Find a suitable and very light shelter--a tarp even...
Agreed, but in warm weather in SC, the OP is definitely going to want some bug protection too, whether it be a fully enclosed tent or a bug net to hang under a tarp.
For sure. Even in the Sierra, early season trips can feature clouds of mosquitoes and blackflies, so tarp shelters have to be backed up with some kind of bug protection. Once it dries out it can generally be left home, although you still have to watch for the carpenter ants.
