i definantly agree with a quick shelter, and its for this reason that i modified my tarp to make it fully "stormproof" (i havnt used it in a storm ;O). i attached 3 elastic cord loops near the midle of the tarp, tied on some nylon cord and then rig it up as normal. the middle loops can be strung betweew higher branches to make sure the tarp doesn't flap in high wind.<br><br>true, it isn't a "pocket shelter", but its ligher than a tent, and more versitile than a bivy, and it also weighs the same. its just an idea...
