Collection: Activities - Bushcraft - Tarps

Compare weather protection options with a specific setup plan

Tarps for bushcraft are selected based on the desired coverage area, setup, and portability. A tarp provides open-air weather protection and does not automatically serve all the functions of a complete shelter. Determine how many people and what gear need to be accommodated. The planned location, as well as existing or brought-along attachment options, influence the most practical design.

Match tarps with accessories and the ground surface

Compare anchor points, material specifications, and dimensions based on your intended setup. Ropes, stakes, or poles are not generally included in the package. Therefore, check the specific equipment and compatible accessories. The ground surface and permitted use at the site should also be factored into your planning. A large tarp requires adequate space and suitable fastenings; it is not necessarily the more practical choice simply because of its size. Insulation and ground gear should be evaluated separately. Care and storage should follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Area: Does the cover accommodate the number of people and the planned luggage?
• Setup: Do the shape and anchor points match your intended use?
• Accessories: Are the necessary fasteners included or can they be added as needed?
• Location: Is there sufficient suitable and permitted space available for setup?

Test-pack for trips in Switzerland

Compare bushcraft gear and bushcraft stoves for the various activities planned during your trip. Plan your cooking area according to the instructions, regardless of weather protection. Explore tarps for bushcraft and test the intended setup in a suitable location before your trip. This will help you determine your accessory and space requirements before using your full load on the trail.
