I found A £19.99 Camping Tarp In A Supermarket! (Was it Worth it?)

[@WildJam.]

Dimensions for this tarp on packaging shows 285×285 cm for anyone wondering

[@pauledwards499]

Great for an emergency shelter on a day hike. I'd use hiking poles and take a ridge line to use with trees, no poles needed that way and less chance of the wind affecting it. Great starter tarp at that price.

[@nickoynwa]

good for the price tarp camping is very good in summer cant see it surviving a British winter though

[@WildJam.]

Definitely gotta test it in the rain for sure

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 £20.00 .. if it does the job, then why not? Each to their own .. but me? I would ditch those poles and just use my Hiking Poles. With my knees 🙄, they accompany me anyway and their adjustability gives me more setup options. The supplied straps could be used as part of a Ridge Line or replaced altogether by Cordage. Setup, the way you are doing it with fixed pole lengths. * Sort out an 'ideal' configuration in your garden. * Mark a Strap on each end of the Tarp with some tape / whatever, indicate the optimum distance between the pegs at each open end. * The rest is then easy-peas with minimal peg adjustment needed. I have learned by experience 'how far' my tent pegs should be apart, but even then, I plant one of my hiking poles upright with tarp. Reach over and set both pegs. Keep tension on the upright Pole Guy Line and set it's Tent Peg. Keep tension on the tarp while going to the other end to repeat. Pole height and Peg adjustments are minimal thereafter. A proper 'road test' would be nice, please. Thanks for sharing .. take care .l

[@WildJam.]

Thanks for the suggestion nice idea for a ridge line I’ll definitely get this tested out camping soon

[@lenrice7482]

nice video - thanks for posting - I've just bought 2 of these at £2.99 each in the sale!

[@WildJam.]

Wow £2.99 is crazy

[@volestoat]

I've just been looking at my DD tarp drying. It's not regular seam tape it's chemically bonded/welded to the tarp highly flexable. Get a DD or branded tarp

[@WildJam.]

Definitely will look in to it thank you

[@SuperEarther]

yeah have heard many people liking the dd tarp when they go hammock camping

[@jayshah8455]

I've just bought this one from Aldi for £12.99. struggle to go wrong at that price!

[@volestoat]

@@jayshah8455 I know what you mean. No you can't really I might get one. You can always seam seal it if it leaks just clear silicone 50/50 with mineral spirits.

[@MrJedigogs]

Got one reduced to £8 today, got a DD ultra light for when I'm out and but this is perfect to leave in the car

[@WildJam.]

I just went down to look wow 8 quid is a bargain can’t go wrong with that

[@davidhudson7590]

Good job for money but I got dd one for 35 for 3.5x3.5 but id try that if had seen it good budget options for beginers not everybody has big piggy banks

[@WildJam.]

I’ll take a look and Yh true

[@andrewgreen7996]

Good tarp that mate looks like it do the job iv got a Decathlon Tracking tarp and that's brilliant 👍💯

[@WildJam.]

Ow nice will look that one up Ty

[@Gooner-1971]

Good in the rain 👍- not great in wind though…pole bent at the joint 😢

[@WildJam.]

Ow wow will test it might make a fun video

[@loremice6809]

Great video mate I live near Aldi I might Pop in and get one.👍

[@WildJam.]

Aldi tarp ... I have one it's a good buy tbh I used mine a couple times

[@WildJam.]

Nice nice I really need to test this out in rain at some point

[@richardssult913]

Take an inch off each pole. Make it easier to get in your pack. Won’t make a big difference to your overall setup.

[@WildJam.]

Nice idea

[@TimmyBobinson]

I got it for £15 on sake. Couldn't refuse for that price.

[@WildJam.]

Can’t go wrong with that

[@TimelordUK]

I've been looking for something like this. Shame about the non stealth colour. Could you donate video showing it's LARGEST configuration, tallest poles and stretched out wide to allow three people to sit underneath in chairs? That's what I need it for. Cheers!

[@WildJam.]

Will do mate I’ll get on it, i have set it up once with all the poles and stretch out abit it’s big ish I’ll do a video so you can see for sure

[@TimelordUK]

@@WildJam. Excellent!! I didn't mean to type 'donate' I meant 'do a video ' but you worked it out. Yeah me and some friends take small 2 man tents and it would be great to have a central area to sit together on our chairs if it rains, that's why I'd like to see it's largest configuration before I buy one. I would also pack the poles separately on the outside of my rucksack in the side pocket where I keep my tent poles.

[@DestinyHawk]

This is one looks good but no floor and looks like it will constantly keep the falling lol

[@WildJam.]

Can add a floor tho in a different way I’ll build a few different ways at some point

[@DestinyHawk]

[@pedalparadise4096]

But what are the dimensions? Size is part of the evaluation.

[@WildJam.]

Pinned comment

[@TonyStares]

I think as long as it lasts it's a great deal, I would get one if I needed it

[@WildJam.]

I was surprised how good it was for the price but like you say only time will tell and I still need to rain test it

[@TonyStares]

@@WildJam. I like the fact that it's silver on the inside, I've just paid £70 for a 3m x 3m and a tenner for a set of poles that look very similar lol

[@silversurfer1790]

Av they got them in another colour👍👍

[@WildJam.]

Could only see it in this grey they may have tho

[@jamieniche]

They are reduced to £15 now

[@WildJam.]

Yhyh indeed I saw that today

[@Nemor1475]

[@WildBorkysadventures]

Thats a bargin price, have you teasted it in heavy rain. Ive got a dd tarp for my hammock but looking for a tarp shelter for near fire for woodland camps, is it still in Aldi👍

[@WildJam.]

Atm I’ve not tested in the rain but will be soon and yes still should be in Aldi in store maybe not the website but the item is still listed just not in stock online so look in store if possible

[@WildBorkysadventures]

[@christonkinson8473]

I have same tarp tested it in the rain last week there was a couple of drips getting through the seam but next time I unfold it I'm rubbing a candle down the inside and outside of the centre seam

[@WildBorkysadventures]

@christonkinson8473 maybe seam seal it with the same stuff you use on lanshans

[@christonkinson8473]

@@WildBorkysadventures I'll try that as waxing isn't always reliable the 1st or 2nd time
