I really can't help you on the cuben thing. ...
Actually, even that is questionable. I hiked the first 700 miles (to Kennedy Meadows) with just a poncho as both rain gear and shelter...


The lateral space was the issue. Just wanted a bit more breathing space. I definitely looked long and hard at the solong, but am having trouble justifying the weight.

I'm actually on the verge of deciding to just become proficient at pitching a tarp now. I figure that's the most bad ass type of shelter anyway right? and I do have months to learn how to pitch it.
