    Given that you're using an Hennessy, the tie-outs will go a long way towards preventing this (it's why they're there; they help keep the netting off of you, preventing bite-throughs by mosquitoes).

    If you find yourself in a spot where it's hard to get the tie-outs staked down in addition to your tarp, you can wrap the tie-out around the tarp guyline and then snap the mitten hook back onto the ring that the tie-out comes off of on the hammock. This uses the tarp as a way to hold the tie-out out.

    Hope it helps!

    The back move is no joke. A lot of us find that we are side sleepers on a mattress but back sleepers in a hammock.

    If using a stuff sack try sewing a piece of fleece on one side. More comfortable than nylon. Does not soak up moisture like cotton.
    YMMV

    I'm not a fan of nylon against my face either. I use a Buff tube around a vest or spare clothes. If I can tuck it under my neck when I'm on my back, it is usually good. I will ball it up a little when I sleep on my side.

    I second the pillow. Also, a mini binder clip is handy, and small to pack. I've got a ENO Doublenest that has the sides fall in on me sometimes, and the binder clip can keep the extra fabric rolled up and out of the way.

    Pillow... Also keeps my head from flopping down like a drunk on a bar stool...
    Live, Laugh, Love, if that doesn't work. Load, Aim and Fire, repeat as necessary...
