Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Thoughts on floorless shelters

bugs have not been a problem in 3 Alaska trips. 2 trips to the boundry waters were so so for the skeeters. a bug coil killed em all. rarely do the flying critters get in and when they do the go the to top.

now i will add that i worry about the chiggers here. i take a large tarp for a floor in warm weather here. but we have not had a problem with them.

if you get a liner for the tipi condensation will not be a problem. i have liners for both of my tipis but rarely take them.

i have never had a water issue because of the lack of a floor. even with a floor water can be a problem. it is very handy to just track in snow or mud and not worry about it accumulating on the floor.
