Curious about your thoughts on just carrying something like a xmid 1 fly and 4 stakes vs a tarp if your carrying poles.
Seems like a viable option and quick to setup.

...Between the Colorado hiker thread, and the fire in the rain thread, I think this is a good time to talk about what happened to me(45) and my Dad (70) this year on a hunt, and what I learned from it.
I'll try to keep it very short and concise.
I have a 12x12 for camp. And I carry a 10x10 with me most of the time. It is prerigged for the center ridgeline configuration that the original poster used. It is a critical piece of survival gear.So you think 10x10 is ideal emergency tarp sizing?
Really looking hard into an emergency shelter, also looking at some poncho options?

				JMO... i disagree. Scrambling around trying to find, carry, and process firewood sounds miserable. And then it takes a very large amount of wood to get "a roaring fire". And then it just warms the front of you.First line of shelter starts with clothing. Rain gear/poncho, hooded puffy, watchcap and etc.
If you have a tarp you can keep a fire going under it and if you have rain gear you can collect wood without getting soaked. A roaring fire is warmer than 'the rewarming drill'. JMO-YMMV.
Something to consider.

Deer camp 2025.
Sacrifices were made.
Edit to add, the drive over bruised the Riesling almost to the point of undrinkability.
