As some of you know I wrote an article earlier about how great a screen tent is to have along while camping out in the great outdoors.
Sometimes the bugs in Ely Minnesota are so horrible,that I've had great weather only to be drowned out by misquitos,biting flies,and the occasional jack pine beatle landing on me or my food.Some of the portage trails have been the worse,or having to set up camp in a spot you would have chosen other wise.
It's usually an hour after dark the misquitos are the worse and glad I had a screen tent along on many a trips.Some trips the misquitos have been horror all night long.
So for bug protection they are like a savior when they are unusually bad.A Eureka Screen Tent is also great to have along if it rains.If it rains all day you still have a shelter you can cook in,and conversate with those with you.Instead of everyone having to retreat to their own tents,or standing in the rain in your rain jackets.
Not sure if Ely Mn Camping sales has this particular tent to offer you,but you can buy it here right online.Eureka makes the best tents,and it's a eureka screen tent that I use while camping up here in Ely Mn.
So instead of looking where to buy a tent in Ely Minnesota.Maybe save yourself a few bucks,and buy one online.Set it up at home and test it,waterproof it,and make sure all the parts came with it.
Here is an article about taking care of a good tent that you want to last,and use on many camping trips to come.
But back to the subject at hand.A screen tent gives camping a new name,well at least it feels like it does.It's a universal shelter that's used for more than just bug protection.It's like the mess hall,the bad weather shelter we're all conversate when the weather gets nasty.It's a retreat to get away from that big deer fly that's chasing you.
I'm up there in age now,and I like making camping as comfortable as possible.Having one of these things along will spoil you.
I don't think alot of campers portage them in the boundry waters,but I see a hell of a lot of people using them in the Superior National Forest right up to it's very edge.
If the weathers great,and the bugs are not to bad I'm never in it.But it sure is nice to have along while camping for the un-expected.Bad weather & bugs can be so unpredictable.
