Whilst on a recent weeks camp this summer, we decided to have a BBQ one evening. The weather looked changeable and I was slightly concerned, but went ahead with the BBQ anyway. Whilst cooking the food in a rushed fashion and keeping one eye on the weather, it occurred to me that the Tarp I had recently seen at Decathlon would have been a great piece of kit to have at that moment.
I considered that if I’d set the Tarp up as a stand-alone canopy away from the tent, I would have been happy to cook under it with confidence against the rain, whilst all 4 sides would be open to the elements to allow air to flow. It would have basically been a large umbrella. I did consider there was a very small risk of an ember getting onto the tarp and the tarp catching fire, but the risk is really small and it’s a simple case of move away and put out the fire with your extinguisher (shame on you, if you don’t have one) then replace, after all there only £24.99. Not really sure why I mention this risk as its really minimal.
On my next visit to Decathlon I brought one and it got tested last weekend.
