  • The lowly tarp

    Sorry if this has been discussed.

    One piece of gear I recommend for everyone is the rubberized tarp. They come in different sizes and colors and can be found everywhere. I prefer the silver colored tarps because they are more durable. I roll some para cord and a few bungies in an 8x10 and tie it on my field pack. Lager ones are in my vehicle and home.

    Some uses:

    Emergency cover for storm damaged roofs
    Numerous types of shelters
    Ground cloth
    Sleeping bag
    Did I say shelter
    Drag bag
    wind breaker or
    rain coat
    emergency litter
    fish trap
    Don't forget shelter
    privacy screen (camping)
    wind screne
    solar still
    basin to collect rain water
    wash tub for clothes, babys or you
    root cellar
    concealment
    Make shift sled
    sein
    portalet
    last but not least: SHELTER

    If it gets torn up:
    chaps
    pouches
    scabbard

    These are what I can think of off the top of my head. Feel free to add to the list.
