Hi! I hiking Davenport Gap, TN to Hot Springs in 3 days in early June. Assuming the forecast is no rain, can I use a tarp instead of an enclosed tent? I know the temp will be ok (I checked) but what about bugs in that area of the AT? Are there any factors that should cause me to use a tent over a 3 sided, floorless tarp? Im a beginner so please, respectful, informative answers only.
Thank you!
Eric
