When we attended the Bushcraft Show last month we took a gazebo. Whilst it was reasonably waterproof it was entirely un-windproof and not very bushcrafty, so I’ve been thinking of doing something different for the Wilderness Gathering. So yesterday, armed with a few bolts and brackets, I went to the camp and cut down some of the ash which needs to be thinned and came up with the rig in the photo below.
I slid a pole under the roof bars on my car and fastened a tarp to it. I attached the other end of the tarp to another pole and sat this in 2 brackets attached to tripods. Only 2 legs of the tripods are poles, the third is paracord to give some tension.
I think it should work!
Just got a 4.5m tarp from DD so hoping to try out the same rig with that next week. If it works, you can see for yourself at the Wilderness Gathering
Looks good to me dad!
