Tarp ideas

I thought it was the latest GSA at first glance.

I have Tatonka but don't use them any longer as one of the sections split, rendering the other pole useless. And they weren't cheap.

I bought these (no longer available as this "make" but probably exactly the same available under another name. Cheap and did the job well recently.

Can't remember the tarp but had it for years. They are quite heavy but worth sacrificing something else for when packing.

I am same 6’3”.

The poles are very clever. They push into each other ( a bit of a puzzle) but, the do not rattle, and feel a solid baton of aluminium. The do not fit inside my Givi Outback Treckker panniers, so I tend to carry them strapped across the pillion seat inside an old tripod type chair bag. I believe that the 180cm version will fit inside the pannier though.

The video bellow does show exactly what I mean by a Puzzle.

Hours of amusement, a party trick once you have practiced it !

The reason I did mine in a square was because the cold wind was heading straight up the valley to the campsite from the sea. Once I’d finished messing about outside I dropped the front right down to stop the cold blast. It also rained that night and did a great job of stopping that blowing inside when I opened the door.
