Frequently Asked Questions
What is a basha?
A basha is the military term for a tarp shelter. It is a sheet of waterproof material pitched with cord and pegs or poles to create overhead cover, used on its own or over a hammock or sleeping setup.
What do I need to pitch a tarp?
Typically paracord or guylines, pegs and either trekking poles or trees as anchor points. Many tarps have multiple attachment points so you can pitch them in different configurations to suit the weather.
Tarp or tent - which should I choose?
A tarp is lighter, more versatile and great for bushcraft and good weather, while a tent offers full enclosure and insect protection. Many people pair a tarp with a hammock or bivvy bag.
