Conventional tarps work pretty well in the woods, but on exposed hills they can be miserable. But before you buy your tent consider a shaped tarp. The MLD TrailStar is popular in Scotland - light, spacious and performs better than many 5 season tents in the wind provided you have 10 good peg placements. I'm a happy user. Veteran long distance walker and gear reviewer Chris Townsend chooses the TrailStar as the ideal shelter for windy conditions. Others use the MLD DuoMid. You need some kind of bivy or nest during bug season. | |

You need to set up your tarp in an area where the ground can only get wet from the water that is falling, and not somewhere water can flow or accumulate. If the water is going to flow away from where you're sitting, then as long as there isn't a brutal wind, you could stay dry under a tarp in virtually any configuration. | |
