[pct-l] Mojitos

[Ellen Shopes]

Big Sky Evolution 2P tent did a great job keeping the mojitos at bay during 
the July hatch in the Sierras last year.  Weights are comparable to the tarp 
tents.

"How's Your Trail?"  Check out Henry Shires, Tarp Tent the ultra light 1lb I
have it and it's GREAT right about $200.00 If I remember correctly. Remember

If you dislike mosquitoes,
Add Black Diamond Beta Bug. (140$, 1.9lbs)
This is the most simple way.

Or
if you have enough money and dislike weight,
find lighter tents.

for ex.
Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2, weight 2lb 10oz $349.95

I am considering to buy this tent, because I may revisit JMT this
summer as a guide (or Sherpa) of my wife.
