Traveling abroad is still problematic for some, while others find they just
prefer a holiday at home - short trips to the UK may still be the daily schedule
for the upcoming summer. Camping has come back into vogue after great
popularity and is now probably the favorite option for many of us. As we have
shown in the last few blogs, camping with a tarpaulin is a great option.
Tarpaulin tents can really be a great alternative to traditional tents - and
there are many advantages to this option.
You may naturally think that tarpaulins are not a suitable option, but more
and more outdoor enthusiasts have realized that this is not the case. You may
think that tarpaulins don't offer enough protection from these elements, or that
they are difficult to set up. When used as a shelter, however, tarpaulins are
indeed versatile. Whatever your specific situation and needs, your one tarp can
offer a wide range of options.
So now you've realized the amazing adaptability and versatility of
tarpaulins, what other advantages are there?
Multi-Purpose PVC Tarpaulin
Get close to nature and experience camping the way it used to be. Many
tarpaulin shelter configurations will have one or two areas open to the
elements, allowing you to wake up to a beautiful sunrise or morning dew. Weather
permitting, this can provide a more unsanitary experience than a manufactured
tent with zips and allow you to experience camping more similar to the
traditional ways of our ancestors and forefathers. Camping forums and websites
have recently demonstrated this, with many people reporting their positive
experiences with this back-to-nature approach.
Lightweight and space-saving. Tarpaulins are made from extremely light but
strong and waterproof materials. They take up less space in your backpack than
modern tents, not least because you can secure your tarp shelter to or between
trees, meaning you don't need to carry heavy tent pegs with you. Anything that
reduces the weight and space in your pack is a boon for any camper.
Versatile and easy to build. We've already talked about this, but it can't be
overstated. Not only can you set up a tarp tent in a number of ways (see
previous blog for examples) - some of which can be set up in seconds - but tarps
can also be used to create extra sheltered areas for cooking, entertaining or
privacy, and can be used as ground mats or to protect your fire or equipment
from the elements.
Uses of PVC Tarpaulin
Economical. Tarpaulins come in a variety of types and sizes, with prices
starting from a few pounds, depending on the size, quality, and thickness
required. In comparison, a tent of similar size and quality may be much more
expensive but certainly not as versatile (there is really only one use for a
tent). Therefore, if you are on a budget, a tarp may be a good option.
You've learned a skill that could save lives. Making shelters using
tarpaulins or similar sheets is a skill taught in almost all armed forces around
the world. Often referred to as Basha or Bivi in the army, tarpaulins can
actually save lives if you are unknowingly exposed to a dangerous situation (not
to mention potential uses such as a makeshift stretcher), meaning that if you
learn this skill you can save lives and find yourself in such a predicament in
the future.
