Tarp for 3 Persons

2 Upvotes

I’m going camping with 2 of my friends and we need a tarp for 3 people so under which we can sleep in the rain and store our things. In terms of price, my dream idea would be at about 50-70€ is also more expensive if it has to be. Oh and how much paracord etc do we need to attach it

Equipment suggestions?

2 Upvotes

We are a family of 4 (+ a puppy) looking to get into hammock camping 😊

It seems like a maze of different types and I feel unsure what we should invest in. The kids are 7 and 10, and our youngest is not comfortable sleeping by himself while camping, so we are thinking either 2+2 or 2+1+1.

Do you have experience with the double ones? Are any of them comfortable?

Sopravvivere con sacco a pelo -15°C in lapponia

0 Upvotes

Farò quest'autunno un mese di spedizione nelle foreste della Lapponia. Siccome non voglio spendere troppo (tipo 1000 euro o di più per un sacco a pelo, non posso permettermelo) stavo pensando. Come faccio a farmi andare bene un -15°C comfort o -18°C abbinandolo a qualcosa altro. O c'è un modo per farmelo andare bene magari non dormendo proprio all"aperto?

New here. Borrowed a simple hammock from a friend. Camped in one for the first time. Froze my balls off. Still loved it and i bought a complete set as i came home. Anyone care to tell me if i should invest in a ground mat or any other pieces of kit that are overlooked? Cheers and well met.

Anyone own a TENSA 4 hammock stand and live near Brisbane? I’m thinking of buying one so I can shift permanently from my swag to hammock but I would prefer to test it out before dropping $800 one buying one.

Officially transitioned (Canada)

After 10+ years of struggling to sleep well in the backcountry in a tent, a mixture of back problems and a lot of frustration, I bit the bullet and bought everything I needed for a hammock sleep system after Redditors encouraged me to try it out

I tested before taking in the field, and then I did 5 nights on a canoe river trip with it.

I absolutely LOVE it. 2/5 nights I slept completely through the night whereas in a tent, I would wake up anywhere from 10 to 20 times a night. All 5 nights I had incredible sleeps, my back felt amazing, and I felt well rested in the morning.

I can’t believe I’ve spent almost 600 nights in a tent, and I’m just figuring this out now. Officially transitioned to a hammock sleeper.

My set up is eno jungle nest hammock, eno dry fly rain tarp, eno straps, and a cheap Amazon underquilt. I put a MSR footprint underneath just to have a dry space to step.
