Show us your tents or shelters
There is lots of talk about our bikes and gear on here but very little pictures of our tents and/or shelters.
I'd love to see what people use on their tours to stay dry and sleep at night.
Here is my tent;
Nigor WickiUp 3 with all the guy lines attached and staked out.
Show us yours!

Here is an article (from a disaster preparation site) that shows 15 ways to make a shelter out of a tarp.

Last summer I got a new frame, and it only got out on one or two camping trips, and the bike was just cobbled together at the time. But since then I've been gathering pieces to turn it into a good bikepacking rig, plus tweak some of my camping gear. It's almost ready, and it's almost time.

I am ready although I would like to get a full frame bag soon. However I'm currently in the middle of a build and all the money gets sucked into that black hole ;-) maybe in a month.

Pretty simple.... Eno DoubleNest hammock. Pictured with the bug net on a short tour last September. Recently purchased a SingleNest to save weight. Also have rain fly and Ember 2 underquilt to go along with the 9.1 foot Atlas Straps.
Carry an Outdoor Research bivy from LL Bean as well in the event I can't hang the hammock. Haven't used it yet.

Most of the time I am in a hammock. Usually its in a thicket where a tent could not be set up, and there is no good angle to shoot it. And since I typicaly set up in the dark and am off early, its to dark.
I have one shot of the tent Ive used for years.

I actually am in the market for a new tent, depending on if I can get this one seam sealed again. All the tape is coming loose, and the last rainstorm I was in was... sort of a disaster.
Up till that time, this was a great tent. Love the short pole sections, and it once sheltered three others when their tents all went down in a wind storm on a Florida beach.

Yes. It's risky if water starts pooling up.
Driving rain ...no problem because the tarp is large enough to be pitched tent style ... It is my hammocking tarp
