Interesting to hear your description, Jochen, of using the tarp. I went on a canoe trip with a fellow some years ago and he did a similar thing by turning the canoe on its side and stretching the tarp over the canoe and then out to the side to make a low enclosure, also supported by a paddle. We were camping on the sandy beaches of the Sabine River so the ground was good for such an arrangement. We had a rather bad thunderstorm and he weathered it fairly well. ...Edwin >Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 15:58:05 +0100 >From: "Jochen Grikschat" <grikschat_at_surfeu.de> >Maybe iīm a little bit extreme, but most time I didnīt got a tent on my >tours.
