I did the trail in 04 with a tarp. When the bugs came out I used a bug nest from golite under the tarp or all by itself. I spent many nights in my bug net. If I did the trail again I would use the tarp to save weight untill Harpers Ferry then switch to a tarptent Squal because it is so roomy and it would keep out the bugs. I was squished in my little bug-net but it did have it's advantages--- You can pitch it all by itself on clear nights to get a bug-free view of the stars. When you know your going to get a nasty storm you can use it in a shelter if it's not to crowded.
