I was out with my scout troop at summer camp last week. I managed to find a tent that had 2 nicely spaced trees behind it and set up my home for the week. The platform tent made a nice foyer. I placed my trekking poles on some logs for even more head room under the tarp.
The nights started out warm and cooled off a little towards the end of the week. My WL 3/4 length UQ was pushed to the side for the first half of each night and I pulled it under when I got a little chilly. The Fronkey bug net worked great. One morning I woke up to the sound of a mosquito in my ear and turned my head to find him trying in vain to get at me.
My DIY silnylon tarp worked great on the last night when it rained most of the night (I love sleeping with the patter of rain on the tarp). I had not tested it at all before this.
All in all a well rested week. I did not miss the smell of canvas and a creaking uncomfortable cot.
