I KNOW this should go in the sub-forum, but I'm guessing that I'm not the only one who doesn't check them regularly so I wanted as many people as possible to see this. Even if we aren't thinking about buying something, when someone comes up with a new idea.....
I thought someone else would post this, but can't find it, so here goes: (OOOPS PHOTO did not reproduce)
<<We have just relaesed the much anticipated HUG--The Hammock Half Bug Net. Available for order now at AHE and on sale this weekend for just $27.50
Sale starts now and ends Sunday night.
The HUG is the ultimate in simplicity for hammock bug nets: super compact and lighter than anything else available on the market, weighing only 5 ounces and packing down to the size of an orange. The HUG was designed with three main objectives: 1) light weight; 2) easy entry and exit (without fiddling with zippers or other complex entry systems); 3) and can be used with or without a fixed ridgeline.
The HUG saves weight by deliberately taking advantage of different components in most hammock camping systems. A sleeping bag provides ample coverage for your legs where the net ends, and a pad or under quilt add peace of mind for bites from behind. Additionally, an under quilt can help secure the sides of the HUG for maximum closure. The HUG is designed to provide a spacious, "bug-free zone" while also allowing you to easily hop in and out without getting tangled up. The HUG works on hammocks with or without a fixed ridgeline.
Designed by author and hammock aficionado Derek Hansen.
Derek writes this about his inspiration for the HUG "After hammock camping with my kids, I wanted a net that I could exit quickly without fumbling for time-consuming zippers or draw cords. The solution was a design that “hugs” the hammock with a simple toggle system and drapes on top for easy entry and exit."
