While I am a big fan of my Kelty 4-season tent, which has lasted me a lifetime of mountaineering and outdoor activities, which I got from the Broomfield Colorado based camping gear brand Kelty, sometimes you just want a quick rainfly and hammock to get you off the ground. I usually prefer a bivouac for those kinds of situations, a memory reminiscent of my climbing days I guess, as it is lighter faster and better, but sometimes a hammock is the preferred method to keep off the ground and dry, especially in warm and humid summer months in more southern states.
