    Bug net emergency

    Hi, I have the eno singlenest and was going to get the Warbonnet bugnet because it's the lightest one I've been able to find at 7.5 oz. However they are on backorder and I really don't feel like risking not having one since I'm leaving for the Whites on August 12th which is coming up fast. Are there any other bugnets just as light or that are recommended? Thanks!

    The only commercially made bugnets I know of for GE hammocks are the ENO bugnet (never used, but reportedly heavier) and the WB bugnet (very nicely made, but I had issues with my DIY hammock being too long--it is sized for the WB traveller). If you are needing it in a hurry, you might consider a quick and dirty DIY bug sock with two panels of netting sewn at the long edges and gathered closed at the ends, or a sheet of netting draped over your ridge line and weighted at the edges to keep it in place. Sgt. Rock recently posted pics of his bug sock on his sub 1# hammock setup using an inexpensive tulle material that seems to work well for him.

    Just ideas. I'm sure others with more know-how will chime in.

    CTGuy,
    I could throw you one together and get it out within a day or two.
    See this post for details about this net.

    Last one I shipped out came in at 3.1oz after I left off the grossgrain ribbon from the ends.

    PM me if I can help you out.
