Thanks Doug.
As for sleeping arrangements, in the summer I just use mosquito netting hung from poles, tree or bush if I'm camping along sandbars. If I'm in the woods I use a hammock. In both cases I have a waterproof silnylon tarp ready to trough over my setup if it looks like rain. In Texas summers you need all the ventilation you can get and so these systems work great. I've been eyeballing
this thing but right now my system works well enough.
In colder (Texas) weather I use a
Eureka Solitare Solo bivy. It's very sweet.
