    Chameleon - when you unzip your bug net almost all the way...is there a trick to tuck it in?

    I had a quick jaunt with my new Chameleon that came in yesterday. It's all good. Especially love all the inside and outside attachment options. As I laid in the hammock briefly, I unzipped the bug net all the way and wondered if there was a way to stow it neatly? On Darien hammock there is a built in pocket where you can tuck in your bug net on one side or the top cover on the other end of the hammock. Maybe I was in too much hurry but I did not notice such thing on the Chameleon. I figured I'd ask here. I thought Dutch probably had some kind of a trick to do that ;-)

    I think I'll answer my own question: Peak Shelf

    The mesh sack the netting came in can be used. Larks head the cord around the ridge line and slide the line lock all the way up against the larks head and the ridge line to secure it. Slide the pouch all the way to one end or the other and voila!! You have a peak BAG to stash your netting and can still use the peak shelf.

    You can use the mesh bag, but I store it with the net zipped shut. I only store the net if I remove it and I rarely do that.

    I must say this is a great idea. Much easier way of storing the bug net when you want it out of your way, then you don't have to fool with making sure you have it the correct direction.
