Attached or unattached bug net?

I finished up a fronkey bugnet last night. got the .67oz nanoseeum mesh from dutch for $3.25 a yard, and the process of making it went very quickly (even with a sprained ankle, and having to sew on the floor). Easily the easiest project I've done so far, and quite cheap as well.

That said, I'm not convinced I'll keep it. I've only hung with it once so far, and that was just for a few minutes, and while I'm confident that it will work as expected, it's SOOO bulky, I was really surprised. I may either try to trim off some on the bottom (looks like there may be a few inches there), or look into doing an integrated, or even half bugnet (like the dutch half-whit).

I'll give it a good few uses before I change anything, as I may find out that I love it. I was just surprised how much bulk it added to my setup. It easily doubled the volume.

You'll be hard pressed to find any scientific evidence that mosquitoes are a threat at 45* F. Mosquitoes are lethargic at 60* F, and downright immobile at 50* F. This is true of all mosquitoes worldwide.

I doubt Indiana mosquitoes have evolved differently.

I follow that rule and have never been bitten. I've also never taken a bug net hammock camping . . .that cant' be a coincidence.
