The Ultimate Hammock System

[@xForcier]

My left ear really enjoyed this.

[@stackedpennies4377]

-grand trunk hammok: $25 -walmart ratchet ties for tree straps:$5 -clearance walmart fine mesh curtain for mosquito net (easily customized): $12 -ridgeline: $6 -wal mart stakes (lightweight):$3 -yukon outfitters rainfly on amazon: $30 total: $80 ... shop around, dont get stuck with expensive shit!! my system has lasted plenty of trips and is comfortable. its about the hike, not the gear

[@BrianSniatkowski]

My partner and I have the Blackbird along with the Mamajamba tarp and and it is an awesome hammock system. I think you sold me on the Superfly though. I have gotten some spray on windy, rainy nights through the open ends of the Mamajamba and the Superfly seems to address that issue. As far as tying the tarp, instead of the taunt line hitch knot used here, I much prefer the small Nite Ize Figure 9 carabiner or the small Nite Ize Cam Jam. They are both easily adjustable and weigh almost nothing. Best of all there is no knot to tie or untie and that cuts time from the tarp setup and take down. They are a great addition to one of the best camping hammock systems available. My partner and I even use our Blackbirds in public campgrounds because they are so comfortable. It's funny seeing us hanging among giant tents, trailers and motor homes. I guess the only issue there is that we need to use the bathrooms to change because the Mamajambas don't completely cut you off from view in a crowded campground. The Superfly would also solve that issue. But for backacking, canoe camping and even car camping it's hard to beat the Warbonnet hammocks. Though we do bring a tent in the car just in case when camping at public campgrounds, because at some sites there aren't enough properly spaced trees to hang two hammocks.

[@SuperUncleRyan]

I have a Hennessy, 2 Grand trunks, a generic, and a Warbonnet. They all sleep great but the Warbonnet is amazing. The Hennessy is actually really nice too but the bottom entrance makes it a little inconvenient sometimes. The Superfly is crazy. It's like the thing is made out of smoke, it is so light but so big.

[@BananaBabys]

Hey I lived in hammocks for 2 years and the best hammock is simply ordering rip stop nylon and whipping the ends with rope. It's 20 bucks for 1.6 oz rip stop nylon just get 4 yards and custom fit to your body height. For bug protection make a fronky bug net. I hand sewed mine in the field. Have tried buying hammocks and realized it's super simple to make a custom. Less money, same quality. Plus you can get camo patterns. 1.6 oz holds 300+ lbs. if you are lighter get 1.1 oz it's more comfortable since it stretches more thus conforms better to your body.

[@BananaBabys]

Forgot to say you can make a "foot box" too. You simply sew elastic in to the foot area so it "pulls" the material together . You can even do it on the head side. It makes it so the hammock will bunch up high and your sleeping bag won't fall out easily. Neither will your feet slide out easy. Just thought I would throw it out there for people who don't want to drop 300 bucks on a hammock. For between 50 and 100 bucks you can make your own hammock setup with removable bug net. For suspension go to Dutchware gear. Whoopie slings with hooks are my favorite kit. I live in hammocks as a lifestyle not just recreation. I have one hanging in my room. Diygearsupply.com for rip stop, bug net, and elastic cord. Dutchware gear for suspension. Tarp is your choice. I have a camo cuben fiber tarp from hammock gear.com. Very expensive but light and strong.

[@Spider-Too-Too]

+Lego Fox It might be cool, if i use a hammock in my travel cargo van. So I don't have to sleep on the floor.

[@MarshRat]

+Lego Fox I totally agree with you but came to the same conclusion from a different direction.  I first bought the Warbonet and really love it.  However after my first year I realized I still wanted to go to the ground in the winter.  So, like you, I decided to roll my own and built my own hammock that can also be used as a cot.

[@romanmax8561]

You can by a light hammock for under 20 bucks online I did it's great super strong . Then buy mosquito net separate they're cheap and a tarp . Total cost less then 50 bucks . And it's really light setup

[@borisscott9156]

These hammock 'systems' are way more complicated than I want to deal with. Over quilts, under quilts, side sleeping, sleeping on an angle, bug netting, tarps, etc. Ugh. Just set up my tent in about 5 minutes, throw down a pad and I'm done with it. By the time you get to around the 20 minute mark in the video what you end up with is an over-engineered over weight single person tent. That being said, if I was buying a hammock a double lined bottom like this one has would be absolutely essential. It solves a couple of game killer problems with a 6 ounce piece of zippered fabric.

