If the first step in bad weather is to put up your tarp/fly the rest of the 
process isn't so much of a chore. I remember racing to get my tent erected 
and the fly on before the rain soaked the tent. Yeah, I know, get a single 
wall tent. Trouble is I can't sleep worth a damn on the ground or on a 
shelter floor. Sleep is right up there in importance with food when you are 
hiking and the bottom line is, I sleep better in my hammock.
