I've been hammocking for years but just started backing packing and camping with one last year. I love camping in the winter up here...no bugs! My gears needs a little improvement but that'll come as funds become available. As far as my budget gear goes, I really like the wise owl stuff. I have multiple hammocks, a rainfly, a bugnet, and a couple underquilts that I stack in cold weather. I have been eyeing hard the 11ft netless from Dutchware.

My question for the seasoned vets is this; the netted hammocks intrigue me but I'm afraid of getting bit through the bottom side in the summer with no insulation. Is that a problem with these hammocks or am I paranoid?

Really enjoying all the info and seeing what others are rocking out there. Thank you all