[@Oldsparkey]

Not sure if you mentioned this and I missed it. The Warbonnet Blackbird is a total mosquito proof hammock that offers a lot of room inside it. The mosquitoes can not bite you threw the material and they can in the ENO Hammocks. I know this as a fact because I have both hammocks. Plus the blackbird is under 2 pounds at 26 oz for the standard length with the double bottom and whoopee lines. My other is the Clark Tropical Hammock which is also mosquito proof but a lot heavier then the Blackbird. It's my go to hammock when I want a standard style hammock. The taught line hitch i tie it with 4 wraps and then a loop at the last with the bitter end of the line outside the knot. This way in the morning I can grab the line and give it a tug untying it.

[@michaelballard7323]

I did catch another KZbinr who showed me a custom made tarp system similar to SuperFly here. One thing I thought I'd mention, was that he used shock cords at the guyouts, with little tug-loops tied through to the inside of the tarp at the guy point reinforcements. All you have to do to is reach out and give it a quick tug, and knock a night's pile-up off the tarp.

[@CathyGehrHDTV]

Looks like a handy product to have in our camping gear. I could also see it being useful as part of our survival kits that we've assembled in case of emergencies or natural disaster.

[@machodeth4822]

I've only used some cheap hammocks and this thing obviously blows it way out of the water. It's price is equivalent to simple high quality tents anyway, i'm sold. Sleeping semi flat is huge for me the cheap ones I've "tried" to sleep in sag your posture something fierce. Great vid as always Rob, looking forward to more.

[@DavidMoyers]

I agree with you totally. My brother and myself have tested them all also.

[@muleyscousin6258]

This is one of the BEST REVIEWS I've watched on the the BlackBird XLC Hammock and the SuperFly Tarp, and I've watched several of them. I want them both, and I'll probably get the Blackbird with Top Cover first and then when my budget allows, I'll purchase the SuperFly later. Thanks again for your video.

[@crallwilliam]

I have been thinking of hammock camping for a years' now and I believe I found a system I really like. Just have to pay off my winter camping Stuff now hahaha

[@kullcraven]

Cool hammock set up and i can see why you use it. I'm still using my 29.96 walmart hammock for a couple years. Altho i use a plastic diy tarp i have made, and used it in hurricanes and heavy snow fall. lol . Many different hammocks to choose from , tho i like your set up and nice gear.

[@supermoon1430]

Love the videos keep up the good work

[@pappy451]

great system,but i will have to skip lunch...for about 6 months to afford it. but i do want one. great review, thank you.

[@georgerosado5194]

forget it.. you just answered it in the rest of the video.. I had lost some connection on my cell phone reception but excellent video .thanks

[@philinthephilippines]

I can reccomend the War Bonnet Blackbird XLC as well as the Super fly... I practically lived in mine for a year...don't skimp get the Dutchware fleas and snake skins for the tarp!

[@curt46oct]

great info but that fade scenes to white sucks

[@markholland1778]

I agree, it's 10x better than an Eno which I consider a lounging hammock, not a camping hammock. But do not see much advantage over a Hennessy except for the storage shelf and double layer bottom. Unless you consider tying rope an advantage. I can have my Hennessy up, utilizing their snakeskin option, in under 5 minutes, with pad and sleeping bag in place.

[@nickk948]

My left ear really enjoyed this video

[@FogDog68]

Great Job. Very informative as always.. Thanks! When I do buy, it will be from you.

[@Dutch1911a1]

Great video! I've ordered mine with all the goodies... waiting and... waiting lol.

