I use a tent most of the time, whether kayaking or backpacking, simply because I hate mosquitos. I know hate is a strong word, and I hate very few things, but mosquitos are definitely one of them!! I like bivy bags for winter camping in snow caves. I'm thinking of adding a tarp to my system for hanging out when it's raining, rather than being cooped up in a tent or sitting around in clammy raingear.
