I'll be honest, I'm a pansy when it comes to shelters.  I like a tent with a floor and bug screen and gladly carry the extra pound or two.  I admire tarp guys and hammock guys but I've tried both and just like a good quality tent.
:yeah: all the way!

not exactly UL...  But we built a tarp wall tent last year.  We were a little short on Tarps so not exactly wind proof!

We did a pack in trip on horses to the OP last October and wanted to save weight on the common area.

We called it the DAZ...  Dosewallips Autonomous Zone.

Its a nice tarp tent but I don't see any animals hanging
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

yeah - we did not connect with animals.  Fun trip anyway!  As fun a a week in October in a temperate rainforest can be anyway!
