I love being in the outdoors more than most anything in the world. My collection of camping and outdoor equipment is larger than everything else I own combined. While it can be pricey to get into camping and outdoor sports, I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. So when I need new equipment, whether it be a sleeping bag or heavy duty poly tarps, I buy the best of the best. Name brands aren't all that important to me, but quality is. Of course, I could save a few bucks and buy my gear at a cheaper store, but it would not last as long and the quality would be lower. Heavy duty poly tarps, for example, can last for years if you get ones that are high quality. There are plenty of ways tarps can be used: 1. Tarps are great for a makeshift shelter. 2. You can use a tarp to be a rain cover over yourself or your gear. 3. Tarps are durable enough to withstand most weather conditions. 4. If it is raining, tarps make a great doormat or outdoor space to put your muddy boots outside. I have two tarps in my arsenal - one heavy duty and one thin. Share
