I can't believe the guys who bike tour without a tent!
When my wife and I were first getting into backpacking in the 1970s,
_the_ instructional book to read was _The Complete Walker_ by Colin
Fletcher. One of his major points was "you don't need a tent." He
advocated sleeping under the stars, or at most, a tarp.

In a subsequent edition, he realized that there are places that have
mosquitoes.

That's what I love about winter camping = no black flies or mosquitoes.
