The Cowboy Fortune Cookie Hammock Sock (Beta)

[Military hiker]

Been testing the slightly improved version of this hammock sock, a a full-enclosure bug net made completely from 0.9 oz NoSeeUm mesh. It has a Dutch 2-way separating zipper so the halves separate, making the addition/removal of the net even easier. The photos below show the improved reinforced pass-through tie-outs in action, so that not only does the bug net stay taut and off of your face but also the sides of your hammock can still be pulled out for an optimal diagonal lay. I sewed the new pass-through tie-outs with 200D pack cloth patches, 1/2" grosgrain ribbon, 1/2" Beastie Dee rings, and double-sided mitten hooks. The bug net has cord-locked drawcords through the grosgrain channels at each end for a secure fit ver the suspension. Now that I have this design tested and more or less perfected, I'm going to make a refined version of the original fabric sock in 1.55 oz Multicam Epsilon, with a smaller optimized triangular mesh vent window.

Sweet!!
