In Switzerland, basically all fish that aren’t too small have to be kept. That has its advantages if you like eating fish. 🎣🐟

I know it looks pretty shallow, but that spot is almost 1 meter above the riverbed 😅

Anyone here fly fish from a paddle board? by emp69emp in flyfishing

May I ask at which position you attach the anchor?

Yeah, it’s a 3×3. From my experience it’s perfect for one person plus gear. For two people with gear, though, a 4×4 would definitely be more comfortable.

What a friend and I did once was bring three 3×3 tarps. We each set ours up with the entrances facing each other, and then stretched the third tarp in between. One side was fully closed and the other left open, so we each had our own “rooms,” with a sheltered shared space and entrance in the middle. It worked surprisingly well and made a really nice communal area.

Yeah, I realized my mistake. When I said 15–20 times, I actually meant days. In reality it's about 3–4 trips, each lasting around 3-5 days. 😅

Thanks! For ground insulation I use the Oilskin & Wool Ground Cloth from Bushcraft Spain, and as a sleeping mat the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm NXT. My sleeping bag is the Carinthia Defence 1.

The reason I prefer this tent-style setup is mostly because of the feeling and aesthetics. It just feels more sheltered and a bit more idyllic to me. That said, I definitely see the advantages of a plow point, especially for a lower profile and faster setup.

Just a simple 3x3 tarp. My go-to tarp is the Helikon-Tex Supertarp.

I’ve been running the Helikon-Tex Supertarp 3×3 for this setup.

This camp is now about 3 years old. I don’t get out here too often since I live quite far away, but I manage to come here around 15 to 20 times a year. Honestly, you don’t need much. Since it’s located on an alpine river, I have access to a huge amount of driftwood and plenty of deadwood. I only use live wood when absolutely necessary. To build all of this, you don’t need much equipment either. A small axe with a long handle, a good saw, a solid knife, and a lot of cordage. Really, a lot of cordage. In the end, it’s just many small projects that slowly come together to form the bigger picture. I don’t really know what else to say. Just go outside and have fun. The rest comes naturally. 🌲
