Are you riding or hiking?
I'm just thinking about bivvying vs tarps vs tents and still don't really get it.
Bivvy is faster and stealthier but you need to find some other cover if the weather is shit (or also carry a tarp).
Tents are better for shelter but heavier and least stealthy.
Tarps are lighter (lightest?) but less sheltered, less stealthy than bivvies and as slow up as tents.
Hammock can be light, (somewhat) stealthy and quick to set up, especially if you don't need the tarp up at the same time. Then again I'm gonna say always put the tarp up...
I didn't even get into hammocks because they're useless without trees and I can fall over enough without being off the ground already :)
