10’x12’ camo tarp, 10’x8’ blue tarp, 8x improvised tent pegs from 5/16” steel carriage bolts, 6x toggle ropes, 2x adjustable hiking poles. Inexpensive, lightweight, <5 minute setup, impervious to lashing rain. Peg heads cover the grommets, doesn’t need trees, bathtub can lift to cover the entrance against horizontal rain.
Condensation will be a factor with a single surface without vents so bring a sponge or rag which is necessary camp equipment anyway.
No way to post pictures?

Hey sappermarc,
I regularly embed images in my posts and this is how I do it:
1) Place the image you want to embed on your computer desktop.
2) Create the thread and write the text you wish to post; when you're done, place your cursor at the top or bottom of your text, depending on where you wish to place the image.
3) Click on the "Add Attachment" button, then the "Add files..." button, then select the image file from your desktop.
4) Once it's added, you can see how it will look using the "Preview" tab at bottom left.
5) Adjust the spacing between the text and image if needed and then SAVE your post.
Hope this helps!
Also, I like your idea of using heavy bolts for tent stakes. but I might taper their ends using a vise and angle grinder so they're easier to drive into hard ground.
All the best, and thanks for posting such useful information!
--Jeffrey
