[at-l] Tarp/Tent

> I am considering using a tarp with a plastic ground cloth instead of my
> tent in spring, summer, and fall. Is there any advantage to the
"parabolic"
> design over the square or rectangle design. I backpack with two boys, 9
and
> 11. What size would be most appropriate? Also, since most of our hiking is
> in the southeast does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the
> mosquitos and other iritating insects out of the tarp/tent.
> Thanks.
