All this sounds great, but I just sleep better in a tent. After being outside in the wind and sun all day, retreating into the tent is my little luxury.
Different strokes for different folks.

It's what you enjoy.
This time of year when go with wife I bring 2 person tent and we set it up for naptime around noon
and have breffy and din din in it. It's worth it's weight in gold. I know for certain we would have
both bailed on this last 6 day trip we took together last weekend if I hadn't carried the tent.
(she hammocks it). The mosquitos were absolutlely brutal. I knew The Emigrant blew w/r
to all the little pondlettes... but didn't think it would be THAT bad. Can't recall ever having to
hike so long and so far with headnets.
Even atop Bigelow Peak it was a downer b/c we just climbed up from Twin and were gonna
enjoy a snack and the view and it was just not possible.
Of course it's always "location location location" .. ran into the only person we saw for 3 days
at Bigelow Lake... a "I don't ever take a tent" guy .. pretty much told him "that's nice ...
yeah I have one of those little bitty mesh head domey things too... but you'd be crying if
you would have camped down at Upper Twin... we'll enjoy dinner in the tent

"
(you know you got bad mosquitos when 20 decide they want to have din din with you
and come on in)
Ran into so many peeps on way out thinking gonna be no mosquitos... and also a nice
couple with their kids at Woods Lake who thought the same and said "August or later
from now on" .
Anywho. Tent or no tent.... have fun
