Tarp
,no edit summary
Basically a tarp is a sheet of plastic, which is tossed over ridgeline, tied between two trees, walking sticks, or whatever you can find. Unlike the static tents and bivys, tarps are very flexible. Besides the multiple designs, you can decide, whether you want to use a groundsheet or carry a mosquito net.

The most basic way is the A-frame. You ridge your paracord between two trees, toss your tarp over it and stake the edges to the ground.
