Hi All,

I'm working in the Arabian peninsula and like to camp in the desert. I have a mesh tent which I use w/o the fly but would like to go a step further and sleep under the stars. I'm not really comfortable, though, without any protection from crawling critters like scorpions, camel spiders and the like. I've thought about a bivy but am not sure if that's an improvement over a mesh tent, as I'd still be peering thru mesh (and be much more confined), although it does seem to be a simpler, more basic set-up. I guess I'm wondering if a bivy gives one a feeling of being 'closer' to nature than a mesh tent would. Any ideas would be appreciated.