[@ateamNM]

Great job with the video and a very well produced narrative of the War Bonnet. If I were to become a devoted hammock camper I would invest up front with the very best. I motorcycle camp so weight is not a big issue although I do back pack some. Here are my negatives and of course there is no nirvana in this world. No perfect tent or tarp or hammock or bike or shoes or knife....... I camp in a Kelty Gunnison tent, @ 4 total pounds. Does not require stakes but I can. There really is no weight or size savings (I use a lot of compression bags). But the negatives is the time to set up the hammock compound. I can have the Kelty up and pad, bag and stuff inside in 10 minutes. Living in the desert SW trees are not always available. That is the main negatives I have. Small list. Advantages, never get wet on a tent floor. Lastly, no room for my dog. Thank you - Ateam

[@sigma3survivalschool]

ateamNM it takes less than 5 minutes to setup hammock. the tarp takes about 10. and if you don't have trees you just use the tarp and sleep on the ground. dog can sleep under the huge tarp. and these are far more waterproof than tents. I have had so many tents flood out in my area that I stopped using them altogether. haven't owned one in years.

[@ateamNM]

I wondered about the required time after you do it a few times. Thank you for the response. Ateam

[@BrianSniatkowski]

+ateamNM Five minutes for the hammock is a lot. I've timed myself in the basic Blackbird setup in a minute and 15 seconds. Add another minute for staking out the shelf and opposite side (not necessities). The tarp can take 5-10 minutes. Most of that spent untangling the lines from the last trip. If I took the time to roll up the lines when I took it down, 5 minutes max. I use Nite Ize FIgure 9 carabiner or Nite Ize Cam Jam instead of tying knots when hanging the tarp. That cuts a few mins off the tarp setup...and if there is no rain in the forecast I don't even bother with the tarp.

[@ateamNM]

Thanks for that. A bit of practice and time you become a pro at all things camping.

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

Yeah I'm getting my blackbird XLC this month. & I already have the superfly tarp.

[@kidjetrecon7153]

Amazing first time view yea Warbonnet is awesome wouldn’t go tree hanging without it.

[@n1iex]

Great vid thanks and keep them coming !

[@Heartlanddualsport]

Excellent video my friend. I appreciate you very detailed video you have on this hammock and hammock system. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a blessed week.

[@jochristensen5312]

The only thing that I don't like about this amazing hammock is how long that it takes to put it up. I love how small the whole hammock set stores.

[@robinconkel-hannan6629]

Good vid, thanks.. ..... Sure wish I could afford that set-up.. Looks like it might keep even me warm.. ..... That snow is insulating..

[@TheMan4547]

I have one and love it. I just invested in an underquilt and found it to be a good investment. I'll never go back to sleeping on the ground. One night I failed to tie out the sides of the superfly tarp and it rained all night and it came into contact with underquilt and got it pretty damp. Don't make the same mistake I did.

[@9th-Circle]

For me camping in cold weather where I live in a hammock isn't to big of an issue (I live in minnesota). I usually just throw a heavy blanket on the bottom of it and do just about everything else the same as you except I use a cheapo tarp. Although I don't own the warbonnet but I am now heavily considering buying one. May use it when I go to the Boundary Waters. Mostly because I don't want to haul around a 30 pound 8 person tent in my kayak. (Its the only tent my family owns).

[@9th-Circle]

Sorry, Blackbird XLC.

[@Blackscoutwinter]

Great video. Wish I had the money to spend on that tarp. Keep up the informative Great videos. I Watch all your new uploads.

[@underfiles1]

Hey man, love your videos. Would really like to see an update of your camping gear, or bugoutbag. I like your choices of gear and it would be nice to get some more inspiration from a video like your 'diary of a survivalist' serie. which i unfortunately can no longer find on youtube. Keep up the good work!

[@christiangernez3088]

Have you try this Hammock in Tropical Jungle conditions? How do you avoid water running down the straps into the hammock? Very good and informative video by the way, Thank you.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

we use them in Nicaraguan jungles. No issues at all with water going down the straps. they way they are built they won't do that like other hammocks will.

[@christiangernez3088]

Thank you for the response.

[@spidennis]

that is a good concern about water running down the straps. Once the water hits the metal buckles it becomes a drip point. The one thing I don't like about the integrated strap system is when once the straps are soaking wet you are storing them in with your dry hammock. I much prefer the separate strap system where I can store the soggy straps in dry bag and keep the wet from the dry stuff, much like having the wet tarp in it's own dry bag. I'm guessing you can request having it either way. ..... I see this post is 6 months old, did you get hammock yet?

[@rickcopeland1898]

Hammock Bliss Sky Bed Bug Free has an asymmetrical sleeve built into it for a pad too.

