[pct-l] off-topic: brown recluse spiders, NOW TENTS

[david at dalbey.org (David Dalbey)]

What kind of tent?  My wife and I are planning on hiking the JMT southbound
next year and she's not real big on the tarp concept cause of bugs & I'm not
big on our current tent for 3 weeks cause I'm a little clausterphobic.
Currently we use either the Golite Cave tarp or a 1st generation Six Moons
Designs Europa which is fine for a couple three days or so.  I've heard
about Henry Shires tents and also Brawny's.  Anybody have experience /
recommendations on either of these or maybe the newer generation Europa?
I'm assuming mosquitos will be a problem in July!
