perhaps a sticky for portable stands. There seems to be so many great ideas. Sure would be convenient to have them all in one location.

Lazy afternoons/ evenings hanging out by the river bug free would be great.
I went to the ENO website & checked out the bug nets. I think I may try a DIY first.
Thanks for the input.

DemostiX, I am really considering the DIY route.
There seems to be plenty of ideas for bug nets & the cost of purchasing material is not very expensive.

Muddog15 do you have an ENO bug net or did you see someone use it in that fashion?

Thanks for the reply
I'm a fairly large hanger. the side zipper sounds intriguing.
The price will definitely be a factor.

Thank You for the input.
Just hanging in the woods behind the house. weight is not an issue. But still thinking of going with the Fronkey Bug net.

Thanks for the input.
Any pics of what you were thinking of to throw up for a bug net?

Great Video Tendertoe. Could be my first DIY project

Not having any camping, hiking experience I will probably be more of a lurker /reader rather than a poster....

Goin' for the whoopie!
Thanks for the input.

Keep the biner & the cord on the hammock then to the whoopie(nice)
At 6'1" 280 no gramweenie here
Great info Thanks!

Loads of great info...Thanks!!

Whoopie tied to the original cord at the end of the hammock will provide more options than just the whoopie by its-self?
How would you tie it?
Thanks

Thanks for the lead on the drawing.

Count the rookie hanger in!
Thanks

Great video! Thank you.
So the whoopie sling attaches to the tree straps? How?
Total rookie I know.
Thanks
