High,
As far as shelter goes, I did a poll about it - and lots of other questions.
You can see the results here:
http://planyourhike.com/polls/
The poll about shelter is at the bottom of the page.
Most people (62%) use light tents. 33% use tarps. 0 out of 110 thruhikers
polled used a bivy (but I know *some* people use them. They are few and far
between). 2% use a hammock (probably people who picked up the habit on the
AT). 4% said "other", and I wonder what they used.
But hey, just because few people use a bivy doesn't mean you shouldn't use
one. Hike your own hike, have fun, and decide for yourself.
Hope it helps,
Austin
