Tarp setups

[ktimm]

What is your favorite tarp and tarp setup and why ?

My favorite tarp is the old seekoutside Breakaway tarp together with the optional vestibule. I always set it up as a single wall tent. Why, well in the Netherlands it's almost always very humid so setting it up this tarp in this way I don't need a bivac sac.

Only when the weather forcast gives a very dry nights I use it quite standard as a normal tarp without the vestibule. The backend of the tarp close to the ground, sides open and the opening high enough to sit comfortable under it.

It would be great to see some pictures of various tarp set up.....

This is not a tarp but a C-9 chute makes a great set up.

The last couple years I've been using a HMG Ultimid 2 and I'm really liking it. It's probably not really classified as a tarp, as far as traditional tarps go. I like that it's super lightweight, easy to set up, and does well in windy environments. I don't have any experience with traditional flat tarp spike camping, but I'm seriously considering purchasing something in cuben and playing around with it a little.
