If we are speaking of a "bug out situation" where one is in danger, I want no tent.
The last thing you want in the world is to fall sound asleep inside a closed shelter. It's sure death if you are found, unless you are with a group and guards are set out.
In the Army I carried a poncho and quilted liner, rolled up in them and usually leaned against a tree or down in a well dug hole to catch a few winks if it was possible on patrols.
After 30 years of civilian use I wore out the poncho and replaced it with a silon tarp.
Even backpacking I do not carry a tent, especially when in bear country. I don't want them sneaking up on me and batting me and a zipped up tent down the hill into a gully.
For general car camping they are fine, take your pick, there are hundreds of good ones out there at fair prices.
