The question was not specific to Blackbirds. I have a Blackbird, aquired it this summer, but I will be selling it, need a lefty. Plus I have grown to HATE being enclosed.
Yes, netting holds in heat, found that with my Hennessy, my first hammock (after my ENO). Hot summer night, sticky, almost no air movement, icky. That was.my dirst inkling maybe I might have a claustrophobic problem. Now I know I am claustrophobic, bridge hammock, prefer no net. I am able to use a sock if it is light colored has net over my head and doors. My two door Spindrift is almost okay, I will be altering it soon.
I like to feel the atmosphere, I like the to feel the changes the subtle little changes, smell, humidity that are constantly happening. Being encapsulated deprives me of too many of the things I love about our forests.
I am not a fan of bug bites, I do reluctantly use pyrethium. I only use nets in heavy bug infested areas. In winter no nets.
My STUFF stays in my hammock because I tether it to my hammock, took me awhile and frustration to learn to attatch TQ, H2O, book and lights to my hammock. One great factor of my RR, the saddle.bags do what they should keep my junk reachable no matter how many trips in and out.
