Does anyone in Ohio use a open hammock with no netting and just a tarp and have trouble with bugs or skeeters? Thinking of getting an open hammock with a good tarp.
Hey Junkie and hi from North Kentucky
welcome from Tx have to say I like all the same stuff I think you are goin to love hammockin

I would recommend some type of bug protection in the warmer months.
Before hammock camping, I dabbled in tarp camping. I slept quite a few nights under the stars or with just a tarp over me. A bug headnet made all the difference.
At very least you can use just a headnet in your no net hammock as you're covered with a quilt or sleeping bag; so your body is protected.
Only issue with this is when it's really hot, if you have a hammock with integrated bugnetting, you can lay inside with nothing on you and still be protected from the bugs. With no net you can't do this obviously.
Bottom line - I wouldn't go out in warmer months with at least a headnet if not a full bugnet. YMMV.
Welcome from Columbus! Come on down for a hang sometime. Great group of hangers here.
Hello from Springboro.. I'm new also, have most of my gear but haven't done my "first hang" yet.
The "most" part being that I do not yet have my bug net. I think I have decided to go with a Fronkey style bug net for my double layer hammock; there are many different add on bug net solutions if you don't find a hammock with the netting built in that suits you.
