@Arizona How do you mitigate the bugs? I'm thinking of trying a head-net because most of the mosquito pressure is in the evening before bed. They tend to stop flying when it gets cold. I sometimes just unzip the netting while I sleep now. Just not sure if I'll be able to get used to wearing the net.

Also, I've heard you can use a UV light to light up scorpions. Have you tried that? I don't have a scorpion to try it out on, but I can attest that it works on cat pee. :-/

As usual, it sounds like I'm overthinking things and I just need to discover the little pros/cons of a chair kit and ground sheet. I'm imagining being able to hang out and watch satellites cross the sky and reading after my hiking partner goes to sleep (he starts yawning at dusk). Maybe even accidentally cowboy camping if I'm cozy enough.
