    I haven't seen anyone adding a permanent net to a Traveler....yet.

    I wouldn't put a permanent net on mine if they were giving them away.

    Gringo... Thats why I want full zippers on both sides.

    The bugs get bad here starting in late April....and can stay bad right through October.

    Ive had mosquitos ruin trips... and I prefer to do my best to stay away from synthetic repellents.

    Did I mention I dont like Bugs?

    catnip + rosemary + everclear.

    crush herbs, put in ever clear. shake well. put some in a squirt bottle for trips.

    the alcohol evaporates. the catnip and rosemary are natural mosquito repellents. it works for me while I' working in the garden during the warm months.

    When I'm camping, I have the thermacell.

    I hear ya...lived in Mt. Clemens for a couple of years.

    I guess if it could be reefed to the ridge line, I could stand it.

    LOVE my Thermacell!

    Well Opie, I hope that you figure something out. I just ordered a Traveler and I am interested to see how a 100% zip on and zip off bug net would work on one.
    I think it is a great idea.
