    BUGNET/HAMMOCK what to buy?

    I have an ENO Doublenest... but its 50-60$ for the guardian bugnet.. so should i just go ahead and get a grand trunk skeeter beeter pro instead of the bugnet for the ease of setup?

    I went with the Fronkey diy net made with curtain sheers and shock cord. Dirt cheap and works great.

    Check out Dutch - he is selling the Fronkey style at a very reasonable price. You will enjoy the weight savings as well!

    If you want something cheap and easy you might want to keep your eye out for a woot deal on Yukon stuff. They sell a cheap hammock with bug net for like $20. You can also find higher end stuff thats of the same style, if you don't want to just add a bug net, from people like Hammeck or Dream Hammock.

    I just ordered Dutch's new bug no see um and argon sock. I put my Guardian on ebay... The bug sock is only $50 and gives you some options for colder weather.

    The ENO net has been serving me well for about 6 years...and I live in my hammock...only complaints are the weight and lack of breathability caused by the thick mesh. I will be retiring it soon, as I am converting over to an zip-on/removable style net.

    On a different note...You really can make a net in about 20 minutes...don't be DIY shy.

    I second the diy route for the bug net. It doesn't take any time at all and is more fulfilling to diy. Plus it's cheaper and I'm all about saving money.

    And I'll pile on thirds for making your own Fronkey style. If you have (or know someone else who has) even the most basic sewing machine, it's a less than an hour project if you buy cheap window shears and use those. Add a few bucks for cord and cord lock and you've got a bugnet. Before you dismiss the idea entirely, search out the videos that explain how to do it. I watched both Fronkey's and Cryptic Cricket's videos on how to make a bugnet.
    "...the height of hammock snobbery!"
