I agree with Kerry. 

A tarp is required gear for my trips.  In fact, on some trips I pack a 10X10 to cover gear, and a 12X15 for us to sit under during inclement weather.  I bought both tarps from the BWJ store. I have no idea if they're a good deal or not, but both are lightweight and keep the rain off us and our gear.

On June trips I pack a CCS screen tent.    (You need to Login or Register

This has been one of those few "game changer" purchases, making June trips "civilized."  We cook, eat, play games, read, nap, etc, in this tarp, all the while listening to the droning of millions of mosquitos on the outside.  It makes camping pleasurable.
