Camping Equipment Recommendations?
You might consider one of the Ray Jardine tarp kits .
http://www.ray-way.com/kits/index.shtml Contrary to the picture shown on the web page in his tarp book he list various ways of using the tarp with line between trees . This type tarp would appear to be what is being used on a kayaking trip from foldingkayakadventures web page : http://www.dotphoto.com/GuestViewIma...1&IID=36872892 though in this case there are still no trees just sticks found along the shore . Or a Kifaru Paratarp , if you are not into sewing , but I think it is less versatile . They come in a coyote brown color now . http://www.kifaru.net/paratarp.htm D Mike McCrea wrote: I'd suggest a coated-nylon parawing. ... Tarps are great of course for rainy days, but also for use as a sunshade, and wings are more stable in the wind and drain water more efficiently that a flat tarp..... For kayak camping you can devise a way to use your paddles as poles for the two high corners (or better yet your spare paddles, which will allow you to leave the tarp set up while you day paddle and explore away from camp). wpatrick wrote in message ... We have not bought.... camping gear in years and are looking for recommendations on makes, models, |
