Can you wild camp without a tent?

Instead of a tent, you could construct a tarp shelter – either a big one with full coverage on both sides or a minimalist tarp that covers just one side. It should keep you dry and offer some privacy too. Whether you are using a tent or not, a ground tarp is recommended.
