>>1822023>>1822033I don't know why you are so mad.
Yes In hindsight you really do need a net that wraps under the hammock- previously I had tried using a hammock with a built in bug net and the mosquitoes simply bit me through the material.
I also used a drop-down net but it didn't make a good seal with the ground and was prone to getting dirty/wet.
If you got a wrap-around net it would stop you from getting bitten like I was, but it's going to at risk of damage when you get in and out of your hammock, at risk of getting wet (even with your drip rope) and when all the special extras are added to a hammock like quilts, nets, pads, ropes the appeal is greatly reduced
>>1822201looks neat
>>1822450there are some sneaky ways to hang them that you're probably going to have to rely on from time to time.
>>1822458This. New lightweight gear and scavenging animals don't mix and accidents with fire do happen.
>>1822470>>1822479OMG don't cook in a tent.
There are serious risks of gas leaks, fire destroying gear, CO2 buildup- but there are less obvious risks like spilling burning liquid in an enclosed space, storing hot cooking pans/pots, making your tent smell of food and attracting varmints.
I am aware that some serious hikers in alpine areas have special techniques but ever year there are deaths related to alpine use of stoves in tents.
>>1822825You're deal on, they are perfect for car camping etc and most guys just throw one on the tray of their pickup.
I'm just putting in a general word that because of their small footprint they are more prone to getting bogged.
With a tent you can set drainage and you've got twice as much clearance around where your weight is- the pole setup is also in your favor thoug h arguably the issue is universal.
>can you just set an A-frame over a swagIndeed you can and this is a very sensible solution.
I just don't want to see anyone in a swag get bogged
