Here I compare a $20 tarp and a $170 tarp to show 6 ways how to set them up for most camping and hiking set ups. Is the expensive, quality tarp from Alton goods worth the money for Tarp Camping in Australia?
Here is an affiliate link to Alton Goods in my Linktr.ee

My all-time favorite go-to tarp is still my DD 4x4 meter tarp. There is so much I can do with this tarp including configuring it as a completely enclosed shelter. My favorite way to use it is as a hammock tent.

Love my Alton tarp. Have had plenty of great camps under hootchie and the blue and the green/silver tarps. It's great showing people they don't need expensive gear to camp Great video!

Cheers mate. It's become the most expensive way to live like a homeless person lol.

Nice trick with the tautline hitch instead of a prusik. If you finish the tautline by feeding just a bite through it becomes quick release, really handy if you have a long working end. Cheers 🇨🇦 love your content

2:21 Actually you CAN buy the Alton Tarp in store. They have a shop in Brisbane and are stocked in every Paddy Pallin as well as All Goods.

Thanks for that. I knew about Brizzy but didn't know Paddy Pallin stocked them. I usually don't shop there.

There are so many ways to tie these tarps. During winds I tie an edge against the car roof rack. For a sun shelter at the beach I use higher centre poles, and short poles on the corners so that we can look all around. Care with fire embers.

Nice one John simple and to the point and hopefully will be helpful to newbie's. I have been watching Dave Canterbury and it doesn't look like he's going to try and beat your ridgeline time (mind you I don't think anyone could) LONG LIVE THE KING OF THE CORD Been a bit crook of late not getting younger that's for sure. All the best John the pom

Unexpected pleasure finding you. Great video. My daughter lives in Sidney, was there for a visit a few months ago. Really enjoyed your country. Well Sidney, didn't get to the outdoors. Many thanks for the video. Arkansas, USA.

Bought a similar DD Tarp awhile back. It was a good investment. As an old guy, I've tried them all... the new light ripstop tarps are worth it. If you don't own one, go for it.

@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia exactly. There's no rhyme or reason sometimes but as long as a guy enjoys it. Coming into winter here. We had 8.5 inches of snow the other day & -12. Thankfully it looks like it's going to be mild for a while again. You're moving into summer. What will you see for temperatures?

Nice. What's the advantage of the taut line hitch vs. the prussik loop?

@OutdoorAcademyAustralia 3 ай бұрын

Nothing really. I was attaching a length of cordage to the tarp so it was easier just to tie it straight to the ridgeline. I don't run prusics on all my ropes.
