    Some of the big box stores carry the all-encompassing bug nets for 20 or 30 dollars, not a bad option in a pinch, and cool as a Summer breeze.

    Great trip, thanks for sharing! I think the biggest death-bed regret for a lot of people is the time wasted on seeking money, the approval of strangers and status, rather than spent with loved ones...

    That desert hang is just wicked. Well done! Get a wind sock to fend off the occasional dust storm and you could do Burning Man.

    This is a very strong selling point to me, more site options and the ability to shift with the wind when desired (I can break the wind like a horse already).

    Hello Charlotte and thanks! The tarp is just a budget model I snagged off Amazon. I love it, although I think it's probably a bit heavy compared to some.
