Oh, no!  I just saw my first mosquito of the season! Here it comes again – the time for that annoying whining to fill the air. The bane of our hiking and camping trips! What’s a die-hard outdoors person to do? Well, let me tell you what we’re going to do.  We’re going to get us a big old (new, really) bug tent. The tent we have in mind will be great for camping or hiking. For all of our overnight trips, this REI Bug Hut 2 Tent offers great night relief from flying insects, even those horrid no-see-ums. This will certainly be a necessary piece of our hiking camping gear because we’re avid campers and believe whole heartedly in “minimal gear” backpacking when we go hiking and this bug tent is ultra light. All we have to do is set up a tarp over it and, presto, a perfect bugless shelter. It has a coated nylon taffeta floor, large entrance and it’s design is taut and sturdy. Furthermore, only two equal-length aluminum poles with sleeves, and four stakes, are needed for putting it up in an insect-induced feverish hurry. What more could anyone want – quick and easy to put up and no-see-um proof? Bring it on you pesky mosquitoes and you irritating no-see-ums.  We’ll be ready for you with our fabulous REI Bug Hut 2 Tent.
