    Repair bug net

    While unzipping my cover the zipper caught and ripped maybe a 2x3" hole in my bugnet. What's the best way to repair?

    Easiest is tenacious tape. REI. 5 bucks.

    I think it was youtube channel nemores world said he tenacious taped the bugnet on his cuben duplex a few years ago after mice chewed through it. Work so well he just left it. Depends on how much cosmetics matter to you

    +1 on doing the sewing it up thing.
    I had a tent door that my 7 yr-old slashed with a knife... [she and friend "thought" there were bears... this was on Cape Cod... in my driveway] [I still have the knife I confiscated].
    I fast-fixed with duct tape, and it was a certified PITA when I went back to do the stitchery.

    1. Needle and thread (as mentioned)
    2. Tenacious Tape (as mentioned) - I've used that in a pinch a few times on tents, jackets and other stuff. It's legit.
