Since it's Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer is right around the corner, can we start a thread about woodsmanship in the tropics or more northerly environments in the height of Summer?What adjustments do you make?God damn those bugs. I got bitten by another tick last Summer. I'm particularly interested in bug netting. The type that goes over your boonie hat, and the type that you hang over your sleep setup.Make sure you treat it with chemicals. It's supposed to hang over your skin. Protip: don't do what I did last year and let it remain in contact with your skin. It won't protect you that way, and anyway, my skin reacted very badly to whatever chemicals it was permeated with.Where I live we usually get a lot of rain in the Summer. I'm thinking of dropping some cash on a good hammock to stay out of the puddles. I figure I should be pretty comfy with that, sealed up in mesh, with a tarp over me, getting cool breeze above and below.The big downside of hammock camping is that you need to bring your own camp stool or sit down in the mud. You need some extra gear in the Summer.The Morning and evenings are still cold, especially if you're in the rainforest. Even if it's not raining, you will be wet all the time from sweat and humidity.As always, your clothes need to be quick-drying wicking materials. You'll still need a fleece for the night, and impermeable rain gear as well.You will need fuel. A lot of the tinder you'll find is going to be soaked and won't burn without a lot of work. I recommend Isobutane. It's lighter and more compact.What else to add here?
