I'm going camping in the PNW sometime in the summer, I expect to be rained out for at least 2 of the 5 days we are there (Cape Scott). Anyone have advice on tarp shelters? I'm bringing along 2 tarps (12x10 and a smaller one) and I figured I could use the smaller as a ground floor and possibly forgo a tent all together. My main concerns are that some sites will involve me setting up shelter on sand and beach and I'd have to deal with wind and possibly horizontal rain. Moreover, having never camped out in bear, cougar and wolf country I'm kind of spooked by the idea of them coming by at night out of curiosity and maybe trying to eat me because of the opening at the front
