I like the looks of Tarptent, because it's lightweight and is an actual tent, with protection from bugs and the elements.[ quote]
I haven't walked the camino yet, but in any case if I'm going to get a tent, it will be for use other than just the camino.Have you camped on the Camino where "bugs and elements" were so bad as to require a full tent?
Does the tent not come with seams already sealed? Seems like that's something that should be included. What do you use to seal them?
I'm not interested in a tent for the Camino, but I am for other hiking. I have a question: doesn't your gear get wet if it is left in a vestibule that has no groundsheet and the side does not come right down to the ground? I'm thinking the 3man tent would be good to take for two people plus their packs, and then you could still cook in the vestibule if it were raining. It weighs hardly any more than some of the 2man options.
I'm curious to know what hammock you are using. At least I assume it's a hammock since you referred to yourself as a "hanger".Tyvek works fine for ground covers if you can find a small piece. I use a thin sheet of plastic I picked up at The Dollar Tree. I use it under my hammock to put my pack. With my ground setup, I never put anything like that in my vestibule. It always stays dry, even in Oregon rain.
I use a heavy weight trash can liner inside my pack to keep my things dry and sometimes leave my pack up against a tree or on the ground. I'm concerned about the contents of the pack rather than the pack itself.I'm not interested in a tent for the Camino, but I am for other hiking.

I have the Nemo Obi 1 Elite that I was able to obtain for super cheap, cheap, cheap.... I'm trying to decide if I want to use that or a tarp on my next walk...Light, but not cheap! Use your trekking poles.
