I recall seeing a few people using what's essentially a big tarp and a bankstick to create a cover over their bedchair for summer evenings without the need for a bivvy. What are they called? How do they work and where do I buy one?

wychwood do a carp tarp, any tarp would do. I'm lying under one now at the side of the river..they're a bit fiddly to set up spot on I.e with the storm poles so it's not baggy and too low but I quite like them tbh.

a quick picture for you, not set up the best tbh as no rain forecast.
