Thanks chaos but a tent is needed. Tarps don't keep bugs out and at least one night will be spent in a tent City. Those places are infested and roaches are the lest offensive of the vermin. I may be forced to take my old bivy at this point. Thank you again for the link.

You might investigate bug repellants if roaches, etc. are an issue. That would be the case with whatever you wind up using.

Indeed. Got a tetanus booster too. I'm going to go to Walmart today and see what they have. I got lucky lady time and found three buckets of augason farms on the clearance cart. So miracles do happen.
