Outlaw Tales of the Outdoors #6 :Rainy Camping, Part 3

It seems there are people who actually enjoy camping in the rain. (Laughs)

To be honest, I’m one of them.

The biggest challenges of rainy camping are setting up and packing up.

The first step is pitching the tarp.

Once the tarp is up, you have a sheltered space where you can stay dry and move around comfortably.

Choosing a properly sized tarp is crucial.

For rainy camping, a larger tarp is more convenient.

How quickly and efficiently you can set up the tarp in the rain is the key to a comfortable rainy camp.

The next step is setting up your tent under the tarp.

A compact dome-shaped tent is the easiest to handle.

Once the essential gear is placed under the tarp, you’re good to go.

Chairs and tables are essential for rainy camping.

When it rains, the ground gets wet.

You might think, “It’s fine under the tarp,” but in reality, water often runs in or seeps up from the ground.

That’s why low seating or floor-style setups don’t work well for rainy camping.

Clothing is another key factor.

A waterproof jacket is a must, and having a poncho as backup is also useful.

Waterproof jackets typically come with hoods, but adding a wide-brimmed waterproof hat, like a Sahara hat, makes things even more convenient.

Don’t forget about footwear.

Waterproof shoes or rain boots are ideal, but I personally rely on neoprene waterproof socks.

Pairing them with Crocs has become my go-to setup.

There’s something incredibly soothing about listening to the sound of rain while staying inside your tent or under a tarp.

It feels like creating a barrier between yourself and the outside world—a kind of personal sanctuary.

Rainy campsites tend to be quiet, with fewer people around.

That sense of solitude, the feeling of owning your own little world, is something I really enjoy.

The tarps I use most often are the DD Tarp 4×4 and the Hilleberg 10XP.

The DD Tarp is great for situations where I need a larger space.

Meanwhile, the Hilleberg 10XP is extremely versatile and can be used in almost any location.

Finally, let’s talk about packing up after a rainy camp.

Ideally, you’d wait for the rain to stop before packing up, but things don’t always go as planned. (Laughs)

I load all the gear under the tarp into my car (or sometimes my bike), leaving the tarp as the last thing to pack.

Packing often involves crouching and handling wet gear.

I pack the wet tent and tarp into dry bags.

If you don’t have a dry bag, a large garbage bag will do, though it does look a bit sad. (Laughs)

It’s worth getting a dry bag. I use a Coleman dry bag myself.

Even with all the hassle, rainy camping has its own unique charm.

It might even make you look forward to the next rainy day.

“If you can enjoy camping in the rain, you’ve earned your stripes as an outdoor enthusiast.”

…Just channeling some DOA “hero” vibes there. (Laughs)

Outlaw Tales of the Outdoors #5 : Rainy Camping, Part 2

In my previous article, I mentioned the importance of a high waterproof rating, but when camping in the rain, the shape of the tent can have just as much impact on your comfort.

It’s common sense: if a tent’s outer layer (rainfly) is shaped to let water flow off smoothly, you’ll have less to worry about regarding leaks, even if the waterproof rating isn’t exceptionally high.

The recently popular one-pole tents and canopy-style tents are prime examples of this.

These tents feature slanted sheets designed to naturally channel rainwater away, preventing it from seeping in.

These days, tarps have become a standard part of camping setups, but how you pitch them is incredibly important.

If you set up a tarp with large flat sections, rainwater will collect and increase the risk of it seeping through.

To ensure water drains efficiently, it’s crucial to create an appropriate slope when pitching your tarp.

When rain becomes heavy, water may accumulate on the roof of your tarp or tent, causing it to sag.

High-waterproof materials prevent seepage, but they can also hold more water, which increases the weight and could lead to a tarp or tent collapsing under the strain.

That’s a real danger.

I’ve learned this lesson the hard way in the past.

Since then, I’ve made it a habit to attach caps to the top of adjustable tarp poles, allowing me to push up from the inside and guide rainwater away.

Having at least one telescopic pole with adjustable length can be a lifesaver in situations like this.

In rainy camping conditions, you’ll often spend extended periods under your tarp or tent.

That’s why creating a spacious and tall area is another key to staying comfortable.

Being able to stand upright makes a world of difference.

If you’re stuck in a cramped space for hours, it can quickly become exhausting, but having a taller and more open area allows you to relax—even in the rain.

A larger space also provides more room to store your gear without getting it wet, making cooking and taking breaks much easier.

When camping in the rain, it’s not just about the design of your tent or tarp.

How you set them up and plan your time under them also requires creativity and preparation. Each small precaution you take can be the key to making the experience enjoyable.

One simple takeaway: whether in the outdoors or in life,

“Preparation is everything.”

The fire is the main comfort of camp, whether in summer or winter

[mousamous]

“Dalam kemah hujan ku bertanya, dimanakah akan ku menemukan?

lalu kau menertawakanku dengan penuh kemenangan.

kau kira aku sanggup menahan kekalahan?

nyatanya hati ini tak lagi kuat menahan beban.

maafkan.

bahwa nyatanya dirimu tak lagi jadi angan.

pergilah kenangan.

raga ini melepasmu dalam sungkan.”
