[pct-l] Six Moon Wild Oasis?

[Judith G]

Deems, I was intrigued by the Wild Oasis!  Thanks for pointing me in  
that direction to take a look.  I like the bug netting "skirt" which  
gives you the simplicity of a lightweight shelter that also keeps out  
the mossies!

My main concern with this system is that you have to close up the  
shelter just to "complete" the netting skirt and keep out the  
mosquitoes, when the weather might otherwise be fine and you'd want  
to keep the door open for ventilation and stargazing.

Currently, when I hike solo I use an 8-ounce SpinnShelter from  
Gossamer Gear which has no bug netting, so I will be using Brett  
Tucker's (www.simblissity.net) "Inner Peace", which he describes as a  
"4-ounce bug free haven" which can be used suspended inside a tarp- 
type shelter like mine, or outside the shelter all by itself using a  
trekking pole for suspension.  The SpinnShelter and "Inner Peace"  
together add up to 12 ounces, give or take a few, and provides me  
with options ... in good weather, I always cowboy camp, and if there  
are mossies I only need the bug haven.  In rainy weather, or where I  
want privacy, I can use the bug haven inside the shelter if there are  
mossies and still have plenty of ventilation.  Since I cowboy camp  
most of the time, I don't want to carry a heavier shelter because I  
won't be using it very much.

I am looking forward to hearing what others have to say about the  
Wild Oasis.
