On a two week Alaskan trip I used a 19 foot home built wing based on the Moss
Parawing. I use it because I dislike being enclosed in a tent and it can be
set up over small fat spots between beach log etc. Its extra work to set up
and also extra weight.  Each of the three of us had their own tarp plus an
extra cook trap. I set one end low to the ground the other supported by a
Paddle.  The sleeping bag was used in a gore-tex bivy sack. We had eight days
of rain and it is not hard to stay dry
