Is this good for No-see-ums and biting flies? I want to use for the boundary waters canoe trip next year.

I honestly am not sure about the no-see-ums. I'd used this several times now for our camping. It definitely works pretty good for mosquitoes (I am a magnet for them). I would recommend to use a picnic blanket inside to cover all the flaps folded in. If the ground is uneven, there might be a gap between the ground and mosquitoes/bugs can still get inside. Also I have an electric bug zapper I bring in with me to zap all pesky bugs that gets in with me :-) we all love this, I would recommend this to anyone. Very light, easy to fold and stow/carry.

I went to a secluded island for a global experience with my doctoral group. Neither the students, professors, or natives could close the tent. I just left it on the island.

We didn't have experiences with either in SE Asia, but I doubt biting flies can fit thru the mesh. No see ums are quite small but again, the mesh is quite fine. I think it's better to bring a net than not, but this one was still finer in comparison to others I've seen.

It should keep away most small flies and bugs. There are no holes in the tent other then the entryway and I believe it zips up.

No. it will kill a small fly but the big ones ya gotta get close to. It's a novelty fly killer that's great for guys who like to hunt flys in the off season

I don't think this screen has a fine enough mesh to keep out fruit flies. (Does anything?) I bought it to keep out mosquitos, which it does very well. That said, you could probably impede a great number of them. Just don't expect total prevention.

I'm not sure about any specific breed of flies, but I've worn it places where there were biting flies and I didn't get bitten.

I don't live in an area where we have green head flies, so sorry I can't answer your question. I can tell you that when I use this product, I am not bothered or bitten by any insect. I highly recommend them.

I agree with the others on this one. good choice for great lakes salmon and lakers but i'm not sure you will have the ability to feel much with crappie. i think its over kill for your application.

I've used mine on known game trails and areas I've baited. I used it at bait sites to make sure I was getting the type animals at the bait that I wanted. I've used it in rainy weather with no problems but not in weather cold enough to produce ice. My thought is that it would work fine in cold weather as long as you used something to keep snow off the lens.

I would go with this. I used both and I liked these better. They have the tops you can hang them also if you want to or have them on the ground. I had a ton of flies coming I into from my neighbor's dogs and this took care if them within 3-4 days. I also like that as the flies fill it up you just put more water on them before having to change it out. This one worked better for me personally.

For sure NOT. The ones that have multiple layers are great, I have since gotten a few re-chargeable ones and they are great. This may work for regular flies but not fruit flies.

I lightly spray this on my dogs daily and they don't have any issues with biting flies or gnats. The flies have not been so bad here yet. I use Buggins all of the time when I am out working in the yard and find it works great, even seems to repel mosquitoes. Smells wonderful too!

You wouldn't want the smell in your home. The smell is what attracts the fly's. It's for outdoors use.

Yes quite nice. I use it for my compost dregs (in the kitchen) and do not want fruit flies etch..... "bugging" me! They I take it out to the compost bins and no flies! Win Win!

Yes, but it is kind of small. So i got a larger fly from the hennessy website. And now i can use one or the other depending on climate.

I really like mine. It is really comfortable. It blows up fast and the paddles that come with it are decent and come apart for storage. I went and bought a large canvass bag to store it in when not in use. On a windy day, it is hard to paddle though especially on a large body of water, but that would be true for most small water crafts.

Wendi, spend another $20 and get a boat that works, The controller quit after 2 hrs. The boat did rip pretty good in the river. for a while..

I have never been there, but in imagining it, I might want something a little more substantial. Also, if you will be paddling over some distance, this really doesn't do great cutting through flat water at a reasonable speed. It is great if you have a current to take you along.

Yes. It has been used in fairly heavy rain and snow. As long as the rain fly is used it holds up well.
