    Why have a bugnet that doesn't keep out no see 'ums?

    <<Please note: this net does not keep biting midges (no-see-ums) out>>


    That said, I have a Treklight double and several yards of no see 'um mesh in black. Can anyone point me to dimensions for making a bugnet? Point taken from the poster who said a U-shaped zipper would allow for the flap to be flipped over.

    Sorry, I was replying to the previous post by dehoja:

    <<I made a fully enclosed bug net last year out of a Mombasa Outback Travel Net - Single, from REI. I just cut the top of and sewed it into a tube with a cinch draw cord on each end. Worked great for $12.>

    It's not no see 'um.

    BTW, I "found" the whole section on the forums about bugnets. Lots of options and suggestions.

    YMMV. I've never had a problem with no-see-ums, but some areas are worse than others.

    Cuben will certainly help you drop weight. I've got my WBBB, a cuben tarp, a cuben UQ and a cuben TQ. This will take me to 20 without down clothes, even lower if I'm wearing a down jacket. I've got a custom cuben tarp on order that will have 'wings' that I can use to close off each end for nasty weather. Can't wait to get it!

    You wear a down jacket inside a vapor barrier? Seems like it would get wet from body moisture. Have you tried weighing it before bed, then first thing in the morning to see how much moisture it has collected overnight?

    Has anyone tried Gossamer Gear's wide thinlight pad in a double hammock?

    Approx 8 oz. Not sure how much it insulates in really cold weather.
