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> +<ul> +<li><a href=#tarp1>Tarp 1: Sleeping Area</a></li> +<li><a href=#tarp2>Tarp 2: Water collection</a></li> +<li><a href=#tarp3>Tarp 3: Kitchen Area</a></li> +<li><a href=#water>Water funnels</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> + +<h2 id=tarp2> Tarp 2</h2> + +</body> +</html></body></html>
