My Locale Maroon Bells
About Me I was more of a BWCA guy but am getting into
backpacking because my wife loves it so much and
then we can do more together. On the sunset side
of 60. In 2008 and 2009 I spent more time backpacking than canoeing.

Re: Re: Stephenson Tents in BWCA
June, July and August. There were plenty of bugs but I never had a problem with them in the tent. My wife backpacks frequently on the Superior hiking trail and finds the tent bugproof also.
