    hennessy bug net - get it out of the way

    What is the best way to get the bugnet on a Hennessy Expedition Zip when not needed? There is a little velcro thing to roll it back, but if there are no bugs it is still kind of obstructive. Has anyone found a good way of getting in out of the way?

    how bout that i guess i'm not the only one who thought the same thing. Seems like a design flaw on the Hennessy not building some way to keep it out of the way in. Maybe it helps keep cost reasonable. I dunno.

    Just out of curiosity...does the WBBB have a "native" way to keep the bug net out of the way when not needed?

    No - it's a side zip. Just flop it over the ridgeline, or clip it up with something.

    I'm weird I guess. The netting is never in the way. If I'm in the hammock I just hop in then zip it up. There's something trying to crawl on me or drink my blood pretty much year round in FL though.
