TARP CAMPING - Everything YOU NEED to KNOW!! HInts, tips & nadvice!

Tarp Camping - taking camping to another level - closer to the nature, open to the elements, an altogether wilder and more liberating experience.

This is a retrospective guide to Tarp Camping using footage from the 6 plus years that Nath and myself have been doing Summit or Nothing. So whether we are tarp camping in freezing conditions, tarp camping in strong winds or tarp camping during heavy rain - we have had a go at it all!

Why do people tarp camp? What are the benefits of tarp camping? What are the negatives of tarp camping? Is tarp camping safe? Is tarp camping comfortable? Is tarp camping cold? Is it easy to put up a tarp shelter? Are you likely to get invaded by creatures whilst tarp camping? Is tarp camping for you?

Between them Trev and Nath have been tarp tent camping in all kinds of conditions, tarp camping in heavy winds and torrential rain, tarp camping in below freezing sub-zero icy cold winter conditions, and sometimes they have lucked out on perfect conditions too. So for some tarp camping tips, and some hilarious summit or nothing footage (like another one or two of Trev's tarp set up attempts) then this video should tick every box!
