Survival Training in a tarp

no bugs at all that night. it was cozy to say the least

Storm over head all day, but no rain

One of the instructors, Nick on the Left is ex Special Forces.

insulated the edges with dirt, had room for backpack.
Took a Wilderness Survival course with the Mtn Club.  Spent Saturday night in a tarp. What I learned was the weight of the tarp, duct tape and contractor bag is same if not more of a Ultra Light tent without the room for Kala. And the tarp took over an hour to set up. Tent 10 mins. so if I did get into trouble, I'd rather have the tent...   Slept better in the tarp than I expected.
