    Great job

    Looks good, practical and within my budget. On a side note, I've read your blogs and they are fantastic, informative and just enough comedy to ask "what's next?".

    Thanks Top! I really wasn't planning to do a blog post this weekend. At most I thought I might update the "Tryin' to Beat the Skeet" post from last week after spending a night in the bugnet but when the Poe connection hit me late last night it all just sort of flowed.

    Glad you're enjoying the blog. Hope others do too. I have a lot of fun with it.

    Looks good. The next time I am in Wally World, I will have to expand my shopping routine.

    Good read...I have used seperate bugnets in the past and I noticed that I didnt have to have the bugnet gathered at the bottom but rather just drapped down the sides of the hammock, to keep the skeeters out.

    Yep, there's quite a few ways to keep the skeeters at bay. Dejoha's HUG covers even less and by all accounts does a great job.
