I wonder if there is new wisdom about the best adaptations to the changing needs for shelter as the seasons change?

In my neck of the woods we have probably seen the end of any heavy or sustained rain, and snow is only a consideration at relatively high altitudes. I happily leave the rain fly of my tent on the shelf for the end of Spring and for Summer.

However, I also start preparing for bug encounters and take rattlesnake precautions around any campsite, cooking area, etcetera. This means I still use the tent, with its footprint, poles, and stakes for its bug netting and physical barrier snake security.

In the Fall after the cool weather sends the bugs and snakes away, I usually transition to a light tarp and maybe a bivy for my shelter needs.

I am wondering if changing to one of the modern hammock systems should have a place in my game plan. The ability to suspend a hammock, with integral bug netting and rain fly systems, is intriguing. I notice at least one gives the option of being used as a tent or as a hammock. Would a hammock be a faster, easier, and more effective way to go?

So how do you roll on the shelter front as the seasons change?

Thoughts?

Thanks.
