(Trip Report) Camping at Thredbo - A How To Guide :P
I agree, above the tree line the tarp would not be that beneficial and most likely end up bein a UFO, but at a place like Diggings I reckon that it would be well worth it!!!!!
The tarp will act as a secondary fly and take some pressure off the tents poles and ropes!!!!!
Not disagreeing Mizu. My point is more if a tent is set up correctly then the tarp shouldn’t be needed..well for most tents 
(awesome to have though and especially cool for providing a place to sit n drink/play cards if raining). Also as someone who hammock camps and sleeps under tarps when hiking, if someone can’t pitch a tent with the instructions, they’ve got bucklies of getting a tarp set up well in crap weather

I think coops might be tellin ya somethin, Dan????? 
Not disagreeing Mizu.
And you of all people know that I can take a good argument on the chin!!!!!
Lol. No no. Not at all. Though I think the gals in oz’s pics may have struggled with a tarp that day. I know I’ve have many a tent n tarp argument that’s why I always play with mine in the yard. My current 4 season tent may as well have instructions in another language as they were useless. Just needs practice…but I got there lol
edit here’s the beast in question. Pain in the posterior the first time you pitch it

Well I hope that new fan dangled swag of yours fits into ya DaKine Heli Pro Backpack then?????
Lol you nearly made me pee my pants. I’ve got to say I still lament over not getting the dakine. I really liked it and the BCA is a touch too big. If only Id listened to you amongst all that riff raff
A tarp can replace a tent but not the other way around, and they have so many other benefits/uses.
I always have a small tarp folded up in my car someplace. At home there a dozen.
Dan, you need to watch some BearGrills.

It was a pretty crazy weekend!
Alison and i could not believe what had happened to them when we got there.
But as you, do we all made the most of it and the boys delt with a bad situation pretty well.
At the end of the night Dan and I powered on with a few beers and Ryan almost fell aspleep in lui’s lap
The tents are now in my garbage bin lol
Great TR
I reckon swag would better off than the sleeping bags…. next time
Yep swag works great even in the alpine. But not if sleeping above tree line.
told ya it gets wind up there
