Has anyone pitched a Warbonett Superfly or Simply Light Designs Winter Haven (or similar) as a tarp tent with trekking poles at each end? This would be for a ground sleeping shelter. I was looking at ultralight tents that would cost me $300 and then this thought crossed my mind. I mean how often would a hammock camper go to ground anyways! Figured I could build a tyvek ground cloth for cheap, which I could use while hammock camping as well. That would be a pretty minimal investment for the one trip I can't hang. I am going to scrub country in Southern Colorado in late April to wet my backpacking whistle for the year. I do hate creepy crawly critters though... That being said I was all worried about snakes, scorpions, and spiders when I went to Canyonlands, and I don't think I saw a single one. Thanks All.
