Tarp camping is a lost art. The advent of lightweight tents in the 1960s pretty much ruined it for the next few generations. This rig restores the style at a ridiculously light weight. A 4.4 oz tarp and 4.0 oz breathable bivy sack, combined with an ounce and a half of titanium tent stakes and Spectra guylines means that you get plenty of storm protection at a weight less than the nylon footprint of most three season tents.
