Does anyone actually pitch their tent like this (only the bug netting) or is it just aesthetics for the 'gram that caught on because you can see the entire sunset sky from "inside" the tent in your photos?
Bugs can be a legit concern, but often a rain fly-only pitch weighs less. I've only ever seen people pitch like this in online photos. What's the point of pitching only a mesh which gives no sun, wind or rain protection?
