In anticipation, have acquired a 3m x 3m tarp, hammock, and one man bivy tent with fly. All lightweight equipment. Stakes are plastic for ground, and metal "fish hook" for decks and fences. I will eventually make my own myomar bed roll. Hoping it is a versatile, light system.
dont forget that a good shelter isn’t just protection against the rain, it should also keep bugs at bay, they can be far worse than rain.
