    How tightly can I compress a bug net?

    I'm using a Warbonnet Travel Net. It's pretty typical bug netting; .9 oz No-See-Um netting. It came packed from Warbonnet in a rather large sack; about 13 inches long, and 5 inches wide. Can it be compressed into a smaller bag without damaging it? It's pretty bulky.

    With a compression sack you should be able to get it down to 1/3 of it's original size with no damage.

    Netting can't be compressed, but you can pack it tightly, how tightly depends on how tough the netting is.

    What the above posters said. I seriously doubt that any packing/compressing that you can do without mechanical advantage will damage the net.
