This is a pretty basic tarp that’s big enough to comfortably cover 2 people + gear (but not bikes).

We used it for a 4 month singletrack bikepacking trip where weight needed to be kept to a minimum. There were nights it would have been nice to have a tent in order to reduce mosquito annoyance. But bugs do tend to go to sleep once it gets cold enough.

Most nights we just used it as a ground sheet and didn’t bother to set it up. Helps if you have trees around to really pitch it strong enough against a big storm.

Oh, you need some short guy lines to tie it, too. Still adds up to less than even the lightest cuben fiber tents, esp for 2 people. Rolls up and fits nicely next to a handlebar bag, sweet roll, etc.

I’d highly recommend it, and the general concept of tarp camping over a heavier tent.
