Woodcraft..great book it's in the bookcase a arms reach away.
i don't want to get on and on about tents and tarps but i think the term "properly set up" is the tricky one here.
i have set up a one man tent where the working floor space was not much bigger than my air mat and sleeping bag.wedged in between trees or with rocks or downed trees and brush the tent gave me fast all around shelter.to get a tarp up properly,and i have done it,means finding trees or whatever to run lines out to and tie off.wind is a major factor and the brush,rocks--whatever--could mean taking time to clear a spot for floor space to get the door down wind while a tent is up and thats that.
it also depends where your using it,part of the country your in i mean
in the north woods the bugs will eat you alive while maybe other places they are not so bad,weather is another factor of course.nice summer nights or damp cold rain coming in off Lake Superior.
i think we all know what works best for each of us and i don't think you could have a post about the best tooth brush without it running down the page----cut the handle down or not???---
