Re: [Paddlewise] tent v. bivy bag

I use a tent most of the time, whether kayaking or backpacking, simply
because I hate mosquitos.  I know hate is a strong word, and I hate very
few things, but mosquitos are definitely one of them!!

I like bivy bags for winter camping in snow caves.

I'm thinking of adding a tarp to my system for hanging out when it's
raining, rather than being cooped up in a tent or sitting around in
clammy raingear.