[@amrasurvivalchannel2708]

nice system

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Warbonnet is good stuff yet Hammock Gear and other cottage manufacturers make equally good stuff. All are better than the mass produced stuff from overseas and it is always best to buy things made in the good old USA. Carry on!

[@ontario_backwoods_beekeeping]

or you can make your own for $60-$90. way bigger and way more comfortable and i even have attached bugnet not to mention much stronger material than flimsy parachute. mine is same size as warbonnet but weighs 4.5lbs with rigging rope in the bag.

[@jacobkohnke8632]

Hang tight thats a good one

[@Robjmar7]

Excellent video. Well produced . You covered everything. I admire your business plan of only sponsoring quality gear manufacturers. Integrity. Good job man. I have a few questions please. The tie out for the shelf seems to be a great feature of the tarp. But I have a question on the tie out on the other side which keeps the bug net off your face. This is on the same side that you get in and out of the tarp. Doesn't it get in the way when you get in and out of the tarp? Could you give a brief explanation on how you handle this issue. Thanks.

[@johnnyredrum9189]

If I were to get this setup what size/brand compression bags should I get for hammock/tarp?

[@winkhvac62]

I love my Blackbird

[@jsmitty2047]

Hey just wondering if you have ever got to try a DD Jungle hammock, they are made in Scotland I believe, but hammock and tarp are 1/2 the price of the war bonnet...if you have was wondering on your thoughts/comparisons.

[@spidennis]

I have one of those and it won't replace my blackbird. I'll only use it in my shop/office. Strap system sucks, over all size too small. the Blackbird spoiled me I guess.

[@jsmitty2047]

thanks for the info.

[@milesbrinson4175]

yea its a a piece of junk

[@milesbrinson4175]

the blackbird is the best system

[@dougms9790]

I agree with your review but can't buy the warbonnet. Don't know what the problem is but they have no inventory.

[@airliner1980haj]

great review....! interesting product! have you ever tried DD Hammock?

[@georgerosado5194]

can u have the mosqito net along w the weather tarp on together?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

Yes

[@svenna2005]

hi. have you tried the Amok draumr hammock? it would be nice to hear your review on it. Great video!!

[@stkittsman1]

Goodday, I would like to see the Warbonnet Superfly tarp system compared to the NUBE from Sierra Madre Research.

[@timgreen2260]

My old, old, old travel hammock finally died though I tried in vane to repair it. I bought, at 30% sale price, a grand trunk single (org $55). 400 lbs rating and comes with cordage sufficient for setting up immediately. I wish they had has the double as well. My bad for not buying it last week when they still had them.

[@coolthings159]

You could try this hammock from amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B07NLSKSRF. It comes with carabiner and straps that make it very easy and quick to set up.

[@coolthings159]

[@dwtlax]

Which version of the hammock does your store offer?

[@kyletango]

If I understand correctly, the hammock comes with the bug net but the top cover is purchased separately?

[@kevinh.2047]

“Come closer...” proceeds to wack camera tying the knot lol. Cool setup, but I’m just too damm cheap!

[@sigma3survivalschool]

they actually have a model that can be had for about a 1/3 of the price. It's not quite as fancy. But it's way cheaper. Check this out. survivalgear.us/collections/hammocks/products/warbonnet-traveler-hammock

[@chrisj2114]

besides the footbox and removable bug netting what do you like better about the warbonnet vs a Hennessey? I have the dbl bottom jungle and I love it but I did consider the warbonnet.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

I've owned several hennessey hammocks. No comparison is quality and design. Double bottom is essential if you don't want to get annihilated by mosquitos. The shelf is the main difference. ANd I love the more lay flat design.

[@sambryson6827]

What type of watch and pants did you wear in this video?

[@dennisley3553]

I am thinking of purchasing a Clarks Jungle Hammock, NX270, and am wondering if you have tried a Clarks?

[@AbideinChristSealed]

Do you have this in stock, or does it take 2 weeks to make?

[@DougKerr123]

Looks super comfy but 3lbs? Thats more weight than I'm willing to carry for a one person shelter if I'm doing big miles on steep terrain.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

Doug Kerr then just take the tarp, it sleeps several people and only weighs a pound 11x12

[@giusepperesponte8077]

I never leave home without a tarp.

[@dnelsongb]

What are your feeling on the Clark Jungle Hammock along with the Super fly?

