Best Screen Tent To Keep The Bugs Out.

I thought I'd write an experience on what a screen tent meant to us,while camping for many years on the Minnesota/Canadian Border.

We loved camping,and the adventure of portaging in to lakes,and spending every second of our vacation times camping in the capital of bug country.From 20 years old on,till my 30's,I camped my butt off.

As with all campers,we learn by trial and error over the years,and upgrade a piece of our camping equipment to make the time off we have spending in the woods,all that much more comfortable.

I suppose it started with upgrading our cooking stove,which was an affordable upgrade,plus food makes,or breaks a trip.I hope none of you had trips like some of mine in my younger days.We'd bring more beer,and fishing bait that subtance to keep us going.

That didn't last long,after that we made sure we had ample food supply,and good stoves and the cook ware to prepare our dinners.

The other thing that hurt us,was the rain,and the pain in the butt of having to bring tarps,to make sure our tents stayed rain proff in the hard rains.

Then we upgraded tents,and went with Eureka.Boy,that was the smartest choice we ever made when it came to discovering the best camping tents that exist.

One discovery we had,was when it came to cooking.You could never count on the weather being generous to allow you to cook outdoors on the camping stoves when every you please.In other words the wind,and the rain could really hamper a guy with a propane stove cooking,with the wind blowing the flame out,or just blowing the heat right out from under our frying pans.

In some cases,worse than that,was the bugs,and biting insects,flies,hornets,and every other dam bug wanting to linger around the cook stove while a person is preparing dinner.

Then one of us in the gang,decided to buy a Eureka Screen Tent.

He bought it,for the sake when he cleaned fish,het despised the horse & deer flies annoying him,the mosquitoes,and every other type of bug.The noseeums,if that is spelled right made cleaning fish a horror.

Having the best screen tent to keep the bugs out while camping cleaning fish,also came in very handy for cooking in,and preparing meals,and a base retreat tent when the rain came.

Most all the Eureka Screen Tents have a rain flap,or a fabric flap that you can attach a rain tarp to,by using heavy duty meatal camping clips,and attaching a rain tarp AROUND THE SCREEN NETTING...Making it a wall tent.

So even if the rain was coming down side ways,if the screen tent was secured good,in other words staked in good,and a rope  attached to a pole,that was tied to a tree..Really secure that baby when setting up,like preparing for a tornado.You can cook in that baby,and have a hell of a base camp tent for your whole group to associate in in the most worse of weather.If secured good enough,you can laugh at any severe Thunderstorm with the lantern shining bright,stove cooking your grub,and a beer in your hand.

Sometimes it's not the weather.

The bugs can ruin a camping trip at night.

The mosquitoes have been so bad at times for us out in the bush,that we have had to soak ourself in repellent to enjoy the nightlife of camping.

A still humid,windless night.The bugs can destroy a camp out.

It wasn't long after,that our nightlife camping has been taking advantage of a screen tent that keeps the bugs out.

It protects us from the weather,wind,and rain.Many times we tarp a couple sides of the screen tent,just for wind blockage while we cook inside bug free.

We used our screen tent for bathing,cooking,conversating in,eating in,a shelter to avoid the extremes that come up while out in the outdoors.

We have even used our screen tent for winter camping,by tarping it off the sides.

Good Stove

Cooler

Good Sleeping Tent

Bags/or Blankets

And a dam good screen tent to keep the bugs out,and a screen tent for cooking in,and a screen tent as a base tent for all to use in the rainy,and crappy weather retreat that can always arise on a camping trip.

Having a good screen tent makes a bugproof camping trip in more ways than one.It's like bringing a kitchen,and the living room along on a camping trip.

Go with a Eureka Screen Tent.It will be the last one you buy.

I bought my Eureka Screen Tent 20 years ago,and still using it today.Yea,I've had to do some screen repair due to my own faults,and a need and thread do the job.The fabric,and poles,and the screen mesh is still doing the job today..

So what is the best screen tent?

It's a Eureka!!
