    Fronkey bugnet closure?

    I just recieved my fronkey style bugnet the other day, and was wondering about the shock cord bottom. Do I cinch it as tight as it will go? or should i leave some slack in it so it will conform to my shape in the hammock? Thanks.

    Cinch it just enough to keep it against the hammock. Some folks don't cinch it at all, or use small weights to keep it in place. You want to be able to get in and out easily without adjusting it every time.
    Mind over matter,
    if you don't mind, it don't matter

    I don't use a cord at all. On a windy day, a couple of rocks in the bottom will keep things in order.

    I don't cinch mine at all, though I do treat it with permethrin. I've never had a bug inside.
