Make Your Own Tarp For $5

By Friedel on 13th September 2010 in Bike Touring Tips, Trip Equipment

Our homemade tarp, all set up and ready to go!We’ve mentioned many times how tarps are incredibly useful on a bike tour, so imagine our disappointment when we recently discovered our tarp had been misplaced.

We only found this out 2 days before we left to go bike touring in Denmark. What to do?

This post is the story of how we made a new tarp, in just 30 minutes and using only $5 U.S. worth of supplies.

Perfect? No. But a lot better than not having a tarp at all, and surprisingly robust in a night of strong rain and high winds.
