Sorry for all the questions, but...I got the package deal from REI w/ SB and tarp for island camping. This being my first camping hammock, I dont have any idea of how to set it up right. It didnt come w/ any directions. Got the hammock part figured out easily enough, but what about the suspension for the bug net and then the tarp. Can the bug net be set up semi permenantly so it is up automatically when hammock is set up? Is the bug net tied off to tree as well, or to the hammock or s ring? Does the tarp just drape over the bug net? Can it work w/ out it?
Also, I am really happy w/ the hammock. Seems well made packs up nicely in individual bags, ect. How durable is the netting on these things? The reason I ask is I have 3 "pea" sized holes in it and I have never used it. 2 look like small tears, the other looks like it got "stretched". I am sure its not supposed to come this way, but is this something that is normal after a while and I'll have to deal with at some point anyway? I have some scape material that was in the hammock that I can probrably fix it with, but I may see about getting it replaced if this isnt the norm.
Sorry for long post, thanks for any help w/ this stuff!
