    Ha! Yep, adversity sometimes makes the best blog posts. If everything worked out perfect all the time life would be a lot more dull...

    Thanks for reading...

    Trade you some heat, humidity and skeeters for freezing...

    Re: Rough Hammock Weekend

    I had a night like that a couple weeks ago. The bugs weren't really that bad, but there was one who insisted on buzzing in my ear. I just couldn't get comfortable and finally went inside and slept

    That they do. Will be back at it this coming weekend though. Hope to have a chance to whip up a Fronkey-inspired bugnet this week to try. Next in line will be one of dejoha's HUG nets if we get that far.

    I kinda like the idea of bring fully enclosed but also like to be able have access from either side (OK, I'm probably weird, I get in my hammock on one side and exit from the other) so I want to give the Fronkey-style net a try first

    Tough go of it. Quote from a Kenny Rogers song; "You gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them." Thanks for sharing.
