Five Basic Principles of Going Lighter (not me... the great Cam Honan of OZ)

I finally got a chance this weekend to try out my spreader bar bug net and I really like it. It not only kept the bug net off my face when laying in the hammock but it made getting in and out of my hammock easier because it lifted the bugnet up and out of the way when I unzipped it
Getting a Chameleon and trying to decide on asym vs sym bugnet. My question is does the symmetrical setup cause more underquilt slippage? This will be my first hammock with quilt hooks, and I hope that will solve the slippage problem I've had in the past. I'm not sure if I like left or right lay better - have both styles and don't seem to have a preference. In any case you can flip the asym net if you want anyway. I'm leaning toward the asym mainly because a want the underquilt to be locked in. Anyone able to convince me otherwise?
Get a sym and will work out both ways.
If you change sleep directions during the night, definitely get a symmetrical... the Chameleon asym net isn't difficult to flip but it's not something you'd want to do multiple times during the night.
In my experience, slippage is reduced when using quilt hooks. However, I found that they seem to put a little more stress on the net than I'd like and I no longer use them. Occasionally, and especially with 'shortie' quilts, I'll wake up with a foot or shoulder having slipped past the quilt shock cords but I find it an extremely minor issue... I just readjust quickly and go back to sleep. And sometimes I don't even notice and snooze right thru it.
