Why floorless shelter?

[COlineman78]

Maybe my best hunting spots are different but I only run a sealed tent for one reason, daddy long legs,!! They run in the hundreds where I hunt and for some reason go right for any foreign object. If it wasn't for that I would run floorless. I woke up one morning with hundreds of spiders on the nest screens and on my pack in the vestibule. I don't mind bugs but I'm not sleeping with 3 or 4 hundred spiders on me

This is the big reason why I have a hard time trying one. Local here in the east when it rains every critter around seeks shelter under the tent fly. Some areas the slugs can be pretty bad at times and then there's the tick problem we have. I'm thinking about one for the western high country though. And we get lots of those Daddy long legs too at times.
