You won't regret it! :D
Thanks, Slowhike! :)

Welcome :D
What you are talking about sounds similar to what the military calls an "insect bar":

These suspend easily, but are...
Hit my lowest temp so far (17 degrees) this weekend on a campout with my son's scout troop. I tied my poncho up under my hammock with some trashbags Garlington Insulator style, and used a homemade...
