I bought a $200 free standing mosquito net, it's like a 10x10, weighs probably 50 pounds - mostly for keeping the wife comfy on car camping trips - got it at Costco, and it seems like reasonable quality. Then I started thinking about it and just about everywhere we go has got trees where I could hang a mosquito net like a tarp and found a bunch of options on Amazon. I've definitely been keeping an eye out for a system like this that would be more packable. Thanks for the video! Hugely helpful.
Good advice Blackie,.....I live near Newburgh, NY (rural area), this morning at 5 it was 75 degrees and 83% humidity. Bad air due to claimed high ozone levels, and constant threat of T- storms, so I'll stay in the AC and watch videos. Todays forecast is for 92, been in the 90s since Wed. we have our 1st heatwave of '24, to last through the weekend!
BLACKIE, do you ever do any videos regarding bug out bags and show what you would take for a long term bug out ??? If you could do a video on that it would be very interesting.
It was 7 degrees C (44.6) last night in my neck of the woods (Brisbane, Australia). I feel for you with the heat and bugs. Large mesh area has always been the best way to cool Sometimes I don’t even put the outside skin of my Coleman tent (I have a large tarp over the top of it).
Greetings Blackie Wilfred here I love flowing u great and informative. The other night I was in bed about 3 a.m. I was woken up by pain in my right leg well got up to fine the leg blown up to the point all I could c was the nails of the toes. Next day off to the doctor and the next day after blood test they called me back with a list of medications to pick up and take for ten day. To the point please advise all the silver wolfs of the high possible of lime disease from ticks this year. 72 years old my life spent in the wood with cud and Boy Scouts working as D.C.O., A.C.O. and N.C.O. Lic under D.E.C. my life spent in the out door and woods never and never was bitten now retired and in joying the grandkids in the wood and back yard I get bitten not fair , but it’s life. Thank u have a great weekend. Keep up the good work my friend. P.S some hacked me so I unfriend all of my friends cause of the trash they were sending later
It definitely offers a few options and that’s a good thing. Here in Oklahoma some nights can get just miserable with low temperatures in the 80’s with humidity to match with no breeze.
Thats nice cause I got a bug screen with the onewind hammock but its challenging getting in and out of hammock, as the net kinda wraps close around the hammock.. this however lets the old man roll out and grump around until he gets stood up straight! Lol. Love it. Put one on order!
Oh boy hot nights are hard on us northern folks. Hot temps, high humidity and a high dew point aint no fun. Add to that a lady that might be at a time in life where she produces a lot of heat. You need room Sometimes to get up and sit in a chair. That said you can't beat a battery operated fan blowing air on your face.
Blackie, Great Gear Review, will need to get me 3 or 4 of those. Thank You Sir for sharing this information. L.A. is God's Country, Beautiful and Wonderful Place To Live and Visit. Thanks Again Sir and God Bless Y'all, Blackie and Mrs Blackie and Bear and Mrs. Bear.
I have one of them and just shared it last week on hammock forums. You can set up a wiz bucket or bottle and not get bit up. Also gives you room to run a bigger fan. At 2lbs 9 oz. it's backpackable Id just leave my chair behind and use my hammock. Good review. I Run my straps thru the double zippers and tie the top zipper to the strap so when my weight pulls down on the strap, it also closes the top zipper. It will trip you up going in and out if your not carefull though.
Excellent and very informative video my friend…‼️ Thanks for sharing…👍🏻 I have one of these and would highly recommend it also…..‼️ Stay Strong 💪🏻 Brother…👍🏻
I've been looking at getting a couple of these specific bug nets for the past few days. After watching your review, I'm pulling the trigger. Thanks for the timely video, Blackie, and all the best to you.
try to stay safe and cool out there
Watch out you don't deploy it overtop of a underground yellow jacket nest
That’s a great idea. Turns the tarp into a screen tent!

I really like that extra room under the bug net!

Near piece of kit! I can see running another line under your tarp to tie your hammock up out of the way to make a larger screen room to hang out in.👍

Cool 😎

Hi Blackie, Could you do a video on field shirts?
Great video and value
Appreciate it!
I'm sitting in a pile of citronella scented geranium branches 😊

@@BLACKIETHOMAS it's pretty much a requirement
Another great video. (But your caption should say “you’re.”)
