I have carried for a while now a poncho that doubles as a tarp. I don't use as primary part of my shelter for exactly that reason, but I have used it to supplement my existing tarp when I wanted a little extra rain/wind block. But, yeah, once you do that, you're stuck under the shelter if you want to stay dry.
