Vic, do you have any concerns about catching the tent on fire with the LRC running inside it?

of course!  open flame inside a plastic room can easily become a plastic coffin.   Hence the super low heat setting, and keeping it far enough away from the walls.  Note I am not saying it is recommended or safe!

This evening I used my Clam (brand) screenhouse for real - for need - for the first time. Some gnat-y critters were buzzing and biting a bit, so up it went.
Camped at Jones Lake State Park in southeast North Carolina.

Visibility from the inside to the outside is good, even though the screen is tightly-meshed no-see-um grade.

Some other campers walked by and saw me in there. I said: "I've been bad and I'm in detention". They laughed. :D

I purchased the same 6x6 clam and haven’t used it yet. Purchased for MN. camping. The mosquitoes are unbelievable at times. How was the setup and take down? Did it fit ok in its original sleeve for storage. Most of these things barely fit after use.

It takes about one minute to put up; it helps to watch the videos. Take-down even quicker. It fits back in the bag just fine.

Thanks for your review. The clam is going to get a work out next year. Heading on several bug infested fishing adventures.  :D

Clam . . . . . it's not just for bugs anymore :D.  I posted this several years ago but it seems like a good fit for this thread.  The Clam with panels worked well on this rainy weekend.
