Doesn't a double layer get pretty hot in this part of the world? From what I've been reading, it is hard for the little buggers to bite through two layers, but it would seem that if you cut down the air flow here, you''d be well done by morning?????
I just went to a friend of mine who does that storage sale thing and bought a sewing machine. I have been needing one occasionally anyway, just never pulled the trigger. Now I have a good excuse to play around and make a couple of hammocks , nets, and flies.
I know I'm going to try a few options before I shell out 7-8 hundies for two
hammocks.
Besides, DYI fits in better with the bushcraft/survival mindset anyway, plus it's fun (for me anyway) to make my own stuff.
Thanks again guys for the help!
