Hi,

Has anyone ever used the Wychwood tactical tarp? I love the idea but I just don't know how realistic it is, I seem to take quite a bit of stuff with me and that's just for a quick overnighter, where would you store it all.

Anyone used one??

Thanks

Hi, I nearly bought one recently for a certain venue but couldn't justify the price. I usually use a brolly, so not used to luxury!

I've picked up a basha instead, make an offer on this (I paid £13)

I have the bigger one and think its great. I wouldn't want to be under it in severe weather conditions but for quick over nighters its worth having in the car. In regards to storing other bits, I either slide them under my bed chair or the stuff I want to keep extra safe/dry I pop on the barrow under a waterproof cover.

thanks for the feedback, they do look useful and obviously quick to get up and pack down, especially the XL one.

Yeah they are certainly reserved for a summers night rather then our recent conditions.

I get your point about the price I think angling direct did one for half the price, but not sure about the quality.

I really like mine - though as pointed out - i only use if its forecast for light showers through the night.

i use it on a big pit where even with a barrow going light/compact really helps.

Not sure what you take on an overnighter (might help to list so people can advise on coverage) but i just take a TA rucksack. bucket with bait/spombs/catapult etc and water butt goes buy the side as is obviously waterproof. empty quiver goes under the bed.

thanks mate, think i've decided to get one, if it doesn't work out then i can just use it to go over the barrow.
