    Chameleon left vs right lay

    Just got a new Chameleon with asym bugnet and I know I’m making things more complicated than they need to be... but what way to I attach the bugnet?

    In the attached picture, I attached the asym bugnet “finished seam up/outside” which I’ve heard equates to a normal “head left feet right” lie.

    I’m coming from an older WBBB where my head was to the left of the ridge line (when laying down and looking up) and my feet were to the right of the ridge line, in the WBBB’s extended foot box. I always thought of that as a “head left feet right” lie.

    But if you look at the picture, it seems that the Chameleon is backwards from this. Did I draw my picture upside down or backwards, or did I install the bugnet the wrong way?

    I’m trying to replicate the direction I lay in my WBBB.
    Many thanks!

    Flip the bugnet and you will be set. The bugnet has a distinct shape and you'll know if it is on not the way you want.

    If it does not feel right and too tight to zip...then flip it and try.
    I sleep head right/feet left.

    This is the correct way to lie, with head and feet at the lowest points of the bug net:



    Since you want a head left / feet right lay, just flip the net.

    I keep seeing this surrounded by "Police Line - Do Not Cross" tape.

    Poor guy. He hung higher than he was willing to fall.
