Dawn Tarp | Medium

From dusk till dawn

Sometimes, simple really is beautiful. Tarp camping is a lightweight and flexible way to sleep, and offers a totally different experience to being in a tent. With eight attachment points, the HEIMPLANET tarp gives you the freedom to configure it in many different ways depending on the weather and your own personal preferences. You could use poles and pegs, or just attach it to the trees. Apart from that, the really neat thing about HEIMPLANETs tarps is the daisy-chain of cord loops that runs right round the edge. Not only does this give you loads of possibilities for attaching gear or extra lines, but it also means you can use it to add a huge porch to one of their inflatable tents by strapping the edge of the tarp to the airbeams. This medium-sized tarp is actually the smallest one they do perfect for gram-conscious lightweighters

• Weve all been there trying to pitch a tent at the end of a long day when the rains lashing down and youre dead on your feet. For the team at HEIMPLANET, their particular low point came during a surf trip on the Portuguese coast in 2003. As they struggled to get their tent up in the dark and the wet, they began to wonder if there might be a better way.

  Eight years later, this Hamburg-based outdoor gear brand launched their first quick-pitch inflatable tent. Theyve since followed it up with several more models and a rapidly expanding line of bags, accessories and clothing. Their gear has a distinctively streamlined, almost sci-fi design its genuinely adventure-ready kit that looks smart enough for the city.

  But its in their eco-credentials that these guys really shine. Not only are they fully paid-up members of 1% For The Planet, but you wont find anyone out there with more exacting sustainability standards. Concerned that many recycled fabrics on the market werent as green or as durable as they could be, HEIMPLANET set about developing their own low-impact Dyecoshell material. Their kit is so tough that they offer lifetime repair support, and if you do manage to wear it out then theyll give you a partial refund if you send it back to them to be recycled into new products.
