anybody tarp tent on backpack trips

“i wonce had a big tick on my head”

“I bet it wasn't while you were in English class.”

“nope, i was in philmont”

“Sure I've had ticks. I've just never had issues with them and the tarp.

This past March at Sipsey I had one on me that I thought was a blood blister. It was on my abdomen below my belt line and I just thought I'd gotten poked by a branch since it was an off trail trip. A day later I realize it was a small tick. I can't tell a deer tick from a regular one, so I asked BAMA. He went Crocodile Dundee on me. I had pulled the tick out, he grabbed it, acted like he tasted it, and reported that it wasn't a deer tick.”
