Thanks, I think if the stock tarp keeps you dry in tough storms, I'll go with it. As for the bottom entry vs. side entry, it seemed to me that the bottom entry was way cooler than the side, but that the side was simply more practical. Also, it seemed that with the bottom, your feet could slip out. Is that an irrational fear?
As for me, I'll hike in most weather and just throw a pack cover over my bag. I dry a lot easier than my gear, so I don't mind getting wet. What I HATE is trying to sleep in a tent that's wet, as my sleeping bag gets wet. I can only imagine that a hammock would be worse, as there would not be a dry side to move over too.
