>>840274Yes. I use an Auscam Hoochie instead of a tent. I used to carry a tent but I got sick of how bulky it was, and how it was a pain in the arse to set up.
I had a look around and the only tents that I saw that really fit the bill were stupidly expensive ($500 for a piece of nylon and some poles? Get fucked.)
I saw how uncle ray used a hoochie above his hammock and I thought I'd try it out.
I'm still trialling it but it's stood up so far to wind and rain. It's not that much different to a tent except you can set it up in a shitload of different ways depending on a number of conditions.
For a basic enclosed tent see pic related.
Red = run the ridgeline through these loops
Blue = tie these loops separately to the ridgeline using a tension knot to keep everything taut
Orange = fold underneath to create closeable flaps
Green = clip / tie these together underneath to create the floor.
Aussie hoochies have snaps as well as loops so you can connect them to other hoochies, or make it into a bivy bag.
