Tents are useful if you're expecting terrible weather or heinous mosquitoes, but the Snow Peak Penta Air Tarp's way better if you're traveling light and don't plan on running into monstrous storms. First of all, it weighs just 15oz, and secondly, it includes all the guy-wires and stakes you need to set up in a jiffy. You can also pick up the specially designed Penta Air pole for easy setup, or just use a stick or trekking pole to fine tune your shelter to suit your needs. Either way, the silicon-coated 20D polyester ripstop will keep you dry and safe while hardly adding to your load.
