if it is just you, it's tough to beat the hammock for true 3-season versatility (four-season if you are not going to see much snow, or willing to put up with a lot of discomfort). For 100% reliability in ALL conditions, ultra-lightweight, and blends in surprisingly well in most areas and unbelievably well in any wooded area, a Kifaru Tipi will be near impossible to beat (but very spendy). Mission drives the gear, what are you looking to do? Where are you looking to go? How will you get there? What are your resource limits?
