>>2643534>I can't remember if flies made me want to kill myselfthey did. i was so glad of my midge-proof tent this season in scotland. they were so fucking bad. however on a recent camp in wales, barely any insects whatsoever, despite being on a mountainous farm, although i was glad of my tent to protect against ticks. saw two crawling on the outside of it. i would only bivvy in winter/ non-insect season. have done many times to great success.
