Getting home

While breezing through (I may have missed it) but also bug repellant (no odor kind). Bugs can be relentless specially when your trying to be still and hidden. I've also been intrigued but a hammock tent. It can be comfortable to sleep in (when you can), protect you from bugs, sun and rain, be fairly compact and easy to carry. I'd probably want a camo version to stay hiden better. Thoughts?

Bug spray is a good idea. I keep a small tube of bug repellent made by Sawyer. It's about the size of a Sharpie marker.

I've never messed with hammocks, but I know a lot of people like them. Much more concealable and easier to carry than a tent.

@bigfelipe reminded me that I need to pick a military sleep system. I have be wanting to stuff just the outer bivy (should be Gore-Tex) in my bag to have year round.

I've got one (a silcock key), damn thing is really heavy for it's size but it's likely worth it. Based on the solid construction I'm assuming those commercial water spigots are tough to turn so that they key is more usable than a pair of vice grips.

A lot of the commercial spigots have recessed stems and can't be reached without a specific tool like the sillcock key. To know that you're that close to water and can't get it to flow would be maddening...
One caveat to stealing potable water is that when turned on to a decent flow rate it will make a noise inside the structure. Test your house sometime and I'm sure you would know if someone turned on an outside sillcock. Commercial buildings aren't as likely to make a noise but there could be guards for the store. Think ahead...
