this off as soon as I got up; it can't be helping the heat & the site is reasonably well hidden. I was thinking about getting a bigger...

@HippieGangster's improvised shelter while squatting in Southern Utah:

Trying to decide on my rough camping options...I'm planning on a hitching trip and I'd previously been really nervous about the idea of getting "stuck" in between towns or rides and having to sleep out in the open. Like, really nervous. But, I'm guessing that it should help a little bit if I...

Just finished up this short review... *** For a full detailed list of all the tested ultralight equipment scroll to end of this post. Hello folks, I'm back after a year of learning and experiences. I have a lot to share and decided to make a quick video to kick it off. I wasn't totally...

Hi! Just a question that came to my mind ... I'm testing my gear right now in the garden :rolleyes: and of course the sleeping bag or tarp gets wet from time to time. From rain or condensation. Here it's not a problem, I just take my stuff home, unfurl it and it'll dry over the day. But on the...

One alternative to a tent, hammock, bridge, trap, or building is a called a bevy sac. I haven't met a lot of people out side of the military or survivalist type that seem to be aware of what a bevy sac is, and I am the only person I know who has one. I think they are a great option for any one...

that's what I recently started using for a tent. I can wrap the tent stakes with the string, fold up the tarp and fasten to pack, and carry walking stick. The walking stick makes a great prop for hitchhiking. When I'm incognito (camping in an orchard), I can set up the tarp wide and short (hot...

it's not too bad just yet but my house has a few holes in it i should probably fix up. anyone have any tips on materials or even how to do the stitching? all i ever do is a retard's running stitch but i'd like to learn how to do something sturdier

after a short winter panhandling trip with 3 blankets, I've realized that blankets aren't made for outside sleeping in the cold. my solution to this problem is 2 emergency blankets, 1 as a ground covering and 1 as a blanket. after spending $8 on 2 emergency blankets I realized they will quickly...

I've searched many online stores and DIY sites for a cheap and light weight silnylon tarp. High quality namebrand tarps and tarp tents are just too expensive at the moment for me. So i have a 7'x10' rain-fly for a dome tent that im going to try and modify for a tarp setup. The only problem i...

I imagine this boils down to personal preference and/or knowledge of outdoor survival skills, but which of these two items generally makes for a better pack accessory on cross-country trips? When camping (weekend trips), I've used a tarp instead of a tent — if you know how to stake it and work...

anyone have any luck or experience with spray painting tarps? i have a bright blue tarp and I want to make it dark and more camoflauged. Any other methods for changing the color of a tarp?
