    Bugs!!!!

    So, I got home today from work and decided to pick two trees on the corner of my property line, they were kinda far apart but with the tree huggers, whoopie slings and 12" dog bones, I was able to bridge the 23' gap.

    Got comfortable and a few minutes in looked down and saw EIGHT mosquitoes feasting on my arms. I quickly swatted the blood sucking pests unhooked and went inside to the ManCave.

    After about an hours research, decided to get the BIAS Buginator. I hope it comes in on time for my trip this weekend to Santee and Wateree, I didn't think the bugs would be out in force yet. I guess due to the heavy amount of rain we've had this year it's to be expected.

    Oh and I was wearing my bandanna treated with Permethrin, I haven't treated the hammock yet, that's on this weeks todo list.

    Permethrin is your friend. Follow directions and beware of cautions but spray hammock, netting, clothing etc. Hang your hammock and netting with hiking clothes and spray all at one time.

    I looked at several nets, and yes the WB was one of them. I liked the cinch closure with shock cord and cord lock better than a zipper entry, personal preference I guess. I'm not a big zipper fan.

    I didn't even think of hanging everything at once and just doing one spray. Great idea. I should easily be able to do this in my garage. Thanks
