Tarp 4

Shelter for the whole camp There’s a reason so many campers pack a tarp: you can sleep under it, cook under it and while away an evening chatting under it, and the Tarp 4 from Tatonka gives you room to do all three at once. It doubles as a windbreak or rain shelter and will work as a poncho in a pinch, yet it still packs down flat and light, with fourteen fixing loops and corner eyelets for tarp poles so you can rig it to suit whatever the pitch throws at you.

Born in Bavaria in 1980, the brand has been crafting top kit for the biggest adventures for over 40 years – and they’ve long been a pioneer of aggressive accountability, long before sustainability was cool. Take their factories in Vietnam, for example, which open their doors to visitors once a week so anyone can walk the floor and see for themselves how the gear is made and how the workers are treated. Independently certified to a global social standard and checked twice a year, Tatonka’s is a rare level of openness in the outdoor industry, and it means you can trust that your gear’s not just well-made, but made well. And don’t worry: Tatonka’s commitment to doing things properly doesn’t stop at the factory door. You’ll feel it in the robust details and polished finishes of their tents, bags and accessories, the kind you’d expect from German design. After all, creating kit that can reliably see you from one adventure to the next is the biggest commitment to sustainability a brand can make.
