[pct-l] Aqua Mira on airplanes

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, Bill,

It’s hard to say what -- for you -- warrants a tent.  I don’t use a tent
anywhere; I usually sleep under the stars without a shelter, and if I use my
shelter it’s without any screen.  I enjoy sleeping out and I don’t enjoy
carrying an extra 2-3 pounds of stuff.  Many people, however, always sleep
inside a fully screened tent.
