<h1>Garlic Camp Tarp Rigging Guide</h1>
<p>New for 2023, Garlic Cave Camp is "practical" (Ben Chaddock, 2023).</p>
<p>This guide was written by Joe Stell in 2023 (week 5) with much help from Jono Lester, and as Garlic Camp is still very much a work in progress, feel free to experiment with tarp setups and update this guide should you find an improvement - make sure to credit yourself!</p>
<h2>Directions, Terminology and Pre-amble</h2>
<p>Anytime I give directions, it is either from a plan view perspective with the entrance of the cave at the bottom, as shown in the diagram below, or just a view from the entrance (generally, from the entrance)</p>
<b>[Diagram to be inserted]</b>
<p>This diagram should give an overall sense of how it was rigged as of week 5 of the 2023 expo - it is a terribly drawn diagram on my phone, and is too shoddy and cluttered to be of much use for rigging, so I will probably attempt to draw a better one.</p>
<p>Three tarps were set up this year - two at first, but with a third added later (by myself and Adam A.) to stop the incessant drip next to the kitchen. I will refer to these in size order, with tarp 1 being the largest, tarp 3 being the smallest etc., as seen in the diagram above. There does seem to be a fourth, even smaller tarp, but we didn't rig this - for years with poor rainfall, this could be rigged underneath the strong drip at the very far top/back of the cave to provide more rainwater.</p>

<li><a href=#tarp3>Tarp 3: Kitchen Area</a></li>

</ul>
<p>In addition to this tarp rigging guide, I've added a little information about the areas in Garlic and their uses - the stonework in Garlic is, like the tarps, a work in progress; again, do improve on it, update this guide and credit yourself.
<h2 id=tarp1>Tarp 1</h2>
<p>Tarp 1, the biggest, is rigged over the main sleeping area, right at the front right of the camp</p>
<b>[Diagram and images to be inserted]</b>
<p>Firstly, this tarp is so large its difficult at full size for many reasons, one being the snow, and so it is folded in half - making use of the other half of the tarp is far too much faff for this year, but definitely something that could be thought about for the future; at the moment, however, folding seems to be working perfectly fine.</p>
<p>The tarp is set up such that it is actually resting on 5 ropes, with only the corners fastened, via putting a rock on the underside of the tarp, and tying a string around it - from others' experience this improves the lifespan of the tarp as the eyelets apparently will just rip over time, though I personally have insufficient life experience to have much input here.</p>
<p>The ridge rope is rigged between two bolted anchors in the ceiling - this rope serves an important structural purpose, so should likely be at least taut, if not tight.</p>
<p>The remaining ropes essentially serve as secondary ropes to help add structure to the tarp, stop it flapping about in a breeze, and also act as drying lines.</p>
<p>I personally believe that <b>the supporting lines should be rigged first, before the corners are fastened.</b> This is the way that top camp is rigged, and although I was not there for actually rigging this tarp, it makes sense to me.</p>
