27: Tech Talk 5 - Tarps with Evan Howard and Ty Domin

Overland Archive Podcast

Another Tech Talk, gear-focused episode this time focusing on tarps. I'm joined as always for the Tech Talk episodes by my good friend Ty Domin, and this time, also by Evan Howard, of Terra Rosa Gear, manufacturer of incredible ultralight tarps here in Melbourne, and someone who's pushed tarp usage to the extremes.
Some great insights in to all things tarps including size and material choice, pitches, knots, and a general pro/con comparison of why you would choose a tarp over another type of shelter for bikepacking.
A look at Evan's prussik system for his guylines as mentioned in the show: https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlnyY_lBZt/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
