I've seen lots of bike packing threads and use of tarps on here, so yesterday thought i'd give it a go in the garden. Its quite an art getting one set up and very satisfying once its done. I even learnt how to do a tautline hitch knot which i used a few of to keep it tight.

In true glamping style, i used a tent pole, and a nice level base!

Had a bit of light rain last night & stayed dry!

Was fun to do, a bit like tent origami!

You're much younger than I expected.