[@dnelsongb]

The two should be together, for sure! Love them both!

[@ElZilcho247]

What is about the Clark NX-270 in your opinion???

[@coreyekstrum7520]

Whats the straps attatched to on the hammock to tighten or loosen?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

The type that come with the hammock. Flat rope. With buckles

[@eatapeach2677]

Where are you from my friend ?? beautiful location in this video..... thanks for the great information on the subject. Just started hammock camping/backpacking this year, didnt believe it would be as enjoyable as it is but i wont ever sleep on the ground again. are these straps as good as the Atlas straps?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

That's in western Arkansas and the straps are the best I've used.

[@thomaskunkel2689]

What is the stated weight limit for this hammock?

[@TechWizeGuy]

Great review. What are you thoughts on this VS a Clark NX 250/270

[@dennisley3553]

I'm very interested, as well.

[@MrBlacknight222]

Hello I am somewhat new to the hammock camping experience and wish to have some feedback. I have two main models I am considering, first of all this one ;), and the Hennessy Jungle Safari I see the build quality in the warbird XLC ,and the new jungle safari ,but I can only afford to buy one hammock. To give some background I live in Minnesota and I plan to use which ever system in the absolute worst conditions "sometimes up here its like -20 actual temp and -73 windchill" accompanied by the absolut worst bug storms you can imagine. I remember when driving up we had a full inch of misquotes deposited on the front of the car. I am currently 6"0 195Lbs , and I want to try to convince my dad to try these hammocks so i need this hammock to be huge cuz "he is claustrophobic and probably like 275 or more. I need the double layer and needs to fit my brother good "he's like 6"4 and light. To me the Hennessy was my first choice it offers space,room,snake skins and the hex tarp, it would be great. On the flip side I can see that the Superfly by Warbonnet is heavy duty with doors and multiple tie points for very rough weather and USA quality to boot! To sum it up I want to know witch one stood the test of time and gave you the best options off the bat ,with no additional accessories. I did the math for what i would need and found the total price for the warbonnet to be 380.00 and the Hennessy 349.95 for the bare bones. My budget is probably like strait 400$ and i need to save some for other necessary things. what would you do in my situation?

[@Mike...921]

Hamilton Johnston I'm also new to this, but i just received a Hen. Expedition Zip, and it came with everything you need (but 2 or 4 stakes), snake skins, tree straps, hammock, and fly. No ideas on the Warbonnet, sorry!

[@user-fh7kl4ut6f]

Could you not get the superfly tarp, but still camp comfortably in summer conditions?

[@732WAR]

what kind of pack is that you're wearing ?

[@trooper2221]

yea my netting does not zip off on my warbonnett blackbird xlt. hmmm

[@iam4god2day]

where the tie lines attach to the tarp is it strong enough not to rip ? it looks like you would have to be careful not to pull it too tight and cause it to break , and also is it a tear proof material? so if it does tear it stops and does not rip all up , similar to a parachute which is tear proof?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

iam4god2day it has these heavy duty plastic d rings that are attached to material that is sewn WAY back on the tarp. They are very strong rings and I have had zero problems with them, even in heavy winds and snow. very durable.

[@giusepperesponte8077]

I'll trust your guarantee, I think I'll get one of these.

[@Daws867]

Sigma 3 Survival School lol...plastic d-rings for the price..definitely better out there...

[@sigma3survivalschool]

Fartskin Stephenson they are much better than cordage based tie outs. And it isn't the plastic or ring that fails on systems like this. It is the stitching. You can't really find better. Metal wouldn't hold up and better because other parts would fail first

[@BrianSniatkowski]

+carl krebs I first considered hammocks when my then wife developed back problems that made spending a night outdoors painful. We tried everything, thicker back pads, air backpads, but none gave her relief. It got to the point where for her the love of back country camping was tempered by the pain she awoke with in the morning, not to mention the discomfort throughout the night. A friend whose partner had back issues mentioned hammocks as a viable alternative for those who experienced back pain. I bought her a Blackbird for Mothers Day and we went camping shortly afterward. She slept in the Blackbird and I pitched my solo tent nearby. The next morning she awoke after a great night's sleep. I asked her how it was and she replied that she hadn't slept so well since she was in her mother's womb. It was so much more comfortable for her than anything we used outdoors and even more comfortable than our very expensive bedroom mattress. We half joked about finding a way to pitch it in our bedroom. She, in turn, bought me a Blackbird for Father's day and I haven't gone back to sleeping on the ground since. Even though I don't have back problems, the comfort of the Blackbird was amazing When we divorced, the only thing she wanted out of 20+ years of accumulated camping equipment were a Whisperlite stove, her sleeping bag, her backpack and her WB Blackbird.

