Tarp shelters for unicycle touring

[U-Turn]

If you had a small side brace, you could use your wheel/uni for a
support to create a cone shape. For a tarp, the lower the pitch the
better rain protection.

It will take a little bit to get familiar/expert with using a tarp, but
it's very versatile; much more than a tent.

You might want to make your own tarp from silnylon, I think
www.campmor.com might have it. If you do use the uni as a support,
then making your own would allow you to tailor it for better pitching.

The cord looks great; be sure it can be melt-sealed on the ends with a
match or lighter, so when you cut it it will be well-behaved.

I camp out for about 5 months out of every year for work. I am in the
field from april to november from Northern Michigan to southern
Virginia. I occasionally use a tent in cooler weather, but vastly
prefer my hammock in warm weather, Water proof, up off the ground and
comfortable, no need for a pad, always comfortable, and around 1 kg.
hard to beat if you have trees or something to tie it to. I have been
using the same one since 2000, it is still in great shape. My sleeping
bag is a Feathered Friends Rock Wren. I can get my feet out the bottom
of the bag for mobility into and out of the hammock, and can keep it on
while making my morning tea under the hammock fly on cold mornings.
Oh, and did I mention these hammocks are inexpensive?
