Tarpaulins are excellent enough for making temporary shelters against heat in warmer climates. Well, in case of emergency or survival scenario, no one usually knows what type of untidy items to be used to get rid of something happens unexpectedly. However, tarps are the best option to be in possession while traveling for camping outside the city.
Having no purpose of the clear benefits to be explained, I am just focusing on those uses of tarps that are of the most importance. While having traps during journey, camping in the woods or walkout to the country side, it can be used for safety from rain, protection from warmth and even the colour of trap can get attention of viewers if one get lost. It also has the ability to be compressed down into a small package while traveling.
Here I am presenting some of the extra uses that tarpaulin manufacturers might also not know.
Harvesting Rain Water:
In most cases, especially during out of the population for camping and travelling purpose, there happens shortage of water. Sometime while living in a perfect sheltered home, water shortage usually happen. While having tarp in your possession, you don’t need anything else. Tie all the corners of the trap above ground with one side in a sloping position. Put a container beneath a suitable position and collect every drop of rain. This way you will get plenty amount of water in its purest form.
Carry Wood:
It’s not been the reason of camping to stay there without burning any fire. With plenty amount of dry wood, one can keep his fire burning for longer, can heat himself and his family, can cook and even can give signal for rescue. For woods to be collected, carrying more than a few branches can be a challenge.
Having a trap, one can collect as much wood as he find, and drop them all to the fireplace at once.
Shelter:
A piece of tarp and a bit of cords can help a lot in making a temporary shelter to be protected against elements and retaining some heat. However, plastic tarps for using as a shelter are least breath friendly as compare to fabric tents, so leaving an opening in the shelter to let fresh air in is the best practice.
Stretcher for Injured Ones:
While having journey in the woods or to the countryside, injury might happen to one of the group member. There is no need for waiting until the rescue team arrive and do the trick. If there is a tarp on hand, use it to do the trick yourself. Two wood branches and the tarp itself is a perfect stretcher for an injured fellow to rescue him.
Tow Strap for Vehicle:
If one got trouble in letting his vehicle out of ditch or snow bank, he can twist the tarp tight and put a knot on each end of it. This is a perfect emergency tow strap for your vehicle to be full away using another vehicle. However, used once in situation like this, the tarp might not work anymore as getting the sides knots out may not be possible at all.
Tarpaulin manufacturers are offering this perfect solution for multiple uses that is dirt-cheap but its benefits are too many. One can find out 100+ reasons of using tarps in situations like mention above. However, every emergency situation depends upon the situation, location and things in possession. Because several of its uses I have mentioned here will be something like funny to be applied in situation when one can find other perfect solutions on place of those.
The situation of displaced people cannot be explained in its true sense. Just think what if somebody takes away the ground under your feet. The snapshots of the ground realities gives a different picture. Each catastrophe is different in extent and scope and the products to be provisioned has to adhere to the special requirements. First things first; the rescue operators have to save precious human lives. Next people want food and water to survive.