[@BwanaSuttree]

Would having the double layer on the bottom be enough to prevent bug bites or do you need the pad?

[@sigma3survivalschool]

Double layer is fine. I tested this in jungle and never got bite. Guys in Clark hammocks got ate up by Mosquitos biting from bottom

[@paddlepower888]

If you spray your hammock and bugnet with permethrin you will keep the bug away from biting you through the hammock

[@bahud29]

Nice system and product, but ENO is my system

[@spidennis]

I started with eno but then got a blackbird. In the stores I looked at newer eno stuff and it all seemed heavy in comparison. their straps sucked! way too much stretch and not enough adjustment range.

[@cheesepuddin1266]

when you hear the breathing in the whole video

[@giusepperesponte8077]

I can never shake the feeling with hammocks that it's going to rip, or something is gonna give, I normally hover in weight around 240 sooo... What's the durability on this stitching?

[@wepntech]

Baron Ockslite I weigh 230 currently and inluding all the gear i usually wear am usually around 250... i use a cheap like 5 dollar ebay deal from china... and have never had any tearin other then when i screwed around with weak anchor lines, shoe lace type line not good for holding that klinda weight ... so it snapped. not a problem with 550 cord or anything else stronger.... plus a ripstop tarp some mylar for heat reflection, and some time a sleeping bag or something for bedding for overnight trips, and im set.

[@nbs90]

[@ramsaymcewan3916]

what about the DD xl front line chaps what do you think

[@stevenlent8772]

Ramsay McEwan yes i would like to know anyone in the sates that has tried a dd hammock

[@snugglyjeff214]

steven lent I can get back with you in about 2 weeks on that one. I am getting the frontline XL and the 4x4 meter tarp, because I want a good 1.5 feet overhang on each side of the hammock while it is in lean-to config so I have a large workspace or extra ground space for someone to camp with me. I am hoping it works out well. Typically people use a 3mx3m in diagonal config and that gives you a 14 foot ridge with a 2 foot overhang on each end of the hammock, but you get virtually no rain coverage when outside the hammock.

[@JK-vp2ux]

I bought my son a hammock with a mosquito netting like that. He said that the mosquito bit him through the hammock. You probably need one of those setups that encloses the hammock with a net that doesn't touch the hammock.

[@ReneMarcouxJr]

+John King if they bite frrom the bottom a bottom quilt adds both warmth and protection from bites, im ssure a variation of some form would do the trick.

[@flashmanv3260]

Yea, if bugs are bad, the free hanging net is better. They are fairly universal, so you could use that net on this hammock. I'm sure Warbonnet makes a full net also.

[@spidennis]

I have the warbonnet full net, but never had to use it .....

I need this. God please give me one

[@clarkgwozdecki6782]

Does it include HBO and a hot shower?

[@spidennis]

HBO? No. but the Outdoor Channel is hi def wide screen with surround a sound! ..... and the hot shower thing can always be done but do you really want that out there?

[@kerry1383]

It's not about "tightening", it's about raising or lowering your hammock. Your set up should never be "tightened", you need the 30º angle regardless of the tree width.

It would be nice if your audio didn't just play in my left ear.

So, my friend and I plan on bushcraft camping over the summer a lot. And he's dead set on a hammock. But the hitch is is him and I are well, a bit more heavy set them most people. And I fear that these tiny thin as all hell hammocks would break if my fat ass sat on it. Is there a cheap hammock that would do well for us? Or just make our own?

I have read that misquitos can bite you through the underside of the hammock, have you encountered any problems with that? Frankly I would prefer not to pay $210 for a hammock and like to go other avenues.

Mosquitoes are not a problem for me in my blackbird. I use a summer weight center zip mummy bag as a full length underquilt. no skeeters get thru that. I also have a full external bug net that I've never had to use ..... but at least I'm prepared!
