Leaving the nest at home...

[Vitals]

It probably has more to do with where people hunt than anything. I have slept nest-less on a few trips in NorCal wilderness areas with no issues, but I had 1 night that was awful and a friend had another situation with ants to where I think a nest makes good sense. If going nest-less I would camp in spot that are clear of downed/decaying wood.

Good idea. I think being mindful of where I set up should keep me out of trouble. ....I hope.
