Fishing Knots, Fishing Knots & Boating, Boat For Sale

I mean a decent quality tarp that can be tensioned up on poles and ropes to give shade and provide shelter from the rain as well. If you are somewhere for a few nights and your swag gets wet the first night, sleep won't come easy after that.

Throughout the heat of the day, the tarp is a source of shade for the times it's too hot to fish or the tides aren't right, or when you're cooking lunch. I have several tarps to make a camp comfy, and over time have bought several for different functions.

Apart from the big bugger, which is 8m x 10m for extended trips with the family, I have another which is more for the two to three day stays. It's about 3.5m x 5m and is designed for sleeping under when it's just me and a mate.

Adjustable poles are definitely worth investing in, and even though they're heavy to cart, they are essential for comfy, long-term camps unless you have plenty of trees to tie off to. Sprung ropes are like a dampener or shock absorber for the windy days, and to help keep the tarp taught and stop water pooling, which ultimately could collapse the tarp. Apart from keeping tension on the tarp as it shrinks and stretches and reducing flapping in the breeze, it also counteracts the peg pulling in all but the strongest of winds.

The choice of pegs is huge these days, and those little bent tooth pick types are great for using to hook the billy handle off the fire, but that's about it really. A tarp is only as good as the pegs that hold it in place and the choice is also wide, but not cheap these days. Solid steel are the best choice and if you have any good tools you can make your own out of concrete reo bar, or star pickets with a hook welded on the top. If you're buying pegs though, for the sand and soft dirt camping go for the fibreglass 450mm long star picket style, as they really take some dislodging but are pretty costly.

The most important pegs are the corner pegs and you need two of each for a corner, so start off with at least eight and get one here and there as time goes by to end up with a full set.

When it comes to eskies it's all about how long you'll be staying out bush. If you plan on keeping fish to take home, you have to consider how accessible ice is from your camp.

Often the best option is to get a portable fridge/freezer if you're going to do a fair bit of camping and travelling. I have an Engel ice box, and I have camped for up to five days without the need for replenishing when it is half filled for the trip.
