My everything was sore when i got back because I'm out of shape but it was worth it. Had some oatmeal after setting everything up and enjoyed myself.

I'm telling you that a tarp is better than a "floorless tent". This dude has no floor. And literally can't set anything down without bugs crawling on it.

Like, what are you putting your sleeping bag on? The leaves? In that case, why even bring a tent? Sleep under a tree like an animal.

The reason I take a shelter camping is that it rains constantly here. I don't really care about the bugs tbh. Sounds like we just camp in different places and have different priorities

You're outdoors bugs will get anywhere they want regardless (and rodents will chew their way in if they can't find an easier way)
