    Glad to hear you enjoyed hammock camping experience. What an awesome site to wake up to every morning.

I'm headed on a hot-weather hang this weekend and this piece of gear will definitely be coming along. Here's a review from some other users.
    You put the UQ protector on your hammock even in hot weather when you don't use your UQ?

    I'm headed to Florida to hang in a few weeks and am wondering how I'll combat those skeeters with my new Thunderbird SL Dream Hammock.

    Yep, I'll probably have the UQ protector on there even in hot weather if it's buggy. If you install it on there very loosely it will keep the bugs away but about any breeze makes it billow and pumps away the heat. The heat is better than being eaten.

    You can pick this up or online almost anywhere. It's what I use.

    There is a 1 liter spray or a fancy 3l spray
    Looks like they do have that at our local Cambodian Tire...the website says it's 0.25% permethrin. I wonder how that compares to the one on the Sawyer site...theirs says it's 0.5%. So the Wilson one may be only half as effective or long-lasting?
