[Monty Tam]

"how bad of an idea is it to attempt a thru-hike without a 
> shelter? " 

If your objective is pain and or death it may be a good one.

At least a small tarp if you know how to use it very well.

Mosquitos???????????? Independence to Sonora Pass were hell.
Oregon summer also.  At least a bug net AND deet for those and similar
areas.
