Tarp Camping - convince me pls
I usually go hiking and camping in northern sweden/norway, and I am very curious about tarp camping. It seems like a super nice way to shed a few grams and be closer to nature, but I feel as though something just wouldn’t let me relax. For example, I know there are no snakes (some but not near people) but i’m scared of snakes, and that there are no bears and wolves and larger animals (some but not near people), so mentally I feel like a tent is safer even though it isn’t. Any tips on how to convince a tent hiker to try tarp camping? or things you think of to make it less “scary” for lack of a better word?
For the same reasons I don’t understand how someone could do the entire PCT only sleeping in a tarp or even cowboy camping, the mental barrier between the outside and inside seems essential for me but I must be missing something:)
I can see myself trying something like the zpacks hexamid maybe but flat tarps? give me the heebijeebies.
