Tarp Tips #9 Tarpaulins: Are they worth the set-up hassle? If you've ever been camping for more than 3 or 4 days in a row, the chances are that you've probably been caught in either a downpour of rain, or a storm - maybe you’ve even had some dew or salt sea spray in the air from the ocean if you beach camp.  When this happens to campers in a tent or even a modern day camper trailer and you haven't prepared or set up correctly, it can ruin your entire trip and your future camping experiences.
