Thread: My $3.95 bra

I know many people who have used a tarp as you have for water crossings. I'm sure it will work. And just as importantly - it was cheap

You may want to beef up some of your straps and fixings. In a water crossing, there is a lot of pressure generated, you might lose your bargain bra if you're not careful.

The side pocket of the door may be OK when the tarp is dry, but not when it all wet and muddy after use. May need to find a better storage place.
Otherwise - looks great

Ops! I should pack it in a nice large plastic bag then.

Yeah extra attachments sounds like a good idea - you wouldn't want the tarp to end up under the front wheels in the middle of a crossing.

Good on ya Vesko, I think far too many people get sucked in to buying all the "must have/ necessary" accessories by the aftermarket industry that is probably larger than the car manufacturing side of things. cheaper and takes up less space.

^^^ what they said

Where you attach the tarp at the top, maybe put the fold under rather than over the main bit of the trap, otherwise it looks like it may catch water and that usually doesn't end well

best storage space for it is inside the spare tyre.

I used the same bra for my last cape trip...

Ignore the people who say it will come out muddy. If its muddy when you come out once youve stopped to untarp simply walk the few meters back down to the crossing and wash it out., Typically my tarp was cleaner after a crossing than before.
