I like to be able to look around, feel the breeze and the open air as much as possible, (those tarpless nights are the best!!) so I use a simple diamond tarp in warm temps and have a SWT for the shoulder seasons and winter. With the SWT you can certainly work with pitch to gain visibility as well, ie fold the doors in along the side panels.
It is so funny, looking back, how I thought to myself "ok, if I am going to get just one, what will it be" - and now, just one year later, 3 hammocks, 2 tarps, webbing, ring buckles, whoopie slings, two quilts - by no means a large collection, but I really thought just one good set-up is all I will need and all I will buy.
Enjoy, cause that what it is all about - and it is GOOD.
