> My understanding of this tarp/tent hybrid is that while there is mesh

> way around the bottom of the mesh. Beyond the physical comfort level,
> psychological comfort for me is greatly increased when I have a unit
> with a floor that will zip closed against the creepy crawlies, and
> depending in what part of the ranch you hike, there are some dense
> populations of creepy crawlies (rattlesnakes).
